Sleep apnea is a breathing disorder characterized by repeated pauses in breathing during sleep. There are three types of sleep apnea, obstructive form , central form, and mixed form. It should be noted that such ...
Study Shows That Vitamin D Does Not Improve Brain Activity in Teenagers
A new research published in the online Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health reveals that the brain activity of teens is not positively influenced by higher levels of vitamin D. According to precedent studies, higher levels of vitamin D directly influence the brain activity of adults. The main goal of this current study was to investigate if vitamin D has the ...
Study Links Smoking To Barrett’s Esophagus
New research conducted by the National Cancer Institute shows that smoking is a risk factor for Barrett's esophagus, among gastroesophageal reflux disease. Barrett esophagus is a lesion characterized by the appearance of islands of intestinal cells in the esophagus. Normally, the esophagus is covered inside by a lining composed of squamous epithelium. Intestinal epithelium is usually caused by gastroesophageal reflux after ...
Epilepsy-Like Symptoms Attributed To Stress And Poor Coping Skills
Doctors and psychologists at Johns Hopkins have noticed that more than one-third of patients admitted with the presumptive diagnosis of epilepsy do not actually have epilepsy and their seizures are actually caused due to stress.

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by sudden and ...
Marijuana-Like Compound Found Effective Against Late Stage HIV Infection
According to a new study published in the journal PloS ONE, researchers from Mount Sinai School of Medicine discovered that marijuana-like compounds can inhibit the multiplication of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in late-stage AIDS by acting on viral receptors. Medical marijuana is prescribed in diseases which are accompanied by appetite suppression or by sever weight loss also for management of chronic pain, symptoms ...
Study Links Antibiotic Use To More Severe Allergic Asthma Cases
A study conducted by researchers at University of British Columbia found out that the increased incidence and severity of allergies asthma in early life is correlated to the wide use of antibiotics. The study was published today in the journal EMBO reports. The prevalence of allergic asthma is increasing by 5 per cent every decade, particularly in industrialized countries, and it affects nowadays more ...
Scientists Can Stop Bladder Cancer To Metastasize To Lungs
According to new study conducted at the University of Colorado and published today in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, researchers were able to demonstrate the way in which bladder cancer metastasizes to the lungs and to develop a method that can stop bladder cancer dissemination into the lungs.
