Thrombosis Breakthrough May Lead To New Treatment Options
Researchers at the Institute for Cardiovascular and Metabolic Research (ICMR) at the University of Reading, have discovered the mechanism by which platelets bind together to form blood clots. This discovery, they say, can lay the foundation for new treatments to prevent stroke or heart attacks. In healthy people, blood is always in a physiological fluid-coagulant equilibrium. In other words, when the ...
Vaccine May Extend The Lives Of Patients With Brain Cancer
New advances have been made to treat an aggressive form of brain tumor. The vaccine, which passed the phase 2 clinical trial, may extend lives of patients suffering from glioblastoma multiforme. Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is part of astrocitic tumors and is an aggressive form of cancer arising from nervous system glial cell proliferation. These tumors are infiltrative tumors and are poorly defined from surrounding tissue. ...
Research Reveals New Acute lymphoblastic Leukemia Treatment Target
Researchers at Columbia University Medical Center, have made new discoveries in the treatment of an aggressive forms of leukemia, acute lymphoblastic T-cell leukemia. The study, which was published in the online edition of Cancer Cell, demonstrates the role of two molecules, phosphoinositide-3 kinase (PI3K) gamma and delta, involved in the development of acute lymphoblastic T-cell leukemia (T-ALL). The new discovery by researchers at Columbia ...
Vaccine Increases Lung Cancer Survival Rates
New possible advances in treatment of lung cancer were presented at the AACR Annual Meeting 2012, held March 31 - April 4. Researchers believe that a therapeutic vaccine, belagenpumatucel-L, can increase long-term survival in patients with lung cancer. Lyudmila Bazhenova, MD, associate clinical professor at the University of California-San Diego Moores Cancer Center in La Jolla, California, said that this therapeutic approach proved to be ...
New Breast Cancer Susceptibility Gene Discovered
According to a study published in American Journal of Human Genetics, a new gene involved in genetic susceptibility to breast cancer was discovered. According to researchers, XRCC2 gene mutations lead to breast cancer.Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women. Studies show that 15% of healthy women with at least one first degree relative with breast cancer are at risk. ...
Study Sheds Light On Pregnancy-Induced Hypertension (Preeclampsia)
New research on preeclampsia (pregnancy-induced hypertension), shows that this pregnancy complication could be detected and treated better and faster. According to a study led by Cleveland Clinic's Lerner Researchers in Research Institute, corin deficiency, an enzyme present in physiological conditions in the heart tissue, is correlated with the risk of developing preeclampsia. Researchers at the Cleveland Clinic's Lerner Research Institute conducted a study ...
New FDA Regulations Push PCPs To Improve Their Chronic Pain Management Skills
PCPs, or primary care physicians have to treat numerous patients suffering from chronic pain. Unfortunately they lack the necessary training in assessing and managing patients with chronic pain, most importantly the management of chronic pain through the use of opioid medication. The United States FDA (Food and Drug Administration) has made PCP education one of the most important parts of ...
A Link Between Telomeres And Cancer Cells Found By New Study
A new study published on the 11th of March reveals the way human cells recognize the damage suffered by their DNA. The study also reveals that cells can sense even only the possibility of future damage, which could lead to future dividing failure. Scientists have shown that telomeres, which are repetitive nucleotide sequences found at the end of each chromosome, ...
Study Sheds Light On The Blood-Brain Barrier Mechanism
Researchers at the University of Copenhagen have discovered that the blood-brain barrier plays a key role in maintaining glutamate balance . The study, which has recently been published in the journal GLIA Scientific, uncovers a glutamate balance mechanism unknown until now to scientists. Researchers have discovered the new mechanism while trying to see how the amino acids enter the brain. Dr. Birger Brodina emphasizes that medical breakthroughs are ...
Healthcare Reform in America: How It Affects You
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) makes several changes to the way health insurers provide coverage. The act does not provide for government-run health care, but it does have mandates requiring that health insurers provide coverage in certain situations and also makes changes to Medicare coverage for seniors. Key parts of the Affordable Care Act that will affect many Americans are: Insurance ...
