Exercise may prevent liver cancer, according to study
Researchers have demonstrated in studies conducted on rats that regular exercise reduces the risk of developing hepatocellular carcinoma. The study results were presented at the International Liver Congress 2013. Although it is a study made on laboratory animals, this research opens the way to other studies conducted on humans to prove that regular exercise reduces the risk of liver cancer.

Da Vinci’s robot benefits
The da Vinci robot is currently the most advanced surgical robot designed to perform many types of interventions (urologic surgery, gynecological, laparoscopic, etc.). The da Vinci robot consists of four multi-articulated arms which handles various instruments (scalpel, scissors, camera etc.) and a console. Despite its appearance, the da Vinci robot is designed to perform operations with a lot of finesse. Robotic surgery is ...
New Hormone Increases Beta Cell Production – New Diabetes Treatment Just Around The Corner
Diabetes is a metabolic disease characterized by high blood sugar, either because the pancreas is not capable of producing enough insulin, or the cells are unresponsive to the insulin that the pancreas produces. Recently, a team of scientists from the HSCI (Harvard Stem Cell Institute) discovered that a new hormone might be capable of increasing the effectiveness of both types of diabetes. Currently, diabetes ...
Anti-reflux Surgery More Effective Than Medication, According to study
According to a study led by researchers at the University of Aberdeen, anti-reflux surgery is more effective in relieving symptoms of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) than drug therapy. GORD is one of the most common diseases in gastroenterology and affects about 20-30% of Western adults.
GORD is a condition that is manifested by heartburn and the symptoms can be diverse and ...
Our Brains Are Mathematical Geniuses According To New Study
According to Thomas Albright, the director of the Vision Center Laboratory from the Salk Institute, in California, the remote place retreat used by so many people in order to "turn off" their brains is in fact not what it seems. Albright, an expert in the functionality of the visual system explains that the change of scenery makes the brain assess ...
CT and serum LDH may predict survival rate in advanced melanoma patients
According to recent studies, the survival rate of patients with metastatic melanoma can now be predicted by computed tomography and serum LDH levels. Among all types of skin cancer, melanoma is the most aggressive form of skin cancer and has a very poor prognosis, especially if discovered in advanced stages.
There is a genetic predisposition for melanoma. There have been discovered ...
Excessive sugar consumption prevents lungs and heart from normal functioning
According to recent studies, excessive consumption of sugar not only leads to obesity and diabetes but can even prevent heart and lungs from working properly. Lungs and heart pump blood in the organism with the help of some proteins called elastins, and it seems that excess sugar disturb the function of these proteins.
In a healthy lung, these proteins form a ...
Combined Therapy Brings New Hope For Aggressive Forms Of Breast Cancers
According to an article published in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine, it seems that researchers have made new progress in the treatment of triple negative breast cancer, a form of breast cancer that occurs in young women. Triple negative breast cancer does not express estrogen receptors ( ER), progesterone receptors ( PR) or Her2/neu (human epidermal growth factor receptor type ...
Researchers found new kidney cancer subtypes
Researchers at the Institute of Urologic Oncology and the Department of Urology at UCLA have discovered a new subtype of clear cell renal cancer. This discovery is a step forward in the development of personalized treatments designed according to the patient. Renal cancer represents about 3% of cancers in adults, and of the types of kidney cancer, renal cell carcinoma is ...
New Discoveries Regarding Alcohol Abuse
Researchers at Indiana University School of Medicine have made new discoveries about alcohol abuse. It seems that the release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter in the brain, is related to the taste of beer, without the intoxicating effect of alcohol, as previously thought. The study was published in the journal Neuropsychopharmacology and demonstrates that alcohol abuse could be caused by some ...
