| Clinical waste may be valuable for monitoring treatment response in ovarian cancer Posted: 06 Dec 2013 01:30 PM PST A microchip-based device developed may greatly simplify the monitoring of patients' response to treatment for ovarian cancer -- the most lethal form of gynecologic cancer -- and certain other malignancies. The team reports using their device to isolate and identify tumor cells from ascites, an accumulation of fluid in the abdomen that often occurs in abdominal cancers.  |
| Calibration tools to encourage use of novel medical imaging technique Posted: 06 Dec 2013 01:30 PM PST Researchers have developed prototype calibration tools for an experimental medical imaging technique that offer new advantages in diagnosing and monitoring of certain cancers and possibly other medical conditions.  |
| Decreased diversity of bacteria microbiome in gut associated colorectal cancer Posted: 06 Dec 2013 01:30 PM PST Decreased diversity in the microbial community found in the human gut is associated with colorectal cancer, according to a new study published.  |
| U.S. malaria cases increase with international travel Posted: 06 Dec 2013 01:30 PM PST Researchers are looking for new ways to fight malaria through mosquito control. In 2011, 1,925 malaria cases were reported in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This number is the highest seen since 1971 and represents a 48 percent increase from 2008. The majority of malaria infections in the U.S. occur among people who have traveled to regions with malaria endemic.  |
| Angioplasty may not be better than drug therapy in stable disease Posted: 06 Dec 2013 01:29 PM PST For patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) who are not experiencing a heart attack and an abnormal stress test, treatment of their narrowed arteries by the common procedure of angioplasty may not provide additional benefits compared to drug therapy alone. This finding results from a survey of more than 4,000 patients with myocardial ischemia, or inadequate circulation, led by cardiologists.  |
| Better diagnoses may help vets with anxiety get treatment Posted: 05 Dec 2013 01:58 PM PST Veterans who suffer from anxiety may not get appropriate treatment for want of a specific diagnosis, finds a new study.  |
| International study finds lower-dose IUDs safe, effective Posted: 05 Dec 2013 11:21 AM PST In a finding that could expand the use of one of the most effective forms of birth control, two intrauterine contraceptive systems that had lower doses of the contraceptive hormone, levonorgestrel, were found to be safe and effective in preventing pregnancies.  |
| Home-based exercise as rehabiltation Posted: 05 Dec 2013 11:19 AM PST Home-based high-intensity exercise for rehabilitation after cardiovascular disease can be effective, even if patients work out without expensive exercise monitoring machines, new research from the Norwegian researchers has shown.  |
| Posted: 05 Dec 2013 11:18 AM PST Yeast cells are able to form a memory through an aggregate composed of congregating "degenerate" proteins. A similar memory mechanism is also thought to exist in the nerve cells of higher organisms.  |
| Tracking exercise associated with weight lose, better glucose control for patients Posted: 05 Dec 2013 11:18 AM PST Asking patients about their exercise habits was associated with weight loss in overweight patients and improved glucose control for patients with diabetes, according to a recently published study.  |
| Ancient 'fig wasp' lived tens of millions of years before figs Posted: 05 Dec 2013 11:16 AM PST A 115-million-year-old fossilized wasp from northeast Brazil presents a baffling puzzle to researchers. The wasp's ovipositor, the organ through which it lays its eggs, looks a lot like those of present-day wasps that lay their eggs in figs. The problem, researchers say, is that figs arose about 65 million years after this wasp was alive.  |
