Excess weight causes more than 124 000 new cases of cancer per year in Europe: new estimates
Dr. Renehan said that while European countries have been adopting measures to address the epidemic of obesity, this study has underlined the urgency of the task and the extent of problems caused by overweight people. Continue reading
Drugs for bone disease linked to ‘Jaw Death’
People taking these medications should consult their dentist regularly, and they need to recognize the importance of preventive dental care, he said. And when there is a problem, we must do everything possible to save teeth. Continue reading
Atrial fibrillation: new management approaches for the “new epidemic” of cardiovascular disease
However, most of the determinants of risk of atrial fibrillation remains elusive , and the report shows a clear and unmet need to identify and characterize the factors associated with the progression of AF. Continue reading
Added “Boost” Proton X-ray radiation reduces recurrence of prostate cancer
During external beam radiation, a beam of radiation is directed through the skin cancer and the immediate surroundings in order to destroy the main tumor and any nearby cancer cells. Continue reading
You can not concentrate? Maybe it’s the wrong time of month
The similarity between human studies and our results suggest that we have a good model for human learning, says first author Matthew Quinlan, a former doctoral student at Concordia, now a professor at the University of California San Bernardino . Rodent research is valuable to us. We can solve the real collaborators and their respective roles in these systems. And ‘much more difficult to conduct similar experiments in humans Continue reading
Engineers to provide an overview of the decades-old DNA Squabble
Arya and his team have developed a sophisticated model of chromatin, which is mathematically accessible, but sufficiently detailed to provide an overview of its structure and dynamics. By simulating this model under physiological conditions, using computer algorithms fast, Arya has provided the first evidence that the chromatin solenoid is not only in the forms or zig-zag, but he has a heteromorphic structure where both structures are in equilibrium with each other. Arya’s collaborators have developed a novel technique called electron microscopy to capture the experimental nucleosome helped confirm the results Arya s. Continue reading

$ 1 million in federal funds to develop a new approach for reversing Type 1 diabetes
Insulin is the hormone that helps the body convert glucose from food into energy. When beta cells are destroyed, no insulin can be produced. Replacement therapy, insulin helps the body maintain normal blood sugar, but does not prevent serious health problems like diabetes, blindness, nerve damage, heart disease and kidney failure. Continue reading
Ecstasy users at increased risk of sleep apnea
and 62 people who had never used illegal drugs. Ecstasy users showed a higher risk than eight times higher in sleep apnea than non-users. Mild sleep apnea rates were similar in both groups , but only ecstasy users had moderate or severe sleep apnea . Continue reading
