Anti-depressants Do Not Increase the Overall Risk of Most Birth Defects

...ly few subjects and only side effects with a large frequency are detected. Once approved, many people take the medication and even very rare side effects surface, Dr. Michael Katz, acting Medical Director of the March of Dimes, said.

Furore Over Spa Planned on Active Philippines Volcano

...ic activity has increased in recent weeks with the frequency of volcanic quakes rising and with the crater island showing signs of bulging. The environment and natural resources department said, amid protests from Talisay residents, that the building of viewing decks, an elevator and an access road did not n...

Skin Cancer can Be Triggered by P53 Mutation

...te gain-of-function properties that accelerate the frequency and progression of malignant SCC. Future studies will hopefully discover ways to target these mutations for therapeutic purposes. A link between skin inflammation and SCC formation was first reported in the 19th century. In the second of these 2 ne...

Completely Neutral Evolutionary Changes Helped Shape Our Genome

...only have around 600 numts. Since they increase in frequency as species advance, it suggested there was some evolutionary purpose to keeping them around. Strikingly, however, none of these numts contained the blueprint (an actual gene) to make a protein that does anything, nor did they seem to control the f...

But the authors warned patients against trying these experiments on their own, calling instead for more research to gauge the effects of drug-combinations on patients. "The one thing that should not be anticipated is...

Such food-drug combinations should be studied to assess the effects, note person-to-person variations, and enable physicians to predict how ...

Probable Health Monitor Sends SMS of Emergency Alerts and ECG

The modified phone has an added analyzer circuit that checks the ECG signal for signs of imminent cardiac failure. If errant signals are detect, such as any arrhythmia, the cell phone alerts the patient and tran...

Rare events become the norm, and the extreme events of the future are unprecedented in their severity," said Noah Diffenbaugh, Purdue assistant professor of eart...

Scientists Identify Previously Undetected Drug-resistant Forms of HIV

Dr. Kozal said that the study aimed at determining whether patients who failed therapy early were initially infected with drug resistant ...

Eyelid Spasm can Be Prevented by Coffee Drinking

...for the protective effect is caffeine, but the low frequency of decaffeinated coffee intake in Italy prevented us from examining the effects of caffeine on blepharospasm. They suggest that caffeine blocks adenosine receptors as has been proposed for its mechanism in protecting against Parkinsons disease. The...

Effective Treatment for Malaria Control

...es evaluated data to assess whether increasing the frequency of IPT with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine during pregnancy could provide a temporary respite in areas in Africa with increasing sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine resistance. The researchers identified four trials that compared 2-dose IPT with sulfadoxine-pyrim...

Scientists Identify Broad Neural Response Behind Speech Reception
