Circadian Rhythm Could Determine Lung Function

...ication. Researchers say late afternoon, when lung capacity is at its highest, may be the best time to exercise. Also, people with asthma and pulmonary diseases, who usually administer medication around the clock, may need more or less of their medication depending on the time of day. Researchers say that Ci...

...anded the lifespan well beyond the brain’s natural capacity ... The process of adult brain development and becoming ‘wiser’ has this downside that evolution could not anticipate. Researchers say the new brain model suggests the best time to address myelin depletion is when it begins -- middle age. They say ...

Understanding The Harmful Effects Of Radiation Exposure

...months of age. Participants had their intellectual capacity tested at age 18 years or 19 years. Researchers also studied school attendance records for the young men. Results of the study showed boys who received increasing doses of radiation in the front and back parts of their brains were more likely to mis...

Measuring Death Risk in COPD Patients

... . For the study researchers compared inspiratory capacity -- how much air is breathed in -- to total lung capacity in 689 COPD patients. Results showed 42 percent of the patients who took the new test scored below t...

Shrinking bladder with age is a thing of past

...om more. Researchers had compiled data on bladder capacity and stability, urethral closure pressure, voiding flow rate and detrusor contraction strength from 95 females of ages 22 to 90. The results were that what happens is that functionality of the bladder and the urethra decreases but the size of the blad...

Noise pollution can cause harm in cognitive development of children

Embryonic stem cells are currently derived from very early embryos left over from infertility treatments. In May, researchers in South Korea had created batches of embryonic stem cells from nine patients and...

Hope for individuals suffering from Chagas disease

...usative agent of Chagas disease renowned for their capacity to evade the human immune system. Trypanosoma cruzi usually enters humans, when they are bitten by insects called assassin bugs. The disease is also transmitted through blood transfusions, and from mother to child during pregnancy. For developing t...

Understanding Chronic Infections May Help in Developing Therapeutic Vaccines

...ce T cell function, particularly the proliferative capacity of T cells. Possible examples include anti-virals that could be given prior to therapeutic vaccination, or a cytokine that might boost the proliferation or survival of responding cells. While Wherry's primary interest is in chronic infection, he note...

Pulmonary rehabilitation program effective for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

New Study to look at the Beneficial Effects of Coenzyme Q10 on Parkinson’s disease

...to two thirds of global demand. Kaneka doubled its capacity to 150 tons last year and is adding a further 30 tons this year, followed by an additional 100 tons at a new plant next year. In the phase II study, researchers compared a placebo with three doses of CoQ10 – 300, 600 and 1200 mg/day. Each group cons...

Habit Memory May Enhance Learning In People

...ers had speculated that humans might have the same capacity to acquire habit memory, but that this capability is ordinarily obscured by our excellent capacity to learn by conscious memorization. In the study reported in Nature, two human volunteers with amne...
