New Nano-power Could Make Biopsies Sensitive and Efficient

...ds. Nanoparticles have been used before to destroy diseased cells but this is the first time they have actually retrieved cells. The technique could prove advantageous for people with leukaemia, who must go through regular bone marrow biopsies to check for signs of the slow disease. "Quite often, for ex...

Intensive Training of Young Tennis Players Causes Spinal Damage

...actures. Twenty three players had early signs of diseased facet joint (arthropathy), causing moderate permanent degeneration in nine of them. Facet joints help the spine bend backwards. At 70%, the rate of facet joint arthropathy was four to five times higher than that of the general population. Twenty pl...

Hip and Knee Replacements Becoming More Patient-friendly

...ically means replacing painful, arthritic, worn or diseased parts of the joint with artificial metal and plastic surfaces so as to allow joint movement. Traditionally, this is done by way of a large incision in the joint. Minimally invasive surgeries on the other hand, result in a smaller scar and have the fu...

Neurological Disorder Gene Identified

...mutations of FIG4, the same gene implicated in the diseased mice. The finding has resulted in a newly identified form of the disease called CMT4J. In the phase of the research involving human patients, the multidisciplinary team of U-M scientists collaborated with scientists at Wayne State University and Ba...

Novel Treatment Beneficial for Colon and Liver Cancer

... since the introduction of the correct gene in the diseased body can cause it to repair itself and destroy the tumor. In addition, the researcher of the University of Navarra noted that colon cancer alone causes more than 500,000 deaths per year in the West, and currently the only effective treatment is sur...

Legalization of Therapeutic Abortion in UAE on the Cards

...But some Islamic scholars argue that abortion of a diseased fetus is also allowed as long as it is younger than 120 days. About one in 12 Emiratis carry the gene for thalassemia, a genetic disease characterized by the breakdown of oxygen-rich red blood cells, and other haemoglobinopathies. Other than thal...

Scientists Equip Bacteria With Custom Chemo-Navigational System

...i-cancer drug, for instance, can be used to target diseased cells while sparing healthy cells of side effects. Likewise, scientists are researching ways to use bacteria to clean up oil spills or remove other pollutants from soil, water and wastewater. 'This new ability to equip motile bacteria with a precis...

Web-based Asthma Program Improves Disease Management for Black Students

... was significantly improved and the state of being diseased was significantly reduced when compared with a control group with access to generic asthma education websites. During the study, the treatment group reported slightly less than one night of symptoms every two weeks, as contrasted with the control g...

UW Establishes Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine Center

...seeks to develop technologies to repair or replace diseased or defective tissues or organs. Kamp and Svendsen estimate that as many as 50 UW-Madison faculty are engaged to varying degrees in stem cell research and regenerative medicine. In addition to the much-publicized work with human cells on the UW-Madi...
