Scientists Develop New Technology To Find About Human Ancestors’ Teet

... to examine the fossils of our ancestors’ teeth to predict how our diets have evolved through the ages and why. By comparing teeth from two species of early humans, Australopithecus africanus and Paranthropus robustus, the researchers confirm previous evidence that A. africanus ate more tough foods, such as...

Prostratin- Drug to eradicate HIV

...ly tested in a laboratory setting, the researchers predict they will gain approval to test their hypothesis in patients as early as next year. Prostratin could be a crucial second tier treatment in the battle against HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. In the last five years, anti-HIV drugs, known as highly ac...

Pregnancy Complications Could Be Prevented With A Urine Test

...ajor complications. A simple urine test could help predict the onset of this disease one to two months before the onset of clinical symptoms, and that could make a tremendous difference in outcomes for patients ....

Predicting Breast Cancer Recurrence By Understanding Gene Signature

...earchers identified a 76-gene signature that could predict cancer relapse. The gene signature was tested on 171 lymph-node-negative patients in the study and it predicted (with a 93-percent sensitivity) which patients would have a cancer recurrence within five years. However the test was less accurate (with ...

Patients Fare Better With Doctors Who Do More Angioplasty Procedures

...ile a cutoff number may not be enough by itself to predict how well a patient will do, it’s still a useful tool. In fact, the new study suggests that 90 procedures a year may be a better threshold than 75, the current standard used by national heart groups. (Source: Newswise)...

Researchers Find Out The Cause Of Immune Attacks Behind Hearing Loss

...that a direct test for antibodies could accurately predict which patients will regain hearing with steroid treatment. The new findings also may be important to people with systemic autoimmune disorders such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis. Such people may be prone to losing all or part of their hearing du...

Blood Test To Predict Heart Failures

Artery Stiffness Linked To Increasing Levels Of C-reactive protein

...eart failure. The current inability to accurately predict cardiovascular events such as heart attack is a problem. The researchers said that their study provides a new insight into how low grade inflammation could be related to heart and stroke by its association with arterial stiffness. Thus suppression of...

Blood Test To Detect Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease/Mad Cow Disease

...fusions and organ transplants, and help experts to predict the size of any future vCJD epidemic. About 180 people worldwide have died from variant Creutzfeldt-Jackobson disease, which is linked to eating mad cow disease infected meat. Scientists warn there could be many more deaths in the coming decades beca...

Risk of colon cancer to be assessed by simple blood test

...hers are now trying to develop a practical test to predict a person's risk of colon cancer by looking for a particular biological marker in the blood. If successful, the test could be broadly applied to identify those who most need to be monitored with invasive but standard colonoscopy or who should make cha...

It Is Possible To Detect Alzheimer's Early

...f // cognitive function are the best way so far to predict whether healthy elderly people will develop Alzheimer’s. In one study, more than 80% of people who scored below a certain level on a test of delayed word recall developed Alzheimer’s over the next 10 years. Brain scans may also prove useful. Research...

Breast Cancer Protein MSF Linked To Disease Severity

This protein estimation would help for a better treatment and may also help in developing individual treatment protocols for better prognosis for b...

Weight gain intimately linked to prostate cancer

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy aids in mapping protein structure

... like to be able to start with a gene sequence and predict the structure of a protein and its function. In this case, given an NMR pattern, we can tell you how the protein will act. In general, this method may provide information about even more complex biological systems. This is an approach that will be im...

Feelings Of Sympathy And Empathy Dictated by Personal Experience

...he intentions of other people. In this way, we can predict not only the consequences of other people’s actions, but we are able to "put ourselves in the position" of the other person. Such a mechanism is the basis for sympathy and empathy, and thus decisive for the success and continuity of social relationsh...

Hazards of Electromagnetic Fields for children

... the health consequences of these are difficult to predict and manage. With rapid advances in electromagnetic field (EMF) technologies and // communications, children are increasingly exposed to EMFs at an earlier age. Due to an association between childhood leukemia and exposure to extremely low frequency (...
