Heart damage a consequence of Atkins’ Die

...products. Researchers used the magnetic resonance spectroscopy or MRS to analyze how energy was being stored and used in the heart muscle. After two weeks on the Atkins’ diet, they found the participants had stored energy significantly reduced although many other aspects of heart function remained unaffected. ...

Help at hand for RRMS patients

...ne neurological assessments and magnetic resonance spectroscopy imaging (MRSI) scans were performed. Eighteen patients were treated with COPAXONE? (glatiramer acetate injection) and followed for two years with neurological assessments every six months and MRSI scans annually. Due to needle phobia, four patients e...

Secret Of Heartbeat Protein Unravelled

...am used high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to solve the structure of PDZ1, as well as a small portion of the receptor to which it binds. Mierke said knowing how a piece of SAP97 is built is an important step. Now that part of the protein's structure is solved, scientists can create a molecul...

DNA Testing For More Accurate Results

...uses a technique called Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy to assess DNA taken from a small amount of the patient’s blood. The DNA test for MDS is highly predictive and most promising ,say researchers and they believe that a study with a larger number of samples will validate their initial findings and thu...

Tamoxifen does not adversely affect the brain

...e. The researchers used proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy to determine levels of the cerebral metabolite myo-inositol, which has been found at elevated levels during brain injury, in the brains of 80 women. Sixteen of the women were breast cancer patients who had received tamoxifen therapy for at least two ...
