How brain pacemakers erase diseased messages

...rmation at bay. Indeed, slower pulses can actually add to problematic bursts, they showed. The model's findings closely parallel the clinical responses of patients, who typically experience the greatest relief from symptoms when their devices are tuned by physicians to deliver rapid pulses, Grill said...

Hawaiian treasure, macadamia nuts good for the heart

..., we could switch skim milk for 2 percent milk and add some macadamia nuts." Macadamia nuts are native to Australia, but were imported to Hawaii and thrived. The first commercials crop of Hawaiian macadamia nuts was harvested in 1956. ...

Novel system developed to turn data into real-time, interactive 3-D images

...ect in real-time, giving physicians the ability to add and remove data, as well as to instantly view internal structures not otherwise visible. "Data viewing is rapid and allows accurate diagnosis in a fraction of the time that physicians must now spend using current image viewing technologies," Clem...

Researchers attach genes to minichromosomes in maize

...rticularly useful because they allow scientists to add numerous genes onto one minichromosome and manipulate those genes easily because they are all in one place, Birchler said. Genetic modification with traditional methods is more complicated because scientists have little control over where the genes a...

Heavy multivitamin use may be linked to advanced prostate cancer

... antioxidant supplements. “Lawson [and colleagues] add to the growing evidence that questions the beneficial value of antioxidant vitamin pills in generally well-nourished populations and underscore the possibility that antioxidant supplements could have unintended consequences for our health,?the autho...

"Iowa State University, with its central location in the agricultural belt and rich traditions of research and service, is uniquely positioned to set the standard for biorenewables research, education and technology transfer," Geoff...

Cold sore virus might play role in Alzheimer's disease

...ished online in the journal Neurobiology of Aging, add some scientific heft to the idea, long suspected by some scientists, that herpes somehow plays a role in bringing about Alzheimer's disease. The work links a form of the ApoE gene known as ApoE-4, which after advanced age is the leading known risk f...

Scientists create dual-modality microbeads to improve identification of disease biomarkers

...oped a technique to simultaneously or sequentially add optical and magnetic nanoparticles into the beads. Adding magnetic nanoparticles allows the use of a magnetic field to attract and easily remove the beads from a liquid sample. "These nanoparticles enter the pores of the microbeads so quickly and ...

Scientists discover a new risk factor for Alzheimer's

...ease in the production of amyloid-beta. Now we can add our new observation that variants of the SORL1 gene are associated with an increased risk of Alzheimer's." St George Hyslop said that other researchers need to replicate the results in other groups. "Even though we've seen it in six different group...

Researchers hot on the trail of brain cell degeneration

"This area of investigation could therefore offer novel therapeutic strategies for neurodegenerative diseases". Targeting molecular signals How neurons ac...

New cigarette designs don't offer lower predicted cancer risks

Still, when he lectures around the country and asks for a show of hands of physicians using HPV tests in women over 30, few go up; he hopes that will change. “I think it’s a possibility in the future that we won’t be doing...

Bacteria from patient's dental plaque causes ventilator-associated pneumonia
