Alcohol consumption disrupts breastfeeding hormones

... 17 women who were nursing infants between 2 and 4 months of age. While in a controlled clinical setting away from their infants, each woman drank a beverage containing alcohol in orange juice on one day and plain orange juice on a different day. The dose of alcohol was equivalent to that found in one to tw...

Embryonic Stem Cells Treated With Growth Factor Reverse Hemophilia In Mice: UNC Researchers

... becoming hepatocytes. After 115 days, nearly four months after injection, mice still produced factor IX without immune suppression. This occurred even in mice that were a complete immunologic tissue mismatch to the PEPs. In addition, the incidence of teratomas was low." The researchers believe this study ...

Columbia study shows widely used artery clearing device does not help patients during heart attack

...t distal protection devices were used. Within six months of the heart attack, patients had a comparable frequency of major adverse cardiac events regardless of whether or not they received the treatment. The study also measured the size of the heart attacks by measuring the uptake of a tracer in the heart...

Asymptomatic HIV babies could use earlier treatment
