A team of researchers from the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and the Institute of Neuroscience at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona has discovered that tetanus toxin, which causes tetanus, could be extremely useful as a therapy against psychological disorders such as depression, anxiety and anorexia, and to slow the progress of neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson'...Tetracycline plus teeth equal gray smile
Many adults over age 35 cover their mouth to avoid smiling in public in order to hide their teeth darkened by tetracycline stains. Typically, invasive as well as costly treatment options, such as veneers, crowns and bonding, served as the only treatment options to help these individuals hide such stains and boost their self-esteem. However, Kim L. Capehart, DDS, MBA, AGD member and clini...Anti-human CD41 Tetramer, 200 uL from StemCell Technologies, Inc.

The drug called tetrathiomolybdate which helps Wilson's disease by controlling copper toxicity may be very useful to treat other diseases say researchers . // Researchers say that when you lower copper, you can inhibit a thing called angiogenesis, which is blood vessel growth. Cancer requires blood vessel growth in order to grow. TM has proven to be effective as an anti-cancer agent an...Tetanus causing toxin has therapeutic properties
Tetanus toxin, that causes the disease tetanus, have therapeutic properties that can be effective// against mental disorders like anxiety disorder, depression and anorexia. Researchers of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona in Spain have discovered the beneficial effects of the tetanus toxin by isolating a harmless part of the toxin called the carboxy-terminal domain. This part of th...Handheld ECG: stethoscope of the future
In hospitals and clinics of the future, small handheld echocardiography machines will be used to quickly screen patients’ hearts for structural abnormalities. The smaller machines can detect heart abnormalities needing further attention, even when used by physicians with just minimal training, says Dr. John Alexander, based on the results of his new study at Duke University.// For year...Ultrasound may mean end to classic stethoscope
Handheld ultrasound is the tool of choice for some doctors who think it's time to replace the stethoscope, which has seen little change since a French physician invented it in the early 1800s. "The stethoscope is based on sound, and the sound qualities //don't always allow you to distinguish between a heart that is beating well, and one that isn't," say some doctors. "Sometimes the hear...Tigecycline – New Generation Tetracycline With Broad Spectrum Antibacterial Activit
Richard Wenzel and his colleagues from United Kingdom have found a new antibiotic tigecycline which belongs to the family of new generation of Tetracycline known as Glycycline. // Due to indiscriminate use of antibiotics there is an increased incidence of antibiotic resistance shown by many organisms. Staphylococcus aureus is a gram positive bacteria, which is a major cause of concern...Optetrak Cruciate Sparing Knee
