Embryonic Stem Cells Treated With Growth Factor Reverse Hemophilia In Mice: UNC Researchers
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill researchers have made a discovery that may have implications for the treatment of liver-based genetic defects such as hemophilia A and B in humans. Mouse embryonic stem cells treated in culture with a growth factor and then injected into the liver reverse a form of hemophilia in mice analogous to hemophilia B in humans, the new study shows. A re...Researchers: Treated wood poses long-term threat
Arsenic from treated lumber used in decks, utility poles and fences will likely leach into the environment for decades to come, possibly threatening groundwater, according to two research papers published online Wednesday. Researchers from the University of Miami, the University of Florida and Florida International University examined arsenic leaching from chromated copper arsenate, or CCA...More kidney cancer is detected and treated early, yet death rate rises
The number of cases of kidney cancer has been rising over the last two decades, and new research from the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center shows that this increase is driven largely by the detection of small, presumably curable, kidney masses. But even though the rising incidence has been paralleled by greater use of surgery for kidney cancer, this trend has not led to fewer peo...Older men treated for early prostate cancer live longer than those who are not
Recent findings from an observational study by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine suggest that men between 65 and 80 years of age who received treatment for early stage, localized prostate cancer lived significantly longer than men who did not receive treatment. The study will be published in the December 13th issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association....Anxiety disorders surprisingly common yet often untreated
A new study by researchers led by Kurt Kroenke, M.D., of the Indiana University School of Medicine and the Regenstrief Institute, Inc. reports that nearly 20 percent of patients seen by primary care physicians have at least one anxiety disorder. The study outlines the effectiveness of a new screening tool which can alert busy primary care physicians to those patients with one or more anxiety diso...Corning Petri Dish, 60 X 15 mm, Tc -Treated, Sterile from Sigma-Aldrich

Stiff person syndrome (SPS) causes the muscles in the limbs and body to stiffen up suddenly. Researchers have developed a highly effective treatment for a disorder of the nervous system which can leave people// totally disabled. People with the condition are often too disabled to walk or move, or are afraid to leave the house in case they suffer a spasm and fall. The condition resembl...Acoustic neuroma in older patients to be treated
According to a research, patient's age has to be taken into consideration before deciding to operate on acoustic neuroma. Acoustic neuroma (sometimes known as acoustic swannoma) is a benign tumour affecting the eighth cranial nerve and leading to a sudden loss of hearing and problems with balance.// Standard treatment is removal by surgery - but there's some debate as to whether this is worthwhil...Rectal Cancer treated with radiation
According to new research, radiation alone may be enough to treat some patients with rectal cancer. Researchers from the Centre Antoine-Lacassagne in France studied 60 patients between 1985 and 1999.// Typical treatment for rectal cancer includes surgery, but for some patients surgery is not an option. In this study, all patients had rectal cancer, but were not eligible for surgery to...Benign eye tumors being treated
Researchers at the University of Texas feel that they may have found an effective treatment for a type of non-cancerous eye tumor that threatens clear vision.// Using photodynamic therapy, researchers successfully restored vision in three patients who were suffering from intraocular choroidal hemangiomas, which involved serious retinal detachments. Intraocular choroidal hemangiomas are...Back pain treated with Opioids
Researchers at the University of Dallas have observed that Opioid analgesics should be considered before opting for surgery in severe chronic back pain. The opioid analgesics, such as morphine, fentanyl and oxycodone,// are strong pain-relievers most often used to relieve cancer pain. But a review of the evidence suggests they may also have a role in relieving chronic back pain. Docto...
