Higher risk for cervical cancer seen among women infected with multiple HPV types
Although doctors have known that the cervical tissue at the opening to the womb can harbor multiple HPV types, this study is the first to document that the risk for developing cervical cancer, the second most common form of cancer in women worldwide, is higher in females infected with multiple HPV types than those infected with just one HPV type. In addition, the study's findings provide...Tiny roundworm's telomeres help scientists to tease apart different types of aging
The continual and inevitable shortening of telomeres, the protective "caps" at the end of all 46 human chromosomes, has been linked to aging and physical decline. Once they are gone, so are we. But there are more ways than one to grow old. Researchers at Salk Institute for Biological Studies demonstrate for the first time that the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans succumbs to the trials of...The first laugh: New study posits evolutionary origins of two distinct types of laughter
In an important new study from the forthcoming Quarterly Review of Biology, biologists from Binghamton University explore the evolution of two distinct types of laughter ?laughter which is stimulus-driven and laughter which is self-generated and strategic. "Laughter that occurs during everyday social interaction in response to banal comments and humorless conversation is now being studied...Scientists discover new genetic subtypes of common blood cancer
Scientists at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and collaborators have identified four distinct genetic subtypes of multiple myeloma, a deadly blood cancer, that have different prognoses and might be treated most effectively with drugs specifically targeted to those subtypes. A new computational tool based on an algorithm designed to recognize human faces plucked the four distinguishing gene pa...Internal body clock dictates timing of different types of stroke
The internal body clock, or circadian rhythm, seems to influence the timing of different types of stroke, suggests research published ahead of print in the Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery and Psychiatry.

Skin cancer usually is so easily cured that Luvie Owens almost forgot she had it.But results of a major new study are giving her cause for concern: Women who have had the most common forms of skin cancer// are 2.3 times as likely to also get deadlier cancers such as breast, lung and colon. Among African-American women, the risk of getting other cancers is 7.5 times higher. The study di...Sunlight Could Be Beneficial For Certain Types Of Cancer
Exposure to the sun can cause skin cancer – melanoma ,however researchers as the number of patients with skin cancer has increased, so has the number of patients surviving the disease. // Two new studies show sun exposure may have a beneficial influence on some kinds of cancer. In a study conducted by researchers on patients who were diagnosed with melanoma in the late 1980s it was discov...Different Types Of Multiple Sclerosis May Be Treated Differently
Researchers from the Mayo Clinic had demonstrated that there are differences in pathological subtypes of multiple sclerosis that may react differently to treatment. Only those multiple sclerosis (MS) patients with evidence for antibody deposition or complement activation // -- immune cells that can cause tissue destruction -- in their lesions are likely to respond to plasma exchange, a tr...Implants In The Ear Is Effective Against All Types Of Hearing Loss
Investigators from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine had said that implants inside the ear that are implanted to help the hearing impaired people can be equally effective for all, irrespective of the degree of hearing loss suffered by the individual. // There is growing evidence that the amount of hearing in an ear prior to surgery is unrelated to a patient’s ability to inte...Systemic Corticosteroid Therapy can be used for treating all types of Infectious Mononucleosis
Scott Thompson and colleagues from University of Rochester Medical Center, has found from review of records of patients treated with corticosteroids that Corticosteroids is the most effective and useful treatment// option for Infectious mononucleosis, including severe airway compromise mononucleosis.
