It is proved beyond doubt that asthma is affected beneficially by long-term treatment with inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) in childhood//. Although there is a lot of side affects that are associated with it. Which include adrenal suppression and growth deceleration; continue to be of concern to physicians that treat asthmatic children. The main researchers were Kostas N. Pri...Genetic Link to Adrenal Tumor Revealed
Recent research has revealed that a genetic deficiency of an important enzyme can result in a rare tumor of the adrenal glands appears //. The enzyme is one of a class of enzymes involved in halting a cell's response to hormones and appears to stop cells from dividing. The study, published in Nature Genetics, was conducted by researchers in NIH's National Institute of Child Health and...Adrenaline Associated With Adventurers Risk Taking
Andrew Murr and his friend David Thacher had once taken a camping trip to Quinault Rain Forest, which is the wettest forest in the U.S and which may lead to fatal accidents// . It is reported that the night temperatures fell to freezing and the mudslides could even throw their tent over 3 inches of mud. We have heard about Kit DesLauriers skiing down Mount Everest recently and one can'...Stock of Adrenaline Runs Out, in New Zealand Hospitals
New Zealand: A crucial drug, ‘Adrenaline’, known to save the day during life-threatening allergic reactions// and heart attacks, is going out of stock, causing panic amongst medics. Wellington-based Mayne Pharma, New Zealand's sole supplier is facing a problem with its German manufacturers. This has led to the interruption in the supply of this drug to New Zealand. Hospita...Targeting the Adrenal Gland Could Be Key Against Heart Failure
Scientists have staved off heart failure in animals by using gene therapy to shut down the adrenal gland’s excessive// output of fight or flight hormones such as epinephrine and norepinephrine. By blocking GRK2, an important regulatory enzyme, they cut the hormone production that forces the heart to pump too hard, leading to heart failure. Such a novel approach – targeting the adrenal gland in ad...Access Adrenal/Pitutary Cortisol
