Special Imaging Study Shows Failing Hearts Are 'Energy Starved'

Using magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) for the first time to examine energy production biochemistry in a beating human heart, Johns Hopkins researchers have found substantial energy deficits in failing hearts. The findings, published in the January 18 issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, confirm what many scientists have conjectured for years about heart fail...

Team of international scientists departs today to discover the unknown in China's Himalayan region

In the quest to discover new species, a team of international scientists leaves today on a month-long expedition to explore the undiscovered treasures in the Mountains of Southwest China, an extension of the great Himalayan mountain range. "Expedition Everest: Mission Himalayas" is a scientific and cultural journey to explore one of the planet's richest and most biologically diverse regio...

Study charts origins of fear

A team of researchers led by the University of Toronto has charted how and where a painful event becomes permanently etched in the brain - a discovery that has implications for pain-related emotional disorders such as anxiety and post-traumatic stress. U of T physiology professor Min Zhuo and his colleagues Professor Bong-Kiun Kaang of Seoul National University in South Korea, and Profes...

Bone marrow stem cells may heal hearts even years after heart attacks

Left ventricular function and exercise capacity increased, while the area of heart muscle damage shrank, in 18 patients given infusions of their own bone marrow stem cells up to eight years after a heart attack, according to a new study in the Nov. 1, 2005, issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. "This new therapy is able to treat until now irreversible heart complaints...

Nanotechnology may find disease before it starts

Nanotechnology may one day help physicians detect the very earliest stages of serious diseases like cancer, a new study suggests. In laboratory experiments on mice, scientists found that nano-sized particles injected into the animal...

Result of this the body no longer produces insulin and and there is a raise in the blood sugar levels. Individuals with this type I Diabetes develop are at a higher risk to develop heart disease even at their teens. The team of researchers with the University of Southern Califor...

Novel Biological Pacemaker Under Construction for Weak Hearts

Johns Hopkins scientists have developed a natural or rather biological pacemaker by fusing connective tissue cells of guinea pigs with heart muscle cells. The newly developed pacemaker can fire on it’s own and regulate the rhythm // of the heart in a more physiological way. Two sets of tiny electroactive 'pacing cells' (SA node) give rise to the heart’s normal rhythm by stimulating oth...

Heart disease starts early

Risk factors such as insulin resistance and high blood pressure begin as early as age 15, according to a recent study. Researchers measured obesity, insulin resistance, blood pressure and cholesterol levels of 267 boys and girls. Measurements were taken when the young people were 13 and again when they were 15. Obesity levels were measured using a body mass index (BMI) calculation. BMI is...

Heart attack risk starts at 20

According to researchers, doctors should begin evaluating people's risk factors for heart disease, including blood pressure and cholesterol levels, beginning at age 20, the American Heart Association recommended Monday in new guidelines for the prevention of heart attack and stroke.
