Drug Offers Alternative to Surgical Treatment After Miscarriage
A drug first used to reduce the risk of stomach ulcers in people taking certain types of painkillers offers an alternative to surgery after miscarriage, according to a study by researchers at the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development of the National Institutes of Health and other research institutions. The study appears in the August 18, 2005, New England Journal of Med...Discarded placentas deliver researchers promising cells similar to embryonic stem cells
Routinely discarded as medical waste, placental tissue could feasibly provide an abundant source of cells with the same potential to treat diseases and regenerate tissues as their more controversial counterparts, embryonic stem cells, suggests a University of Pittsburgh study to be published in the journal Stem Cells and available now as an early online publication in Stem Cells Express. A...Depression model leaves mice with molecular scar
In addition to triggering a depression-like social withdrawal syndrome, repeated defeat by dominant animals leaves a mouse with an enduring "molecular scar" in its brain that could help to explain why depression is so difficult to cure, suggest researchers funded by the National Institutes of Health's (NIH) National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). In mice exposed to this animal model o...Healthy coral reefs of Madagascar resisting damage from climate change
Healthy coral reefs of Madagascar's northeast coast have so far resisted the damaging effects of warmer ocean temperatures attributed to global climate change, say scientists who recently studied the region. The survey of a previously unexplored region in March 2006 by scientists from Conservation International and its partners documented a much greater variety of life than expected, inclu...Underweight women at greater risk of miscarriage
Women who have a low body mass index before they become pregnant are 72% more likely to suffer a miscarriage in the first three months of pregnancy, but can reduce their risk significantly by taking supplements and eating fresh fruit and vegetables, according to study findings published online today. These are some of the findings of a new study, which appears today in the online edition o...Mouse Anti-Human SCARB2 Monoclonal Antibody, Unconjugated, Clone 1C8 from Abnova Corporation

Obese women are far more likely to miscarrry after IVF treatment- but losing even a few kilos could make a huge difference, say doctors. They are urging overweight women to change their diets, and take excercise, prior to embarking on fertilty treatments. Obese women have long been known to have problems conceiving naturally, and studies have shown that their overall success rat...Strong pain killers likely to cause miscarriage
An English expert says that certain over-the-counter pain killers should carry warnings that they can increase the risk of miscarriage. The comments follow a study by Danish reseacher Gunnar Lauge Nielsen and colleagues published in this week's British Medical Journal which studied the effect on women of taking strong non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like indomethacin (ibuprofen)....Miscarriage linked to late embryos
The later a fertilised egg implants in a woman's uterus, the more likely she is to have a miscarriage, new research has found.The report in the latest New England Journal of Medicine details the most precise information the timing of implantation - the true start of pregnancy - influences its success or failure. Fertilised eggs can attach themselves to the lining of the womb anywhere f...Hormone Deficiency Results In Miscarriage
A deficiency in a protective hormone may be behind some early miscarriages, preliminary research suggests. The hormone, called corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), is normally released by the mother and the embryo soon after it implants itself in the womb. Without it, the embryo may be left vulnerable to attack from the mother's immune system.// CRH triggers the production of a prote...Vaginosis increases risk of miscarriage
Pregnant women who contract a common bacterial infection of the vagina are more likely to miscarry in the early stages of pregnancy, researchers have found.// Bacterial vaginosis, a form of inflammation of the vagina, is the most common cause of abnormal discharge among women of childbearing age. It affects 24% of pregnant women. The researchers studied 850 women undergoing in vitro fe...OSCAR Ultrasonic Bone Cement Remover
Description:OSCAR ulitizes ultrasonic waves to remove bone cement speedily and efficiently. The oscillating tip of the probe liquifies the cement at the point of contact, allowing it to be removed in minutes. A special feature of the apparatus is its ability to recognize bone on contact and to signal this to the operator instantly. Probe position can thus be changed immediately, avioding da...Haemacure Announces Preliminary Findings of its Plasma Discard Analysis
