| New limb-lengthening technique is less cumbersome for patients Posted: 17 Jul 2015 09:04 AM PDT A highly specialized procedure that lengthens bones can prevent the need for amputations in selected patients who have suffered severe fractures. And now a new study has found that an alternative limb-lengthening technique makes the long recovery process less cumbersome -- while still providing good-to-excellent outcomes. |
| Coaches can be a strong influence in preventing football injuries, say researchers Posted: 17 Jul 2015 07:49 AM PDT Teaching coaches about injury prevention and contact restrictions pays off, say researchers who tracked injury rates among youth football players during the 2014 season. |
| Personalized care for aortic aneurysms, based on gene testing, has arrived Posted: 16 Jul 2015 01:06 PM PDT Researchers have tested the genomes of more than 100 patients with thoracic aortic aneurysms, a potentially lethal condition, and provided genetically personalized care. Their work will also lead to the development of a 'dictionary' of genes specific to the disease, according to researchers. |
| Women and fragrances: Scents and sensitivity Posted: 16 Jul 2015 01:06 PM PDT Researchers have sniffed out an unspoken rule among women when it comes to fragrances: women don't buy perfume for other women, and they certainly don't share them. |
| Resveratrol, quercetin could provide new options for cancer therapy Posted: 16 Jul 2015 01:06 PM PDT Resveratrol and quercetin, two polyphenols that have been widely studied for their health properties, may soon become the basis of an important new advance in cancer treatment, primarily by improving the efficacy and potential use of an existing chemotherapeutic cancer drug. For the first time a system has been developed that could dramatically increase the levels of these compounds in the body. |
| Child paralysis outbreak: Different virus may be cause Posted: 16 Jul 2015 11:15 AM PDT A mysterious outbreak of child paralysis cases previously linked to enterovirus D68 may instead have another cause, doctors are cautioning after determining that a stricken child appeared to be suffering from a different virus. |
| Virtual research studies feasible, experts say Posted: 16 Jul 2015 10:52 AM PDT A new pilot study in Parkinson's disease suggests a new era of clinical research which removes the barrier of distance for both scientists and volunteers. The research could also enable researchers to leverage the rapid growth in personal genetic testing to better diagnose, and potentially treat, a wide range of diseases. |
