Headed by Dr. Shirley E. Poduslo, neuroscientist in the Medical College of Georgia Schools of Medicine and Graduate Studies and the Charlie Norwood Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Augusta pointed out that genetic variations called single nucleotide polymorphisms, or SNPs,

This nerve block, named "stellate" ganglion block, given in the neck of breast cancer survivors may reduce hot flashes and sleep dysfunctions that plague breast cancer survivors, especially those who take anti-estrogen medications. This will outdo conventional treatments, which are

Dehydration has been linked to stone disease, mainly in warmer climates, and global warming will worsen this effect, according to the researchers. As a result, the prevalence of stone disease may increase, along with the costs of treating the condition.

For the study, the researchers explored the relationship between low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and PSA prior to beginning statin therapy. Data collected from a study of 1,214 men prescribed cholesterol-lowering drugs (statins) between 1990 and 2006 at the Durham Veteran

However, they are still clueless about why this happens. That's what was told to The Scientific Congress of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (RACS) where Professor Roy Kimble, director of the Burns and Trauma Unit at the Royal Children's

Researchers from Germany found that nanoparticles consisting of metallic iron with a protective carbon coat could be potential hyperthermia agents. In animal models, using heat to selectively kill tumor cells has proven efficient. Using metallic iron in the nanoparticles (in

Morbid obesity can cause sexual dysfunction independent of other common confounders, including diabetes, hypertension and smoking. In this study from researchers in Boston and Philadelphia, sexual function was normalized in some men who underwent gastric bypass surgery for weight loss.

The research was led by QBI Director Professor Perry Bartlett, who said that the discovery has, for the first time, explained how new nerve cells form in an area of the brain associated with learning and memory, called hippocampus, which

A microwave oven uses an electronic device, the magnetron, to convert electrical energy into high-speed waves. These are deflected off the oven's metal walls directly into food to a depth of about 4 cm. These microwaves are then absorbed by
