Melbourne's Alfred Hospital has admitted treating dogs and cats in its radiotherapy facilities.

Today marks the start of mental health week and Tasmania's Mental Health Council is calling for State Government funding for more community support services.

Taking care of the health basics - a good physician, exercise, diet, and supplementation - in a steady, reliable way makes a real difference in the long term. It is probably possibly to swing the end of your life twenty

Background:Familial Alzheimer's disease-linked variants of presenilin (PSEN1 and PSEN2) contribute to the pathophysiology of disease by both gain-of-function and loss-of-function mechanisms. Deletions of PSEN1 and PSEN2 in the mouse forebrain result in a strong and progressive neurodegenerative phenotype which is

Background:Since the advent of combination antiretroviral therapy, in developed countries HIV increasingly is perceived as a long-term illness. Individuals may experience health-related consequences of HIV and its associated treatments, a concept that may be termed disability. To date, a comprehensive

Using sequence profile methods and structural comparisons we characterize a previously unknown family of nucleic acid polymerases in a group of mobile elements from genomes of diverse bacteria, an algal plastid and certain DNA viruses, including the recently reported Sputnik

Background:Elucidating the molecular mechanisms by which tumors become resistant to Herceptin is critical for the treatment of Her2-overexpressed metastatic breast cancer. Methods:To further understand Herceptin resistance mechanisms at the molecular level, we used comparative proteome approaches to analyze two human

Background:Primary cutaneous melanoma of the breast is a very rare tumour, accounting for < 5% of all malignant melanomas. Case presentationA young lady was seen in the breast clinic for a skin lesion in the right breast. Clinical examination and

Background:High resistance to drug is taken as a characteristic of human tumors, which is usually mediated by multidrug resistance-associated genes. ABCC2, an ATP-binding cassette multidrug resistance transporter, is found to be expressed in a variety of human cancers. In this

Background:Supertree methods combine phylogenies with overlapping sets of taxa into a larger one. Topological conflicts frequently arise among source trees for methodological or biological reasons, such as long branch attraction, lateral gene transfers, gene duplication/loss or deep gene coalescence. When

Background Angiomyolipomata of the kidney are unusual lesions composed of abnormal vasculature, smooth muscle, and adipose elements. They may be associated with tuberous sclerosis and occasionally present with flank pain, a palpable mass, and gross haematuria. As angiomyolipomata grow their

Background:Eukaryotic promoter prediction using computational analysis techniques is one of the most difficult jobs in computational genomics that is essential for constructing and understanding genetic regulatory networks. The increased availability of sequence data for various eukaryotic organisms in recent years

Background:Part-time working is a growing phenomenon in medicine, which is expected to influence informal networks at work differently compared to full-time working. The opportunity to meet and build up social capital at work has offered a basis for theoretical arguments.

Bilateral sciatic neuropathy is a rare condition and it has been described as a compression or entrapment neuropathy but it is an uncommon clinical manifestation due to necrotizing vasculitis. We report an unusual case of cryoglobulinaemic neuropathy in an elderly

In the first global estimate of the prevalence and incidence of this incurable disease by herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) infection, researchers found that 536 million people aged 15-49 are infected with it, which makes it 16 percent of

Asthma treatments are 40 percent less effective in obese asthmatic patients because obesity limits the pathways by which steroids reduce inflammation in the body, researchers from the National Jewish Health in Denver said.

Consumers International, which publishes Consumer Reports evaluated 27 of the breakfast cereals that are popular among children for not only their sugar content, but also the amount of sodium, fiber, calories, and nutrients in a recommended serving.

The study, which is published online on Saturday by the British journal The Lancet looked at a 30-year period, spanning the last five and the next 25. More than half of Chinese men population smoke and more than 70 percent

The Paul Wellstone and Pete Domenici Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008 will not require health plan providers to give mental health coverage to insured individuals but if they do so, they'll have to shoulder the treatment
