London, Mar 20 : Researchers at Stanford University School of Medicine have found that for the treatment of patients suffering from multi-vessel coronary artery disease, who have diabetes, and for patients older than 65, heart bypass surgery is a better option than angioplasty.
Washington, Mar 20 : A novel device implanted inside the spinal cord might offer an effective treatment against Parkinson’s disease, according to a study.
Researchers at Duke University Medical Centre have developed a prosthetic device, which applies electrical stimulation to the dorsal column in the spinal cord, the main sensory pathway carrying tactile information from the body to the brain.
Washington, Mar 20 : A team of American researchers has identified a gene that plays a critical regulatory role in the process of converting dietary carbohydrates to fat.
In a new study, researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, disabled this gene in mice, which consequently had lower levels of body fat than their normal counterparts, despite being fed the equivalent of an all-you-can-eat pasta buffet.
Washington, Mar 20 : A new study from University of Cambridge has provided new evidence that the human brain lives "on the edge of chaos", at a critical transition point between randomness and order.
The researchers claim to have identified a mechanism called self-organized criticality, where systems spontaneously organize themselves to operate at a critical point between order and randomness.
This phenomenon might occur from complex interactions in many different physical systems, including avalanches, forest fires, earthquakes, and heartbeat rhythms.
Washington, Mar 20 : Low-to-moderate drinking and socialization is beneficial for cardiovascular heath, according to a new study.
A Japanese examination of the effects of social support on the relationship between drinking and cardiovascular disease has found that the health benefits of light-to-moderate drinking are more pronounced in men with greater social support.
Washington, Mar 20 : A new study has shown that low and moderate but not high doses of alcohol trigger `feel good' brain chemicals called beta-endorphins.
Beta-endorphin release produces a general feeling of well-being that reinforces the desire to drink.
