Washington, Mar 18 : Calculating the benefits of HPV (human papilloma virus)-vaccination, Norwegian scientists have found that it may even reduce the number of pre-term births.
Chronic HPV -infections can lead to cellular changes in the cervix that can be a pre-stage to cervical cancer.
Surgical treatment of these pre-stages gives an increased risk of pre-term birth in subsequent pregnancies.
And as the HPV-vaccine can prevent pre-stages of cervical, it can even prevent pre-term births.
London, Mar 18 : While it is said that being severely overweight reduces life expectancy, a new study has found that even mild obesity can take years off one's life.
The study has found that if a person is moderately overweight, he/she will probably live two to four years less than if they stick to their ideal weight.
A research team, led by Richard Peto and Gary Whitlock of the Clinical Trial Service Unit at the University of Oxford, pulled together data from 57 studies.
Washington, Mar 18: A new study by researchers at the University of Warwick has shown that there is no clear link between lack of vitamin D and depression.
Lack of Vitamin D has been related to depression and the symptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).
Exposure to sunlight stimulates vitamin D in the skin and a shortage of sunlight in the winter has been put forward as one possible cause of SAD.
Washington, March 18 : Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine say that a potential cure for Alzheimer''s disease may require a combination therapy, which will target the malformations of the proteins that characterise this condition.
Alzheimer''s disease is characterized by two distinctive protein malformations: amyloid plaques, which are sticky deposits made up of a short protein called amyloid beta, and tau tangles, which are made of short filaments of the tau protein.
Washington, Mar 17 : Researchers have developed a new technique in which DNA patches are used to treat dogs with the canine version of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a paralysing and often fatal disease of muscles.
Called "exon skipping", the technique uses tailor-made snippets of DNA-like molecules as molecular "patches", which cover up mutant DNA sequences that code for making an important muscle protein.
Washington, Mar 17 (ANI): Risk factors including age, gender, diabetes, blood pressure, cholesterol levels, smoking and risk of gastrointestinal bleeding, should be taken into account before patients go for aspirin to prevent heart attacks or strokes, according to new recommendations from the U. S. Preventive Services Task Force.
The organisation has updated its 2002 recommendation about using aspirin to prevent heart attacks or strokes.
