A new study conducted by the Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB) stated that genes mutation involved in maintaining the structure of heart muscle can result in a sudden cardiac arrest.

The study revealed that mutation in the gene, Myosin Binding Protein-C (MYBPC3) can result in coronary failures, which resulted in sudden death.

Dr. Lalji Singh, Director of CCMB who conducted the study told that heart attack may be caused due to many reasons, and a few of them are also related to genetic disorders or one’s lifestyle.

British scientists said that bleeding images inside the heart after people suffer a heart attack are useful to figure out what drug treatments are required.

The research done by a team at the Imperial College London appears in the journal ‘Radiology’.

The research shows that the amount of bleeding can point out how damaged a person’s heart is after a coronary failure.

Scientists used a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan to produce images of bleeding inside the heart in 15 patients who had recently suffered a heart attack.

Nepal government is taking all the possible steps to save other regions of Nepal from falling prey to deadly bird flu. Mechinagar has been declared emergency region where birds were found affected with deadly H5N1 virus.

Districts close to the affected areas, including Morang and Chitawan have been issued notices regarding risk of spread of bird flu.

Scientists at Southern General Hospital, Glasgow are developing a new stem cell treatment to repair brain damage in stroke patients. More than 130,000 people suffer a stroke in Britain every year, half of whom die. Physiotherapy (physical therapy) is the only therapy available for the treatment of permanently disabled.

Officials confirmed the presence of deadly H5N1 virus in Sikkim's South district. High Security Diseases Laboratory in Bhopal confirmed the presence of the deadly virus in samples of 30 birds that were sent to it for testing.

Animal husbandry and veterinary services department joint director K C Bhutia said: "We are awaiting the arrival of a Central team following which the culling operations would start in the affected region in which between 5,000 and 8,000 birds will be culled."
