DVT And PE In Joint Replacement Patients May Be Prevented By Aspirin
Feb 09, 2012
Following a total joint replacement, anticoagulation (blood thinning) drugs can prevent Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot deep within the extremities, or a pulmonary embolism (PE), a complication that causes a blood clot to move to the lungs. However, prolonged use of these therapies may increase the risk of hemorrhage and infection... Read More
Short Fasting Cycles Weaken Cancer In Mice; Can Work As Well As Chemotherapy, And The 2 Combined Greatly Improve Survival
Feb 09, 2012
Man may not live by bread alone, but cancer in animals appears less resilient, judging by a study that found chemotherapy drugs work better when combined with cycles of short, severe fasting. Even fasting on its own effectively treated a majority of cancers tested in animals, including cancers from human cells... Read More
Ovarian Cancer Risk Related To Inherited Inflammation Genes
Feb 09, 2012
In a study conducted by researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center and colleagues from 11 other institutions in the Unites States and the United Kingdom, genes that are known to be involved in inflammation were found to be related to risk of ovarian cancer. Their study appeared in a recent issue of Cancer Research, published by the American Association for Cancer Research... Read More

Soy Isoflavone Supplementation Not Effective In Breast Cancer Protection
Feb 08, 2012
A study published in Cancer Prevention Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research, reveals that breast cancer cell proliferation was not lowered with soy isoflavone supplements in a randomized human trial. Isoflavone are components of soy foods believed to have anti-estrogen activity... Read More
For Personalizing Cancer Therapy, Metabolic Profiles Are Essential
Feb 08, 2012
One way to tackle a tumor is to take aim at the metabolic reactions that fuel their growth. But a report in the February Cell Metabolism, a Cell Press Publication, shows that one metabolism-targeted cancer therapy will not fit all. That means that metabolic profiling will be essential for defining each cancer and choosing the best treatment accordingly, the researchers say... Read More
Early Signs Of Disease Detected By Metabolic 'Breathalyzer'
Feb 08, 2012
The future of disease diagnosis may lie in a "breathalyzer"-like technology currently under development at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. New research published online in February in the peer-reviewed journal Metabolism demonstrates a simple but sensitive method that can distinguish normal and disease-state glucose metabolism by a quick assay of blood or exhaled air...
