Regulation Of Red Blood Cell Size And Number By Newly Identified Protein
Aug 30, 2012
The adult human circulatory system contains between 20 and 30 trillion red blood cells (RBCs), the precise size and number of which can vary from person to person. Some people may have fewer, but larger RBCs, while others may have a larger number of smaller RBCs... Read More
Outcome After PCI Improved By Personalized Antiplatelet Treatment
Aug 30, 2012
The findings were presented by Dr Jolanta Siller-Matula from Medical University of Vienna. Standard antiplatelet treatment in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) consists of a dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and an ADP receptor inhibitor such as clopidogrel...

Aspirin May Prolong Prostate Cancer Survival
Aug 30, 2012
Taking a regular dose of aspirin may help men treated for prostate cancer, either with surgery or radiation, live longer, especially if they have the high risk form of the disease. This was the finding of a new study published this week in the Journal of Clinical Oncology... Read More

Preventing Thrombotic And Thromboembolic Complications By Omitting Aspirin From Antiplatelet Regimen
Aug 30, 2012
Lifelong anticoagulation is necessary for the prevention of stroke in patients with rhythm disturbances and with mechanical valves. Patients who have a coronary stent implanted also need the antiplatelet drugs aspirin and clopidogrel to prevent the rare but lethal complication of stent thrombosis... Read More

New Ultraviolet Light Can Pinpoint Location Of Diseases
Aug 29, 2012
A new study published in the Online Early Edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reveals that Johns Hopkins researchers have developed a synthetic protein, which, when activated under ultraviolet lighting, can show doctors exactly where certain medical disorders are located, such as arthritis and cancer...

Tumor Formation Blocked By Turning On Key Enzyme
Aug 29, 2012
Drug-like molecule restores normal cell metabolism, preventing cancer cells from growing. Unlike ordinary cells, cancer cells devote most of their energy to reproducing themselves. To do this, they must trigger alternative metabolic pathways that produce new cellular building blocks, such as DNA, carbohydrates and lipids... Read More
Peritoneal Carcinomatosis Treatment Improved, Without Side-Effects, By PH-Sensitive Liposomal Cisplatin
Aug 29, 2012
Scientists at the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation and Federal University of Minas Gerais, led by Dr. Andrea Teixeira-Carvalho and Dr. Monica Cristina de Oliveira, have developed and characterized a circulating and pH-sensitive liposome containing cisplatin (SpHL-CDDP) aiming to promote the release of cisplatin near the tumor as well as decreasing toxicity...
