  • Colon Cancer Incidence, Survival and Mortality Outcomes Over 25 Years.
    3/11/2010
    Colorectal cancer, also called colon cancer or large bowel cancer or rectal cancer, includes cancerous growths in the colon, rectum and appendix. This study evaluated incidence rate, presentation, treatment and outcome of colon cancer over a 25 year period.
     
  • St. John's Wort Benficail in Caesarean Wound Healing.
    3/10/2010
    St. John's wort (H. perforatum) has gained a great deal of attention for its use in minor depression. Caesarean section, also known as C-section, is a surgical procedure in which incisions are made through a mother's abdomen and uterus to deliver one or more babies. The aim of this randomized, double-blind clinical trial study was to determine how effective St. John’s wort would be on cesarean wound healing and reduction of scarring and itchy skin.
     
  • Low Levels of Vitamin D Linked to Relapse Attacks in Multiple Sclerosis.
    3/9/2010
    Although MS was first described over 130 years ago, the exact cause(s) still remain a mystery, and there is no known cure. There is an interesting apparent relationship between low levels of vitamin D, a weakened immune system, and increased incidence of multiple sclerosis. Researchers from the University of California, San Francisco and SUNY Stony Brook Pediatric Multiple Sclerosis Center sought to determine if vitamin levels are associated with subsequent clinical relapses in pediatric-onset multiple sclerosis.
     
  • Patients with Type 2 Diabetes on a Low Carbohydrate Mediterranean Diet.
    3/8/2010
    Diabetes mellitus is a chronic condition in which the body does not produce or does not use insulin effectively. The Mediterranean diet is based upon the traditional dietary patterns of the countries of the Mediterranean Basin. A study published in the journal Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism compared the effectiveness of three popular diets in reducing cardiovascular risks in overweight people with type 2 diabetes.
     
  • Reduced Levels of Omega-3 Linked to Shorter Length of Telomeres in Coronary Heart Disease.
    3/5/2010
    A telomere is a region of repetitive DNA at the end of a chromosome, which protects the end of the chromosome from deterioration. Fish oil contains both eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Coronary heart disease refers to the failure of coronary circulation to supply adequate circulation to cardiac muscle and surrounding tissue. Research was carried out to look for a potential link between levels of omega-3 oils obtained from fish in the blood of patients with coronary heart disease and the length of their telomeres.
