Diabetic Women Below 55 are At Higher Risk of Coronary Heart Disease, Study Reveals

Heart disease-related death might have declined among older people, but according to studies death rates in young patients have grown slightly or remained stagnant. To establish what puts young individuals at higher premature coronary heart disease risk, Mayo Clinic and Bringham and Women’s Hospital researchers analyzed over 50 risk factors in over 28,000 women that …

Researchers Establish A Model Of Predicting Brain Damage Following Traumatic Brain Injury

Imperial College of London researchers have demonstrated a link between forces acting on the brain during traumatic injury to the damage witnessed years after the initial trauma. The study findings could be important in predicting the severity of brain injuries, and thus, help in designing effective helmets for different activities and sports. TBI can lead …

New Study Solves Over A Century’s Myth Regarding Glucose Burning By Cancer Cells

German physician Otto Warburg established in 1921 that cancer cells get energy from glucose but in an inefficient way. Instead of burning glucose using oxygen, the cells employ the mechanism of yeast whereby they ferment it. The process occurs very fast but, most of the energy in glucose remains untapped. New study debunks widely held …

New Study Shows Relationship of Eczema And Psoriasis To Developing Skin Cells

Researchers from Kings College London, Wellcome Sanger Institute, and Newcastle University have created a detailed skin map revealing that development cellular processes are re-activated in cells in inflammatory skin patients. The scientists discovered that psoriasis and eczema patients’ skin share the same molecular pathways as developing skin cells. The discovery is a huge milestone that …

New Brain Activity Study Using MRI Reveals Decline In Brain Function During Sleep

While sleeping the consciousness state changes considerably just like during general anesthesia or coma. For quite some time, scientists have always believed that while one is sleeping the brain activity declines, but this could not be substantiated. The study used MRI to study brain activity Notably, most sleep research has focused on using electroencephalography (EEG) …

New Study Finds That Sledding Can Lead To Serious Head Injuries

Although sledding is a common winter activity, it is not a risk-free as most people may think. A recent study by the Centre for Injury Research and Policy researchers at Nationwide Children’s Hospital established that between 2008 and 2017 there were 220,488 individuals in the US treated for sledding-related injuries. Children more likely to get …

High Sugar Intake Damages Waste-Removing Protein Vital In Cellular Repair, Study Finds

A new study in mice has found that a protein that damages toxic cellular waste as a result of high sugar consumption can itself be damaged by a sugary diet. The animal model study by researchers from Tufts University and other institutions shows that the results potentially apply to humans. Sugar affects protein responsible for …
