The ability to sweat may cut the risk of developing exercise-related asthma, say scientists.

Abstract Hypertension is a prevalent condition in the developed world and disease severity is directly correlated with additional cardiovascular complications.

The policy will include mechanisms to ensure that the education system can deal with the disease, and Nahum Jn Baptiste, head of St.

Researchers have investigated how proteins involved in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease interact to form unique complexes. Their findings explain why Alzheimer's patients might develop Parkinson's, and vice versa. The new and unique molecular structures they discovered can now be used to model and develop new drugs for these devastating neurological diseases.

Queen's researchers develop a new method of diagnosing bowel cancer using 'light'.

The first INCF Congress of Neuroinformatics will convene September 7-9 at the Stockholm City Conference Center in Stockholm. The emerging neuroinformatics field combines neuroscience and informatics research to develop advanced tools and approaches to understanding the structure and function of the brain. The tools may also be applied to brain disorders and diseases.

Researchers are describing progress toward developing a new generation of chemotherapy agents that target and block uncontrolled DNA replication - a hallmark of cancer, viral infections, and other diseases - more effectively than current drugs in ways that may produce fewer side effects. Their article is scheduled for the Aug. 27 issue of ACS' Biochemistry, a weekly journal. In the article, Anthony J.

(Samuel Lunenfeld Research Institute) In a study published by the Lancet journal today, Toronto researcher Dr. Daniel Drucker reported that a new once-weekly treatment for type 2 diabetes could replace the more common twice-daily injection.

Nearly 47.5 million Americans currently smoke, and the habit is one that increases the risk and progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Patients with CKD also develop cardiovascular issues as the disease worsens, and researchers are calling for more studies that will help reduce cardiovascular mortality in this patient group. Smoking cessation may decrease cardiovascular disease as well as slow the progression of CKD.

(Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne) Researchers in Switzerland have developed a new method to fabricate borosilicate glass nanoparticles. Used in microfluidic systems, these 'Pyrex'-like nanoparticles are more stable when subjected to temperature fluctuations and harsh chemical environments than currently used nanoparticles made of polymers or silica glass. Their introduction could extend the range of potential nanoparticle applications in biomedical, optical and electronic fields.
