A team of Investigators from the NYU Langone Medical Center stated that their study findings indicate that individuals having a family history of Alzheimer’s disease mostly possess clump-like formations of toxic-natured protein accruement in their brains even despite being in normal health. Study investigators stated that their findings could pave way to novel means of identifying individuals at risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease early on when some steps could be taken towards tackling it. Researchers are hopeful that this study outcome could imminently be of great help in lucidly diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease prior to the condition turning symptomatic and when the brain is still in good health and therapies could have the most optimal outcomes. The group of scientists are intent on continually following the entrants of this latest study for observing if they would be developing dementia and would like to duplicate the outcomes in a more large-scaled trial.

Researchers from McGill Univ. Health Center and NIH have collaborated together in a study, the findings of which could shortly pave the way to development of the drug arsenal employed for HIV AIDS treatment. The VGTI and Université de Montréal study typifies the key function of duo molecules, namely, IL-10 and PD-1, in manoeuvring the task of CD4/T-helper cells and modifying their capability in combating HIV. Researchers explained how their findings reveal that up-regulation of PD-1 membrane protein occurs all through the HIV infection by discharge of bacterial produce from the stomach which consequently raises the manufacture of IL-10 (cell-derived factor) that cripples the immune system. The scientists believe they are the pioneers in showing that these duo molecules functions in tandem for shutting down the operation of CD4 T-cells among HIV infected people which in turn could bring out breakdown of the immune system and hastened ailment advancement. Scientists pointed out that  [...]

A latest study outcome indicates that sTMS could provide relief from migraine headache among those suffering from migraine with aura. A convenient contrivance which employs magnetic pulses for zapping pain holds immense potential as a new-fangled treatment for those ailing from a prevalent form of migraine.

Greenland’s residents, the Inuits have been atypically known to develop cardiovascular ailments despite consumption of high-fatty dietetic intake comprising of meats from seals and whale blubbers.

Unearthing this piece of information lead to a steady influx of studies suggesting that oily fish and fish oil capsules consumption could safeguard the cardiovascular system. Mackerels, sardine and salmons have such essential fats that the body is incapable of producing on its own. The duo essential fats are eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Investigators are still in the process of analysing all their diverse outcomes. However, these essential fats have been known to decrease fatty substances in the blood stream known as triglycerides and function as a mild blood thinning agent. By the process  [...]

Further research showed that colloidal silver was an able broad-spectrum anti-microbial and effectively obliterated infections like typhoid, staph, strep, conjunctivitis, urinary tract and wound infections, anthrax among several others. It has the reputation to be helpful in a number of ailments like malaria, cancer, AIDS, athlete’s foot, herpes, prostatis and shingles. Due to its germ-obliterating properties it is at times employed in bandaging for preventing infections and it has additionally been  [...]

A new-fangled chemotherapy drug, cabazitaxel by Sanofi-Aventis, shows potential in improving life expectancy among men having advanced prostate cancer, as a final recourse in a clinical study. Men, in whom cancer had metastasized beyond the prostate gland, generally undergo treatment with medications intended on reducing testosterone being produced in the body, a hormone which believed to be feeding cancer spread. However, when such treatment is unsuccessful, then the sole accepted choice presently is Taxotere, a chemotherapy drug that has frequently been observed to not succeed. Cabazitaxel was tested during a large-scaled study involving 755 males from twenty-six countries having cancer in a continual state of progression in spite of being administered Taxotere. In that study, half of those men who were administered cabazitaxel (intravenous administration in three weekly interval) survived a median of over fifteen months in comparison to the around thirteen months in those males who  [...]
