Alzheimer’s Treatment Passes One More Important Test

PRI-002 (the Alzheimer drug candidate) has productively finished Phase I of clinical study comprising healthy volunteers. When administered every day over a course of 4 Weeks, the active material established to be secure for employment in humans. The upcoming milestone will be the evidence of efficacy in people particles in clinical Phase II. “In last…

Study Finds Older Fathers To Put Health Of Spouses, Unborn Kids At Risk

Males who wait to begin a family have a ticking “biological clock”—similar to females—that might impact the health of their kids and partners, as per Rutgers scientists. The research assessed 40 Years of study on the impact of parental age on pregnancy, fertility, and the kid’s health. Though the medical profession has no plainly established…

Huntington Drug Successfully Reduces Amounts Of Disease-Causing Protein

A global clinical test has discovered that a new drug for Huntington disease is harmless, and that therapy with the drug productively reduces amounts of the irregular protein that leads to the debilitating illness in patients. In a research posted in the New England Journal of Medicine, scientists from UBC and their associates for the…

Externally Prescribed Medicine Costing Can Save Medicare Billions

A new research by Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health’s scientists discovered that costs for brand-name prescription medicines averaged 3.2–4.1 times more in the U.S. when evaluated with costs in the U.K., the Canadian state of Ontario, and Japan. The research also discovered that the longer the specific prescription medicine was in the market,…

Lung Transplant Patients’ Life Span Can Be Improved Using A Pill

According to a new study, a novel treatment for an ischemia-reperfusion injury, an injury generally occurs in the patients suffering from lung transplantation, has been discovered by the researchers at the University of Virginia. The clinical trial for this research, funded by NIH, was performed at TCV lab under the supervision of Dr. Irving Kron,…

Needleless Vaccine To Secure Kids From Hazardous Viruses

According to a new study, the orally administered vaccine could protect millions from hepatitis B. The oral vaccines are less expensive and safer than injections. Therefore, scientists are continuously pursuing methods to create an oral vaccine that is adequately effective. Now, physicists from the UCPH (University of Copenhagen) have delivered virologists a “formula” for advancing…

Fitness May Impact Risk Of Colorectal, Lung Cancer And Survival After It

In a new study, adults who were most fit had less jeopardy of developing colorectal and lung cancer. Also, amongst individuals who advanced colorectal or lung cancer, those who had higher fitness levels prior to their cancer diagnosis were less possible to die in comparison with those individuals who had lower fitness levels. The study…

New Anti-Cancer Drugs Target Mitochondrial Enzyme For Blood Cancer Therapy

Researchers at MD Anderson Cancer Center, the University of Texas, have discovered the mode of action of new anti-cancer drugs called imipridones in treating blood cancers, such as mantle cell lymphoma and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The study majorly focused on caseinolytic protease P (ClpP) in mitochondria. The activation of ClpP stimulates the process of…

Research Says, Walnuts Assist To Lower Blood Pressure In At-Risk CVD People

When supported with a low saturated fats diet, the walnuts consumption may assist in lowering blood pressure in individuals at risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD), as per to a novel Penn State research. In a randomized, controlled test, scientists studied the outcomes of replacing a few of the saturated fats in the participants’ diet that…

Study Shows Artificial Neural Systems Can Be Used To Impel Brain Activity

Neuroscientists at MIT have conducted the most rigorous testing of a computational model that mimics visual cortex of the brain. By using their present best prototype of the brain’s visual neural system, the scientists designed an innovative way to exactly control individual neurons and populaces of neurons between those networks. In an animal study, the…

Children, Teens Who Drink Low-Calorie Sweetened Drinks Do Not Cut Calories

The U.S. teens and children who intake zero-calorie or low-calorie sweetened beverages absorbed about 200 additional calories on a given day in comparison to those who drank water, and they absorbed the same number of calories as adults who consumed sugary drinks, according to a study.
