New treatment may help cutting crucial heart scaring

heart-scaring.gifUS researchers say that their tests on mice may help to develop a new drug to cut permanent heart scars that occur due to heart attacks.

In their study, the researchers blocked a particular protein in mice that proved quite sufficient to cut their possible heart damage caused by a heart attack.

The Study, published in the latest issue of the journal Nature Cell Biology, can also prove helpful to employ other treatments like stem cells for a better heart function.

When there isn’t sufficient amount of oxygen in the heart during a cardiac arrest, it becomes the cause of a series of damaging events in the heart.

This injury becomes the cause of inflammation in the heart that may permanently disturb its capability to pump blood in a proper way.

Fatty Acid (found in Olive oil) can ward off hunger pangs, a new study suggests

A new study suggests that a fatty acid and other heart healthy monounsaturated fats found in olive oil can ward off hunger pangs.

According to the researcher, their findings may lead to the development of some new medicines to limit or enhance hunger.

Professor Daniele Piomelli from the University of California, Irvine, and his team injected the fat (named oleic acid) in to intestines of lab rodents and noted that the fat turned into a fat messenger known as oleoylethanolamide (OEA). …Click here to read more

British stem cell scientists develop a more accurate way to spot aggressive forms of bowel cancer

A new more accurate way to spot severe forms of bowel cancer has been developed by the stem cell scientists. It allows for a tailored treatment that may improve patients’ chances to survive.

According to British researchers, patients with some severe kind of bowel cancer may be spotted early after testing for a stem cell indicatory protein known as Lamin A.

The researchers suggested that patients with positive Lamin A must be given chemotherapy aside from the operation as it increases their odds to survive. …Click here to read more

Although Big Breakfast Help Women in Weight Loss Yet Return To Obesity

heavy-bf.jpgThe scientists from Venezuela and the United States of America have found an amazing factor that big breakfast including carbohydrates and protein and then containing low carbohydrate and little calorie diet for the rest of the day tended to be more and more successful remedial measure in losing fats and keeping healthy and smart. This plan is being designed for the domestic and job holder women.

This study was presented at The Endocrine Society’s 90th Annual Meeting in San Francisco on Tuesday 17th June, by the guide writer Dr Daniela Jakubowicz of the Hospital de Clinicas, Caracas, Venezuela.

Jakubowicz, who conducted study along with the scientists of the United States from Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, elucidated that the most of the weight loss studies have shown us that a very lesser amount of carbohydrate diet is not a good method in reducing the high fats.
