1. High blood pressure or irregular heartbeat linked to Alzheimer's disease progression
   11-05-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Alzheimer's disease may progress more rapidly in people with high blood pressure or a form of irregular heartbeat, atrial fibrillation, according to results of a Johns Hopkins study published in the Nov. 6, 2007, issue of Neurology. The findings suggest that treating these conditions may also slow memory loss in people with AD.

2. Use of diabetes medication by older adults linked with increased risk of heart problems, death
   12-11-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Older patients treated with the diabetes medications known as thiazolidinediones (which include rosiglitazone) had a significantly increased risk of heart attack, congestive heart failure and death, compared with the use of other hypoglycemic drugs, according to a study in the Dec. 12 issue of JAMA. The authors suggest that these results provide further evidence that this class of medication may cause more harm than good.

   01-24-2008 · EurekAlert!
   Mesenchymal stem cells are capable of giving rise to various cell types through a process known as differentiation. A new study has determined that the anti-tumor drug bortezomib targets MSCs and leads to bone cell-specific differentiation. These data led the authors to suggest that Bzb might be a novel therapy for bone loss in individuals with osteoporosis and those with cancers accompanied by severe bone disease, such as myeloma.

5. First-ever study: lack of critical lubricant causes wear in joints
   11-06-2007 · EurekAlert!
   For the first time, researchers have linked increased friction with early wear in the joints of animals. Work led by Brown University physician and engineer Gregory Jay, MD, shows mice that do not produce the protein lubricin begin to show wear in their joints less than two weeks after birth. This finding not only points up the protective power of lubricin but also suggests that it could be used to prevent joint wear after an injury.

   In a new study in animals, University of Michigan researchers report that a combination of high doses of vitamins A, C, and E and magnesium, taken one hour before noise exposure and continued as a once-daily treatment for five days, was very effective at preventing permanent noise-induced hearing loss. The animals had prolonged exposure to sounds as loud as a jet engine at take-off at close range.

8. HIV exploits competition among T-cells
   10-16-2006 · EurekAlert!
   New HIV research shows how competition among the human immune system's T cells allows the virus to escape destruction and eventually develop into full-blown AIDS. The study, slated to appear in Physical Review Letters, employs a computer model of simultaneous virus and immune system evolution. It also suggests a new strategy for vaccinating against the virus -- a strategy that the computer simulations suggest may prevent the final onset of AIDS.

9. New study suggests link between environmental toxins and early onset puberty in girls
   02-06-2008 · EurekAlert!
   Certain environmental toxins, such as the mycoestrogen zearalenone produced by the Fusarium fungus species, can be found naturally in the environment, have properties similar to the female reproductive hormone estrogen, and are also structurally similar to anabolic growth agents used in animal breeding. A new study scheduled for publication in The Journal of Pediatrics suggests that certain mycoestrogens may be directly linked to the early onset of sexual development in young girls.
