Who is the arch-criminal in the development of hepatopulmonary syndrome?

12-19-2007 · EurekAlert!

Employing a rat model, Dr. Hui-ying Zhang et al. found that dynamic alterations of plasma endotoxin were closely associated with eNOS, iNOS, HO-1, number of capillaries and histological changes, and that exhibition of pulmonary vascular abnormalities is not only in vascular dilatation but in increased number, and that HO-1/CO and NOS/NO pathways may interrelate in pathogenesis of intra-pulmonary vascular abnormalities. All the above proved intestinal endotoxemia plays a leading role in the development of HPS.

Gene found for rare disorder may reveal new pathway in mental retardation
02-05-2007 · EurekAlert!
Studying mutations that give rise to a rare genetic disease, genetics researchers have identified a novel biological pathway that may have a broader role during human development, potentially in cases of mental retardation and autism. An international team of researchers identified two genes that contribute to Cornelia deLange syndrome, a multisystem genetic disease that affects an estimated one in 10,000 children.

Metabolic syndrome heightens risk for development of uric-acid kidney stones
09-13-2007 · EurekAlert!
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found that patients suffering from the metabolic syndrome -- a cluster of conditions that increases the risk for heart disease, stroke and diabetes -- also have a propensity to develop highly acidic urine, which increases the risk of developing kidney stones.

New study finds infant hearing test results may predict sudden infant death syndrome
07-26-2007 · EurekAlert!
One of the greatest medical mysteries of our time has taken a leap forward in medical understanding with new study results announced by Dr. Daniel D. Rubens of Seattle Children's Hospital. Rubens' study published in Early Human Development found all babies in a study group who died of SIDS universally shared the same distinctive difference in their newborn hearing test results for the right inner ear, when compared to infants who did not have SIDS.

Growth hormone is not the anti-aging bullet for healthy adults
01-15-2007 · EurekAlert!
A review of published data on use of human growth hormone by healthy elderly people found that the synthetic hormone was associated with small changes in body composition but not in body weight or other clinically important outcomes. Further, people who took GH had increased rates of unhealthy side effects such as soft tissue swelling, joint pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, and, in men, abnormal breast development and were also somewhat more likely to develop diabetes.

Stress, childhood trauma linked to chronic fatigue syndrome in adults
11-06-2006 · EurekAlert!
Traumatic events in childhood and stress or emotional instability at any period in life may be associated with the development of chronic fatigue syndrome, according to two articles in the November issue of Archives of General Psychiatry, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. The findings suggest that CFS and similar illnesses may result from the brain's inability to cope with challenging experiences.

Trainor Lab prevents rare birth defect by inactivating p53 gene
02-04-2008 · EurekAlert!
Using a mouse model of Treacher Collins syndrome, the Stowers Institute's Trainor Lab has demonstrated that it can prevent this rare disorder of craniofacial development either by inactivating a gene implicated in the abnormality or by inhibiting its protein product.

Metabolic syndrome heightens risk for development of uric-acid kidney stones
09-13-2007 · UT Southwestern Medical Center
A few properly placed drops of lissamine green can reveal staining patterns that are key to diagnosing dry eye syndrome earlier than other methods, providing doctors more options for treating the potentially sight-stealing disease, new research at UT Southwestern Medical Center confirms.

Scientists identify fundamental brain defect, probable drug target in fragile X syndrome
09-17-2007 · EurekAlert!
Scientists have discovered how the gene mutation responsible for fragile X syndrome -- the most common inherited form of mental retardation -- alters the way brain cells communicate. In neurons cultured from laboratory rats, the scientists also were able to reverse the effects of the mutation using a drug targeted to the specific site in an upstream pathway of the defect. The finding could lead to the development of human therapies for this previously untreatable condition.

Choline shows promise in reducing behavioral effects associated with prenatal alcohol exposure
02-28-2007 · EurekAlert!
Giving choline to infants who were exposed in the womb to alcohol may mitigate some of the resulting problems. Prenatal alcohol exposure affects physical and central nervous system development, putting children at risk for fetal alcohol spectrum disorders that at their worst include full-blown fetal alcohol syndrome. These disorders can mean a lifetime of potentially serious problems with learning, attention, motor skills and social behavior.

Ovation further advances development pipeline with new phase III epilepsy study
09-04-2007 · EurekAlert!
Ovation Pharmaceuticals is initiating a pivotal Phase III clinical trial for clobazam, a unique 1,5 benzodiazapine with significant anticonvulsant properties, as adjunctive treatment for patients with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, one of the most severe forms of childhood epilepsy that frequently persists into adulthood. LGS is a rare and debilitating form of epilepsy. Clobazam represents one of five CNS launches Ovation expects over the next five years.
