- Insomnia patients often denied sleep treatment when they have mental health conditions
02-04-2008 · EurekAlert!
Patients with insomnia who are diagnosed with accompanying mental health ailments often are not prescribed medication that will help them sleep -- which could then make related anxiety or depression worse, new research suggests. Scientists examining treatment patterns for insomniacs say that their findings suggest that many doctors appear to be reluctant to prescribe sleep aids, even those that pose no risk of dependence, if patients also have depression, anxiety or mood disorders.

- New treatment mechanisms for schizophrenia
01-08-2008 · EurekAlert!
The field of schizophrenia research has come alive with many exciting new potential approaches to treatment. From the introduction of chlorpromazine to the current day, all treatments approved by the US Food and Drug Administration have had, at their core, a single treatment mechanism, the blockade of the dopamine D2 receptor.

- Liver fibrosis will be treated by a potential target
10-16-2007 · EurekAlert!
The hepatitis is either self recovery or its development into liver fibrosis or, further, liver cirrhosis. Since no ideal drug is available, liver fibrosis is currently considered to be a major worldwide health problem. A research conducted by by Dr. ZH Liu from Jilin University found that ARIP2 participates in the negative feedback regulation of signal transduction in the late stage by affecting the expression of ActRIIA, which further suggests that ARIP2 might be a potential target for treatment of liver fibrosis induced by activin.

01-17-2008 · EurekAlert!
Sugars were once credited with magical healing powers but are now seen like salt as an evil necessary in small doses but the cause of numerous diseases such as diabetes if taken in excess. Yet latest research suggests this view ignores the vital role played by more complex sugars in many biological structures, and the great therapeutic potential they have.

- 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.

- Clues to gene expression in cystic fibrosis will guide research
03-28-2007 · EurekAlert!
Genetics tests could help provide cystic fibrosis (CF) patients with targeted treatment in future, pilot study authors suggest. Results from a French clinical trial published today in BMC Medicine show how a small percentage of CF sufferers with a rare genetic stop mutation responded positively to gentamicin treatment.

- Antibodies protect mice from developing respiratory tularemia
06-27-2007 · EurekAlert!
A research team led by Dennis W. Metzger, Ph.D., at the Albany Medical College in New York has now shown that treating laboratory mice with a serum containing tularemia-specific antibodies protects the mice against F. tularensis, not only if given before exposure to lethal doses of inhalational F. tularensis but also up to 48 hours after exposure. These findings suggest a possible alternative treatment approach to traditional antibiotics.
