New research from Queen Mary, University of London and Harvard Medical School has revealed precisely why taking fish oils can help with conditions like rheumatoid arthritis. http://www.physorg.com/news175958149.html Medicine & Health Wed, 28 Oct 2009 14:16:38 EST news175958149 They are a group of drugs which millions of people rely on to keep pain at bay but they can have unwanted side-effects which are sometimes more serious than the original health problem. Now scientists at The University of Nottingham are taking part in the largest-ever study on the safety of Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDS) that has ever been performed. http://www.physorg.com/news166369545.html Medicine & Health Thu, 09 Jul 2009 14:46:36 EST news166369545 Researchers from the Peninsula Medical School in Exeter have synthesized a new molecule which releases hydrogen sulfide (H2S) - the gas that gives rotten eggs their characteristic smell and which has recently been found to be produced naturally in the body - and discovered that it could in time lead to a range of new, safer and effective anti-inflammatory drugs for human use. http://www.physorg.com/news162106769.html Biology Thu, 21 May 2009 06:40:14 EST news162106769 In searching for a simple way to identify individuals with smoking-related lung injury, scientists at Weill Cornell Medical College have stumbled upon a potential explanation for why the class of pain-relievers known as COX-2 inhibitors increases the risk of heart problems among users. http://www.physorg.com/news160275092.html Medicine & Health Thu, 30 Apr 2009 01:52:00 EST news160275092 Researchers at the University of Southern California have identified a new drug compound that appears to target tumor cells and surrounding blood vessels without the negative side effects typically associated with Cox-2 inhibitors. http://www.physorg.com/news159439792.html Medicine & Health Mon, 20 Apr 2009 09:50:24 EST news159439792 Using equipment not all that different from what a runner might take on a jog, veterinary researchers at Kansas State University are working to make life more comfortable for cattle. http://www.physorg.com/news154106973.html Other Sciences Tue, 17 Feb 2009 15:30:11 EST news154106973 Anti-inflammatory drugs affect the cells taking part in inflammatory processes, but also those that do not. This is why it is important to develop specific anti-inflammatory drugs which affect healthy cells. With this aim in mind, a team from the University of the Basque Country is working on analogues of the C1P molecule. http://www.physorg.com/news150644472.html Medicine & Health Thu, 08 Jan 2009 13:41:12 EST news150644472 Analgesics, NSAIDs and acetaminophen, are commonly used for the relief of fever, headaches, and other minor aches and pains. The gastrointestinal side effects of NSAIDs are well documented and acetaminophen is accepted to be a safe drug for the gastrointestinal system. Acute effects of short-term, especially high-dose NSAID and acetaminophen use have not been studied adequately. http://www.physorg.com/news149776670.html Medicine & Health Mon, 29 Dec 2008 12:37:50 EST news149776670
