Despite the severity of disease and the intensity of treatment, most patients in Australia and New Zealand who experienced respiratory failure as a result of 2009 influenza A(H1N1) and were treated with a system that adds oxygen to the patient's blood survived the disease, according to a study to appear in the November 4 issue of JAMA. This study is being published early online because of its public health importance. http://www.physorg.com/news174562517.html Medicine & Health Mon, 12 Oct 2009 12:40:01 EST news174562517 Severe breathing disorders during sleep are associated with an increased risk of dying from any cause according to research published this week in the open access journal PLoS Medicine. The study finds that the increased risk of dying is most apparent in men between 40 and 70 years of age with severe sleep-disordered breathing, and suggests a specific link between this condition and death from coronary heart disease in men. http://www.physorg.com/news169754530.html Medicine & Health Mon, 17 Aug 2009 19:20:03 EST news169754530 (PhysOrg.com) -- A new technology involving the fusion of four different types of images into a 3-D map of a patient's brain has helped University of Cincinnati (UC) specialists successfully remove a fist-sized tumor from the brain of an Indiana woman. http://www.physorg.com/news166797844.html Medicine & Health Tue, 14 Jul 2009 14:00:04 EST news166797844 A simple magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) test involving breathing oxygen might help oncologists determine the best treatment for some cancer patients, report researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center. http://www.physorg.com/news163262140.html Medicine & Health Wed, 03 Jun 2009 15:39:31 EST news163262140 (PhysOrg.com) -- A new study has identified a specific class of pharmaceutical drugs that could be effective in treating babies vulnerable to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), because their mothers smoked during pregnancy. http://www.physorg.com/news163258116.html Medicine & Health Wed, 03 Jun 2009 14:29:04 EST news163258116 Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is commonly associated with smell of rotten eggs, stink bombs and blocked drains but lower blood levels of the gas are possibly linked to cardiovascular complications in some male patients with type II diabetes, according to research recently presented by researchers at the Peninsula Medical School in the South West of England at the Annual Diabetes UK Professional Conference in Glasgow this week and published in Diabetic Medicine. http://www.physorg.com/news156451086.html Medicine & Health Mon, 16 Mar 2009 19:40:11 EST news156451086 A University of Pennsylvania team has completed the first successful demonstration of a noninvasive optical device to monitor cerebral blood flow in patients with acute stroke, a leading cause of disability and death. http://www.physorg.com/news155227588.html Medicine & Health Mon, 02 Mar 2009 14:47:23 EST news155227588 Electronic implants that dispense medicines automatically or via a wireless medical network are on the horizon.
