(AP) -- Hundreds of people on any given day will die, develop the paralyzing Guillain-Barre syndrome or have spontaneous abortions, and that doesn't necessarily mean that their swine flu vaccination shot was to blame, a new study says. http://www.physorg.com/news176193496.html Medicine & Health Sat, 31 Oct 2009 07:39:22 EST news176193496 The most common gene for a syndrome associated with abnormal heart rhythms and sudden death triggers epileptic seizures and could explain sudden unexplained death in epilepsy, said researchers from Baylor College of Medicine in a report that appears today in the journal Science Translational Medicine. http://www.physorg.com/news174749325.html Medicine & Health Wed, 14 Oct 2009 14:50:02 EST news174749325 A multi-national research team has discovered that two genetic factors converge to increase the risk of sudden cardiac death. http://www.physorg.com/news174585206.html Medicine & Health Mon, 12 Oct 2009 17:10:04 EST news174585206 More widespread availability of defibrillators and education of the general public could boost survival rates fourfold amongst athletes suffering cardiac arrest, a study has found. In less than half of cases, a bystander initiated cardiopulmonary reanimation. This is crucial as survival at hospital admission is 4 times higher when CPR is attempted and 10 times greater when an electric shock is delivered. http://www.physorg.com/news171007782.html Medicine & Health Tue, 01 Sep 2009 11:10:05 EST news171007782 Competitive sports and endurance training comes with a real -- even if rare -- twist. While most people will enjoy the benefits and pleasures of exercise, there are a few for whom regular athletic training will increase the risk of cardiac arrhythmias and even sudden death. http://www.physorg.com/news164783567.html Medicine & Health Sun, 21 Jun 2009 06:13:06 EST news164783567 Before flying off the handle the next time someone cuts you off in traffic, consider the latest research from Yale School of Medicine researchers that links changes brought on by anger or other strong emotions to future arrhythmias and sudden cardiac arrests, which are blamed for 400,000 deaths annually. http://www.physorg.com/news154721177.html Medicine & Health Tue, 24 Feb 2009 18:06:49 EST news154721177 The rate of sudden deaths increased six-fold in the first year that California law enforcement agencies deployed the use of stun guns, according to a UCSF study. Findings also showed a two-fold increase in the rate of firearm-related deaths during the same time period. http://www.physorg.com/news151928709.html Medicine & Health Fri, 23 Jan 2009 10:27:04 EST news151928709 Thousands of patients with high blood pressure could benefit from changing their drug treatment regimen to reduce their risk of cardiac death. http://www.physorg.com/news140787272.html Medicine & Health Tue, 16 Sep 2008 12:34:32 EST news140787272 Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is a condition that unexpectedly and unexplainably takes the lives of seemingly healthy babies aged between a month and a year. Now researchers of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Monterotondo, Italy, have developed a mouse model of the so-called crib or cot death, which remains the leading cause of death during the first year of life in developed countries. The model, published in this week's issue of Science, reveals that an imbalance of the neuronal signal serotonin in the brainstem is sufficient to cause sudden death in mice. http://www.physorg.com/news134312808.html Medicine & Health Thu, 03 Jul 2008 14:06:48 EST news134312808
