Study illuminates the 'pain' of social rejection
2011-03-29
ANN ARBOR, Mich.---Physical pain and intense feelings of social rejection "hurt" in the same way, a new study shows.
The study demonstrates that the same regions of the brain that become active in response to painful sensory experiences are activated during intense experiences of social rejection.
"These results give new meaning to the idea that social rejection 'hurts'," said University of Michigan social psychologist Ethan Kross, lead author of the article published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. "On the surface, spilling a hot cup of coffee ...
Avoiding health risks could prevent more than half of all cases of atrial fibrillation
2011-03-29
Reducing cardiovascular risk factors like high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes and being overweight could potentially reduce more than half of all cases of atrial fibrillation, according to research reported in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association.
More than 2 million Americans live with atrial fibrillation (AF), an irregular heart rhythm that occurs when the heart's two upper chambers beat erratically, causing the chambers to pump blood rapidly, unevenly and inefficiently. Blood can pool and clot in the chambers, increasing the risk of stroke or heart ...

Ambulatory monitoring reveals many patients have 'white coat' hypertension
2011-03-29
A third of patients thought to have resistant hypertension had "white coat" hypertension during 24-hour ambulatory monitoring, in a large study reported in Hypertension: Journal of the American Heart Association.
In ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, the patient's blood pressure is checked at regular intervals under normal living and working conditions.
Resistant hypertension occurs when a patient's blood pressure remains above treatment goals, despite using three different types of drugs at the same time. In "white coat" hypertension, a patient's blood pressure ...

Mothers' hard work pays off with big brains for their babies
2011-03-29
Brain growth in babies is linked to the amount of time and energy mothers 'invest', according to new research published today.
The study of 128 mammal species, including humans, shows that brain growth in babies is determined by the duration of pregnancy and how long they suckle. The Durham University research concludes that the longer the pregnancy and breastfeeding period in mammals, the bigger the baby's brain grows.
The researchers say the findings reinforce the suggestion that breast is best for brain development and add further weight to the World Health Organisation's ...
New insight into how 'tidying up' enzymes work
2011-03-29
Working with Professor Jeremy Harvey and Professor Adrian Mulholland of Bristol's School of Chemistry, Dr Julianna Olah, an EU Marie Curie Fellow in Bristol at the time, studied a class of enzymes – cytochromes P450 – which play an important role in removing drug molecules from the body.
When a tablet of medicine is taken, the active molecules get absorbed into the bloodstream through the gut and make their way around the body, including to the cells in which they are intended to act; however, it's important they don't stay in the body forever. Enzymes (biological catalysts) ...

2011-03-29
Premiere Tree Service of Charleston Offers Advice on Tree Roots Damage. Something that many property owners may not realize is that tree roots can create some really big problems they may not be aware of. Some of these problems can quickly lead to expensive repair work for an unwary property owner.
Roots from trees and water lines often grow into buried pipes such as waterlines, sewer lines, drainage pipes and culverts. If these pipes are old and rusty or made of materials such as clay or brick roots can break through and interfere with them. "This can end up costing ...
To better detect heart transplant rejections, Stanford scientists test for traces of donor's genome
2011-03-29
STANFORD, Calif. — Heart transplant recipients and their physicians are likely more concerned with the function of the donated organ than with the donor's DNA sequences that tag along in the new, healthy tissue. However, researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine have shown that an increase in the amount of the donor's DNA in the recipient's blood is one of the earliest detectable signs of organ rejection.
The finding implies that a simple blood draw may soon replace the regular surgical biopsies that are currently used to track the health of the donor ...
