Examination of registered clinical trials suggests weakness in size and methodology of many studies
2012-05-02
CHICAGO – Clinical studies registered in clinicaltrials.gov between 2007-2010 are dominated by small, single-center trials and contain significant heterogeneity (different in nature, difficult to compare) in methodological approaches, including the use of randomization, blinding, and data monitoring committees, according to a study in the May 2 issue of JAMA.
"Clinical trials are the central means by which preventive, diagnostic, and therapeutic strategies are evaluated, but the U.S. clinical trials enterprise has been marked by debate regarding funding priorities for ...

Use of fish oil supplements shows mixed results regarding graft patency for hemodialysis
2012-05-02
CHICAGO – Among patients with new synthetic arteriovenous grafts (a synthetic tube grafted between an artery and vein) for vascular access for hemodialysis, daily ingestion of fish oil did not decrease the proportion of grafts with loss of patency (remaining open) within 12 months, according to a study in the May 2 issue of JAMA. However, fish oil recipients had a longer time without thrombosis (formation of a blood clot), half the thrombosis rate, and a clinically meaningful reduction in frequency of radiological and surgical interventions.
"Optimal hemodialysis requires ...

Joslin scientists identify important mechanism that affects the aging process
2012-05-02
BOSTON – May 1, 2012 – Scientists at Joslin Diabetes Center have identified a key mechanism of action for the TOR (target of rapamycin) protein kinase, a critical regulator of cell growth which plays a major role in illness and aging. This finding not only illuminates the physiology of aging but could lead to new treatments to increase lifespan and control age-related conditions, such as cancer, type 2 diabetes, and neurodegeneration.
Over the past decade, studies have shown that inhibiting TOR activity, which promotes cell growth by regulating protein synthesis, increases ...

More evidence for longevity pathway
2012-05-02
New research reinforces the claim that resveratrol—a compound found in plants and food groups, notably red wine—prolongs lifespan and health-span by boosting the activity of mitochondria, the cell's energy supplier.
"The results were surprisingly clear," said David Sinclair, a professor of genetics at Harvard Medical School and the study's senior author. "Without the mitochondria-boosting gene SIRT1, resveratrol does not work."
The findings are to be published May 1 in the journal Cell Metabolism.
Over the last decade, Sinclair and colleagues including Leonard Guarente ...
