New insight into placental growth and healthy pregnancy

2012-06-11

Researchers develop a 'time bomb' to fight cardiovascular disease

2012-06-11

In Switzerland, more than 20,000 people (37% of all deaths) die of cardiovascular disease caused by atherosclerosis each year. Treatment options are currently available to people who suffer from the disease but no drug can target solely the diseased areas, often leading to generalized side effects. Intravenous injection of a vasodilator (a substance that dilates blood vessels), such as nitroglycerin, dilates both the diseased vessels and the rest of our arteries. Blood pressure can thus drop, which would limit the desired increased blood flow generated by vasodilatation ...

Until now, scientists have known very little about the structure and function of this coat, which scientists ...

Researchers confirmed this objectively by measuring blink responses to sudden noise bursts in light and dark surroundings. Good sleepers became accustomed to the noise bursts but the poor sleepers grew more anticipatory when the lights were down. "The poor sleepers were more easily startled in the dark compared ...
