Nerve Regeneration For The Future
The carnage evident in disasters like car wrecks or wartime battles is oftentimes mirrored within the bodies of the people involved. A severe wound can leave blood vessels and nerves severed, bones broken, and cellular wreckage strewn throughout the body – a debris field within the body itself. It’s scenes like this that neurosurgeon Jason Huang, M.D., confronts every day. Severe damage to nerves is one of the most challenging wounds to treat for Huang and colleagues…

Cannabis Consumption Raises Vehicle Crash Risk
Researchers from Dalhousie University found that, individuals are almost two times more likely to cause a vehicle collision if they consume cannabis within three hours of driving than individuals not under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The study is published today on bmj.com. In order to find out whether cannabis consumption increases the risk of a motor vehicle collision, the researchers examined nine investigations involving a total of 49,411 individuals…

Spinning Sessions Trigger The Same Biochemical Indications As Heart Attacks
A short spinning session can trigger the same biochemical indications as a heart attack – a reaction that is probably both natural and harmless, but should be borne in mind when people seek emergency treatment for chest pain, reveals a study from the Sahlgrenska Academy at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. Heart attacks increase the secretion of enzymes known as cardiac biomarkers, which can be measured using a simple blood test. This is important for rapid diagnosis and initiation of treatment…

Teen Secondhand Smoke Exposure Down, But Not Enough
Secondhand Smoke (SHS) exposure among middle and high school students in the USA has dropped over the last ten years, researchers from the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion and the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) reported in the March edition of Pediatrics. The authors explained that passengers in cars who accompany smokers run significant health risks, especially if they are children and teenagers. Even though exposure has gone down over the last decade, 22…

Abnormal Brain Structure In Both Siblings – Addiction Only Affects One
A study conducted by Dr. Karen Ersche, Department of Psychiatry, University of Cambridge, England, and published in Science, reveals that one sibling who is addicted to drugs, and the other who is not, have similar brain abnormalities. These abnormalities come from an area of the brain that is vital for aiding people in exhibiting self control. This research will help people understand why it is more likely, for people who have a history of drug abuse in their families, to actually develop the addiction, than those without any family history of drug addiction or abuse…

Tracking The Birth Of An Evolutionary Arms Race Between HIV-Like Viruses And Primate Genomes
Using a combination of evolutionary biology and virology, scientists at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center have traced the birth of the ability of some HIV-related viruses to defeat a newly discovered cellular-defense system in primates. The research, led by Michael Emerman, Ph.D., a member of the Hutchinson Center’s Human Biology and Basic Sciences Division, and Harmit Malik, Ph.D., a member of the Center’s Basic Sciences Division, was published online ahead of the Feb. 16 print issue of Cell Host & Microbe…

Magic Mushrooms For Depression
It seems the tide of opinion against illegal drugs is turning once again with scientists proclaiming that the Psilocybin Mushroom, popular with party goers and better known as Shrooms or Magic Mushrooms, should be successful for treating people with depression. Mushrooms have been popular for a long time, with cave paintings dating back to mesolithic era (14,000 to 5000 BC) showing pictures of the fungus. Now research is starting to show that they have an anti-depressive effect similar to drugs like Prozac, but with additional mind opening benefits…
