HRT: Hormone replacement therapy – WebMD Boots

Posted: Published on November 20th, 2017

Find answers to common questions about hormone replacement therapy. The answer depends on how long you've been taking hormone replacement therapy, and why. HRT is very effective at helping to control menopause symptoms. However, HRT causes a small increase in a woman's risk of developing breast cancer, endometrial cancer, ovarian cancer and having a stroke. As well as risks, there are other benefits. HRT can also reduce a womans risk of developing osteoporosis, colon cancer and cancer of the rectum. The NHS says that used for no longer than 5 years, the benefits of HRT outweigh the risks. Anyone taking HRT for longer should discuss the risks and benefits with their doctor. There are several alternative remedies you may want to try to reduce menopausal symptoms such as hot flushes or night sweats: Soya: Soya seems to be an effective, short-term treatment to suppress hot flushes and night sweats. For instance, a 2002 study published in the US journal Menopause, concluded: Soy isoflavone extract may help to reduce the frequency of hot flushes in climacteric women and provides an attractive addition to the choices available for relief of hot flushes. It can be difficult to get enough soya from food, … Continue reading →

New Advancement in Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Research

Posted: Published on October 17th, 2017

A recent change in how well we understand stem cells may make it easier for scientists and researchers to gather stem cells for use in scientific research as well as medical application. A new study was released in the research publication, Cell, which was performed by representatives from the University of California San Francisco. One of the issues which hinder the use of stem cells as a more widespread treatment or field of research is that researchers and patients have a bottleneck of available healthy stem cell lines which can be used for research. Researchers hope that this new discovery will allow future scientific discoveries and applications in the areas of creating new and healthy tissue for patients with kidney failure or any other form of organ tissue failure. The future of medical therapy lies with Stem Cell Research, but many other forms of treatment, including Hormone Replacement Therapy, are already in practice today. Researchers have discovered that it is possible to essentially “flip a switch” in an adult cell, reverting it back to the preliminary state at which cells existed in one of the earliest stages of development—the embryonic stem cell. Medical researchers hypothesize that Stem Cell treatments could … Continue reading →

New Stem Cell Cancer Treatment on the Horizon?

Posted: Published on October 17th, 2017

Stem Cell Research is an amazing field right now, and promises to be a powerful and potent tool to help us live longer and healthier lives. Just last month, for example, Stem Cell Therapy was used to restore sight in patients with severe retinal deterioration, allowing them to see clearer than they had in years, or even decades. Now, there is another form of Stem Cell Treatment on the horizon—this one of a very different form. Stem Cells have now been used as a mechanism to deliver medical treatment designed to eliminate cancer cells, even in hard to reach places. One issue with current cancer treatments is that, treatments that are effective at treating tumors on the surface of the brain cannot be performed safely when the tumor is deeper within the brain's tissues. Stem Cells have the fantastic ability to transform into any other kind of cell within the human body, given the appropriate stimulation. As of today, most of these cells come from Embryonic Lines, but researchers are learning how to backwards engineer cells in the human body, reverting them back to their embryonic state. These cells are known as Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells. How Does This Stem … Continue reading →

Devastating disease that changes brain size discovered – Medical Xpress

Posted: Published on September 8th, 2017

Credit: University of Manchester An international collaboration led by scientists and doctors from the UK, Netherlands and United States has identified a new genetic disease that affects the size of our brains and causes severe developmental problems. While working on another project, Dr Siddharth Banka who is based at The University of Manchester and the Manchester Centre for Genomic Medicine, Saint Mary's Hospital, noticed three children with large or small brains, developmental delay and mutations in a gene called RAC1. At that point, it was difficult to be sure if it was a true finding, because RAC1 has never before been linked to human disease. And mutations in no other single gene have previously shown this extent of variability in brain-size. As part of a parallel project, Professor Han Brunner and Dr Margot Reijnders of the Radboud University in Nijmegen had gathered together four more children with mutations in the same gene and altered brain-sizes. Some of the affected children were also found to have epilepsy and heart defects. Dr Tom Millard also from The University of Manchester then used mouse cells to show that mutations in RAC1 affect the shape of the cells. When Dr Maria Kousi and Professor … Continue reading →

Visualizing gene trait networks for faster discovery – Feedstuffs

Posted: Published on September 8th, 2017

It is now possible for non-bioinformaticians to create knowledge networks a powerful way for biologists to visualize deep connections between genes and phenotypes quickly and efficiently, thanks to the integration of Rothamsted Researchs open-source KnetMiner software into the Genestack platform. These new software tools make it easier for plant breeders and others to mine genomics data to find novel ways to improve the performance of all kinds of crops. Genotype to phenotype analysis is at the core of what biologists do. With KnetMiner, we have created software that enables biologists to take their own high-throughput experimental data and to see them in the context of all the public knowledge that is out there. This can help them interpret their own data faster and more effectively," Dr. Keywan Hassani-Pak, head of bioinformatics at Rothamsted Research and leader of the KnetMiner project, explained. For a particular target species, such as a crop plant, KnetMiner integrates all the relevant genomics and 'omics' information that is present in more than 25 sources under a multitude of formats. KnetMiner brings it together in the form of a heterogeneous knowledge network. We dont only integrate the data; we also create new relationships based, for example, on … Continue reading →

Free IVF treatment scrapped in county where it all began – Times & Star

Posted: Published on September 8th, 2017

Free fertility treatment for women struggling to conceive will not be available on the NHS in the very county where IVF was pioneered. Funding for specialist in vitro fertilisation (IVF) services was scrapped by health bosses in the Cambridge and Peterborough area on Wednesday, and provision was suspended with immediate effect. The money-saving move attracted backlash when the plans were first announced, with more than 2,200 people signing a petition calling for the proposals to be reconsidered. But Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) said it was a "financially necessary decision". Dr Gary Howsam, chair and chief clinical officer of the CCG, said: "This was a very difficult decision for the governing body to make and we understand that people will be disappointed. "The CCG has finite resources to fund a whole range of health services and treatments. "We need to save 46.5m this financial year, and so we have had to review all areas of our spending and to make some difficult decisions. "The decision to suspend routinely commissioning specialist fertility services is a financially necessary decision." He added: "Couples can still be referred on to hospital for further tests to investigate the cause of their infertility. Many … Continue reading →
