Bone mass continues to increase in liver transplant patients, despite early loss

...s, nutritional status, bone marrow density, muscle wasting and complications. All patients were prescribed calcium supplements and vitamin D, if needed. Patients received different immunosuppressive therapies, depending on when the transplant took place. Only 23 percent of patients had normal bone mass bef...

Before dementia's first signs appear, weight-loss rate doubles in elderly

...seen in old age, loss of interest in eating or the wasting effects of cancers and other health factors. The study analyzed data on 449 participants, most in their 70s and 80s but some as young as 65. All were cognitively normal at the beginning of the study but 125 were eventually diagnosed with mild demen...

Common blood pressure drug treats muscular dystrophy in mice

...monly used to lower blood pressure reverses muscle wasting in genetically engineered mice with Marfan syndrome and also prevents muscle degeneration in mice with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The results are reported online this week at Nature Medicine. In 2006, a team led by Harry "Hal" Dietz, M.D., discov...

Fiber-based light source promises improvements in food inspection

...rectangular region; a directional beam that avoids wasting unused light by only illuminating the rectangle; and a "cool" source that does not heat up the objects to be imaged. Currently employed light sources such as tungsten halogen lamps or arrays of light-emitting diodes lack at least one of these feature...

New biotech company to commercialize novel UD gene-repair technology

...rons in the spinal cord, resulting in weakness and wasting of the voluntary muscles. Weakness is often more severe in the legs than in the arms. The disease affects approximately one in 6,000 babies, and about one in 40 people are genetic carriers, according to Families of Spinal Muscular Atrophy. Herr sai...

Magnesium loss in patients given monoclonal antibodies

...study is important because it shows that magnesium wasting will occur in all patients[Previously,] hypomagnesaemia was thought to be restricted to an undefined subset of patients", says lead author Prof Sabine Tejpar. "Predicting the risk of hypomagnesaemia will also be important in those patients receiving ...
