News: E-noses Could Make Diseases Something to Sniff at
Vendredi 11 Janvier 2008 - 14:00 - 12 mois depuis - Cancer - Scientific American Ancient medical practitioners plied their trade by trusting their noses. They knew that diabetes could make a patient's breath smell sweet and that a wound emitting a foul odor was infected. These early doctors, lacking today's sophisticated technology, often relied on their sense of smell to diagnose illness. |

News: Tumor Time Bombs Set Off by Stem Cells
Jeudi 10 Janvier 2008 - 22:00 - 12 mois depuis - Cancer - Scientific American Researchers say they have identified a switch that makes dormant breast cancer cells that have traveled to the lungs swell to lethal proportions--completing the dreaded process of metastasis or cancer spread. A team from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in Long Island, N.Y., reports that it staved off full-blown metastasis in mice by preventing mini-tumors in the lungs from recruiting stem cells called endothelial progenitors, which assemble into blood vessels to nourish the malignancy. |

Scientific American Magazine: Cell Defenses and the Sunshine Vitamin
Lundi 07 Janvier 2008 - 14:45 - 1 année depuis - Cancer - Scientific American It was called the sunshine cure, and in the early 20th century, before the era of antibiotics, it was the only effective therapy for tuberculosis known. No one knew why it worked, just that TB patients sent to rest in sunny locales were often restored to health. The same “treatment” had been discovered in 1822 for another historic scourge, rickets--a deforming childhood condition caused by an inability to make hardened bone. Rickets had been on the rise in 18th- and 19th-century Europe, coinciding with industrialization and the movement of people from the countryside to the polluted cities, when a Warsaw doctor observed that the problem was relatively rare in rural Polish children. He began experimenting with city children and found that he could cure their rickets with exposure to sunshine alone. |

Sciam Observations Blog: Sunbathing: good or bad?
Lundi 07 Janvier 2008 - 12:28 - 1 année depuis - Cancer - Scientific American Is it better to bask in the sun and boost your production of Vitamin D or hide from its rays and the potential skin cancer they cause? A new study leans toward the former, at least for those from the high latitudes, like Scandinavia.Quoting from the press release:"We know that solar radiation is the leading cause of skin cancer," said biophysicist Richard Setlow of Brookhaven National Laboratory and a well-known expert on the link between solar radiation and skin cancer. |
