Study: Maternal fatty acid balance critical for reducing obesity in children

The balance between omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids in the tissues of female mammals, which previous research has suggested can impact the incidence of obesity in their offspring, appears to do so through its effect on the microbial population of the infant's gastrointestinal tract.

Price check on drug ads: Would revealing costs help patients control spending?

President Donald Trump wants to control spending on drugs. One of his big ideas: include prices in advertisements, just like warnings about side effects.

Classifying heart failure patients based on redox status may help personalize treatment

For more than six decades, oxidative stress has been linked to heart failure, a progressive weakening of the heart muscle that can lead to death. While antioxidant supplements such as vitamin C, vitamin B and beta-carotene have been widely used in heart failure, they often prove ineffective.

Faeces donors do it out of willingness not money - study

Healthy adults who have a good constitution and have a healthy heart are being called forth to donate samples of their faeces to science. The donors would be screened rigorously before they can be included and would be compensated modestly for their donations say researchers.

People with type 1 diabetes for decades show signs of mild drop in cognitive abilities

People who live with type 1 diabetes for very long duration show signs of mild decreases in cognitive abilities, primarily in memory, compared to those who don't have the disease, Joslin Diabetes Center researchers have shown.

Patients diagnosed with high-sensitivity troponin test have lower risk of future heart attack

The newer high-sensitivity troponin test discovers smaller amounts of heart-specific proteins, troponins, than the older troponin test and thus identifies more myocardial infarction patients than before.

New WHO Global Action Plan for Physical Activity holds potential to protect millions of people from NCDs

The NCD Alliance has welcomed More Active People for a Healthier World, the new WHO Global Action Plan for Physical Activity 2018-2030, launched today in Lisbon, saying it has the potential to prevent huge numbers of deaths and disability from noncommunicable diseases across the globe.

Next-generation cardiac pump device improves long-term outcomes and decreases cost of care

In a presentation at the annual meeting of the Heart Failure Association of the European Society of Cardiology, and in a simultaneous publication in Circulation, investigators from Brigham and Women's Hospital presented evidence that a next-generation cardiac pump device not only improves long-term outcomes but may also decrease cost of care over time for heart failure patients.

Plant-based dietary pattern lowers cholesterol and improves blood pressure

A new meta-analysis published in the journal Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases finds that a diet that includes plant protein, fiber, nuts, and plant sterols lowers cholesterol, improves blood pressure, and improves other markers for cardiovascular disease risk.

Study: 2.6% of pediatric patients hospitalized for stroke die in the hospital

A major international study has found that 2.6 percent of infants and children hospitalized for stroke die in the hospital.

Study finds link between inflammatory signals in heart muscle cells and atrial fibrillation

Interfering with inflammatory signals produced by heart muscle cells might someday provide novel therapeutic strategies for atrial fibrillation, according to an international team of researchers who have published their findings in the journal Circulation.

Traumatic childhood experiences of parents could negatively impact their own children's health

Trauma experienced by a parent during childhood has long-reaching consequences - maybe even to the point of negatively impacting their own children's health, a new Drexel University study found.

Novel PET imaging shows promise for noninvasively detecting inflammation in people with IBD

A novel positron emission tomography imaging method shows promise for noninvasively pinpointing sites of inflammation in people with inflammatory bowel disease, which includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.

Short and long sleep durations associated with increased excess heart age

Preliminary results from a new study show that excess heart age appeared to be lowest among adults who reported sleeping seven hours per 24-hour period.

Short sleep linked to increased odds of hospital readmission for acute coronary syndrome patients

Pilot data from a recent study suggest that patients with short sleep have over two times the odds of readmission than those with sufficient sleep duration during the month following acute coronary syndrome evaluation.

Researchers discover how the heart becomes fully developed

Researchers have discovered how the heart develops from a simple tube into its characteristic S-shape and forms ventricles and atria.

Limited health literacy blocks heart disease prevention and treatment

Limited healthy literacy is a major barrier blocking many people from achieving good cardiovascular health or benefiting from effective treatment for heart attacks, heart failure, strokes and other cardiovascular diseases, according to a scientific statement published in the American Heart Association's journal Circulation.

MDC researchers provide new insights on embryonic heart development

When it first starts to develop, the heart is a simple tube. Reporting in the journal Nature Communications, researchers at MDC have now described how it forms itself into a its characteristic S-shape and how the ventricles and atria finally develop.

Researchers use 'multiomics' approach to study newborn mouse heart

During the first days of life, the heart of a newborn mouse adapts to entirely new physiological conditions, larger volume loads and an increased energy demand. As a result, fundamental changes occur in the heart. Studies have shown that the heart of neonate mouse retains its ability to effectively repair tissue damage.
