Alzheimer's Disease - Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, Canada |
 | Surgical site infections common after breast surgery Infections at the incision site occurred in more than 5 percent of patients following breast surgery and cost them more than $4,000 each in hospital-related expenses, revealed in a US study. Mastectomy - Archives of Surgery, USA |
 | Avastin found effective in advanced breast cancer patients Genentech, Inc. (NYSE: DNA) announced that AVADO, a Roche-sponsored Phase III, placebo-controlled study evaluating AvastinŽ (bevacizumab) in combination with docetaxel chemotherapy met its primary endpoint of prolonging progression-free survival (PFS) in patients who had not received prior chemotherapy for their locally recurrent or metastatic HER2-negative breast cancer. Breast Cancer - Genentech, USA |
 | Cost of diabetes treatment doubled in US Because of the increased number of patients, growing reliance on multiple medications and the shift toward more expensive new medicines, the annual cost of diabetes drugs nearly doubled in only six years, rising from $6.7 billion in 2001 to $12.5 billion in 2007 according to a study in the Oct. 27, 2008, issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine. Diabetes - University of Chicago Medical Center, USA |
 | Latisse approved for hypotrichosis of eyelashes Allergan, Inc. (NYSE: AGN) announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved LATISSE(TM) (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution) 0.03% as a novel treatment for hypotrichosis of the eyelashes. Eyes - Allergan, USA |

 | Test your memory test for Alzheimer's disease UK researchers at Addenbrooke's Hospital have created a new cognitive test (TYM) that detects Alzheimer's disease quickly and accurately. The study published online on BMJ.com. Alzheimer's Disease - British Medical Journal, UK |
 | Homeopathy Arsenic 30 preventive for H1N1 flu, says CCRH The Indian Department of AYUSH (alternative systems) has released a press note suggesting use of Arsenic alba 30 one dose for three consecutive days as preventive for Swine flu. Swine Flu - Health Newstrack, India |
 | Hops compound xanthohumol may prevent prostate cancer The natural compound xanthohumol blocks the effects of the male hormone testosterone, therefore aiding in the prevention of prostate cancer, revealed by US researchers. Prostate Cancer - American Association for Cancer Research, USA |
 | Molecular mechanism triggering Parkinson's disease identified Scientists at the Stanford University School of Medicine have identified a molecular pathway responsible for the death of key nerve cells whose loss causes Parkinson's disease. This discovery not only may explain how a genetic mutation linked to Parkinson's causes the cells' death, but could also open the door to new therapeutic approaches for the malady. Parkinson's Disease - Stanford University Medical Center, USA |
 | Heart's sounds can help diagnose heart failure For emergency department patients with shortness of breath and a risk of heart failure, physicians usually grab one thing first: a stethoscope. Heart disease - University of Cincinnati Academic Health Center, USA |
 | Initial trials on new ovarian cancer tests exhibit extremely high accuracy Scientists at the Georgia Institute of Technology have attained very promising results on their initial investigations of a new test for ovarian cancer. Using a new technique involving mass spectrometry of a single drop of blood serum, the test correctly identified women with ovarian cancer in 100 percent of the patients tested. The results can be found online in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers, & Prevention Research. Ovarian Cancer - Georgia Institute of Technology, USA |
 | Women who drink beer may develop psoriasis Regular beer - but not light beer or other types of alcohol - appears to be associated with an increased risk of developing psoriasis, revealed by researchers. Psoriasis - Archives of Dermatology, USA |
 | New rheumatoid arthritis criteria aim to recognise RA early New criteria for rheumatoid arthritis (RA), published in the Annals of Rheumatic Diseases, could prevent thousands of people from developing disabling late stage disease, by redefining how RA should be classified. Rheumatoid arthritis - British Medical Journal, UK |
 | Primary care doctors get little information about chronic sinusitis Facial pain. Nasal congestion. Postnasal drip. Fatigue. These are hallmark signs of chronic sinusitis, a swelling of tissue in the nasal and sinus cavity. The illness strikes millions of Americans each year and is one of the top five reasons patients visit their primary care doctor. Sinusitis - Georgetown University Medical Center, USA |
| Researchers discover genetic link between immune system, Parkinson's disease A team of researchers has discovered new evidence that Parkinson's disease may have an infectious or autoimmune origin. "Common genetic variation in the HLA region is associated with late-onset sporadic Parkinson's disease" appears online in Nature Genetics. Parkinson's disease - University of Washington, USA |
 | Antisense may protect from Ebola and Marburg viruses Treatments targeting specific viral genes protected monkeys infected with deadly Ebola or Marburg viruses, revealed in a new research. Ebola - US Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases, USA |
 | Rectal cancer rates rising in young individuals in US A new analysis has found that while colon cancer rates have remained steady over the past several decades among people under the age of 40, rectal cancer rates are increasing in this population across races and in both sexes. Rectal cancer - American Cancer Society, USA |
| Prostate cancer care cost varies with initial treatment choice A new analysis has found that short-term and long-term costs of prostate cancer care vary considerably based on which treatment strategy a man initially receives. Prostate Cancer - American Cancer Society, USA |
 | Genetic variant linked to common migraine Researchers have produced new insights into the triggers for migraines attacks. They have identified the first-ever genetic risk factor associated with common types of migraine. Migraine - Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, UK |
