by AP 2 Sep 2010 at 3:01am Allergan Inc., the maker of wrinkle-smoothing Botox, has agreed to pay $600 million to settle a yearslong federal investigation into its marketing of the top-selling, botulin-based drug. by Reuters 2 Sep 2010 at 6:20am A study funded by Abbott Laboratories offered more detailed evidence that its weight-loss drug Meridia increases heart risks, prompting renewed calls by consumer advocates and others to pull the drug from the market. by HealthDay 2 Sep 2010 at 8:03am THURSDAY, Sept. 2 (HealthDay News) -- Many Americans have skewed perceptions when it comes to their weight, often believing they are lighter than they actually are, even when the scales are shouting otherwise, a new poll finds. by Reuters 2 Sep 2010 at 6:19am While staying mentally active in old age has been linked to a delayed onset of dementia, seniors who engage in such brain "exercise" may actually have a faster rate of decline once Alzheimer's is diagnosed, researchers reported Wedne... by AFP 2 Sep 2010 at 4:27am The chief of the UNAIDS agency said Thursday that global contributions to fighting the disease are dropping off for the first time in 15 years amid tough economic times. by Reuters 2 Sep 2010 at 11:21am Companies are cutting healthcare costs further amid a continuing sour economy, scaling back benefits and shifting a greater share of the expense to employees. by Reuters 2 Sep 2010 at 10:35am The estrogen-like compounds found in soy could help postmenopausal women get a better night's sleep, according to a small study. by Reuters 2 Sep 2010 at 12:19pm Women who start menstruating early may be at increased risk of asthma and poor lung function, new research shows. by Reuters 2 Sep 2010 at 2:33pm A cell phone text message -- and the buzz or beep that signals its arrival -- may not help a woman remember to pop her birth control pill, a new study suggests. by AFP 2 Sep 2010 at 1:05pm Researchers have discovered a promising new malaria drug with the potential to treat resistant strains of the deadly disease in a single dose, according to a study published Thursday in the journal Science. by Reuters 2 Sep 2010 at 2:38pm Pakistan's displaced flood victims say a lack of clean water and high temperatures are causing illnesses sweeping through relief camps with children most at risk. by Reuters 2 Sep 2010 at 1:54pm An experimental Novartis drug can clear malaria infection in mice with a single dose and scientists say it shows promise as a possible future treatment for one of the world's major killer diseases. by AFP 2 Sep 2010 at 2:16pm A groundbreaking new test can accurately diagnose drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB) in as little as two hours, researchers wrote in a study published Thursday in the New England Journal of Medicine. by Reuters 2 Sep 2010 at 1:46pm When it comes to changing health behaviors, it takes more than a far-flung network of friends on Facebook egging you on. It takes a jostling herd, U.S. researchers said on Thursday. by Reuters 2 Sep 2010 at 2:30pm A study funded by Abbott Laboratories offered more detailed evidence that its weight-loss drug Meridia increases heart risks, prompting renewed calls by consumer advocates and others to pull the drug from the market. |
31 Aug 2010 at 7:00pm Here's good news for anyone trying to lose weight or has osteoporosis: Scientists are on the trail of a weight loss drug that may revolutionize how we treat these two conditions. Researchers have discovered a new protein, called "Sprouty," responsible for regulating body fat and bone mass. 20 Aug 2010 at 4:00pm Children at risk for diabetes before they reach puberty also appear to be at risk for weak bones, researchers report. A study of 140 overweight children age 7-11 who got little regular exercise found that the 30 percent with signs of poor blood sugar regulation had 4-5 percent less bone mass, a measure of bone strength, said a bone biologist. 17 Aug 2010 at 7:00pm A unique "partnership" between two types of bone marrow stem cells could lead to advances in regenerative medicine. 6 Aug 2010 at 7:00am Scientists are reporting a possible explanation for the bone loss that may occur following long-term use of a medicine widely used to treat epilepsy, bipolar disorder, and other conditions. The drug, valproate, appears to reduce the formation of two key proteins important for bone strength. 2 Aug 2010 at 4:00pm Scientists have developed a material for bone grafts that could one day replace the 'gold standard' natural bone implants. A new study shows how particles of a ceramic called calcium phosphate have the ability to stimulate promising bone regrowth by attracting stem cells and "growth factors" to promote healing and the integration of the grafted tissue. 30 Jul 2010 at 10:00am Calcium supplements, commonly taken by older people for osteoporosis, are associated with an increased risk of a heart attack, a new study finds. 29 Jul 2010 at 11:00pm Bones have a capacity to regenerate themselves after suffering partial damage. However, it is really quite another thing when a serious break or tumor lesion occurs and the loss of tissue is substantial. Today these cases are treated with various kinds of grafts, but they have a number of disadvantages, such as rejection, contamination or limitations on donors. Researchers are developing a biodegradable porous support which will temporarily substitute for the damaged bone. 29 Jul 2010 at 7:00am Men who develop prostate cancer, especially the more aggressive and dangerous forms that spread throughout the body, tend to retain denser bones as they age than men who stay free of the disease, suggests new research. 28 Jul 2010 at 4:00am Too little of a protein called neogenin results in a smaller skeleton during development and sets the stage for a more fragile bone framework lifelong, researchers report. 22 Jul 2010 at 10:00pm Our bones have much greater influence on the rest of our bodies than they are often given credit for, according to two new studies. Both studies offer new insights into the interplay between bone and blood sugar, based on signals sent via insulin and a bone-derived hormone known as osteocalcin. 22 Jul 2010 at 4:00pm Children with celiac disease need to include certain must-have vitamins in their diets to stave off weak bones and osteoporosis, say researchers. 21 Jul 2010 at 10:00am Research of bone cells shows, for the first time, the part of the cells that sense mechanical stimulation and signal the release of bone-growth factors. 18 Jul 2010 at 1:00pm Binge-drinking teenagers may be putting themselves at risk for future osteoporosis and bone fractures, according to new research. 15 Jul 2010 at 10:00am The positive effects of exercise while growing up seem to last longer than previously believed. New findings suggest that physical activity when young increases bone density and size, which may mean a reduced risk of osteoporosis later in life. 14 Jul 2010 at 7:00pm Men with prostate cancer lose significantly less bone mineral content (BMC) as they age than men who are free of the disease. The findings are important because loss of BMC can play a key role in the development of fragile bones, fractures and osteoporosis. |

2 Sep 2010 at 10:40pm Doctors often prescribe bisphosphonates as a preventative measure for those who might be at a higher risk of osteoporosis Photo: APA Those who have taken oral bisphosphonates for five years or more are twice as likely to develop the cancer than those who have not, the analysis of medical records found. 2 Sep 2010 at 9:40pm Bisphosphonates are mainly used to prevent or treat osteoporosis, especially in postmenopausal women. 2 Sep 2010 at 6:31pm People who take bone-strengthening drugs for several years may have a slightly higher risk of esophageal cancer, a new study suggests. 1 Sep 2010 at 3:37pm Eli Lilly and Co. won a court ruling Wednesday that blocks plans by Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. 1 Sep 2010 at 11:28am Eli Lilly & Co won a patent battle protecting its osteoporosis drug Evista on Wednesday, as an appeals court declined to toss out a permanent injunction preventing production of a generic copy of the medicine. 30 Aug 2010 at 2:06pm If you've heard the most recent news on the subject, you might think that fighting osteoporosis has just become more complicated, or has it? Calcium supplements are widely used by older patients in the hope their bones will become stronger and better able to withstand the effects of age or an accidental fall. 30 Aug 2010 at 5:41am Plenary lectures enhanced by meet-the-expert sessions, orthopaedic and diagnostic roundtables Clinicians, researchers and allied health professionals with an interest in osteoporosis and its prevention, diagnosis and management, are invited to convene in Singapore for the IOF Regionals - 1st Asia-Pacific Osteoporosis Meeting from December 10 -13, ... 29 Aug 2010 at 1:33am The Pet Vet Cruiser will be in the parking lot of the Rockin' Ranch, 801 S. Nova Road, Ormond Beach, Sept. 28 Aug 2010 at 1:50am A new treatment for osteoporosis that cuts the risk of fractures by 60% and increases life expectancy is to be offered for the first time in the UK, to patients in Lanarkshire. 27 Aug 2010 at 7:40pm Osteoporosis-related fractures are a significant public health concern. Interventions that increase detection and treatment of osteoporosis are underutilized. 26 Aug 2010 at 11:39am Osteoporosis supplements should not consist of only calcium or vitamin D. In fact, boron and chromium are also useful for supplements of osteoporosis. 26 Aug 2010 at 7:29am The International Osteoporosis Foundation celebrated the opening of its new regional office for the Asia Pacific region, in Singapore. 25 Aug 2010 at 8:23am IT IS a misconception held by many healthcare professionals and patients alike that osteoporosis is a natural process of ageing and should not be taken seriously. 24 Aug 2010 at 9:49pm A new funded option for people with the bone disorders osteoporosis and Paget's disease will be funded in the community from 1 September. 23 Aug 2010 at 12:03am DEAR DR.
