Now, researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University have discovered that chemo also induces an insidious type of nerve damage inside bone marrow that can cause delays in recovery after bone marrow transplantation. The findings, made in mice and published online today in Nature Medicine, suggest that combining chemotherapy with nerve-protecting agents may prevent long-term bone marrow injury that causes anemia and may improve the success of bone marrow transplants. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2013-05-discovery-chemotherapy-induced-anemia.html Medical research Sun, 05 May 2013 13:00:01 EST news286954775 For the first time, a UCLA team has used a technique normally employed in treating brain aneurysms to treat severe, life-threatening irregular heart rhythms in two patients. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2013-03-team-brain-aneurysm-treatment-irregular.html Cardiology Thu, 14 Mar 2013 13:06:00 EST news282485149 (HealthDay)—A new report warns that popular energy drinks such as Red Bull and Rockstar pose potential hazards to teens, especially when mixed with alcohol. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2013-02-energy-pose-teens.html Pediatrics Fri, 01 Feb 2013 11:40:01 EST news278938207 Healthy men and women show little difference in their hearts, except for small electrocardiographic disparities.
