The signs and symptoms of underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) vary widely, depending on the severity of the hormone deficiency. For some people, low levels of thyroid hormone contribute to joint and muscle problems. Specifically, hypothyroidism may lead to: Muscle aches, tenderness and stiffness, especially in the shoulders and hipsJoint pain and stiffnessSwelling of the knee joint and

Transcranial magnetic stimulation is an experimental procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain in the hope of improving chronic depression symptoms. Transcranial magnetic stimulation is one of the newer types of brain stimulation methods designed to treat depression when standard treatment hasn't worked. There are different ways to perform transcranial magnetic

Coronary bypass surgery is a procedure to allow blood to flow to your heart muscle despite blocked arteries. Coronary bypass surgery uses a healthy blood vessel taken from your leg, arm, chest or abdomen and connects it to the other arteries in your heart so that blood is bypassed around the diseased or blocked area. After a coronary bypass surgery, normal blood flow is restored. Coronary bypass

High-protein diets are generally well tolerated by healthy adults. But a dramatic increase in protein-rich foods may be dangerous for people with liver or kidney disease because they lack the ability to get rid of the waste products of protein metabolism. Some protein is essential to human life. Protein is found in your bones, muscles, skin, organs, blood, hormones and enzymes. Your body

Japan will study the safety of cloned animals for food, after a report concluded there is no biological difference in the meat and milk of cloned and non-cloned cattle, officials said on Wednesday."The safety commission has been asked to deliberate on the matter," an Agriculture Ministry official said.It was not immediately clear how long it would take for the Food Safety Commission, Japan's food

A report last week from the Alzheimer's Association predicts that 10 million baby boomers will develop Alzheimer's disease in the United States — that translates to one out of every eight. For us "baby boomers," this is frightening to say the least. There are new treatments on the horizon, but we all wonder whether or not they will be available in time for us or even our children.

Doctors may one day be able to detect early stages of colon cancer without a biopsy, using a new technique developed by researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine. This imaging technology is one of many new ways of detecting cancers in the body in real time, said Christopher Contag, PhD, associate professor of pediatrics and of microbiology and of immunology, who led the study.

Even moderate drinking may raise the risk of breast cancer among postmenopausal women on hormone replacement therapy, new research suggests. A number of studies have linked regular drinking to a higher risk of breast cancer; it's thought that the risk reflects the effects of alcohol on women's levels of estrogen and other hormones. Similarly, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) after

A new pilot study by investigators at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) found that breast cancer patients can be treated safely with a “dose-dense” regimen of standard chemotherapy agents and the antibody trastuzumab (Herceptin®), a drug that has previously been shown to cause cardiac toxicity. While previous reports evaluating the cardiac effects of breast cancer treatments

Why do we care so much about pregnancy weight gain? The research on this subject is pretty clear. The incidence of pregnancy complications is higher in the upper and lower extremes of weight gain. Generally your health care provider will give you an idea of the amount of weight gain that is optimum for you and your baby.So, what do you do the month you get on the scale and you find you gained 8

Two infusions of the cancer drug Rituxan given two weeks apart slowed the progression of multiple sclerosis for nearly a year, researchers reported on Wednesday.Multiple sclerosis, which affects as many as 350,000 people in the United States and 2 million worldwide, is apparently caused when the immune system attacks and breaks down the insulation surrounding cells that make up the brain and

Commonly used antiepileptic drugs may boost the risk of suicide among patients who use them.A review of 199 studies comparing 11 of these drugs to placebos found that patients taking the drugs had about twice the risk of suicidal behavior compared with patients taking a placebo. In fact, of the almost 44,000 patients in the studies, four people taking antiepileptic drugs committed suicide while

Since the advent of cancer therapy, clinicians and patients have sought more targeted treatments that attacked tumors while sparing normal tissues. Several viruses, including the reovirus, or Respiratory Enteric Orphan virus, have shown a strong preference for killing cancer cells vs. normal cells. These oncolytic (tumor-bursting) viruses represent an entirely new approach to cancer

For example, at the monthly age in human embryo in the region of neck are noticeable slots, in every respect similar to the rudimentary gills. Late embryo has a similarity to the amphibious, then with the birds
