Novel Structure and Function of Typhoid Toxin Researchers gained important insights into the reasons why Salmonella typhi, the cause of typhoid fever, is so dangerous. The findings could help guide the development of therapeutics and improved vaccines against the infection. More than 20 million people are infected with S. typhi each year, mainly in the developing world. Most […]
Technique Forms Working Inner Ear Cells Using an innovative 3-D culture system, researchers were able to coax mouse embryonic stem cells to form cells and structures seen in the inner ear. The technique could lead to deeper insights into inner ear development and disorders. Specialized epithelial cells in the inner ear detect head movements, gravity […]
Urine Test Detects Kidney Transplant Rejection Levels of certain molecules in the urine of kidney transplant recipients can provide an early sign of transplant rejection, researchers found. The noninvasive urine test could allow doctors to intervene early and protect transplanted kidneys. After a kidney transplant, patients must take medications with toxic side effects to keep […]
Brain Protein Affects Aging and Sleep A new study revealed how an aging-related protein in the brain affects sleep patterns. A better understanding of the connections between aging and sleep may lead to improved methods for treating or preventing certain diseases of aging. Our sleep/wake cycle is governed by an internal circadian clock that’s coordinated […]
Altered Protein Shapes May Explain Brain Diseases Scientists may have uncovered a key mechanism involved in the brain degeneration seen in conditions such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease. Several neurological disorders are marked by proteins that aggregate, or accumulate in the brain. Normal proteins may become insoluble and clump together when they sporadically “misfold” and […]
The Effects of Estrogen Therapy on Cognition A large analysis of estrogen therapy in younger postmenopausal women, aged 50–55, found no long-term risk or benefit on cognitive function. Hormone therapies are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for certain uses in postmenopausal women, such as severe hot flashes. Because of health risks, […]
Gene Variants Predict Response to Breast Cancer Drugs Scientists found genetic variations that could be used to identify women who are most likely to benefit from a certain type of breast cancer prevention drug—and who should avoid it. Women with a high risk for developing breast cancer—for example, those with a family history of the […]
Vietnam Vets with PTSD More Likely to Have Heart Disease Among male twin Vietnam veterans, those with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) were more than twice as likely to have heart disease 13 years after being diagnosed as twin vets without PTSD. The finding suggests that PTSD may be a risk factor for heart disease. PTSD […]
Insights Into Inner Ear Repair Sound-sensitive structures in the inner ear are repaired in a 2-step process. The new findings explain a key step in the maintenance of hearing. The inner ear contains thousands of sensory cells called hair cells, which help transform sound into electrical signals that the brain can understand. Sitting atop the […]
Brain Scan May Predict Best Depression Treatment A brain imaging technique may help predict whether people with major depression will respond best to treatment with psychotherapy or a commonly prescribed drug. The approach might eventually be used as a tool to identify treatments that are most likely to succeed. People with major depressive disorder, or […]
Medications can be effective when they are used properly, but some can be addictive and dangerous when abused. This chart provides a brief look at some prescribed medications that—when used in ways or by people other than prescribed—have the potential for adverse medical consequences, including addiction. In 2010, approximately 16 million Americans reported using a […]
Saw palmetto Treatments

In women: helps relieve painful periods and regulates the menstrual cycle; stimulates the production of prolactin, a female hormone that promotes breast enlargement. Used to treat urinary tract and bladder infections; has an aphrodisiac effect by enhancing sexual functioning and sexual desire.
Actually, there is no reason to be embarrassed. Enlarged breasts are common among teenage boys and men, and breast reduction surgery is increasingly popular among guys. In fact, in the US it’s the fourth most popular cosmetic surgical procedure among males, with nearly 17,000 of them performed in 2009 alone.

The specific type of birth defect depends on the systems in the fetus developing at the time of alcohol exposure. Organ systems are most vulnerable to damage by alcohol during the period of most dynamic development. The damage seen in animal models roughly corresponds to weeks 3 to 8 in human pregnancy. However, if a woman drinks any time throughout her pregnancy, damage may occur.
