Results of a new research suggested that individuals with a potentially life-threatening condition predisposing them to blood clots, or thrombosis, might someday receive therapy to prevent the condition. The findings by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers available online and in a future issue of The Journal of Clinical Investigation, offer new clues into the . . . → Read More: Scientists Hopeful about Preventing Life-Threatening Clotting Disorder Researchers learned the atomic-scale arrangement of proteins in a structure that enables a virus to invade and fuse with host cells, showing precisely how the structure morphs with changing acidity to initiate infection. Findings from a team at Purdue University showed the protein structure in an acidic environment, and another team from the . . . → Read More: New Findings Detail How Virus Prepares to Infect Cells Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Ali Akbar Salehi ensured that Tehran is able to supply all the needs of the country’s medical centers for radiomedicine. “Our people shouldn’t be worried about the shortage of radiomedicine, because we have had negotiations with a number of countries to remove these shortages,” . . . → Read More: Official Stresses Iran’s Ability to Supply Domestic Needs for Radiomedicine Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Ali Akbar Salehi ensured that Tehran is able to supply all the needs of the country’s medical centers for radiomedicine. “Our people shouldn’t be worried about the shortage of radiomedicine, because we have had negotiations with a number of countries to remove these shortages,” . . . → Read More: Official Stresses Iran’s Ability to Supply Domestic Needs for Radiomedicine Children who have a high body mass index (BMI) between 9 and 12 years of age are more likely to have high blood pressure, cholesterol and blood insulin levels (all risk factors for developing heart disease) by the time they reach adolescence. Reassuringly, say the authors, children with a high BMI who shed . . . → Read More: High BMI in Childhood Linked to Greater Heart Disease Risk in Adolescence Findings of a new study showed that targeted cancer therapies such as trastuzumab (Herceptin), gefitinib (Iressa) and erlotinib (Tarceva) could be used to treat a wider range of cancers than previously thought. According to new research presented November 16 at the 22nd EORTC-NCI-AACR [1] Symposium on Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics in Berlin, . . . → Read More: Tumor Analysis Reveals New Opportunities for Existing Cancer Drugs Findings of a new study on healthy 65- to 85-year-old people carrying a high-risk gene for Alzheimer’s disease, revealed that those who exercised showed greater brain activity in memory-related regions than those who were sedentary. The results suggest that physical activity promotes changes in the brain that may protect high-risk individuals against cognitive . . . → Read More: Exercise Vital for Those with Special Risk of Alzheimer’s A new imaging study found that people who stutter show abnormal brain activity even when reading or listening. The results suggest that individuals who stutter have impaired speech due to irregular brain circuits that affect several language processing areas — not just the ones for speech production. Stuttering affects about one . . . → Read More: People Who Stutter Show Abnormal Brain Activity When Reading, Listening The human impact from the wrangling between Iran and the West over its nuclear program could fall first in nuclear medicine clinics around the country, where hundreds of cancer patients a week get treatment with radioactive isotopes. Iran says fuel for the Tehran research reactor that produces the isotopes will run out in September . . . → Read More: Nuclear standoff could hurt Iran’s cancer patients For the first time, scientists have been able to “freeze in time” a mysterious process by which a critical enzyme metabolizes drugs and chemicals in food. By recreating this process in the lab, a team of researchers has solved a 40-year-old puzzle about changes in a family of enzymes produced by the liver . . . → Read More: Scientists Demystify Enzyme Responsible for Drug, Food Metabolism Iran plans to start exports of its home-made Multiple Sclerosis (MS) medication to Syria, Armenia and Russia by next month, manager of the Iranian MS drug manufacturing company said on Saturday. “The Iranian MS drug has been registered in Russia, Armenia and Syria at present and we have received a number of requests for . . . → Read More: Iran to Export MS Drug to Syria, Armenia, Russia Iran plans to establish a nanometrology center in the near future, Iranian Vice-President for Science and Technology Nasrin Soltankhah announced. “In order to study the standards of the products manufactured in the field of nanotechnology, a nanometrology center is being designed,” Soltankhah said. She also announced the country’s plans for the establishment of . . . → Read More: Iran to Establish Nanometrology Center Soon Head of Iran’s Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Mines Mohammad Nahavandian underlined Iran’s high capacity for attracting tourists who come to the country for medical purposes, and said that the country is increasing its global share in the sector.
