Evidence supports it, so why are parents still reluctant to vaccinate their children?
Date: Mar-26-2014Nearly 16 years after his controversial study was first published, the work of the discredited British doctor Andrew Wakefield - the researcher who linked the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine with autism - is back in the news. Since 2010, Wakefield has been barred from practicing medicine in the UK. He now lives and works in the US where he retains a cult following.
First stem cell model for bipolar disorder could lead to new treatments
Date: Mar-26-2014It is unclear what causes bipolar disorder - a condition characterized by dramatic changes in mood. But researchers from the University of Michigan Medical School have created the first stem cell model for bipolar disorder, which they say could uncover the origins of the condition and open the door to new treatments.The research team recently published their study in the journal Translational Psychiatry.To reach their findings, the investigators obtained skin samples from people with bipolar disorder, alongside skin samples from individuals without the condition.

Exercise in youth makes for stronger, bigger bones through life
Date: Mar-26-2014Our bone is living tissue that responds to the forces that act on it - it gets stronger when we exercise. Now a new study suggests exercising when young helps bones grow big and strong for life, and that this effect persists during aging.To arrive at this finding, researchers compared the differences between the throwing and non-throwing arms of major league baseball players measured at different points in their careers to differences measured in non-baseball players.

New generation of antibiotics may lie with small peptides
Date: Mar-26-2014As drug-resistant bacteria - or "superbugs" - get stronger and we run out of current antibiotics to kill them, the pressure to find new types of effective drugs increases. Now, a team in Germany suggests small peptides - which can attack bacteria in several different ways - have the potential to form a new generation of antibiotics.

Study finds substantial decrease in use of cardiac imaging procedure
Date: Mar-26-2014There has been a sharp decline since 2006 in the use of nuclear myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI; an imaging procedure used to determine areas of the heart with decreased blood flow), a decrease that cannot be explained by an increase in other imaging methods, according to a study in JAMA. Nuclear myocardial perfusion imaging accounted for much of the rapid growth in cardiac imaging that occurred from the 1990s through the middle 2000s. Edward J. McNulty, M.D.
