| Increased survival rates for patients with Hodgkin lymphoma Posted: 18 Mar 2013 06:09 PM PDT A new population-based study from Karolinska Institutet has shown that the survival rate for patients with Hodgkin lymphoma - a form of cancer of the lymphatic system - has seen considerable improvements in recent decades. The number of patients suffering from treatment-related heart complications with fatal consequences has for example reduced as a result of new treatment strategies. Over 5,000 patients were involved in the study published in the scientific journal, Journal of Clinical Oncology.        |
| Researchers Trap Light, Improve Laser Potential of MEH-PPV Polymer Posted: 18 Mar 2013 05:54 PM PDT Researchers from North Carolina State University have come up with a low-cost way to enhance a polymer called MEH-PPV’s ability to confine light, advancing efforts to use the material to convert electricity into laser light for use in photonic devices.     |
| Uncontrolled hypertension could bring increased risk for Alzheimer's disease Posted: 18 Mar 2013 05:39 PM PDT A study in the JAMA Neurology (formerly the Archives of Neurology) suggests that controlling or preventing risk factors such as hypertension earlier in life may limit or delay the brain changes associated with Alzheimer's disease and other age-related neurological deterioration.     |
