Patients with Parkinson's disease who are younger when they develop the condition, have a personality trait known as novelty-seeking or whose personal or family history includes alcohol abuse may be more likely to develop pathological gambling as a side effect of medications used to treat their condition, according to a report in the February issue of Archives of Neurology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. [Ironic] An Italian pensioner committed suicide after his wife fell in

Clue Found To Epstein-Barr Virus' Ability To Form And Sustain Tumors
Researchers at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health have found a viral target that opens the door for the development of drugs to destroy tumors caused by Epstein-Barr virus. Pro-inflammatory Protein Contributes To Crohn's Disease According To U
A pro-inflammatory protein activated by bacteria in the colon plays a key role in the development of experimental colitis in mice -- a mouse-version of human Crohn's disease -- according to research by scientists at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine. More Than A Pill: Complementary Medicine Can Help With Chronic Pain
Mr. Jones has chronic back pain. He cannot sleep, bend or stand for long periods of time because of the pain. He cannot lose weight because the pain keeps him from exercising. Jones is a case study in a publication by a University of Missouri-Columbia occupational therapy professor to show that chronic pain can be treated by more than just a pill. Cedars-Sinai Researchers Demonstrate A New Way To Switch Therapeutic G
A gene therapy research team at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center has developed a new method of signaling therapeutic genes to turn "off"or "on,"a mechanism that could enable scientists to fine-tune genetic- and stem cell-based therapies so that they are safer, more controllable and more effective. Tumor Suppressor Gene Protects Against Pre-cancerous Development
Cell biologists have provided further evidence that a gene thought to play a role in suppressing tumors actually protects against the development of pre-cancerous cell growth as well. The researchers say that the gene, caveolin-1, which they found in two major types of breast cells, could be a potential target for future drugs aimed at preventing breast cancer. The work also suggests a potentially important role of the tumor "microenvironment"in the cancerous process. Labor Day Marks Appreciation of U.S. Workers
