Researchers at the University of Alberta reviewed more than 20 years of trials. They found that stable patients who have suffered heart attacks get more benefits for heart performance when starting an exercise...

Protein linked with heart failure discovered

Researchers have discovered a protein switch which can trigger conditions culminating in heart failure, potentially opening the way for improved treatment. A study shows that the absence of protein PINK1 causes heart cells to produce less energy, reports the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. This lack of energy causes some...

Almonds ‘could help prevent diabetes, heart disease’

A new study - conducted at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey - has suggested that eating almonds could help prevent diabetes and heart disease. Scientists discovered that including the nuts into our diets could help treat type 2 diabetes. As well as combating the condition, linked to obesity and physical inactivity, it could...

Diabetes'' link to viral infection confirmed

An Australian study has suggested that kids with Type 1 diabetes are nearly 10 times more likely to have a viral infection as compared to healthy children. Childhood diabetes has been linked to enteroviruses, which can lead to cold, flu and even meningitis. But the researchers have disapproved that the virus causes diabetes. Researchers at the University...

Gene variations linked to type 2 diabetes

A new study has found that certain variations of the gene HMGA1 are associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus for individuals of white European descent. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) is a common metabolic disorder that is associated with major diabetes-related complications, including retinopathy, kidney disease and cardiovascular disease. Insulin resistance in muscle, liver, and fat tissue is a major feature of most patients with type 2 DM. And it is considered that heredity is a major contributor to the insulin resistance of type 2 DM, according...

Artificial pancreas can ‘effectively’ improve diabetes control in adults

Researchers have suggested that closed loop insulin delivery (also known as an artificial pancreas) may improve overnight blood glucose control and reduce the risk of nocturnal hypoglycaemia (a sudden drop in blood glucose levels during the night) in adults with type 1 diabetes. Lifelong insulin therapy is needed to control blood glucose levels,...
