Although scientists have engaged in other researches before and created some other pacemakers, this was the first study that indicated that the muscle cells of the heart may actually be converted in to real pacemaker cells. The resulting or the created cells lead to electrical impulses generation from the cells of the ‘original’ pacemaker. The new cells spontaneous electrical impulses generation was simply indistinguishable from those of the pacemaker cells themselves.

Researchers have ascertained that indeed, in the very near future, an MRI scan may be all a patient would need to go through to establish whether they would be likely to suffer Alzheimer’s disease in the future. This could be the best thing to come out of the medical world in 2012. The studies showed clearly that degeneration on the frontal lobe could be detected early enough and therefore, preventive measure taken to prevent the condition from escalation. At last, it could be goodbye to those needles in the spine for tests.

The main reason for this is that many types of cancer that affect men, and women are “silent killers”. True to their name, they are hard to detect in their early stages since most of them have little or no symptoms then and therefore, by the time they are detected it is usually too late. As this is not bad enough, there is the big issue of cancer screenings.

For once, early is not better. The flu season is with us again, and I hear that it is early, as if anyone was looking forward to it. However, this time around there is something to worry about folks.

The fears that fetal NSAIDS exposure could be responsible for the cases of hypertension in newborns have at last been laid to rest. In a research carried out by Physician’s Briefing and published on their website on Dec 3 2012, it was proved that the aforementioned substances are not to blame. This was after an intense research performed on 377 women in a Boston Hospital whose children had PPHN. While the NSAIDs exposure has been given a clean bill of health, one would want to know more about this to understand what the research was all about.

Statistics have indicated that many children in The US are undergoing DIPs (Diagnostic imaging procedures).

In fact, every year the number of children who undergo this is on the rise. So what is diagnostic imaging and what are its benefits? Is it good or is it bad? Diagnostic imaging refers to procedures that doctors use to look inside the body of children or adult patients. The doctor will use a variety of methods and machines to look inside the body.

In comparison to the baby boom year when the birth rate was high, equaling 122 babies for every 1000 women, the number fell in the year 2011, coming to almost half, meaning that it came to about 63 babies for every 1000 women. There have been dynamic changes in the birthrates in the US among all demographics but the most appalling thing is that among all the groups of women that have been studied in research, it has emerged that the birthrates for newborns keep dropping.

Nobody could ever have imagined that they would receive a life threatening condition from a vial of medication. The people who received vials of a steroid medication that had been prepared by the New England compounding center definitely didn’t expect this yet it is exactly what happened and with the death toll currently standing at 15 many people have been getting worried. The outbreak has so far been experienced in 14 states and there are already 205 cases that are being handled. The new cases came from the states of Florida, Indiana, New Hampshire and Tennessee.
