Partly spurred by the death of his uncle, 16-year-old scientist and researcher Jack Andraka vowed to find a quick and cheap way to test for signs of the disease.
highlighting the need for an approved drug that can be taken after radiation exposure to protect against organ injury and death.
which can cause cell death and organ injury due to DNA damage. Although some agents tested by the military can provide some protection against radiation sickness when taken prior to radiation exposure,
activates the LPA2 receptor to protect against radiation-induced cell death. The researchers also previously identified an LPA-like compound that protected mice from radiation-induced death
but it did not specifically target the LPA2 receptor or possess the desired drug-like potency required for clinical use.
and has been shown to be a central regulator of cell proliferation, growth, and death. It is of such widespread and fundamental importance that animals cannot live without it.
The researchers found that hormone therapy plus radiation reduced cancer deaths by nearly 50 percent in men aged 76 to 85 compared to men who only received hormone therapy.
and cause cancer deaths. Hormone therapy lowers or blocks the levels of testosterone and other androgens (male hormones) that feed prostate cancer tumors.
Among men age 65 to 75 years old radiation plus hormone therapy was associated with a reduction in prostate cancer deaths of 57 percent relative to hormone therapy alone
Similarly among men age 76 to 85 years old radiation plus hormone therapy was associated with a reduction in prostate cancer deaths of 49 percent relative to hormone therapy alone
In both groups radiation plus hormone therapy was associated also with about one-third fewer deaths from any cause.

Their discovery makes it likely that similar drug-related deaths can be prevented in the future. In 1997 troglitazone was approved for use in the United states as one of the first drugs designed to treat type 2 diabetes.
The researchers cite the accumulation of bile acids substances produced by the liver that promote digestion and aid in the absorption of fats as the most likely suspect in the deaths.
If they accumulate in the liver they can cause cell death. Increased bile acid concentrations in the liver may lead to liver damage.

As many as 70 percent of urinary tract infections in these patients may be preventable using infection control measures such as removing no longer needed catheters resulting in up to 380000 fewer infections and 9000 fewer deaths each year.##
##Fewer catheters means fewer infections fewer days in the hospital and even fewer deaths. Not to mention the dollars saved by the health system in general.##
##Armed with the knowledge of what occurs in the digestive systems of preemies in a controlled environment the researchers next aim to discern what happens in the systems of preemies who don t fare as well particularly those suffering from necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC).

A recent study found a 24 percent overall decline in first time strokes in each of the last two decades and a 20 percent overall drop per decade in deaths after stroke.
the drop in stroke-related deaths was primarily found among those under age 65, with mortality rates holding firm in older people. e can congratulate ourselves that we are doing well,

It is also causing more serious illness and deaths than usual, particularly among the elderly,
triggering cell death in cancerous but not healthy tissue in mice. The molecule, TIC10, activates the gene for a protein called TRAIL (tumour-necrosis-factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand),
which apoptosis#or cell death#is induced in cancer cells immediately next to healthy ones. Healthy cells are stimulated also to increase the amount of TRAIL receptors on their cell surface.

I doubt there would be any statistical significance in comparing deaths across those groups. The only thing this graph really shows me is that pharmaceutical overdoses have increased quite a bit from 1999-2010between 1999 and 2010 the US population increased by 11%to 308 million.
