#New Test To Predict Relapse Of Testicular cancers Scientists have developed a new test to identify patients who are at risk of suffering a relapse from testicular cancer.
Assessing just three features of a common kind of testicular cancer-called non-seminomatous germ cell tumor-can identify those at most at risk of relapse even where there is no evidence of tumor spread.
Scientists at The Institute of Cancer Research (ICR found that three different features of the tumors were important indicators of relapse risk:
and found that combining scores could divide patients up into three different risk groups based on how likely patients were to suffer a relapse of the disease within two years.
They found that the vast majority of patients were in the low-risk group-where 94.3 percent of patients were relapse free for two years.
In the moderate-risk group 65.9 percent of patients were relapse free. Strikingly only 30 percent of patients were relapse free in the high-risk group.
and spare those who are at lower risk from the side-effects of chemotherapy.""Chemotherapy is extremely effective in treating testicular cancer,
Patients deemed at low risk of relapse could simply be monitored and potentially could avoid chemotherapy.
or to receive chemotherapy to reduce the risk of relapse. Our study may help men make this decision as among the three groups of patients identified we have found one with a very low risk of relapse where surveillance would seem to be best choice
and a small group of men who have a very high risk of relapse who could be targeted with chemotherapy.
We now need to test this prognostic index in larger groups of men in the clinic"The work was funded by the MRC with support from the National Cancer Research Institute Testis Cancer Clinical Studies Group,
This leads to a large increase in the amount of a special calcium ion channel in the nerve cells and overall, this significantly boosts the risk of epileptic seizures.

#Scientists discover new gene that increases Alzheimer's disease risk An immune system gene that associated with a higher risk of Alzheimer disease has been identified by researchers in the US.

Many different variations in the genome sequence can affect your risk of disease, and this genetic variation can occur in these enhancers that Tim has identified,
Crucially, the research also demonstrates this technique for administering treatment also reduces the risk of the bacteria becoming resistant to antibiotics,

which makes it possible to identify women with uterine cancer who have a high risk of recurrence.

or partially lost ASRGL1 in the tumour cells had a much higher risk of the cancer recurring
while patients with sustained high levels of ASRGL1 had a much lower risk of recurrence.
even after compensating for other risk factors such as tumour stage and tumour grade. The researchers hope that analyses of ASRGL1 in time can become a diagnostic tool to identify those women who have a higher risk of recurrence and therefore need more extensive treatment.'
'I view the results as a first step towards personal treatment of uterine cancer. Today, 10-15 per cent of the patients suffer recurrences,

DNA sequence or chromosome--linked to increased AD risk. The researchers next conducted a meta-analysis of these 55 variants across four independent AD study cohorts,
The two identified genes--HS3ST1 and ECHDC3--were associated not previously with AD risk.""Our findings indicate that a subset of genes involved with elevated plasma lipid levels
and inflammation may also increase the risk for developing AD. Elevated levels of plasma lipids and inflammation can be modified with treatment,
and therapeutically target individuals at increased risk for developing cardiovascular disease who are also at risk for developing Alzheimer's disease,
Therefore it is impossible to assess the risks from mis-targeted changes in the DNA sequence,
"Hemodialysis patients are increased at risk of sudden cardiac death because they often have latent ischaemic heart disease
to predict the risk of sudden cardiac death in hemodialysis patients. All 3 methods were performed at rest.
Taken on their own, patients with a BMIPP score greater than 16 had an 11-fold increased risk of sudden cardiac death,
while an abnormal Q wave conferred an 18-fold increased risk, and A c-reactive protein level greater than 2. 38 mg/dl predicted a 7-fold increased risk.
Patients with 2 or 3 of the predictors had a sudden cardiac death risk that was 145 times greater than patients with normal levels on all 3 measures.
or 3 abnormal measures were at 145 times increased risk. In hemodialysis patients, abnormal uptake of BMIPP has an independent and incremental value in the prediction of sudden cardiac death in combination with C reactive-protein protein and Q wave.
In a clinical setting, BMIPP scintigraphy can be used in hemodialysis patients who are identified as high risk by abnormal Q wave and increased C reactive-protein protein.
"Further diagnostic tests should be considered in high risk patients with abnormal BMIPP scintigraphy. Cardiac function assessment for heart failure, coronary angiography for ischaemic heart disease and Holter ECG monitoring for lethal arrhythmias can identify the type of myocardial injury
