Scientists identify potential disease genes in humans and mice

An international consortium of scientists of Helmholtz Zentrum München and the University of Toronto has identified previously unknown potential disease genes in humans and mice. Genes on the X chromosome, which regulate embryonic development, are the focus of the current publication in the renowned journal Genome Research. Men have only one X chromosome, and therefore mutations on this chromosome disproportionately affect males, frequently leading to serious diseases such as hemophilia, muscular dystrophy and mental retardation.

Diabetic patients who use nurse practitioners for primary care have lower rates of preventable hospitalization

New research from The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston indicates that diabetic patients who got their primary care from nurse practitioners did not have an increase in potentially preventable hospital admissions.

Vascular Access

The arteriovenous (AV) fistulae is considered long term vascular access for hemodialysis because it allows good blood flow, lasts a long time, and is less likely to get infected or cause blood clots than other types of access.
