Then it swoops down and derails a young life. http://www.huliq.com/11/84763/traffic-jam-brain-provokes-schizophrenia-symptoms#comments Health brain schizophrenia schizophrenia symptoms Tue, 11 Aug 2009 05:23:39 -0500 harminka 84763 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/83238/genetic-evidence-links-schizophrenia-specific-dna-region For the first time, an international group of researchers has found genetic evidence linking schizophrenia to a specific region of DNA – on chromosome 6. This is the same area where key genes for immune function are located. The LSUHSC research team was led by Nancy Buccola, APRN, PMH CNS-BC, Assistant Professor of Clinical Nursing at LSU Health Sciences Center New Orleans, who also coordinated the ten clinical sites. http://www.huliq.com/11/83238/genetic-evidence-links-schizophrenia-specific-dna-region#comments Health Genetic evidence schizophrenia Wed, 08 Jul 2009 12:12:48 -0500 harminka 83238 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/82979/combination-genetic-variations-can-lead-schizophrenia A multi-national group of investigators, including a scientist at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, has discovered that nearly a third of the genetic basis of schizophrenia may be attributed to the cumulative actions of thousands of common genetic variants. The effects of each of these genetic changes, innocuous on its own, add up to a significant risk for developing both schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. http://www.huliq.com/11/82979/combination-genetic-variations-can-lead-schizophrenia#comments Health Genetic Variations schizophrenia schizophrenia treatment Wed, 01 Jul 2009 14:26:09 -0500 harminka 82979 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/1/82755/specific-gene-pinpointed-schizophrenia-patients Two separate studies, one in the United States and another in the United Kingdom, have discovered that a gene, labeled DISC1, plays a key role in the development of schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is a mental disorder that usually develops in late teens or early adulthood, between the ages of 16 and 25. http://www.huliq.com/1/82755/specific-gene-pinpointed-schizophrenia-patients#comments Health schizophrenia schizophrenia treatment Fri, 26 Jun 2009 12:38:39 -0500 Armen Hareyan 82755 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/82537/cancer-frequent-cause-death-schizophrenia-patients People with schizophrenia die from cancer four times as often as people in the general population. That was the conclusion of a new study published in the August 1, 2009 issue of CANCER, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society. The study's results suggest that extra efforts should be made to improve cancer prevention and early detection in patients with schizophrenia. http://www.huliq.com/11/82537/cancer-frequent-cause-death-schizophrenia-patients#comments Health Cancer Deaths schizophrenia Mon, 22 Jun 2009 05:02:20 -0500 harminka 82537 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/82014/influenza-infection-during-pregnancy-may-increase-child-schizophrenia-risk When mothers become infected with influenza during their pregnancy, it may increase the risk for schizophrenia in their offspring. Influenza is a very common virus and so there has been substantial concern about this association. A new study in the June 15th issue of Biological Psychiatry, published by Elsevier suggests that the observed association depends upon a pre-existing vulnerability in the fetus. http://www.huliq.com/11/82014/influenza-infection-during-pregnancy-may-increase-child-schizophrenia-risk#comments Health influenza pregnancy schizophrenia Tue, 09 Jun 2009 14:46:23 -0500 harminka 82014 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/81155/schizophrenia-only-marginally-increases-violent-crime-risk A new study from the Swedish medical university Karolinska Institutet and the University of Oxford finds that the severe mental disorder schizophrenia only marginally increases the risk of committing violent crime. Rather, the overrepresentation of individuals with schizophrenia in violent crime is almost entirely attributable to concurrent substance abuse. http://www.huliq.com/11/81155/schizophrenia-only-marginally-increases-violent-crime-risk#comments Health crime mental disorders schizophrenia Wed, 20 May 2009 12:57:08 -0500 harminka 81155 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/80874/cognition-seriously-impaired-even-first-stage-schizophrenia Significant and widespread cognitive problems appear to exist in schizophrenia in its earliest phase, making it very hard for people with schizophrenia to work, study or be social, according to a new study published by the American Psychological Association. http://www.huliq.com/11/80874/cognition-seriously-impaired-even-first-stage-schizophrenia#comments Health cognitive impairments schizophrenia Wed, 13 May 2009 14:01:34 -0500 harminka 80874 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/80588/schizophrenia-treatment-gets-new-hope-potassium-finding A study on schizophrenia treatment has implicated machinery that maintains the flow of potassium in cells and revealed a potential molecular target for new treatments. Expression of a previously unknown form of a key such potassium channel was found to be 2.5 fold higher than normal in the brain memory hub of people with the chronic mental illness and linked to a hotspot of genetic variation. http://www.huliq.com/11/80588/schizophrenia-treatment-gets-new-hope-potassium-finding#comments Health schizophrenia schizophrenia treatment Wed, 06 May 2009 08:13:41 -0500 harminka 80588 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/79426/altered-gene-can-increase-risk-schizophrenia Rutgers geneticist Linda Brzustowicz and her colleagues have identified a specific DNA change that is likely to increase risk for developing schizophrenia in some people.
