  • (15th May, 2014); Researchers from Center of Advanced European Studies and the University Department of Growth and Reproduction find out large amount of endocrine-disrupting chemicals interfere with human sperm function and that may have a negative impact on fertilization. The study indicates that the chemicals might evoke changes in swimming behaviour at the wrong time and wrong place, hinder navigation of sperm towards the egg and hamper penetration into the protective egg coat.

  • (15th May, 2014); Researchers have shown that neurons generated from the skin cells of people with schizophrenia behave unfamiliar in early developmental stages. They used new stem cell research technology for same and they believe that this research may provide new ideas to detect and potentially cure the disease early.

    (1st May, 2014); At the AAN meeting in Philadelphia, two separate studies showed that electroCore’s non invasive vagus nerve stimulation (nVNS) therapy was effective in helping patients with different types of migraine. The first poster presentation, on April 28th, found that two hours after treatment with electroCore’s nVNS therapy patients who had both chronic migraine and medication overuse headache were pain free in 33% of attacks while significant pain relief (mild or no pain) was noted in 50% of attacks. In the second poster presented on May1st it was found that 45 % of patients, with migraine without aura, were pain free within 30 minutes of just one dose of nVNS therapy.
