Singapore scientists lead in 3D mapping of human genome to help understand human diseases
Wed, 01 Feb 2012 05:00:00 +0100 | EurekAlert! - Medicine and Health
(Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), Singapore) Genome Institute of Singapore's Associate Director of Genomic Technologies, Dr Yijun RUAN, led a continuing study on the human genome spatial/structural configuration, revealing how genes interact/communicate and influence each other, even when they are located far away from each other. This discovery is crucial in understanding how human genes work together, and will re-write textbooks on how transcription regulation and coordination takes place in human cells.

Pharmaceutical And Medical Device Market Access In Key Asian Markets Conference, 3-4 May 2012, Bangkok, Thailand
Tue, 31 Jan 2012 08:00:00 +0100 | Health News from Medical News Today
Asian markets are increasingly the focus of pharmaceutical companies who are looking for new market opportunities beyond the traditional "rich-world" countries who are facing economic stagnation. Traditionally, more "mature" and higher income Asian markets such as Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Singapore and Hong Kong have been seen as the priority of pharma marketers, but now fast-developing, high-population countries such as China, India, Indonesia, Vietnam and Thailand, are increasingly the priority...

Elevated Blood Pressure is Associated with Rarefaction of the Retinal Vasculature in Children [Clinical and Epidemiologic Research]
Tue, 31 Jan 2012 05:00:00 +0100 | Investigative Ophthalmology
Conclusions. Higher blood pressure in children is associated with smaller retinal Df, reflecting rarefaction of the retinal microvasculature. Retinal fractal analysis detects early subtle microvascular effects of elevated blood pressure, and may further the understanding of the genesis of ocular and systemic vascular complications of hypertension.

Validation of the Gail model for predicting individual breast cancer risk in a prospective nationwide study of 28,104 Singapore women
Mon, 30 Jan 2012 05:00:00 +0100 | Breast Cancer Research
Conclusions: The GM over-predicts the risk of invasive breast cancer in an Asian developed-country setting as demonstrated in a large prospective trial, with the largest difference seen in older women aged between 60 and 64 years old. The reason for the discrepancy is likely to be multifactorial, including a true reduction of breast cancer, as well as lower mammographic screening prevalence locally.
