Research on the effects of stem cell source and patient age on transplantation outcomes
Blood cancers - leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma - are typically treated with a combination of treatments including chemotherapy, biological therapy, radiation therapy, and stem cell transplantation. Stem cell transplantation is the process by which blood stem cells are collected from a donor, or from the patient prior to chemotherapy, and then... view more... (2008-12-08)
Predicting acute GVHD by gene expression could improve liver stem cell transplant outcomes
Many cell transplants involve the use of stem cells from another human being (known as an allograft), which raises the major concern of the potential for acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). view more (2008-07-21)
New strategy rapidly identifies cancer targets
In a step toward personalized medicine, Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator Brian J. Druker and colleagues have developed a new technique to identify previously unknown genetic mutations that can trigger cancerous growth. view more (2006-07-17)
Medication effective for acute liver failure in early stages of disease
The antidote for acute liver failure caused by acetaminophen poisoning also can treat acute liver failure due to most other causes if given before severe injury occurs, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers and their colleagues at 21 other institutions have found. view more (2009-10-08)
A THIRD OF CHILDHOOD BACTERIAL MENINGITIS CASES COULD BE MISSED IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA (p 1753)
Limited resources, which prevents the measurement of microbiological markers, could mean that around a third of cases of acute childhood bacterial meningitis are not diagnosed in sub-Saharan Africa, conclude authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. The diagnosis of acute bacterial meningitis in children is difficult in sub-Saharan... view more... (2001-05-31)
ESC Congress 2004: Improvement of treatment for ST-elevation myocardial infarction in diabetics according to guidelines reduced hospital mortality in clinical practice by 36% between 1994 and 2002
Diabetes mellitus increases the risk to develop coronary artery disease by the factor two to four. Cardiovascular complications are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in patients with diabetes. In randomized controlled trials as well as in prospective registries, diabetics with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) have been... view more... (2004-08-30)
South African Geraniums Effective in Treatment of Adults with Acute Bronchitis
A recent clinical trial in Europe showed that EPs® 7630, a remedy made from the roots of Pelargonium sidoides-a species of geranium unique to South Africa, is an effective alternative treatment of acute bronchitis. view more (2005-12-14)
Study finds obese patients fair better than lean patients when hospitalized for acute heart failure
Researchers report that for patients hospitalized with acute heart failure, a higher body mass index (BMI) was associated with a substantially lower in-hospital mortality rate. view more (2007-01-10)
Chemical genomic screening identifies novel therapeutic strategies for cancer
A sophisticated new chemical genetic screening strategy that serves as a tool for identifying anticancer compounds may significantly enhance the drug discovery process. view more (2006-09-29)
Rare immune cell is key to transplant's cancer-killing effect
Researchers at the University of Michigan's Comprehensive Cancer Center have discovered the secret weapon behind the most powerful form of cancer immunotherapy known to medicine. view more (2005-10-17)
50 Years Of Hairy-Cell Leukemia Research To Be Observed
In 1958, Ohio State University cancer researcher Dr. Bertha Bouroncle first identified a deadly disease now known as hairy-cell leukemia, a once fatal disease that can now be effectively treated. view more (2008-12-08)
NHS makes bad use of hospital beds
*** PLEASE NOTE THIS RELEASE IS EMBARGOED UNTIL 00.01 28 NOVEMBER 2003 *** The NHS uses up to three and a half times the number of hospital bed days for conditions such as stroke and hip fracture as health organisations in the United States, according to researchers in this week's BMJ. They compared the NHS with two health organisations (Kaiser... view more... (2003-11-26)
Researchers find docking sites for glucocorticoid receptor and Hsp90
University of Oregon researchers have identified protein interactions that regulate the response of cells to steroid hormones. The discovery, they say, could lead to new ways to boost the effectiveness and reduce undesired side effects of steroid-hormone treatments and cancer drugs. view more (2006-11-21)
Drawing a crowd: Understanding the signals that bring inflammatory cells into the lung
Understanding the connection between influx of immune cells into the lung and acute lung injury is essential, since lung damage tends to occur secondary to increased lung inflammation. view more (2006-02-17)
Pair of microRNA molecules controls major oncogene in most common leukemia
Researchers at Ohio State University have discovered that two microRNA (miRNA) molecules help control the oncogene responsible for a dangerous form of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL), the most common human leukemia in the world. view more (2006-12-18)
Antibiotics unnecessarily prescribed for acute bronchitis
Antibiotics are routinely prescribed unnecessarily for acute bronchitis, according to Virginia Commonwealth University findings published in today's issue of the New England Journal of Medicine. view more (2006-11-16)
Dual role in breast tissue for a protein involved in leukemia
A protein known to play a role in growth of some types of leukemia appears to have a mixed function in breast cancer development, say researchers from the Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center at Georgetown University Medical Center (GUMC). view more (2009-06-15)
Mutations point the way to new leukemia drugs
New research indicates that drugs that target a cell growth pathway known as the JAK-STAT pathway are likely to be effective against certain chronic leukemias. view more (2006-07-18)
St. Jude helps Brazil improve outcomes of children with leukemia
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital has significantly reduced the rate at which families in Recife, Brazil abandon treatment for their children who have acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), and has significantly increased the rate of event-free survival during a single decade. view more (2006-06-07)
Molecular detectors may refine cancer treatment
University of Florida researchers have successfully used molecular probes to detect subtle differences in leukemia cells from patient samples, an achievement that could lead to more effective ways to diagnose and treat cancer. view more (2007-07-20)
