RESEARCH AIMS TO HELP THOSE WITH CHRONIC LUNG DISEASE
The Novartis Horsham Research Centre has awarded a grant of £143,846 to William MacNee, Professor of Respiratory and Environmental Medicine, to investigate COPD with a view to helping develop anti-inflammatory therapy for the condition. view more (1999-06-21)
Pain thresholds linked to inflammation and sleep problems in arthritis patients
Despite recent advances in anti-inflammatory therapy, many rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients continue to suffer from pain. view more (2009-10-29)
Net closes in on fish oil paradox: why it helps some people but not others
Not everyone can benefit from fish oil. Although it has been known for many years to relieve the symptoms of inflammatory diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, its beneficial effects are not universal. Indeed, in some people it has no anti-inflammatory effect at all. Now researchers at the University of Southampton`s Institute of Human Nutrition... view more... (2002-07-31)
Ginseng -- nature's anti-inflammatory?
Laboratory experiments have demonstrated the immunological effects of ginseng. Researchers writing in BioMed Central's open access Journal of Translational Medicine have shown that the herb, much used in traditional Chinese and other Asian medicine, does have anti-inflammatory effects. view more (2009-05-14)
Harvard and U. Pittsburgh researchers explain carbon monoxide's anti-inflammatory effects
In a study appearing in the April 2007 issue of The FASEB Journal, scientists from Harvard University and the University of Pittsburgh have shown for the first time that the anti-inflammatory effects of carbon monoxide originate within cells' own molecular engines, mitochondria. view more (2007-03-30)
Anti-inflammatory drugs following hip replacement surgery could harm rather than help
The use of anti-inflammatory drugs following hip replacement surgery could do more harm than good. view more (2006-09-11)
New study re-evaluates cardiovascular risks of anti-inflammatory drugs
High doses of some traditional non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) are associated with similar cardiovascular risks as the new generation of anti-inflammatory drugs known as COX 2 inhibitors (like Vioxx ®), finds a study in this week's BMJ. view more (2006-06-02)
New therapy protects lungs from runaway inflammation
A novel anti-inflammatory therapy designed by Vanderbilt University Medical Center investigators prevents acute lung injury in mice exposed to an inflammation-causing toxin, the researchers report in the journal Molecular Therapy. view more (2009-03-12)
Anti-inflammatory drug blocks brain plaques
Brain destruction in Alzheimer's disease is caused by the build-up of a protein called amyloid beta in the brain, which triggers damaging inflammation and the destruction of nerve cells. view more (2008-06-24)
To avoid stomach upset in arthritis patients, drug combination more effective
UCLA/VA researchers found that for arthritis patients, taking a combination of two drugs may be most effective in protecting against stomach upset called dyspepsia, which is a side effect of common pain medications. view more (2006-05-02)
COX-2 inhibitor could be safest anti-inflammatory drug for older people (p 1751)
A Canadian study involving over 130,000 older people in this week's issue of THE LANCET shows how the anti-inflammatory cyclo-oxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor celecoxib may have a lower risk of congestive heart failure compared with other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Non-selective, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are... view more... (2004-05-26)
Cytokine resistance contributes to pathology of type 2 diabetes
In a study appearing this month in the Journal of Immunology, researchers at the University of Illinois describe how an impaired anti-inflammatory response plays a role in the pathology of type 2 diabetes. view more (2007-06-18)
Previously unknown immune cell may help those with Crohn's and colitis
The tonsils and lymphoid tissues in the intestinal tract that help protect the body from external pathogens are the home base of a rare immune cell newly identified by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. view more (2008-11-04)
Vitamin D may halt lung function decline in asthma and COPD
Vitamin D may slow the progressive decline in the ability to breathe that can occur in people with asthma as a result of human airway smooth muscle (HASM) proliferation, according to researchers at the University of Pennsylvania. view more (2009-05-21)
Electroacupuncture protects acetylsalicylic acid-induced acute gastritis in rats
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely used as anti-inflammatory and analgesic agents. However, they often cause gastrointestinal injury in gastric lesions by inhibiting COX (cyclooxygenase) and detailed mechanism remains unclear. Thus, effective strategies are required to protect the gastrointestinal mucosa. view more (2009-03-03)
What is the role of interleukin-10 in ischemia-reperfusion injury?
I/R injury of the small intestine is consequently a critical problem that is important. DHP-PMX therapy can remove circulating endotoxins and reduce various cytokines, even in patients with high levels of plasma cytokines. view more (2008-09-26)
Preventing tuberculosis reactivation
Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading cause of death due to infectious disease in the world today. It is estimated that 2 billion people are currently infected, and although most people have latent infection, reactivation can occur. view more (2007-10-18)
Early signs that statins could help in treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (pp 2011, 2015)
Results of a UK study in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that the anti-inflammatory effect of statins (a class of cholesterol-lowering drugs) could be effective in relieving symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. The inflammatory nature of rheumatoid arthritis puts sufferers at an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.... view more... (2004-06-16)
Revolutionary approach for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease
Ghent scientists at VIB (the Flanders Interuniversity Institute for Biotechnology) are developing what could be a revolutionary new approach for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD): dairy bacteria that produce a natural anti-inflammatory therapeutic substance in the intestine. The results of this research are being published this... view more... (2000-08-31)
Scientists discover a protein that could revolutionise treatment for inflammatory diseases
Scientists from the University of Glasgow, working in collaboration with Dr Darryl Pappin from Imperial Cancer Research Fund in London, have identified a potent, naturally-produced, anti-inflammatory agent. The research, published in the December issue of Nature Medicine*, in a paper by Dr John Young from Glasgow, could lead to the development of... view more... (1999-11-29)
