Scientists throw light on drug-induced weight gain
Researchers at the University of Sheffield have identified two genes that could prevent millions of patients from gaining weight as a result of their medication. Their work is being presented at the American Psychiatric Association's annual meeting in San Francisco on Tuesday May 20th. view more (2003-05-15)
Harnessing Microbes to Kill Cancer
An ingenious new way to attack cancer tumours is being developed by medical researchers from Nottingham as part of an EU consortium, the Society for General Microbiology's Spring Meeting in Edinburgh heard today, Tuesday 8 April 2003. The problem with powerful anti-cancer drugs is that they kill healthy cells too, and concentrations needed to wipe... view more... (2003-04-02)
Anti-psychotic drugs could help fight cancer
The observation that people taking medication for schizophrenia have lower cancer rates than other people has prompted new research revealing that anti-psychotic drugs could help treat some major cancers. view more (2009-08-12)
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)
Tuberculosis not the only risk from new immunological drugs
A new survey cautions physicians that drugs commonly prescribed for patients suffering from immunological disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease may carry risks of serious infections other than the known risk of tuberculosis. view more (2008-05-21)
Absence or low function of CHFR gene in breast cells sets stage for abnormal cell division and cancer
A University of Michigan study reveals in detail how breast cells produce new cells that are predisposed to become cancerous, unless they receive the protective action of the CHFR gene. view more (2008-06-20)
Anti-growth factor drugs raise hope and concern for treatment of children's eye diseases
A new class of antibody drugs may provide a powerful new tool for the treatment of eye diseases in children, but specialists need to be alert for the possibility of serious side effects, according to an editorial in the August Journal of AAPOS (American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus), published by Elsevier. view more (2009-08-03)
Anti-hypertensive drugs may help prevent and treat Alzheimer's disease

ABC-transporters expressed on endothelial cell membranes efflux anti-HIV drugs
Researchers at Tulane University Medical Center in New Orleans (USA) have discovered that drug-efflux pumps, belonging to the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter family, are constitutively expressed on vascular endothelial cells. view more (2008-08-27)
New Guidelines for Treating Rheumatoid Arthritis
Proven combinations of medicines and the introduction of new anti-arthritis drugs have significantly improved the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), according to guidelines issued by the American College of Rheumatology and co-authored by physicians at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). view more (2008-07-23)
Exciting Development in Anti-Retroviral Drug Discovery Made at Oxford
Researchers in Oxford University's Sir William Dunn School of Pathology have developed a novel HTS for identifying antiretroviral (HIV) agents/drugs that inhibit HIV infectivity. Current anti-viral drugs prolong the quality of life for many HIV-1+ individuals, but they do not stop the virus from infecting new cells. Since these drugs mostly... view more... (2003-06-05)
Study reveals mechanism for cancer-drug resistance
Using the worm Caenorhabditis elegans, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have discovered a mechanism by which cancer cells become resistant to a specific class of drugs. view more (2006-10-10)
The prevalence of hepatitis B virus infection in inflammatory bowel disease patients
Patients with IBD have high risk of infection by hepatitis viruses B or C because during the course of their disease, they need blood transfusions, and sometimes surgical and endoscopic procedures for diagnosis and treatment. view more (2008-09-18)
Aspirin and similar drugs may be associated with brain microbleeds in older adults

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)
ANGIOPLASTY OR MEDICAL THERAPY IMMEDIATELY AFTER HEART ATTACK? (p 814, 825 )
Authors of a study in this week’s issue of THE LANCET suggest that there is no difference in treatment outcome of pre-hospital medical therapy with anti-clotting drugs or emergency angioplasty after severe heart attack. Although the use of anti-clotting drugs before hospital admission (prehospital fibrinolysis) and primary angioplasty... view more... (2002-09-11)
Web model of influenza-host lifecycles will aid scientists in creating anti-viral drugs
A "starry sky" map linking the myriad interactions between the influenza virus and its human host will help guide researchers in creating new anti-viral drugs, say researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center. view more (2006-01-31)
'ANTEDRUGS': A Safer Approach To Drug Therapy
Corticosteroids are powerful drugs used to treat inflammatory conditions such as asthma and other chronic diseases which has made them among the most widely prescribed drugs.
