Why are tribal populations free from clinical symptoms infection with H pylori strains?
Helicobacter pylori is of growing concern today because of its crucial role in the pathogenesis of chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer diseases and in the multi-step carcinogenic process of gastric cancer. However, it is still an enigma why few strains are associated with ulcer formation with relevant clinical symptoms while others are not associated... view more... (2009-03-09)
Research uncovers the significant benefits of remote monitoring
Researchers from Canada and Australia have found that the use of remote monitoring for patients with chronic heart failure has the potential to significantly improve clinical outcomes (mortality, morbidity and quality indicators). view more (2007-04-23)
Rodent study shows that chronic drinking can lead to severe pneumonia after surgery
People who drink often have immune-function problems following surgery. For example, patients who consume alcohol long-term have a two- to five-fold greater chance of post-operation infection complications. view more (2008-02-04)
Study suggests way to re-energize immune response to chronic viral infection
Like boxers wearied by a 15-round bout, the immune system's CD8 T cells eventually become "exhausted" in their battle against persistent viral infection, and less effective in fighting the disease. view more (2005-12-29)
The bowels of infection
Current research suggests that latent cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection may exacerbate inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The related report by Onyeagocha et al, "Latent cytomegalovirus infection exacerbates experimental colitis," appears in the November 2009 issue of The American Journal of Pathology. view more (2009-10-21)
Antibiotic not sufficient for serious eye infection in communities with high disease prevalence
Treating trachoma, an eye infection that can lead to blindness, with a single mass antibiotic distribution in Ethiopian communities with high prevalence of infection is not effective in eliminating the disease. view more (2006-03-08)
Possible Hepatitis C vaccine
Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infects up to 500,000 people in the UK alone, many of the infections going undiagnosed. It is the single biggest cause of people requiring a liver transplant in Britain. view more (2007-09-06)
More aid required for chronic conditions in low income countries
In an article published in the January 18, 2007, issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, Gerard Anderson, PhD, professor in the Department of Health Policy and Management at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, highlights the need for more international assistance to address chronic non-communicable conditions affecting... view more...

Tibotec presents interim findings for TMC435, an investigational genotype 1 hepatitis C treatment
New clinical data show antiviral activity of TMC435, an investigational protease inhibitor (PI) being developed by Tibotec BVBA for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. view more (2008-11-04)
Childhood infections stunt growth, shorten life
Records from four European countries show that, on average, survivors of generations with rampant childhood infection-measured by cohort mortality rates at young ages-were shorter and died sooner than counterparts from generations with less childhood disease. view more (2005-12-27)
Women with migraines more likely to have depression
Women with chronic headache, especially migraines, are more likely to be depressed, feel tired, and have a host of other severe physical symptoms. view more (2007-01-09)
Borrelia infection from a tick bite just as possible in a city centre park
The chances of getting a Borrelia infection from a tick bite are no different in a city centre park than they are out in the archipelago. This is one of the recent discoveries of Professor Matti Viljanen and his research team who are looking into how the Borrelia bacteria deceives and manipulates the human immune defence system. The research... view more... (2003-02-03)
Intensive therapy improves low back pain, but is it worth the cost?
Intensive rehabilitation programmes reduce pain and improve function in patients with chronic low back pain, concludes a study in this week's BMJ, but it remains unclear whether the improvements are worth the cost of these intensive treatments. Disabling low back pain is thought to be a result of interrelating physical, psychological, and social... view more... (2001-06-20)
Why some primates, but not humans, can live with immunodeficiency viruses and not progress to AIDS
Key differences in immune system signaling and the production of specific immune regulatory molecules may explain why some primates are able to live with an immunodeficiency virus infection without progressing to AIDS-like illness, unlike other primate species, including rhesus macaques and humans, that succumb to disease. view more (2008-09-17)
Stenting of abdominal arteries offers welcome relief for 'intestinal angina'
Using catheter techniques perfected in the arteries of the heart, interventional cardiologists are successfully treating chronic mesenteric ischemia, a condition akin to intestinal angina. view more (2007-05-14)
Shorter colds, milder flu may follow from newly revealed immune mechanism
Enlisted to help fight viral infections, immune cells called macrophages consume virus-infected cells to stop the spread of the disease in the body. view more (2005-10-10)
High risk of migraine, depression and chronic pain for IBS sufferers, large study shows
Patients with irritable bowel syndrome are more likely to suffer from conditions such as migraine or depression than other individuals. view more (2006-09-28)
Data study suggests cortisol could alleviate for chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and fibromyalgia (FM) are two serious and debilitating diseases with no confirmed cause and limited treatment options. However, results of a new comprehensive literature study propose a simplified treatment process that could help alleviate symptoms for patients suffering from these diseases. view more (2008-03-19)
New hope for Hepatitis C research
The mystery surrounding Hepatitis C, a disease that affects millions of people worldwide, is one step closer to being solved. view more (2006-08-11)
Swine flu: What does it do to pigs?
The effects of H1N1 swine flu have been investigated in a group of piglets. Scientists writing in BioMed Central's open access Virology Journal studied the pathology of the virus, finding that all infected animals showed flu-like symptoms between one and four days after infection and were shedding virus two days after infection. view more (2009-05-11)
