Liver biopsy is still considered the gold standard for grading, staging and "stad-ging" the chronic liver disease. In addition, it remains a primary source for acquiring new knowledge on the liver pathology. view more (2009-01-05)
Targeting oxidized cysteine through diet could reduce inflammation and lower disease risk
A team of scientists at Emory University School of Medicine has identified a direct link between oxidative stress and inflammatory signals in the blood. view more (2009-03-27)
Cold homes linked to poor health among the over 50s
Older people living in inadequately heated homes are three times as likely to suffer from chronic ill health, reports a study in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. view more (2001-11-09)
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)
Researchers link inflammatory diseases to increased cardiovascular risk
Patients suffering from two serious autoimmune disorders which cause muscular inflammation are at increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease. view more (2009-09-02)
Bacterium present in eyes with 'wet' age-related macular degeneration
Researchers at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary (MEEI) have found that Chlamydia pneumoniae, a bacterium linked to heart disease and capable of causing chronic inflammation, was present in the diseased eye tissue of five out of nine people with neovascular, or "wet," age-related macular degeneration (AMD). view more (2005-11-08)
Research shows fat fuels inflammation killer
New research by the University of Warwick's Warwick Medical School shows that the biggest health threat to fat and obese people isn't the fat itself but the fact that the fat fuels a killer inflammation response in people. view more (2006-03-09)
Long-term ibuprofen regimen after brain injury worsens cognition in animal study
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine found that chronic ibuprofen therapy given after brain injury worsens cognitive abilities. view more (2006-07-24)
Proteasome inhibition affects epigenetic mechanisms
Alcohol consumption causes alteration in several cellular mechanisms, and leads to inflammation, apoptosis, immunoresponse defect, and fibrosis. view more (2009-02-19)
UCLA cancer researchers first to link intestinal inflammation with systemic chromosome damage
UCLA scientists have linked for the first time intestinal inflammation with systemic chromosome damage in mice, a finding that may lead to the early identification and treatment of human inflammatory disorders. view more (2009-06-01)
Stepping down inhaled steroids can cut side effects
A ‘stepdown’ approach to reduce doses of inhaled steroids in patients with chronic asthma can cut the risk of side effects without compromising asthma control, say researchers in this week’s BMJ. view more (2003-05-21)
Heavy breathing -- an obscure link in asthma and obesity
There is a strong link between obesity and asthma and as the prevalence of both conditions has been increasing steadily, epidemiologists have speculated that there is an underlying condition that connects the two. view more (2008-08-29)
TNF-alpha antagonist stops inflammation-induced colon cancer in its tracks
Individuals with the inflammatory bowel disease ulcerative colitis are at increased risk of developing colon cancer. New data generated by Naofumi Mukaida and colleagues at Kanazawa University, Japan, identified a central role for the soluble factor TNF-alpha in the development of colon cancer in mice in which inflammation of the bowel was induced... view more...

New discovery may improve treatment of one of the world's leading causes of blindness
An inflammatory eye condition that is one of the world's leading causes of blindness could be treated much more effectively and easily thanks to a new discovery here. view more (2007-10-01)
UCSD Research May Lead to Targeted Treatment for Asthma Sufferers
The bronchial tubes of a patient with severe asthma can become scarred due to repeated episodes of allergic inflammation in the airways. The scarring results in blocked airways, excessive production of mucus, and shortness of breath. view more (2005-11-29)
MIT: Why men are more prone to liver cancer
A fundamental difference in the way males and females respond to chronic liver disease at the genetic level helps explain why men are more prone to liver cancer, according to MIT researchers. view more (2008-01-16)
New study shows health benefits of probiotic could extend to the entire body
Data from a recent study demonstrate the anti-inflammatory and pathogen protection benefits of Bifidobacterium infantis 35624 a probiotic bacterial strain of human origin. view more (2008-08-25)
New Discovery in Preventing Diabetic Complications
A new study sheds light on the response to infection in people with type 2 diabetes. These individuals develop diabetes associated with obesity. Findings from this study revealed that controlling a specific protein produced by the body, known as a cytokine, reduces the expression of other molecules and helps control inflammation. This is... view more... (2004-08-23)
Chronic infection may add to developing-world deaths
Worldwide, nearly 2 million people per year die from diarrhea, the vast majority of them in poor countries in Africa and Asia. The disease accounts for 18 percent of all deaths among children - and yet is almost always preventable with proper treatment. view more (2009-02-13)
May hepatic granulomas be part of the histological spectrum of chronic hepatitis C?
While older large series of patients with hepatic granulomas have found sarcoidosis and tuberculosis to be the most common causes of hepatic granulomas, recent works have noted some patients with chronic hepatic C and hepatic granulomas and no other obvious associations. view more (2008-12-29)
