Cornell scientists link E. coli bacteria to Crohn's disease
A team of Cornell University scientists from the College of Veterinary Medicine, Weill Cornell Medical College and the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences have discovered that a novel group of E. coli bacteria - containing genes similar to those described in uropathogenic and avian pathogenic E. coli and enteropathogenic bacteria such as... view more...

SUMO-Wrestling with Thin Air
When the flow of blood to an organ or tissue is disrupted, cells become starved of oxygen. The inflammation that occurs as a result of this can be seen in many diseases. Inflammation in the gut is a significant event in Crohn's disease. Understanding how the body responds to oxygen deprivation (hypoxia) is the key to identifying new targets for... view more...

Vitamin D Deficiency Related to Increased Inflammation in Healthy Women, MU Study Finds
According to a recent study in the Archives of Internal Medicine, 75 percent of Americans do not get enough Vitamin D. Researchers have found that the deficiency may negatively impact immune function and cardiovascular health and increase cancer risk. view more (2009-04-09)
Key protein regulating inflammation may prove relevant to controlling sepsis
Scientists at Singapore's Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology (IMCB), under the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), have identified the protein, WIP1, as the molecular "brake" that curbs severe inflammation in the body. view more (2009-05-15)
New research shows how chronic stress worsens neurodegenerative disease course
The evidence is accumulating on how bad stress is for health. Chronic stress can intensify inflammation and increase a person's risk for developing central nervous system infections, neurodegenerative diseases, like multiple sclerosis (MS), and other inflammatory diseases. view more (2007-08-20)
Children with neurological and neuromuscular diseases at risk for flu-related respiratory failure
Children with neurological and neuromuscular diseases should receive an annual influenza vaccination because of a higher risk of respiratory failure if they are hospitalized with influenza. view more (2005-11-02)
Antibody to a naturally-occurring sugar chain in colon inhibits inflammatory bowel disease
A collaboration led by the Burnham Institute for Medical Research has found that an antibody which binds to an unusual sugar molecule residing in the gut halts the inflammation seen in Crohn's disease and other intestinal inflammations. view more (2005-10-07)
Better funding needed for chronic disease
More funding, increased workforce resources and further reform of the health system are needed if the national chronic disease strategy is going to deliver better care to patients suffering from diseases such as diabetes, asthma and cancer, according to an international primary health expert. view more (2006-02-06)
UQ scientists break new ground in fight against infection & chronic disease

Gene variation affects pain sensitivity and risk of chronic pain
A new NIH-funded study shows that a specific gene variant in humans affects both sensitivity to short-term (acute) pain in healthy volunteers and the risk of developing chronic pain after one kind of back surgery. view more (2006-10-23)
Infliximab May Offer Hope For Patients Living With Spondyloarthropathy
For the first time, there may be an effective therapeutic option for severe cases of spondyloarthropathies (SpA), a group of rheumatic inflammatory diseases that affect the spinal column, peripheral joints and tendons. The study, published in the March 6 issue of "Arthritis and Rheumatism", found that patients treated with infliximab (also known... view more... (2002-03-07)
Discovery of a 'molecular switch' could lead to new ways of treating infection, including MRSA
The discovery of a 'molecular switch' could lead to new ways of treating infections such as MRSA, and inflammatory diseases like arthritis. view more (2005-04-26)
Flavonoids in Orange Juice Make It a Healthy Drink, Despite the Sugar
Orange juice, despite its high caloric load of sugars, appears to be a healthy food for diabetics due to its mother lode of flavonoids, a study by endocrinologists at the University at Buffalo has shown. view more (2007-07-18)
Antibiotics appear to be overprescribed for sinus infections
Antibiotics are prescribed for approximately 82 percent of acute sinus infections and nearly 70 percent of chronic sinus infections, despite the fact that viruses are by far the most frequent cause of this condition, according to a report in the March issue of Archives of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2007-03-20)
High-dose inhaled corticosteroid use for COPD could cut risk of lung cancer
Among a group of mostly older male veterans suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), an illness that offers a greater susceptibility to lung cancer, researchers found that regular use of high dose inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) lowered the risk of developing lung cancer. view more (2007-04-02)
Hepatitis C responds best to combo of ribavirin and interferon, study concludes
A combination of the drugs ribavirin and interferon is more effective in treating hepatitis C than using interferon alone, but it also increases the risk of side effects, according to a new systematic review of recent evidence. view more (2005-07-20)
Looking at autoimmune diabetes, literally
A major problem for understanding and treating type1 diabetes is that we are unable to directly, but non-invasively, visualize the inflammatory lesions in the pancreas that cause the disease. view more (2005-08-19)
Mayo Clinic study suggests those who have chronic pain may need to assess vitamin D status
Mayo Clinic research shows a correlation between inadequate vitamin D levels and the amount of narcotic medication taken by patients who have chronic pain. view more (2009-03-23)
Research identifies new link between tart cherries and risk factors for heart disease
New research continues to link tart cherries, one of today's hottest "Super Fruits," to lowering risk factors for heart disease. view more (2008-10-23)
Progress toward a new remedy for chronic urinary tract infections?
Researchers from the Flanders Interuniversity Institute for Biotechnology (VIB) at the Free University of Brussels have recently published results that show promise in the quest for a new remedy for chronic urinary tract infections. The researchers have shown that administration of the sugar Heptyl-a-D-mannoside can prevent E. coli bacteria from... view more... (2005-02-10)
