Imitating monkey's 'jumping genes' could lead to new treatments for HIV
UCL (University College London) scientists have taken a significant step in understanding how retroviruses such as HIV can move between species and the biological mechanisms behind the 'jumping genes' which make some monkeys immune. They will now use this knowledge to develop a gene therapy treatment for HIV/AIDS in humans. view more (2008-02-19)
PET/CT planning beneficial for head and neck cancer patients
Using a combination of positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography for radiation therapy treatment planning in head and neck carcinoma patients provides for excellent, local and regional disease control when compared to CT alone. view more (2008-03-05)
Post-transplant combo can replace toxic immune-suppressing drugs in monkeys
Transplant patients rely on drugs to prevent graft rejection, but at the cost of serious side effects. view more (2009-07-09)
Progress toward a targeted therapy for a specific form of leukemia
Leukemia, or cancer of the bone marrow, strikes some 700 Belgians each year. Scientists are still searching for the cause of many forms of leukemia, including T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, or T-ALL. view more (2007-04-16)
Treatment-induced growth factor causes cancer progression
In advanced cancer, anti-tumor therapies often work only partially or not at all, and tumors progress following treatment. view more (2007-04-06)
Moores UCSD Cancer Center studying novel leukemia vaccine for high-risk patients
Researchers at the Moores Cancer Center at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) are conducting clinical trials of a novel therapy aimed at revving up the immune system to combat a particularly difficult-to-treat form of leukemia. view more (2008-11-04)
Long-term anti-clotting therapy sweetens stenting outcomes in diabetic patients
A study showing that diabetic patients who are treated with long-term anti-clotting therapy are less likely to have a heart attack or die more than a year after stenting has been named among the best research papers presented at the 30th Annual Scientific Sessions of the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI), May 9-12,... view more...

Gene-specific Ebola therapies protect non-human primates from lethal disease
Scientists have developed a successful strategy for interfering with Ebola virus infection that protected 75 percent of nonhuman primates exposed to the lethal disease. view more (2006-01-13)
Drug combination slows progression of treatment resistant bone marrow cancer
Combining a newly formulated drug with one that is already a standard treatment slows the progression of multiple myeloma, an advanced cancer of the bone marrow cells. view more (2006-12-13)
Good news for some hard-to-treat hepatitis C patients
In a multi-center trial led by a Saint Louis University researcher, investigators found that a new combination therapy of daily consensus interferon and ribavirin helps some hepatitis C patients who have not responded to previous treatment. view more (2009-06-16)
Older people lose out all round in breast cancer treatment and care
Hamburg, Germany: Managing breast cancer in elderly patients presents particularly difficult challenges, a scientist said today (Thursday March 18) at the 4th European Breast Cancer Conference. Professor Lars Holmberg, from the Regional Oncologic Centre, Uppsala, Sweden, said that, with about 25% of all breast cancer patients... view more... (2004-03-16)
Estrogen therapy in younger postmenopausal women linked to less plaque in arteries
New results from a substudy of the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) Estrogen-Alone Trial show that younger postmenopausal women who take estrogen-alone hormone therapy have significantly less buildup of calcium plaque in their arteries compared to their peers who did not take hormone therapy. view more (2007-06-21)

Timely Antiretroviral Therapy Essential For Best Prognosis In People With HIV-1 Infection (p 119)
Authors of an international study in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlight how timely treatment with highly-active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) can substantially improve the three-year prognosis for people with HIV-1 infection. HAART became widespread in more-developed countries in 1996. However, there is insufficient data from individual... view more... (2002-07-10)
Fc gamma receptor gene variants associated with rheumatoid arthritis
People with a specific combination of variants of two genes, encoding two different receptors for the antibody Fc gamma, are three times more likely to develop rheumatoid arthritis than individuals with different variant combinations. view more (2005-11-10)
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)
New treatment shows promise against recurrent gynecologic cancers
Recurrent and metastatic endometrial and ovarian cancers can be notoriously difficult to treat: They have spread to other organs and typically have developed resistance to chemotherapy; and patients already heavily treated with chemotherapy may not be able to endure more chemo. view more (2009-04-22)
Response to anti-HIV therapy improved if treatment within 6 months after preventive regimen
A woman's response to HIV treatment with drug combinations that contain nevirapine is improved if at least six months have passed after she received the drug as a single dose during labor to prevent passing HIV on to her child. view more (2007-01-11)
It pays to quit smoking before surgery
People who start nicotine replacement therapy at least four weeks before surgery can halve their risk of poor wound healing.

Women on hormone therapy regain emotion response
Older women on hormone therapy are more sensitive to negative events, confirming speculation that age-related estrogen loss affects the brain's ability to process emotion, an Oregon Health & Science University study shows. view more (2006-10-17)
