Mild hepatitis C infection will rapidly worsen in one in three of those affected, suggests research in Gut. This is particularly likely in those who are older when first infected, and those who already have a degree of inflammation and scar tissue (fibrosis) in their liver at diagnosis. The viral liver infection hepatitis C (HCV) is mainly passed... view more... (2004-02-11)
Proteins may predict lung transplant rejection
Using the latest in high tech tools, researchers have identified three proteins that were highly predictive of chronic lung rejection up to 20 months before the rejection occurred. view more (2006-11-03)
Aerosolized nanoparticles show promise for delivering antibiotic treatment
Aerosol delivery of antibiotics via nanoparticles may provide a means to improve drug delivery and increase patient compliance, thus reducing the severity of individual illnesses, the spread of epidemics, and possibly even retarding antibiotic resistance. view more (2009-05-20)
Double threat: Deadly lung disease also linked to heart attacks
Patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) are three times as likely to experience severe coronary events-including heart attacks-than people without the disease. view more (2008-12-05)
New study suggests cause of debilitating skin condition
New findings from researchers at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center and colleagues suggest why some people with kidney failure can develop a rare tightening and swelling of the skin and other organs, including the lungs and heart. view more (2007-09-25)
Ulcerative colitis survey unmasks challenges for patients beyond devastating symptoms
Results released today from the Voices of UC survey of 1,000 ulcerative colitis (UC) patients underscore the extensive burden of the disease. view more (2005-12-08)
Children's Hospital scientists identify possible target for prevention and treatment of pneumonia
Researchers at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC have identified a key protein target that may be a crucial factor in the development of a vaccine to prevent and new therapies to treat pneumonia, the leading killer of children worldwide. view more (2008-02-12)
Drug shows promise in treating dangerous complication of erectile disorder
Thousands of men are afflicted with an embarrassing and painful condition that triggers spontaneous, long-lasting erections. There are limited treatment options, but a solution could be on the way thanks to new research at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston. view more (2009-11-02)
NIH scientists find a novel mechanism that controls the development of autoimmunity
Scientists at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have found a mechanism in the immune systems of mice that can lead to the development of autoimmune disease when turned off. view more (2008-08-14)
Inauguration of the 1st International Conference on Rare Diseases and Orphan Drugs
"The development of orphan drugs for treating rare diseases is completely dependent on an active interaction between academic research and industry," says Jan Carlstedt-Duke, dean of research at Karolinska Institutet. view more (2005-02-15)
Superbug genome sequenced
The genome of a newly-emerging superbug, commonly known as Steno, has just been sequenced. The results reveal an organism with a remarkable capacity for drug resistance. The research was carried out by scientists at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute near Cambridge and the University of Bristol. view more (2008-05-07)
Optical 'frequency comb' can detect the breath of disease
Exhale on a cold winter day and you will see the water vapor coming out of your mouth. Light up your breath with a Nobel-Prize-related tool, and you could potentially detect trace amounts of over 1,000 compounds, some of which provide early warning signs of disease. view more (2008-02-20)
Is RTA a new potential option for the treatment of hydatid cysts?
Current treatment of cystic echinococcosis is surgery or percutaneous aspiration, injection and reaspiration (PAIR) using hypertonic saline or ethanol. view more (2009-07-24)
Senescence in liver cells is found by CSHL scientists to help limit acute tissue damage
Although post-reproductive life in humans is often associated with decline and a loss of powers, an analogous state in certain cells -- called senescence -- is proving to be one of ironic potency. Scientists at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) today reported that a particular class of senescent liver cells orchestrates a sequence of events in... view more... (2008-08-22)
Brain tissue reveals possible genetic trigger for schizophrenia
A study led by scientists from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill may have identified a molecular mechanism involved in the development of schizophrenia. view more (2007-03-29)
Shorter distance on six-minute walk test points up a greater risk of death
