For children and young adults who suffer from a rare and debilitating disorder called neonatal-onset multisystem inflammatory disease (NOMID), a drug called anakinra brings marked improvement both in symptoms and the inflammation underlying the disease, a new study shows. view more (2006-08-11)
New ECCO 13 studies probe impact of haematological cancer therapy on future fertility
Despite the proven positives of chemotherapy and radiotherapy in improving clinical outcomes for cancer sufferers, these survival benefits can come at a cost. view more (2005-11-04)
Bioprospecting not biopiracy
By training professionals in high-biodiversity regions to advance the drug discovery process in-country, a novel program drives drug discovery costs down as it promotes tropical biodiversity conservation. view more (2006-12-08)
Study links blood transfusions to surgery complications in women
Women die and get infections more often than men after heart surgery because they tend to receive more blood transfusions, which boost the risks of bad outcomes. view more (2007-12-03)
Probiotic milk may help prevent common childhood infections
Probiotic milk (milk containing bacteria that colonise the intestine and stimulate antibody production) may slightly reduce respiratory infections among children attending day care centres, finds a study in this week's BMJ. These findings suggest that these bacteria may help prevent common infections, particularly in high risk children. Over a... view more... (2001-05-30)
Vaccine could cut complications after surgery
A vaccine has been developed, which could prevent inflammation and illness caused by certain bacterial infections following major surgery, scientists heard today (Tuesday 09 April 2002) at the spring meeting of the Society for General Microbiology at the University of Warwick. Dr Elliott Bennett-Guerrero, Chief of Cardiac Anesthesia at Columbia... view more... (2002-04-03)
Hydrolysed infant formula prevents childhood allergies in high risk children
Although breast-feeding is recommended to mothers as being the healthiest way to feed babies, it is not always possible. New evidence from a Cochrane review concludes that where exclusive breast-feeding is not possible for an infant, hydrolysed protein formulae in high-risk infants help prevent childhood allergies. Many young children who develop... view more... (2003-11-20)
A case of cecal volvulus
Cecal volvulus is axial twisting that occurs involving the cecum, terminal ileum, and ascending colon. Rarely, it may take the form of upward and anterior folding of the ascending colon ("cecal bascule"). view more (2009-06-12)
CU researchers announce new technique for rapidly detecting illness-causing bacteria in food
Cornell University scientists have developed a rapid, less costly and sensitive new technique for detecting group A streptococcus, the bacteria that cause scarlet fever. Details will be announced today at the Institute of Food Technologists Annual Meeting and Food Expo in New Orleans. view more (2005-07-19)
Cranberries contain possible anti-caries/anti-plaque agents
Scientists have discovered that the humble cranberry harbors several anti-oxidants (flavonoids) that show the ability to counteract the damaging effects of the bacterium Streptococcus mutans, which causes dental caries (tooth decay). view more (2006-06-29)
MIT-led team ID's cell mechanics of hallmark malaria protein
During the first 24 hours of invasion by the malaria-inducing parasite Plasmodium falciparum, red blood cells start to lose their ability to deform and squeeze through tiny blood vessels--one of the hallmarks of the deadly disease that infects nearly 400 million people each year. view more (2007-05-29)
Reduced body temperature extends lifespan in study from the Scripps Research Institute
"Our study shows it is possible to increase lifespan in mice by modest but prolonged lowering of core body temperature," said Bruno Conti, an associate professor at Scripps Research who led the study. "This longer lifespan was attained independent of calorie restriction." view more (2006-11-03)
Deaths from rodent virus raise need for tracking system
After the deaths of seven people from a virus transmitted through organ donation in the past two years, authorities are recommending that a tracking system be put in place to monitor patients following transplantation, and until then, physicians should be more vigilant in looking for signs of infection transmitted through transplantation. view more (2006-05-25)
Genetic finding suggests alternative treatment strategy for common, complex skin disorders
A genetic finding by researchers at the National Institutes of Health provides new insight into the cause of a series of related, common and complex illnesses - including hay fever and asthma as well as the skin disorders eczema and psoriasis - and suggests a novel therapeutic approach. view more (2006-04-26)
