Vaccine for Ebola virus
One of the world's deadliest diseases, caused by the Ebola virus, may finally be preventable thanks to US and Canadian researchers, who have successfully tested several Ebola vaccines in primates and are now looking to adapt them for human use. view more (2008-03-31)
Hay fever may be best treated with self-adjusted dosing
Hay fever, the often seasonal allergy that affects between 10 and 20 percent of the American population, is best controlled through a course of patient-adjusted dosing. view more (2008-10-01)
New Study Identifies Louse-Borne Diseases That Ravaged Napoleon's Army
Napoleon marched into Russia in the summer of 1812 with a half-million soldiers. Only a few thousand staggered out again, victims of war, weather, and disease. view more (2005-12-15)
Study identifies source of fever
With the finding that fever is produced by the action of a hormone on a specific site in the brain, scientists have answered a key question as to how this adaptive function helps to protect the body during bacterial infection and other types of illness. view more (2007-08-06)
Scientists working to protect NI from Bird Flu
Queen's scientists are involved in two international projects aimed to protect Northern Ireland's agri-food industry from Bird Flu and African Swine Fever, a disease which kills pigs. view more (2008-09-17)
Early promise for treatment of Ebola (p 1953)
Embargoed 0001 h (London time) 12 December 2003. Preliminary findings of an animal study in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that scientists have taken an important step towards a possible treatment strategy for the deadly Ebola virus. Haemorragic fever from the Ebola virus is fatal in up to 80%of cases in humans. The virus is thought to... view more... (2003-12-10)
Fever after smallpox vaccination tied to individual genetic variations
St. Louis researchers have identified common DNA variations that underlie susceptibility to fever after smallpox vaccination. view more (2007-06-19)
Hot Clues To A Cool Nose
In an attack of hay fever, the temperature of the nose rises. Effective medication prevents this too. An infrared camera provides non-contact images of the changes. Researchers can use these images to determine how reliable and effective anti-allergic agents are. When summer comes, it brings with it severe sneezing attacks and itching eyes. People... view more... (2004-07-08)
UTSA infectious disease researchers advancing vaccine against Valley fever
Medical mycologists in The South Texas Center for Emerging Infectious Diseases (STCEID) and the Department of Biology at The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) have significantly advanced the fight against San Joaquin Valley Fever, a respiratory infection of humans, commonly called Valley Fever, which is caused by the Coccidioides fungus. view more (2009-07-07)
PREDICTION OF CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME AND MOOD DISORDERS AFTER INFECTION (p 1946)
Certain infections can trigger chronic fatigue syndromes (CFS) in a minority of people infected, but the reason is unknown. In a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET, Peter White and colleagues from St Bartholomews Hospital and the London School of Medicine, Queen Mary, University of London, UK, describe factors that predict or are associated... view more...

Discovery may help defang viruses
Researchers may be able to tinker with a single amino acid of an enzyme that helps viruses multiply to render them harmless, according to molecular biologists who say the discovery could pave the way for a fast and cheap method of making vaccines. view more (2007-08-29)

Simple diagnosis of anaemia and malaria
Research funded by NWO has shown that African mothers greatly over-report fever in their children. As a result the children are given anti-malaria drugs too often. African households seldom possess a thermometer. Another outcome of the study is that it opens up the possibility of detecting anaemia at village level using a new and simple method.... view more...

Anthroposophic lifestyle reduces risk of allergic disease in children
Certain features of the anthroposophic lifestyle, such as restrictive use of antibiotics and fever antipyretics, reduce the risk of allergic disease in children, according to a new study. view more (2006-01-11)
Self-Hypnosis Was Found To Be Effective On Hay Fever Symptoms
A group of researchers of the University of Basel has performed a randomized controlled trial on the use of self-hypnosis (which was likely to induce relaxation) on a hay fever symptoms. Many people suffer from hay fever symptoms. Hypnosis has proved to be a useful adjunct in the treatment of conditions where allergic phenomena have an important... view more... (2005-04-21)
New West Nile and Japanese encephalitis vaccines produced
University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston researchers have developed new vaccines to protect against West Nile and Japanese encephalitis viruses. The investigators created the vaccines using an innovative technique that they believe could also enable the development of new vaccines against other diseases, such as yellow fever and dengue... view more...

A European project leads to a new diagnosis of the Ebola fever
Research teams involved in a European project have developed and tested in epidemic conditions a new diagnosis technique of infections by the Ebola virus. This has been achieved while a new haemorrhagic Ebola fever epidemic is striking Gabon since December. For Research Commissioner Philippe Busquin, "this advance shows the interest of an... view more... (2002-02-26)
Genetic factors are linked to fever following smallpox vaccination
New evidence supports the link between genetic factors and certain adverse events related to smallpox vaccination. view more (2007-06-14)
New test could help catch serious infections in babies
A simple blood test may help detect serious bacterial infections (SBIs) like urinary tract infections and blood stream infections in young infants who come to the emergency department (ED) with fevers that have no clear cause. view more (2008-10-06)
Genome of yellow fever/dengue fever mosquito sequenced
Developing new strategies to prevent and control yellow fever and dengue fever has become more possible with the completion of the first draft of the genome sequence of Aedes aegypti mosquito by scientists led by Vishvanath Nene at The Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR) and David Severson at the University of Notre Dame. view more (2007-05-18)
