U.S. and European Experts Applaud Creation of New Transatlantic Task Force on Global Antibiotic Resistance Threat
Experts on both sides of the Atlantic applaud President Barack Obama and Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt, representing the European Union (EU) Presidency, for establishing a transatlantic task force to address antibiotic resistance, an urgent and growing problem that threatens patient safety and public health worldwide. view more (2009-11-09)
Faster, more accurate tuberculosis test developed
Researchers from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, the Imperial College London, Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia, in Lima, Peru, and other institutions have developed a simple and rapid new tuberculosis (TB) test. view more (2006-10-12)
New Sighting of Soil-Borne Wheat Mosaic Virus (SBWMV)
Following investigation of a sample sent to NIAB and Central Science Laboratory (CSL), two new sites in Kent have been identified with soil-borne wheat mosaic virus (SBWMV). The virus was identified in the UK in Wiltshire for the first time in 1999 and this occurrence appears to have no connection with the Wiltshire site. The work is part of a... view more...

Wheat bran can double the benefits of a high fibre diet in cancer prevention
The research team studied the intestinal and fecal contents of 24 pigs, because their digestive systems most closely resemble ours. The pigs were fed typical Western style diets, high in refined fats and sugars, and then either had their food supplemented with resistant starchsuch as that found in grains, corn, and potatoor wheat bran, or both. view more (1999-11-15)
What is the more suitable for early detection of low abundant lamivudine-resistant mutants?
Lamivudine is an effective antiviral agent for treatment of patients with chronic hepatitis B and advanced liver diseases. However, long-term lamivudine monotherapy leads to the emergence of lamivudine-resistant hepatitis B virus (HBV) mutants in some patients chronically infected with HBV. view more (2008-01-17)
Prescribing of antibiotics to children still at a level to cause drug resistance, warn experts
Regular prescribing of antibiotics to children in the community is sufficient to sustain a high level of antibiotic resistance in the population, warn experts in a study published on bmj.com today. view more (2007-07-27)
Ketamine reduces suicidality in depressed patients
Drug treatment options for depression can take weeks for the beneficial effects to emerge, which is clearly inadequate for those at immediate risk of suicide. view more (2009-09-10)
Tuberculosis must be tackled among socially excluded groups
Tuberculosis cannot be controlled unless the disease is tackled effectively among socially excluded groups. view more (2006-07-07)
Soldiers acquired drug-resistant infections in field hospitals
An outbreak of drug-resistant wound infections among soldiers in Iraq likely came from the hospitals where they were treated, not the battlefield. view more (2007-05-22)
Superbug risk to war wounded
Soldiers who survive severe injuries on battlefields such as those in Iraq and Afghanistan can be at risk from developing infections of their wounds with multidrug resistant bacteria. view more (2009-03-30)
BUSM researchers find gram-negative rods in two Philippine neonatal intensive care units
Researchers at Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) have found a high frequency of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative rods (GNRs) in two of the largest neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) in the city of Manila, Philippines. view more (2009-05-18)
Photodynamic therapy as alternative therapy for periodontal diseases may be beneficial
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) may be an effective way to treat the bacteria associated with periodontal diseases, and could provide a better option than antibiotics or other mechanical methods for treating periodontal diseases, according to a new study published in the March issue of the Journal of Periodontology. view more (2007-03-07)
Study suggests some drug resistance to influenza B medications
Use of certain common antiviral drugs during a recent influenza B epidemic in Japan showed the development of viruses with partial resistance to the drugs, according to a study in the April 4 issue of JAMA. view more (2007-04-04)
The Lancet Oncology and The Lancet Infectious Diseases
THE LANCET ONCOLOGY THE TRUE COST OF A NUCLEAR DETERRENT This month’s editorial covers the recent leaked report from the US Department of Health and Disease Control, showing the patterns of nuclear fallout across the US resulting from Cold War testing. The editorial discusses the impact of these data on cancer incidence and the worldwide... view more... (2002-03-27)
Dog owners more likely to share germs with pets by not washing hands than by sleeping with dog
Dog owners who sleep with their pet or permit licks on the face are in good company. Surveys show that more than half of owners bond with their pets in these ways. view more (2009-01-28)
Stem cells make bone marrow cancer resistant to treatment
Scientists at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center say they have evidence that cancer stem cells for multiple myeloma share many properties with normal stem cells and have multiple ways of resisting chemotherapy and other treatments. view more (2008-01-14)
Variation of normal protein could be key to resistance to common cancer drug
Researchers at the Moores Cancer Center at the University of California, San Diego (UC SD) in La Jolla have found evidence explaining why a common chemotherapy drug, cisplatin, may not always work for every cancer patient. They have shown that when a variant version of a key protein that normally causes cell death is active, patients may be... view more... (2008-08-28)
Study uncovers mechanism of drug resistance in form of lung cancer
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute researchers and their colleagues have demonstrated that a genetic error so scarce it can't be detected with some standard screening equipment is often responsible for the loss of effectiveness of front-line drugs against non-small cell lung cancer. view more (2006-09-07)
Putting a stop to antibiotic resistance with new drugs from seaweed
Scientists have found a new way to prevent life-threatening infections not by killing the bacteria but by preventing them from talking to each other, according to research published today in the journal Microbiology. We`ve found that a group of chemicals called furanones can prevent the build up of communities of bacteria on surfaces such as... view more... (2001-12-21)
Reducing the risks of GM micro-organisms
Scientists have developed a system to increase the safety of genetically modified (GM) microbes for release into the environment. Release of GM micro-organisms is a cause of great concern to many, because the microbes could pass on genes for disease or other harmful traits to others. But, a team of researchers from Spain and Germany believes that... view more... (2003-12-09)
