A group of Japanese scientists has discovered that cannabinoids can cause some white blood cells to lose their ability to migrate to the sites of infection and inflammation. view more (2006-04-27)
Even mildly premature infants have increased risk of a common respiratory tract infection
Even mildly premature infants (gestational ages of 33 weeks through 36 weeks) have an increased risk of medically attended respiratory syncytial virus infection, which is the leading cause of lower respiratory tract infection in infants and young children and can lead to pneumonia in babies. view more (2009-05-06)
Strategies to cut risky sexual behaviour may do more harm than good
Strategies aimed at changing sexual behaviour to prevent the transmission of HIV should not be assumed to bring benefit and potentially may even do more harm than good, finds a study in this week's BMJ. More rigorous evaluation of such interventions is needed, report the authors. To determine the effectiveness of a brief behavioural intervention... view more... (2001-06-13)
Resident work-hour restrictions yield little improvement in perceived quality of patient care
Research conducted by participants at several medical schools, including co-authors Michael J. Cunningham, M.D., and Roland D. Eavey, M.D., of the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary Pediatric Otolaryngology Service, Department of Otology and Laryngology, Harvard Medical School, has found that reducing the amount of work hours alone for surgical... view more...

Drawing inspiration from nature to build a better radio
MIT engineers have built a fast, ultra-broadband, low-power radio chip, modeled on the human inner ear, that could enable wireless devices capable of receiving cell phone, Internet, radio and television signals. view more (2009-06-04)
Inner ear balance disorders common, associated with falls among older Americans
An estimated 35 percent of U.S. adults age 40 and older have vestibular dysfunction (inner ear balance disorders), and those who do may have a higher risk of falling. view more (2009-05-26)
EGF receptor activation prevents microbes from going more than skin deep
Our skin not only serves as a physical barrier against infection but skin cells themselves can mount an immune response to kill invading microbes by producing antimicrobial polypeptides (AMPs). view more (2006-06-16)

The balance shifts
The risk of contracting a Clostridium difficile infection following operations for which a "prophylactic" antibiotic is given to prevent infection is 21 times greater now than it was just a decade ago, according to researchers from the University of Sherbrooke in Canada. They report their findings in the June 15 issue of Clinical... view more... (2008-05-28)
oes peripheral T-lymphocyte subpopulations correlate with hepatitis B virus load?
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a dynamic process with variable biochemical, virological and histological profiles at different stages of the infection, depending on host and viral factors. Furthermore, this profile may change at a variable pace over time. view more (2009-07-29)
A Different Antiviral For Treating SARS (p 2045)
A preliminary study published as a fast-track research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggests that the antiviral agent glycyrrhizin could be more effective than other antivirals in the treatment of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). Ribavirin is the most commonly used antiviral for treating SARS infection, used in combination... view more... (2003-06-11)
