St. Jude study solves mystery of mammalian ears
A 30-year scientific debate over how specialized cells in the inner ear amplify sound in mammals appears to have been settled more in favor of bouncing cell bodies rather than vibrating, hair-like cilia. view more (2007-07-30)
AMPATH: Restoring lives not just immune systems
he HIV/AIDS epidemic in Sub-Saharan Africa is decimating populations, depressing economies, deepening poverty and destabilizing traditional social orders. view more (2007-11-27)
Low-pitch treatment alleviates ringing sound of tinnitus
For those who pumped up the volume one too many times, UC Irvine researchers may have found a treatment for the hearing damage loud music can cause. view more (2007-02-15)
SAMOUZA - Transverse aid
The Division of International Health Care Research (IHCAR) at Karolinska Institutet's Department of Public Health Sciences has been allocated 9 milion Swedish kronor by SIDA to implement the SAMOUZA project, "Towards safer motherhood in southern Africa in the era of AIDS", during the period 2003-2005. The aim of the project is to analyse... view more... (2003-09-03)
AIDS discovered in wild chimpanzees
Although the AIDS virus (HIV-1) entered the human population through chimpanzees, scientists have long believed that chimpanzees don't develop AIDS. view more (2009-07-23)
Technology in ship's bridges can lead to accidents
Technological aids designed to prevent accidents at sea sometimes have the opposite effect as a contributory factor in collisions and groundings. In a new dissertation from Linköping University in Sweden it is proposed that cognitive and social aspects should be in focus in the design of conning bridges, rather than technology and components.... view more...

Genetic cause of innate resistance to HIV/AIDS
Some people may be naturally resistant to infection with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. The results of a study conducted by Dr. Nicole Bernard of the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC) bring us closer to a genetic explanation. Her study findings were published on July 16 in the journal AIDS. view more (2008-07-17)
Study aims to improve sex education for deaf pupils
British parents are to be quizzed about their children's sex education in a unique study that hopes to improve the way the subject is taught to deaf pupils. view more (2008-06-12)
ANRS, the French National Agency for AIDS Research, and Africa: a practical priority
Africa is the continent hardest-hit by the HIV/AIDS pandemic. Two-thirds of all people infected by HIV worldwide live in sub-Saharan Africa. The gap between North and South continues to increase. In most industrialized countries, including France, the incidence rate of HIV infection has stabilized in recent years and the mortality rate has fallen... view more... (1999-09-07)
New findings contradict a prevailing belief about the inner ear
A healthy ear emits soft sounds in response to the sounds that travel in. Detectable with sensitive microphones, these otoacoustic emissions help doctors test newborns' hearing. A deaf ear doesn't produce these echoes. view more (2008-02-13)
Healthy human immune system cells can respond to HIV-1
AIDS patients' failure to clear HIV-1 might not be due to the inability of the human immune system to recognise the virus, as was previously thought. view more (2006-05-18)
MRC Study Shows Highly Active Anti-retroviral Therapy Dramatically Cuts Deaths From AIDS
A dramatic increase in life expectancy for people infected with HIV has been achieved since the introduction of Highly Active Anti-Retroviral Therapy (HAART), say Medical Research Council (MRC) scientists today (Friday 17 October 2003). New research conducted at the MRC Clinical Trials Unit in London and published in this week's issue of The... view more... (2003-10-16)
Active hearing process in mosquitoes
A mathematical model has explained some of the remarkable features of mosquito hearing. In particular, the male can hear the faintest beats of the female's wings and yet is not deafened by loud noises. view more (2009-11-20)
Why were the HIV prevention trials in commercial sex workers abandoned?
One promising approach to help stem the global HIV epidemic is to give commercial sex workers an HIV medication (such as the drug tenofovir) before they have high risk sex in the hope of reducing their chances of becoming infected, an approach called "pre-exposure prophylaxis" (PREP). view more (2005-07-19)
Pitt researchers find candidates for new HIV drugs
While studying an HIV protein that plays an essential role in AIDS progression, researchers at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine have discovered compounds that show promise as novel treatments for the disease. view more (2009-10-14)
Global HIV Vaccine Enterprise Announces Strategic Plan
A Much-Needed Shot in the Arm for HIV Vaccine Development International efforts towards developing a vaccine against HIV infection have been given a much-needed boost by the publication today of the Global HIV/AIDS Vaccine Enterprise's scientific strategic plan, published online in the freely available, open-access global health journal PLoS... view more...

AIDS inflicts specific pattern of brain damage, reveals UCLA/Pittsburgh imaging study
A new UCLA/University of Pittsburgh imaging study for the first time shows the selective pattern of destruction inflicted by AIDS on brain regions that control motor, language and sensory functions. view more (2005-10-11)
Taking up music so you can hear
Anyone with an MP3 device -- just about every man, woman and child on the planet today, it seems -- has a notion of the majesty of music, of the primal place it holds in the human imagination. view more (2009-08-18)
Why some primates, but not humans, can live with immunodeficiency viruses and not progress to AIDS
Key differences in immune system signaling and the production of specific immune regulatory molecules may explain why some primates are able to live with an immunodeficiency virus infection without progressing to AIDS-like illness, unlike other primate species, including rhesus macaques and humans, that succumb to disease. view more (2008-09-17)
Chinese and American paleontologists discover a new Mesozoic mammal
An international team of paleontologists has discovered a new species of mammal that lived 123 million years ago in what is now the Liaoning Province in northeastern China. view more (2009-10-09)
