Finding that could shed light on 'golden staph,' candida and allergies
Recent scientific findings explain why patients with a rare immunodeficiency disorder are unusually susceptible to certain common infections. By revealing the exact molecular mechanisms involved, they also give us clues as to why some 'healthy' people are more prone to these infections than others, and suggest potential treatments. view more (2008-07-01)
NIH researchers discover protein that appears to regulate bone mass loss, the cause of osteoporosis
An estimated ten million Americans suffer from osteoporosis, and another 34 million Americans are at risk of developing the disease, which is characterized by a severe loss of bone mineral density, fragile bones and an increased risk of hip, spine and wrist fractures. view more (2007-03-06)
Gas cooking has a harmful effect on the lung function of adolescents
Gas cooking has a harmful effect on the lung function of girls who are susceptible to allergies, concludes research in Thorax. Over 700 Italian school children aged 11-13 years were interviewed by a physician and categorised according to how often they were in the kitchen while the mother cooked using a gas stove. Lung function measurements were... view more... (2001-06-14)
Vaccine new treatment for allergies?
A vaccine against allergies. This may be the eventual result of research at Uppsala university in Sweden. New findings are presented by Anna Ledin in her doctoral dissertation. She vaccinated dogs and rats against their own IgE antibodies, and shows that their allergic symptoms diminished. The type of antibody called IgE is part of the body's... view more... (2004-05-27)
UT Southwestern tests new asthma medicine targeting vulnerable inner-city children
UT Southwestern Medical Center is one of a handful of top research institutions evaluating a promising new medication researchers hope can reduce the severity and frequency of asthma attacks in inner-city children, a population known to have a high prevalence of severe asthma. view more (2006-10-19)
Evidence of estrogen and progesterone hormone allergy has been discovered by Texas researchers
Some women with menstrual cycle disorders like asthma and migraine headaches may be experiencing allergies to their own estrogen and progesterone hormones, Texas researchers have discovered. view more (2006-03-31)
Early exposure to other children lowers adult risk of hay fever but increases risk of asthma
Children who live with several siblings or who go to nurseries have less hay fever, but more asthma as adults, suggests a large international study in Thorax. The findings are based on interviews with over 18,500 adults aged 20 to 44 from 36 countries in Europe, the USA, Australia and New Zealand. Blood samples were also taken from over 13,000... view more... (2002-10-25)
Ancient antibody molecule offers clues to how humans evolved allergies
Scientists funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) have discovered how evolution may have lumbered humans with allergy problems. view more (2008-06-13)
Mouse model underestimates the critical role of Tyk2 in human immune system
A new study identifies a human Tyk2 deficiency and definitively links this molecule with multiple cytokine signals that are critical for the human immune responses. view more (2006-11-10)
Friendly bacteria in alcoholic milkshake could fight food allergies
Feeding babies alcoholic milk may help to protect against some food allergies. Kefir, a traditional fermented drink, is consumed in Eastern Europe as a health food, and is often used to wean babies, as it is easily digested. view more (2006-10-16)

Researchers from University of Bergen have found that trees, which are a main resource for desert people and their flocks, are in significant decline in the hyper-arid Eastern Desert of Egypt. view more (2007-02-14)
Researchers find cause of severe allergic reaction to cancer drug
Clinicians have been perplexed by the fact that some patients given the drug cetuximab-an immune-based therapy commonly used to treat persons diagnosed with head and neck cancer, or colon cancer-have a severe and rapid adverse reaction to the drug. view more (2008-03-13)
Study casts doubt over value of popular PMS treatment
Treatment of premenstrual syndrome with the hormone progesterone or progestogens (a group of drugs similar to progesterone) is unlikely to be effective, despite the continued popularity of these treatments in the United Kingdom and the United States, concludes a study in this week's BMJ. Researchers at Keele University reviewed 14 trials of... view more... (2001-10-03)
Researchers demonstrate potential mechanism of food allergy
Researchers have identified one of the proteins that may be responsible for causing food allergies, which could lead to the development of more accurate non-invasive tests to identify true food allergies. view more (2006-07-24)
Little Evidence Behind Bronchodilator Therapy for Cystic Fibrosis
Little evidence exists to support the widespread use of bronchodilators to treat children and adults with cystic fibrosis, according to a new systematic review of published research. view more (2005-10-26)
Perinatal environment influences aggression in children
It's a well-documented fact that children from zero to two can be spontaneously aggressive and that boys can be among the worse culprits. Even after being socialized, seven percent of boys will continue to be hyper-aggressive until the age of nine. view more (2009-03-11)
Exposure to environmental tobacco smoke causes respiratory symptoms in healthy adults
Over time, inhaling environmental tobacco smoke (ETS)-a process often called "passive smoking"-can cause otherwise healthy adults to develop chronic respiratory symptoms. view more (2006-11-15)
Gulf War Syndrome triggered by smells of war

Seventeen per cent of veterans believe they have Gulf war syndrome
Seventeen per cent of Gulf war veterans believe they have Gulf war syndrome, find researchers in this week's BMJ. The study has implications for future health protection programmes intended to protect against the threat of chemical and biological warfare. Questionnaires were sent to a large random sample of British service personnel who served in... view more... (2001-08-29)
