A possible new phase for rheumatoid arthritis treatment.
The pathology of rheumatoid arthritis within the first few months after symptom onset is distinct from that of the early phases of other inflammatory joint diseases and also of established rheumatoid arthritis. New research published today in Arthritis Research & Therapy found that very early rheumatoid arthritis is characterised by a distinct... view more... (2005-04-05)
Innate immune system targets asthma-linked fungus for destruction
A new study shows that the innate immune system of humans is capable of killing a fungus linked to airway inflammation, chronic rhinosinusitis and bronchial asthma. view more (2008-09-03)
Study finds more effective treatment for pneumonia following influenza
Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have demonstrated a more effective treatment for bacterial pneumonia following influenza. view more (2009-01-09)
Steroids aid recovery from pneumonia, UT Southwestern researchers say
Adding corticosteroids to traditional antimicrobial therapy might help people with pneumonia recover more quickly than with antibiotics alone, UT Southwestern Medical Center scientists have found. view more (2008-10-15)
Spinal fluid proteins signal Lou Gehrig's disease
High levels of certain proteins in the spinal fluid could signal the onset of Lou Gehrig's disease, according to researchers. The discovery of these biomarkers may lead to diagnostic kits for early diagnosis, accurately measuring the progression of the disease and monitoring the effects of treatment. view more (2009-01-29)
Nanoparticle treatment for burns curbs infection, reduces inflammation
Treating second-degree burns with a nanoemulsion lotion sharply curbs bacterial growth and reduces inflammation that otherwise can jeopardize recovery, University of Michigan scientists have shown in initial laboratory studies. view more (2009-09-15)
Blood cells linked to heart attacks, other inflammatory diseases
Two human blood cells that help fight blood loss, infection, and inflammation are responsible as well for starting a series of molecular events that results in overproduction of Cox-2, an enzyme involved in heart attack, stroke, atherosclerosis, and other inflammatory diseases. view more (2006-10-09)
Childhood infections stunt growth, shorten life
Records from four European countries show that, on average, survivors of generations with rampant childhood infection-measured by cohort mortality rates at young ages-were shorter and died sooner than counterparts from generations with less childhood disease. view more (2005-12-27)
An herbal extract inhibits the development of pancreatic cancer
An herb recently found to kill pancreatic cancer cells also appears to inhibit development of pancreatic cancer as a result of its anti-inflammatory properties, according to researchers from the Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson. view more (2009-04-20)
Breakthrough Promised In Detecting Atherosclerosis
A study led by a team of researchers at Oregon Health & Science University has demonstrated for the first time that molecular imaging with contrast-enhanced ultrasound and targeted microbubbles is effective in detecting at a very early stage inflammatory processes that lead to atherosclerosis. view more (2007-08-21)
Yale discovery suggests protein may play a role in severe asthma
A protein measured in a simple blood test may be a new biomarker to identify patients with the most serious form of asthma, Yale School of Medicine researchers report today in the New England Journal of Medicine. view more (2007-11-15)
Clue to normal-tension glaucoma; herpes infection and corneal transplants
The July issue of Ophthalmology, the journal of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, includes two studies that may influence clinical treatment of serious eye conditions. view more (2009-07-01)
Study shows risk of acute pancreatitis low with statins
New research reveals that while cholesterol-lowering drugs do increase the risk of painful inflammation of the pancreas, the side effect is relatively rare, according to Sonal Singh, M.D., from Wake Forest University School of Medicine, and colleagues. view more (2007-01-02)
Inflammation may cause preterm labor and fetal deaths
Inflammation from bacterial infections is linked to preterm births and deaths, according to researchers from Case Western Reserve University's School of Dental Medicine and the Case School of Medicine. view more (2007-08-09)
Cell that triggers symptoms in allergy attacks can also limit damage, Stanford researchers find
A blood cell known as a troublemaker for triggering the itch and inflammation in allergy attacks, the mast cell, can also calm down the flare-ups. view more (2007-09-04)
Chronic fatigue syndrome linked to stomach virus
Chronic fatigue syndrome, also known as ME (myalgic encephalitis), is linked to a stomach virus, suggests research published ahead of print in Journal of Clinical Pathology. view more (2007-09-14)
MU Researchers Identify Proteins that Play Important Role in Blood Vessel Dysfunction in Type 2 Diabetes
According to the American Heart Association, three-fourths of people with diabetes die of some form of heart or blood-vessel disease. view more (2008-10-07)
New evidence that people make aspirin's active principle -- salicylic acid
Scientists in the United Kingdom are reporting new evidence that humans can make their own salicylic acid (SA) - the material formed when aspirin breaks down in the body. view more (2008-12-23)
Estrogen therapy could be dangerous for women with existing heart risk
Hormone therapy could accentuate certain pre-existing heart disease risk factors and a heart health evaluation should become the norm when considering estrogen replacement, new research suggests. view more (2008-11-26)
Gene chip technology shows potential for identifying life-threatening blood infection
Right now there's no rapid way to diagnose sepsis, a fast-moving blood infection that is a leading cause of death in hospital intensive care units. The illness unleashes a powerful inflammatory response that can quickly overwhelm the body, causing organ failure and death, often within days. view more (2006-12-20)
