Risk of infertility in women triples after common inflammatory bowel disease surgery
The risk of infertility in women triples after the most major surgery for the inflammatory bowel disease ulcerative colitis, suggests research published ahead of print in the journal Gut. view more (2006-06-14)
Biodegradable polymers show promise for improving treatment of acute inflammatory diseases
A family of biodegradable polymers called polyketals and their derivatives may improve treatment for such inflammatory illnesses as acute lung injury, acute liver failure and inflammatory bowel disease by delivering drugs, proteins and snips of ribonucleic acid to disease locations in the body. view more (2008-08-21)
Key protein regulating inflammation may prove relevant to controlling sepsis
Scientists at Singapore's Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology (IMCB), under the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), have identified the protein, WIP1, as the molecular "brake" that curbs severe inflammation in the body. view more (2009-05-15)
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)
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)
Light to moderate drinking reduces risk of cardiac events, death
Older adults who consume one to seven alcoholic beverages a week may live longer and have a reduced risk for cardiac events than those who do not drink-an association that appears independent of the anti-inflammatory effects of alcohol. view more (2006-07-25)
Inflammatory response to infection and injury may worsen dementia
Inflammation in the brain resulting from infection or injury may accelerate the progress of dementia, research funded by the Wellcome Trust suggests. view more (2008-09-17)
Researchers find new way to attack inflammation in Graves' eye disease
A small group of patients with severe Graves' eye disease experienced rapid improvement of their symptoms - and improved vision - following treatment with the drug rituximab. view more (2009-11-09)
Forsyth scientists find linkages between serotonin reuptake inhibitors and bone mass
Scientists at The Forsyth Institute have found that fluoxetine (Prozac), a drug used in the treatment of depression and obsessive-compulsive disorders, increases bone mass. view more (2006-10-13)
Personalized therapy for asthma and COPD could soon be here
Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have defined a new type of immune response that is activated in patients with severe asthma and COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). Their discovery could dramatically improve diagnosis and treatment of patients with chronic inflammatory lung disease. view more (2008-05-19)
Surface bacteria maintain skin's healthy balance
On the skin's surface, bacteria are abundant, diverse and constant, but inflammation is undesirable. Research at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine now shows that the normal bacteria living on the skin surface trigger a pathway that prevents excessive inflammation after injury. view more (2009-11-23)
Breast cancer more aggressive among obese women
Women with breast cancer have more aggressive disease and lower survival rates if they are overweight or obese, according to findings published in the March 15 issue of Clinical Cancer Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research. view more (2008-03-14)
Blocking immune cell action increases Alzheimer's-associated protein deposits
The immune system's response against amyloid-beta, the protein that forms plaques in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease, appears to protect the brain from damage in early stages of the devastating neurological disorder. view more (2007-03-28)
OHSU finds association between Epstein-Barr virus, inflammatory diseases of the mouth
Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University's School of Dentistry (www.ohsu.edu/sod) have found that a significant percentage of dental patients with the inflammatory diseases irreversible pulpitis and apical periodontitis also have the Epstein-Barr virus. view more (2008-11-11)
Geisinger study: Inflammatory disease causes blindness
People suffering from a type of connective tissue disease characterized by inflammation of arteries in the head are three times more likely to experience blindness, new Geisinger research shows. view more (2008-06-17)
Olive oil contains natural anti-inflammatory agent
A naturally occurring chemical found in extra-virgin olive oils is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent, report scientists from the Monell Chemical Senses Center and collaborators at the University of Pennsylvania, The University of the Sciences in Philadelphia, and Firmenich, Inc. view more (2005-09-01)
Scientists use PET scans to monitor lung inflammation noninvasively
A noninvasive approach for assessing lung inflammation should accelerate efforts to develop drugs for inflammatory lung conditions like cystic fibrosis and pneumonia, scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis report. view more (2006-03-09)
Study Underway to Find an Alternative Cure for Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis
Two research studies evaluating dietary changes and complementary medicine for the treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) have been launched at Rush University Medical Center. view more (2008-06-17)
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)
COX2 inhibitor could offer benefits over other anti-inflammatory drugs for osteoarthritis (pp 639, 665, 675)
Results of an international multi-centre study in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that the COX2 inhibitor lumiracoxib could be an effective treatment for osteoarthritis-its use was associated with an 80% reduction in gastric complications compared with other conventional anti-inflammatory drugs. The use of non-selective non-steroidal... view more... (2004-08-18)
