Scientists uncork a potential secret of red wine's health benefits
Scientists from Scotland and Singapore have unraveled a mystery that has perplexed scientists since red wine was first discovered to have health benefits: how does resveratrol control inflammation? view more (2009-07-31)
No evidence that MMR vaccine is associated with autism or bowel disease
There is no evidence that MMR or single measles vaccines are associated with autism or inflammatory bowel disease, researchers announced today. Their conclusion follows the most in-depth analysis of the scientific literature to date, and provides clear reassurance for parents and health professionals regarding the safety of MMR vaccination. Their... view more... (2002-06-11)
Why could ethyl pyruvate attenuate severe acute pancreatitis?
Excessive activation of inflammatory mediator cascade during SAP is a major cause of distant organ injury and the high mortality. view more (2008-10-13)
AN EARLY MARKER FOR ALZHEIMER-TYPE DEMENTIA?
A group of investigators of the University of Cagliari found an interesting association between chemokinines and dementia in Down's syndrome, which may have far reaching implications. People with Down`s syndrome (DS) show early Alzheimer-like dementia. It has been suggested that the pro-inflammatory cytokine class plays a role in Alzheimer`s... view more... (2002-08-05)
Large dose dexamethasone plays important roles in severe acute pancreatitis
Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is a fatal systemic disease featuring acute onset, serious conditions, high incidence of complications and 20 - 30% mortality, mainly due to multiple organ failure at its early stage. view more (2007-11-05)
UCLA cancer researchers first to link intestinal inflammation with systemic chromosome damage
UCLA scientists have linked for the first time intestinal inflammation with systemic chromosome damage in mice, a finding that may lead to the early identification and treatment of human inflammatory disorders. view more (2009-06-01)
New study shows health benefits of probiotic could extend to the entire body
Data from a recent study demonstrate the anti-inflammatory and pathogen protection benefits of Bifidobacterium infantis 35624 a probiotic bacterial strain of human origin. view more (2008-08-25)
Combined effect of proteins saves lives in cases of pneumonia
An effective host defence to the most prevalent form of pneumonia is only obtained if two proteins combine their forces. Dutch researcher Anita Rijneveld made this discovery during her PhD research at the Academic Medical Centre, University of Amsterdam. Using mice infected with the bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae (the bacterium which causes... view more... (2003-05-16)
Immune system activated in schizophrenia
Researchers at the Swedish medical university Karolinska Institutet have discovered that patients with recent-onset schizophrenia have higher levels of inflammatory substances in their brains. Their findings offer hope of being able to treat schizophrenia with drugs that affect the immune system. view more (2009-11-18)
Commonly used ulcer drugs may offer treatment potential in Alzheimer's disease
In a new study, published in the May issue of Elsevier's Experimental Neurology, scientists at the University of British Columbia have discovered that drugs commonly used to treat ulcers have significant neuroprotective properties, which appear to be enhanced when used in combination with ibuprofen, a widely used anti-inflammatory drug. view more (2009-04-22)
Cooking with gas may increase inflammatory activity in the lungs
Cooking with gas may increase inflammatory activity in the lungs, suggests a study in Occupational and Environmental Medicine. Teflon filters were used to collect any particulate matter pollution emitted from gas and electric cookers. The residue was then applied to cultured cells that normally line the fine branching tubes of the lungs. The cells... view more... (2001-02-10)
Component of red wine quells inflammation in chronic inflammatory lung disease (COPD)
A component of red wine, resveratrol, seems to damp down the inflammatory process in the progressive lung disease COPD, finds a small study in Thorax. So effective was resveratrol in laboratory tests that the authors suggest that the compound could be developed to treat the disease. COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) is irreversible and... view more... (2003-10-24)
Revolutionary approach for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease
Ghent scientists at VIB (the Flanders Interuniversity Institute for Biotechnology) are developing what could be a revolutionary new approach for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD): dairy bacteria that produce a natural anti-inflammatory therapeutic substance in the intestine. The results of this research are being published this... view more... (2000-08-31)
Discovery of genetic defect may lead to better treatments for common gut diseases
New findings related to an uncommon genetic disorder may impact the diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), the most common chronic gastrointestinal illness in children and teens. Two million Americans have IBD which involves inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. view more (2009-10-09)
Two drugs may stabilize plaques in atherosclerosis
Two drugs that a Wake Forest University School of Medicine research team has been investigating for lupus for several years may stabilize atherosclerotic plaque in the walls of arteries and help avert heart attacks and strokes. view more (2006-11-13)
Scientists identify a septic shock susceptibility gene
Septic shock often follows a bacterial infection, and is characterized by the overwhelming release of pro-inflammatory cytokines by the body's immune system. view more (2006-11-03)
Depression predicts increases in inflammatory protein linked to heart disease
Which comes first, depression or inflammation? To help solve this long standing chicken and egg conundrum, researchers led by Jesse Stewart, Ph.D., assistant professor of psychology at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis asked two critical questions. Does depression lead to elevated inflammatory proteins in the human body? Or does an... view more... (2009-10-06)
Cytokine resistance contributes to pathology of type 2 diabetes
In a study appearing this month in the Journal of Immunology, researchers at the University of Illinois describe how an impaired anti-inflammatory response plays a role in the pathology of type 2 diabetes. view more (2007-06-18)
Unfavourable blood fat levels predict rheumatoid arthritis up to 10 years later
An unfavourable ratio of blood fats could herald the development of the inflammatory joint disease rheumatoid arthritis up to 10 years later, suggests research published ahead of print in the Annals of Rheumatic Diseases. view more (2006-06-05)
