Link found between steroid anti-inflammatories and heart disease
Results of a population study in Scotland will reveal today at the British Endocrine Societies 2003 meeting that patients taking anti-inflammatory steroid drugs are at a greater risk of heart disease. Taking high doses of glucocorticoids, commonly prescribed to alleviate conditions including asthma, rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel... view more... (2003-03-19)
Cell-surface sugar defects may trigger nerve damage in multiple sclerosis patients
Defects on cell-surface sugars may promote the short-term inflammation and long-term neurodegeneration that occurs in the central nervous system of multiple sclerosis patients, according to University of California, Irvine researchers. view more (2007-09-21)
Multiple Sclerosis: new MRI contrast medium enables early diagnosis in animal model
In an animal model of multiple sclerosis (MS), neuroradiologists and neurologists of the University hospitals of Heidelberg and Würzburg have been able to visualize inflammatory tissue damage, most of which had remained unrecognized up to now, with the aid of a new contrast medium, Gadofluorine M, in magnetic resonance imaging. view more (2008-08-04)
Resolvins have the potential to resolve periodontal inflammation and restore tissue health
Periodontal (gum) disease is a chronic inflammation initiated by bacteria that affect the gums and bone supporting the teeth, and may eventually result in tissue and tooth loss. view more (2009-04-06)
Immune genes adapt to parasites
Thank parasites for making some of our immune proteins into the inflammatory defenders they are today. view more (2009-05-26)
New Discovery in Preventing Diabetic Complications
A new study sheds light on the response to infection in people with type 2 diabetes. These individuals develop diabetes associated with obesity. Findings from this study revealed that controlling a specific protein produced by the body, known as a cytokine, reduces the expression of other molecules and helps control inflammation. This is... view more... (2004-08-23)
Getting better with a little help from our 'micro' friends
A naturally occurring molecule made by symbiotic gut bacteria may offer a new type of treatment for inflammatory bowel disease, according to scientists at the California Institute of Technology. view more (2008-05-29)
Do patients with inflammatory bowel disease receive optimal care?
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic recurrent gastrointestinal disease. The disease has a relatively higher morbidity in young adults, in whom growth, education, employment and wellbeing all are adversely influenced. view more (2008-02-25)
Researchers call for holistic approach in treating rheumatoid arthritis
Researchers have today called for a holistic approach in the management and treatment of patients with rheumatoid arthritis in order to reduce mortality and improve patient outcome. The call for action coincides with the start of EULAR 2001, the prestigious annual congress of the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) which opens today... view more... (2001-06-12)
Mesalamine linked to cancer protection for high risk inflammatory bowel disease patients
Researchers found that mesalamine use among patients with inflammatory bowel disease was associated with a decrease in incidence of colorectal cancer when comparing cases and controls. view more (2007-10-15)
Researchers identify molecular basis of inflammatory bowel disease
Inflammatory bowel diseases, such as Crohn's disease and Ulcerative Colitis, severely impair the lives of more than four million people worldwide. The development of effective therapies against these diseases requires an understanding of their underlying molecular mechanisms. Researchers from the Universities of Cologne and Mainz in Germany, the... view more... (2007-03-15)
New therapeutic options for diabetes-related tissue injury
Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by altered glucose tolerance and impaired lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, and is associated with a number of complications directly resulting from hyperglycemiainduced inflammation. view more (2008-07-07)
Being a young person with an inflammatory intestinal illness
Two ENI (European Nursing Initiative) registered nurses, Marina Garcia Lepetit and Sheila S'¡nchez G'³mez have been awarded the first two prizes in the 7th Research Competition, organised annually on a Spanish State state-wide basis by the Sant Pau Hospital in Barcelona. Their two pieces of research work, "Being a young person with an... view more... (2004-01-20)
Potential new treatment approach for severe asthma
Researchers have uncovered a potentially new treatment approach for severe asthma, by blocking a powerful immune system chemical, present in large amounts in patients with the severe form of the disease. view more (2005-09-15)
Discovery of new family of genetic mutations involved in inflammatory intestinal disease
The discovery of new genetic mutations involved in inflammatory intestinal disorders could lead to a better understanding of these common conditions. view more (2008-06-03)
Anti-inflammatory drugs following hip replacement surgery could harm rather than help
The use of anti-inflammatory drugs following hip replacement surgery could do more harm than good. view more (2006-09-11)
Scientists discover a direct route from the brain to the immune system
It used to be dogma that the brain was shut away from the actions of the immune system, shielded from the outside forces of nature. But that's not how it is at all. In fact, thanks to the scientific detective work of Kevin Tracey, MD, it turns out that the brain talks directly to the immune system, sending commands that control the body's... view more...

Binge drinkers let down guard against infection
As if a bad hangover wasn't enough of a deterrent, new research has shown how binge drinking weakens the body's ability to fight off infection for at least 24 hours afterwards. view more (2009-09-18)
New culprit for viral infections among elderly -- an overactive immune response
Researchers at Yale School of Medicine have found that exaggerated responses of the immune system explain why the elderly succumb to viral infections more readily than younger people. view more (2009-11-19)
Combining multiple treatments improves multiple sclerosis therapy
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (CNS) in which white blood cells known as lymphocytes attack the myelin insulation on nerves in the spinal cord and brain. view more (2006-03-17)
