Study finds unexpected bacterial diversity on human skin
The health of our skin - one of the body's first lines of defense against illness and injury - depends upon the delicate balance between our own cells and the millions of bacteria and other one-celled microbes that live on its surface. view more (2009-05-29)
MRSA pre-screening effective in reducing otolaryngic surgical infection rates
Pre-operative screening of patients for methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) may be an effective way to reduce infection rates following otolaryngic surgeries, according to new research published in the January 2009 issue of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery. view more (2009-01-05)
'Invisible' bacteria dupe the human immune system
Scientists at the University of York have characterised an important new step in the mechanism used by bacteria to evade our immune system. view more (2008-02-20)
Ensonido Technology: Surround Sound to Go
With the recently introduced MP3 Surround audio format, 5.1-channel material will soon be widely available. Since MP3 Surround files are just slightly bigger than stereo MP3 files, multi-channel sound even with flash MP3 players will become feasible. Together with the new Ensonido technology, surround sound can now be enjoyed over stereo... view more... (2005-03-09)

Meningitis in infancy linked to developmental problems
Children who get meningitis in their first year of life have a 10-fold increased risk of severe or moderate disability at 5 years of age compared with other children, concludes a study in this week's BMJ. These findings provide a complete picture of the range of problems experienced by children from England and Wales who have had meningitis in... view more... (2001-09-05)
Tamiflu effective for treatment and prevention of influenza in children 1 year and older
Tamiflu (oseltamivir) significantly reduces illness severity and duration in children one year and older, particularly if given within 24 hours of symptom onset, according to new data presented at the World Society for Pediatric Infectious Disease (WISPID) meeting in Bangkok 15-18 November. view more (2007-11-16)

Looking through the eyes of a mouse, scientists monitor circulating cells in its bloodstream
A team of researchers from the Wellman Center for Photomedicine at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and Harvard Medical School (HMS) have developed an optical device that allows them to peer through the eyes of a mouse and monitor the cells passing through its bloodstream. view more (2007-12-04)
One step closer to an artificial nerve cell
Scientists at the Swedish medical university Karolinska Institutet and Linköping University are well on the way to creating the first artificial nerve cell that can communicate specifically with nerve cells in the body using neurotransmitters. view more (2009-07-08)
Pioneering discoveries recognized in field of immune deficiencies in children (so-called bubble children)
Professor Alain Fischer from Paris is being awarded the prestigious M'Īrta Philipson Prize in Children's Medicine from Karolinska Institutet in Sweden for his research on immune deficiencies in children. Many children are particularly susceptible to infections and often contract ear inflammations, for example. Every year a few children are born... view more... (2003-01-27)
Getting a leg up on whale and dolphin evolution
When the ancestors of living cetaceans-whales, dolphins and porpoises-first dipped their toes into water, a series of evolutionary changes were sparked that ultimately nestled these swimming mammals into the larger hoofed animal group. view more (2009-09-25)

This technique replaces the ear with a system that stimulates the hearing nerve... view more... (2002-11-29)
Clues to gene expression in cystic fibrosis will guide research
Genetics tests could help provide cystic fibrosis (CF) patients with targeted treatment in future, pilot study authors suggest. Results from a French clinical trial published today in BMC Medicine show how a small percentage of CF sufferers with a rare genetic stop mutation responded positively to gentamicin treatment. view more (2007-03-29)
Early hearing tests improve children's recovery from meningitis
Hearing loss and its impact in social interactions can be potentially minimized in children with bacterial meningitis through early identification, according to a study conducted at Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) in Houston. view more (2006-09-19)

Defining gene's role may lead to prevention of dangerous corn toxin
Discovery that a specific gene is integral to both fungal invasion of corn and development of a potentially deadly toxin in the kernels may lead to ways to control the pathogen and the poison. view more (2008-03-26)
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)
