Quitting smoking improves lung function considerably
For smokers with asthma, quitting smoking can improve lung function test scores by more than 15 percent in less than two months. view more (2006-07-17)
'First Aid' for Brain Cells Comes From Blood
In acute ischemic stroke, the blood supply to the brain is restricted. Initially, brain cells die from lack of oxygen. view more (2009-04-17)
Geomagnetic Field And The Sex Of A Child
Researchers from St. Petersburg have ascertained that formation of a child's sex depends, among other things, on the geomagnetic field status at the time of conception. view more (2005-03-25)
UVa Scientists Hot on Trail of Therapies for Deadly Lung Failure
Researchers at the University of Virginia Health System have identified a molecular target, or receptor, for potential drugs to treat acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), a sudden and life-threatening failure of the lung. view more (2006-02-22)
Scientists discover a protein that could revolutionise treatment for inflammatory diseases
Scientists from the University of Glasgow, working in collaboration with Dr Darryl Pappin from Imperial Cancer Research Fund in London, have identified a potent, naturally-produced, anti-inflammatory agent. The research, published in the December issue of Nature Medicine*, in a paper by Dr John Young from Glasgow, could lead to the development of... view more... (1999-11-29)
Rare Lung Disease Cells Indicate Higher Death Risk
Large numbers of certain cells in the lungs of patients diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis may increase their chance of death, UC researchers have discovered. view more (2008-01-17)
Breast cancer intervention reduces depression, inflammation
A psychological intervention for newly diagnosed breast cancer patients with symptoms of depression not only relieves patients' depression but also lowers indicators of inflammation in the blood. view more (2009-09-01)
Genes key to staph disease severity, drug resistance found hitchhiking together
Scientists studying Staphylococcus bacteria, including methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), have discovered a potent staph toxin responsible for disease severity. view more (2009-08-03)
Gains in the fight against acid aspiration lung injury
Doctors are gaining new leverage in the fight against lung injury caused by acid reflux. The paper by Bonnans et al., "Lipoxin A4 regulates bronchial epithelial cell responses to acid injury," appears in the April issue of The American Journal of Pathology and is accompanied by a commentary. view more (2006-05-03)
White blood cells of cancer-resistant mice overwhelm natural defenses of cancer cells
The discoverers of the unique mouse line that is resistant to cancer have begun to pin down how the process works and found that white blood cells in these mice overwhelm normal defenses of cancer cells. view more (2006-11-01)
New potential therapeutic target discovered for genetic disorder -- Barth syndrome
Researchers at NYU Langone Medical Center may have discovered a new targeted intervention for Barth Syndrome (BTHS). BTHS, a sometimes fatal disease, is a serious genetic disorder occurring predominantly in males that leads to infection or heart failure in childhood. view more (2009-03-03)
Protein complementarity may offer new insights into autoimmune diseases
The discovery of "complementary" antibodies against plasminogen in patients with blood vessel inflammation caused by anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibodies (ANCAs) may lead to new approaches to research, testing, and treatment of ANCA vasculitis and other autoimmune diseases, suggests a paper in the December Journal of the American... view more...

St. Jude shows gene test not needed if cancer drug given in low doses
Investigators at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have shown that when the cancer drug irinotecan is given in low doses for multiple days, it eliminates the need to delay treatment to perform costly genetic testing that determines if the patient is at risk for serious treatment side effects, such as neutropenia. view more (2007-06-20)
Helicobacter pylori can multiply in autophagic vesicles
Helicobacter pylori, a Gram-negative, flagellated, microaerophilic bacterium, can selectively colonize in the human stomach. Its infection is widespread throughout the world, and is present in about 50% of the global human population with 80% in developing countries and 20-50% in industrialized countries. view more (2009-01-28)
Reactive Oxygen's Role in Metastasis
Researchers at the Burnham Institute for Medical Research (Burnham) have discovered that reactive oxygen species, such as superoxide and hydrogen peroxide, play a key role in forming invadopodia, cellular protrusions implicated in cancer cell migration and tumor metastasis. view more (2009-09-16)
