Dengue and other hemorrhagic fevers: Towards a first potential treatment
Globally, 60 to 100 million people are hit by Dengue, a viral disease transmitted by mosquitoes of the genus Aedes. The most severe form of this disease, which causes blood loss, can lead to a fatal shock-like state (Dengue Shock Syndrome) with or without associated haemorrhage, and is currently increasing in tropical countries. view more (2006-12-26)
High Probability Diagnostics
A lot of diseases are known to the medical science, each of the diseases having its own symptoms. Nevertheless, all diseases have something in common, regardless of the illness cause and the patients` individual reactions. These generalised regularities inherent in all diseases are called general pathology. Physicians can easily recognise... view more... (2002-06-21)
Swine flu: What does it do to pigs?
The effects of H1N1 swine flu have been investigated in a group of piglets. Scientists writing in BioMed Central's open access Virology Journal studied the pathology of the virus, finding that all infected animals showed flu-like symptoms between one and four days after infection and were shedding virus two days after infection. view more (2009-05-11)
The natural history of 'healthy-HCV carriers'
A normal liver is observed in about 10% of HCV infected patients and the natural history of theses so-called "healthy-HCV carriers" is not fully defined. view more (2008-09-24)
Alcoholism-associated molecular adaptations in brain neurocognitive circuits
After many years of heavy drinking, alcohol produces pathological alterations in the brain. In many alcoholics these changes culminate in massive social deterioration and disorders of memory and learning. view more (2008-07-09)
MicroRNA processing and cancer
In an upcoming G&D paper, Dr. Scott Hammond (UNC-Chapel Hill) and colleagues describe a key regulatory step during microRNA biogenesis, which may underlie alterations of microRNA expression in cancer. view more (2006-08-01)
AMPUTATION AND PROSTHESIS OF THE BIG TOE IN ANCIENT EGYPT
Pathological research of human remains in the cemetery of the capital of ancient Egypt suggests that ancient Egyptians were the pioneers of amputation and prosthetic surgery, conclude investigators in a study published in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Andreas Nerlich and colleagues from Ludwig-Maximilians-University, Munich, Germany,... view more... (2000-12-21)

Many patients with sleep apnea also suffer from GI tract conditions
Patients who suffer from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) also tend to have additional gastrointestinal (GI) tract conditions, such as gastric reflux and hiatal hernia, which form at the opening in your diaphragm where your food pipe (esophagus) joins your stomach. view more (2009-10-05)
Cancer: Another step towards medication
The gene Myc is an important factor for the growth of organisms by cell division. It causes the production of a protein which, as a transcription factor, controls the expression of up to 15 % of all human genes. view more (2009-03-18)
Computer simulation at the duodenal stump after gastric resection
There are various types of reconstruction of gastrointestinal continuity after gastric resection. It seems that insufficient attention has been paid to how the geometry and flow conditions affect the gastroduodenal system after distal gastric resection. view more (2009-05-08)
Location Of Gene For Ear Wax Could Increase Understanding Of Apocrine-Gland Development (p 2000)
Japanese authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET describe how a chance discovery of the location for the gene which codes for ear wax could be a useful step towards a better understanding of the apocrine glands. There are two forms of human ear wax, wet and dry, determined by one specific gene. Wet ear wax is common in... view more... (2002-06-05)
Investigators unveil new drug discovery tool for Alzheimer's disease

Scientists watch as peptides control crystal growth with 'switches, throttles and brakes'
By producing some of the highest resolution images of peptides attaching to mineral surfaces, scientists have a deeper understanding how biomolecules manipulate the growth crystals. This research may lead to a new treatment for kidney stones using biomolecules. view more (2009-11-24)
Hero worship - good or bad?
Celebrity worship syndrome suggests that, although following a celebrity can be a positive influence on people's lives, in some extreme cases people admit they would lie, steal or worse if the object of their admiration asked them. These are some of the findings of a new research programme conducted by psychologists at the University of Leicester... view more... (2003-05-12)

Modeling head and neck cancers
In a report to be published in the May 15th issue of G&D, Dr. Xiao-Jing Wang and colleagues at Oregon Health & Science University present a novel model of head and neck cancer, which is expected to become an invaluable tool in the evaluation of biomarkers and therapies to treat this devastating disease. view more (2006-05-15)
SARS - the first comprehensive description of the damage caused by the virus
Research News in the Journal of Pathology Doctors working near to the first outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) Guangdong, China, have just published the first histopathological description of the effects of this viral infection in the Journal of Pathology. Basing their findings on autopsies of three people who died of SARS, Dr... view more... (2003-06-30)
