Targeting wolbachia, doxycycline reduces pathology of lymphatic filariasis
Lymphatic filariasis, a mosquito-borne tropical disease that afflicts 120 million people worldwide, can cause debilitating swelling of the legs and genital areas. View More (2006-09-20)


UQ research finds speech disorders can be assessed from a distance
There should be no barriers to providing high-quality speech pathology services, according to University of Queensland PhD graduate Dr Anne Hill. View More (2009-01-12)



Questions remain over existence of 'new syndrome' in autistic children
This week, the BMJ questions the existence of a new bowel condition in autistic children dubbed "autistic enterocolitis" by Dr Andrew Wakefield and colleagues in a now infamous and recently retracted paper published by the Lancet in 1998. View More (2010-04-16)


Stopping autoimmunity before it strikes
Current research describes a new method to track the development of autoimmune diseases before the onset of symptoms. The related report by Zangani et al, "Tracking early autoimmune disease by bioluminescent imaging of NF-κB activation reveals pathology in multiple organ systems," appears in the April 2009 issue of The American Journal of Pathology. View More (2009-03-25)


New study reveals doctors' reluctance to ask bereaved parents to consent to post-mortems in clinical trials context may be misplaced
The parents of babies involved in clinical trials who die during the trial period may be more willing to agree to their children undergoing post-mortem (PM) examinations than doctors believe them to be, new research from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSTHM) reveals today. The research is published in a series of three papers in the Fetal and Neonatal Edition of the latest... View More (2004-04-22)


TGen study identifies compounds that could slow down Alzheimer's disease
A family of naturally occurring plant compounds could help prevent or delay memory loss associated with Alzheimer's disease, according to a new study by the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen). View More (2011-05-27)


Georgetown researchers lead discovery expected to significantly change biomedical research
In a major step that could revolutionize biomedical research, scientists have discovered a way to keep normal cells as well as tumor cells taken from an individual cancer patient alive in the laboratory - which previously had not been possible.  View More (2011-12-19)


SUNY researcher issued patent for virtual telemicroscope
After nearly ten years of research and development, scientists at SUNY Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn and Peking University in Beijing were awarded a United States patent for their virtual telemicroscope. This patented software permits off-site pathologists to diagnose cancer or other diseases in patients living in remote locations around the world. View More (2008-03-28)


Delay in surgery not likely to worsen tumors in men with low-risk prostate cancer
Johns Hopkins experts have found that men enrolled in an active surveillance program for prostate cancer that eventually needed surgery to remove their prostates fared just as well as men who opted to remove the gland immediately, except if a follow-up biopsy during surveillance showed high-grade cancer. View More (2010-06-09)


New staging technique might save bladders in some bladder cancer patients
Pathologists today (March 9, 2009) reported encouraging results from a new technique to increase the accuracy of staging bladder cancer tumors that could reduce the need to remove bladders from some patients. View More (2009-03-09)


Study links primary insomnia to a neurochemical abnormality
A research abstract that will be presented on Tuesday, June 9, at SLEEP 2009, the 23rd Annual Meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies, is the first demonstration of a specific neurochemical abnormality in adults with primary insomnia (PI), providing greater insight to the limited understanding of the condition's pathology. View More (2009-06-09)


Health groups issue cervical cancer screening guidelines
The American Cancer Society (ACS), the American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology (ASCCP), and the American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP) have released new guidelines for the prevention and early detection of cervical cancer. View More (2012-03-15)


Range of diagnostic spinal fluid tests needed to differentiate concurrent brain diseases
Teasing out the exact type or types of dementia someone suffers from is no easy task; neurodegenerative brain diseases share common pathology and often co-occur. Researchers from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania are continuing efforts to differentiate diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) from frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD), as FTLD is often...

Depression is a risk factor rather than early sign of Alzheimer's disease
A new study by researchers at Rush University Medical Center supports the idea that depression is truly a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease rather than a subtle early sign of its underlying pathology. View More (2008-04-08)


New tool probes function of rice genes
A new tool for investigating the rice genome has been developed by researchers at UC Davis led by Pamela Ronald, professor of plant pathology. View More (2008-10-09)


Software for analyzing digital pathology images proving its usefulness
As tissue slides are more routinely digitized to aid interpretation, a software program whose design was led by the University of Michigan Health System is proving its utility. View More (2012-01-16)


3T MRI plays significant role in detecting prostate cancer, study says
The use of MRI without endorectal coil can detect prostate cancer and provide undistorted images with diagnostic image quality and accurate tumor localization, according to a recent study conducted by researchers from The Ohio State University in Columbus, OH. View More (2008-04-14)


Vaccine thwarts the tangles of Alzheimer's
A new study by NYU Medical Center researchers shows for the first time that the immune system can combat the pathological form of tau protein, a key protein implicated in Alzheimer's disease. View More (2007-08-22)


More genes for Lou Gehrig's disease identified, according to Penn researchers
In recent months a spate of mutations have been found in a disease protein called TDP-43 that is implicated in two neurodegenerative disorders: amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also called Lou Gehrig's disease, and certain types of frontotemporal dementia (FTD). These mutations could potentially become candidates for drug targets. View More (2008-04-08)


Umbilical cord blood cell therapy in an animal model of Alzheimer's disease
A novel strategy based on targeted immune suppression using human umbilical cord blood cells may improve the pathology and cognitive decline associated with Alzheimer's disease. View More (2008-03-27)
