His team found that nutrient delivery to the baby was restricted and levels of an important developmental hormone, IGF-1, were reduced, causing... view more... (2003-03-19)
Donors' health associated with risk of infection among recipients of corneal transplants
Corneal grafts obtained from donors dying in the hospital or with cancer may be associated with an increased risk of infection for the recipient, according to a report in the February issue of Archives of Ophthalmology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2008-02-12)
Researchers capture bacterial infection on film
Whilst most studies of bacterial infection are done after the death of the infected organism, this system developed by scientists at the University of Bath and University of Exeter is the first to follow the progress of infection in real-time with living organisms. view more (2009-07-28)
HEPATITIS B INFECTION AT AN ALTERNATIVE THERAPY CENTRE
A study in this week's issue of THE LANCET emphasises the continuing risk of transmission of bloodborne viruses in health-care settings where skin-piercing procedures are used. In more developed countries, such as the USA and UK, the prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is low. George Webster and colleagues describe the epidemiology of... view more...

PET Scans Could Provide Insight Into HIV-1 Progression (pp 945, 959)
An article and a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET provide preliminary data suggesting that positron emission tomography (PET) scans could identify the effect of HIV-1 infection on the body's lymphatic system. Authors of the studies suggest that activation of specific lymph nodes could determine the stage of HIV-1 infection, with... view more... (2003-09-17)
Not enough evidence that multivitamins prevent infections in the elderly

Bacterial infections in premature babies more common than previously realized
Premature babies are subject to a host of threats that can result in fetal/neonatal disease. In a study published in the January 2008 issue of the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology, researchers from the University of Alabama-Birmingham Medical School and the Drexel University College of Medicine found that genital mycoplasmas are a... view more...

Cancer-causing virus associated with higher risk of new HIV infection
Infection with anal human papillomavirus (HPV), a virus that can cause anal and cervical cancers, is associated with a higher risk of new HIV infection in previously HIV-negative men who have sex with men (MSM), according to new UCSF research. view more (2009-05-01)
Are HIV Infection And Personality Linked?
Currently, HIV is one of the most widely spread epidemics in the world. The specificity of the mode of transmission, the well-known severity of the prognosis, and the kind of therapies used are peculiarities of this illness.

Hospital infection control strategies for antibiotic-resistant organisms
Hand-washing, a clean environment, appropriate infection barriers and early identification of patients at high risk of colonization with a transmissible microorganism remain the essential measures to prevent and control infection. view more (2009-03-16)
'Nurse cells' make life and death decisions for infection-fighting cells
"Nurse cells" play an important role in deciding which developing infection-fighting cells, called T cells, live and which die, according to research funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and reported in the June issue of the journal Experimental Biology and Medicine. view more (2007-05-31)
