Details of the life cycle of SARS coronavirus
A team of scientists studying Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) has, for the first time, described how the SARS virus manufactures several of the materials required for making copies of itself. "It is essential, when you are looking for ways to stop a disease, that you know exactly how viruses make copies of themselves and... view more... (2003-07-08)
The small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the ampulla of vater
Ampullary small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma is extremely rare and has only been documented in few case reports and retrospective study. The patients with ampullary small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma usually presented after the age of 60 years, and a male predilection was observed. view more (2008-09-25)
Henry Ford Hospital study: A MRSA strain linked to high death rates
A strain of MRSA that causes bloodstream infections is five times more lethal than other strains and has shown to have some resistance to the potent antibiotic drug vancomycin used to treat MRSA, according to a Henry Ford Hospital study. view more (2009-11-02)
Lung Damage From SARS Could Be From Immune Response To Infection
Results of a three-week follow-up study of 75 people with SARS from the Amoy Garden housing block in Hong Kong provide a new insight into the progression of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). The study, fast-tracked for early publication, is published on THE LANCET'S website - www.thelancet.com A major outbreak of SARS involving 321... view more... (2003-05-08)
Making hospitals safer from infection
"One small water line feeding one hospital faucet alone can house millions of bacteria," said international Legionella expert Janet Stout, Ph.D., urging public health and infection control officers to be proactive against Legionella and other waterborne microbes that contribute to soaring hospital infection rates. view more (2007-12-21)
Antibiotics: EUR13 million to step up EU research on antibiotic resistance
Today 200 scientists meet in Rome at the EU conference on "The Role of Research in Combating Antibiotic Resistance". It was organised by the European Commission together with the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ESCMID). Antibiotics, once hailed as a panacea to combat bacterial infections, seem to be more... view more... (2003-11-27)
Keep genome data freely accessible (p 1099)
This week's lead editorial discusses the benefits and potential risks of allowing genomic information to be freely available on the internet-and supports the recent report by the US National Research Council recommending that such information should remain freely accessible to all. view more (2004-09-22)
Legionnaire's bacterial proteins work together to survive
Proteins within the bacteria that cause Legionnaire's disease can kidnap their own molecular "coffin" and carry it to a safe place within the cell, ensuring their survival, Yale School of Medicine researchers report in Nature Wednesday. view more (2007-10-24)
Corticosteroids associated with poor outcomes, death in the trauma intensive care unit
Patients in the trauma intensive care unit who receive corticosteroids may have more infections, longer stays in intensive care or on a ventilator and a higher death rate than those who do not. view more (2006-02-21)
Scientists identify molecular structure of key viral protein
Scientists at Northwestern University have determined the molecular structure of a viral protein, the parainfluenza virus 5 fusion (F) protein. view more (2006-01-05)
Cholesterol-lowering drugs may be useful in an influenza pandemic
Recent concerns about the possibility of a serious influenza pandemic have spurred many countries to start stockpiling vaccines and antiviral agents. view more (2006-06-14)
Study shows copper could help control MRSA contamination
A new study by scientists at the University of Southampton suggests that MRSA contamination can be reduced by using copper alloys for surfaces in healthcare facilities. Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a virulent organism, essentially resistant to all beta-lactam antibiotics (for example: penicillins, ampicillins,... view more... (2004-07-06)
