Strategies to cut risky sexual behaviour may do more harm than good
Strategies aimed at changing sexual behaviour to prevent the transmission of HIV should not be assumed to bring benefit and potentially may even do more harm than good, finds a study in this week's BMJ. More rigorous evaluation of such interventions is needed, report the authors. To determine the effectiveness of a brief behavioural intervention... view more... (2001-06-13)
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)
U of M researchers find new, more effective treatment for toxic shock syndrome
Researchers at the University of Minnesota and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have developed a new therapeutic that neutralizes Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) more effectively than other treatments. view more (2007-05-22)
Low vitamin E intake during pregnancy can lead to childhood asthma
Children whose mothers had a low intake of vitamin E during pregnancy are more likely to develop wheezing and asthma by age five. view more (2006-09-01)
UIC researchers make promising finding in severe lung disease
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago have identified a novel function for an enzyme that plays a role in the tissue injury in acute respiratory distress syndrome, also known as ARDS. view more (2008-06-30)
Broccoli may help protect against respiratory conditions like asthma
Here's another reason to eat your broccoli: UCLA researchers report that a naturally occurring compound found in broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables may help protect against respiratory inflammation that causes conditions like asthma, allergic rhinitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. view more (2009-03-03)
Mayo researchers discover how measles virus spreads (in its host)
Measles, one of the most common contagious diseases, has been thought to enter the body through the surface of airways and lungs, like many other major viruses. view more (2008-06-23)
Journal SLEEP: Children with OSA have abnormal respiratory-related evoked potentials
Children with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) have abnormal respiratory-related evoked potentials compared to other children their age. view more (2008-03-03)
Smoking ban associated with rapid improvement in health of bar workers
Bar workers in Scotland showed significant improvements in respiratory symptoms and lung function within 2 months following a ban on smoking in confined public places. view more (2006-10-11)
EGF receptor activation prevents microbes from going more than skin deep
Our skin not only serves as a physical barrier against infection but skin cells themselves can mount an immune response to kill invading microbes by producing antimicrobial polypeptides (AMPs). view more (2006-06-16)
Sepsis Could Be Underestimated In New-born Babies (p 1953)
UK authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that the incidence of disease caused by group B streptococcal infection in babies is underestimated because the 'gold standard' methods for bacterial detection may result in falsely negative results. Around one in 1000 babies experience a serious immune response (sepsis) to... view more... (2003-06-04)
Attention: Extra-hepatic manifestation of hepatitis C virus infection
In 1994, the team of Tchernev and Petrova from Alexandrovska Hospital in Sofia examined a female patient with liver cirrhosis caused by chronic Hepatitis C virus (HCV). view more (2008-01-17)
A meaty, salty, starchy diet may impact chronic lung disease
A new study finds that eating mostly meat, refined starches, and sodium may increase the likelihood of developing chronic respiratory symptoms, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). view more (2005-11-16)
Bid To Aid Diagnosis Of Infections In Joint Replacement Surgery
A team of scientists and doctors at the University of Edinburgh are using new laboratory techniques which will lead to improved treatment for patients experiencing problems with joint replacement. The multi-disciplinary team will try to establish if using molecular techniques can set a 'gold standard' to allow doctors to know before surgery is... view more... (2002-04-24)
