No evidence for immune system overload after triple jab MMR
There is no evidence that the triple MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine causes immune system overload and makes children more vulnerable to serious bacterial infection, finds a study in Archives of Disease in Childhood. If anything, the jab seems to protect children, the study shows. Researchers from the Public Health Laboratory Service... view more... (2003-02-18)
Childhood infections stunt growth, shorten life
Records from four European countries show that, on average, survivors of generations with rampant childhood infection-measured by cohort mortality rates at young ages-were shorter and died sooner than counterparts from generations with less childhood disease. view more (2005-12-27)
Anti-cold, anti-flu product cuts recurrent colds by more than half, study shows
he results of a new study to be published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal show that COLD-fX®, an anti-flu, anti-cold pill, reduced the incidence and frequency of recurrent colds by more than half. It also cut the duration of colds and significantly reduced their severity. view more (2005-10-25)
Study Examines Role of Helicobacter Pylori in Esophageal Cancer Development
Infection with bacteria that can cause peptic ulcers and distal stomach cancer may be associated with a reduced risk of a type of esophageal cancer called adenocarcinoma, according to a study in the March 3 issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. However, that same study found that people infected with the bacteria, called... view more... (2004-03-03)
Exercising our immune system
Elite athletes - often perceived as the epitome of health and fitness - may be more susceptible to common illness and are therefore proving useful in helping scientists understand more about the immune system. view more (2007-12-04)
Should noninvasive ventilation be considered a high-risk procedure during an epidemic?
Contrary to current policies recommending that non-invasive ventilation be avoided during an infectious outbreak, the author of a commentary in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal) argues that it should be used expeditiously in this setting. view more (2009-10-13)
Infections possible cause of arteriosclerosis in children
The fact that infections among adults can increase the risk of heart attacks and strokes is now well established by several hundred scientific studies. Both heart attacks and strokes are expressions of arteriosclerosis (thickening of the arteries, previously termed hardening of the arteries). New research from the Section for Pediatric Cardiology... view more... (2003-02-17)
Use of antibiotics for acne may increase risk of common infectious illness
Individuals treated with antibiotics for acne for more than six weeks were more than twice as likely to develop an upper respiratory tract infection within one year as individuals with acne who were not treated with antibiotics. view more (2005-09-19)
PREDICTION OF CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME AND MOOD DISORDERS AFTER INFECTION (p 1946)
Certain infections can trigger chronic fatigue syndromes (CFS) in a minority of people infected, but the reason is unknown. In a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET, Peter White and colleagues from St Bartholomews Hospital and the London School of Medicine, Queen Mary, University of London, UK, describe factors that predict or are associated... view more...

Elderly have higher risk for cardiovascular, respiratory disease
New data from a four-year study of 11.5 million Medicare enrollees show that short-term exposure to fine particle air pollution from such sources as motor vehicle exhaust and power plant emissions significantly increases the risk for cardiovascular and respiratory disease among people over 65 years of age. view more (2006-03-08)
Novel virus detection identifies new viruses in study of respiratory infections and asthma attacks
A new study has found an unexpected number of viruses and viral subtypes in patients with respiratory tract infections (RTIs). The technique used in the study may help identify new viruses associated with human diseases. view more (2007-09-07)
