| Racial disparities in pediatric appendicitis treatment tied to hospital type Posted: 28 Dec 2012 10:37 AM PST A new study describes the role of hospital type in race-based treatment disparities among pediatric appendicitis patients.  |
| 56% of female university students get drunk in record time, Spanish study suggests Posted: 28 Dec 2012 05:40 AM PST Researchers have studied university students' lifestyles; their analysis, which includes alcohol and illegal drug consumption habits, sport and food, concludes that most students indulge in unhealthy behavior. One of the main results of the study points to the high consumption of alcohol.  |
| Trying to halt hepatitis C's molecular hijacking Posted: 27 Dec 2012 02:33 PM PST Researchers have figured out intimate details of how the hepatitis C virus takes over an invaded cell, a breakthrough that could point to way for new treatments for the virus.  |
| Staphylococcus aureus: Why it just gets up your nose Posted: 27 Dec 2012 02:33 PM PST Researchers have identified a mechanism by which the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus colonizes our nasal passages. The study shows for the first time that a protein located on the bacterial surface called clumping factor B has high affinity for the skin protein loricrin.  |
| Disease burden links ecology to economic growth Posted: 27 Dec 2012 02:33 PM PST A new study finds that vector-borne and parasitic diseases have substantial effects on economic development across the globe, and are major drivers of differences in income between tropical and temperate countries. The burden of these diseases is, in turn, determined by underlying ecological factors: it is predicted to rise as biodiversity falls. This has significant implications for the economics of health care policy in developing countries, and advances our understanding of how ecological conditions can affect economic growth.  |
| The factor that could determine future breast cancer treatment Posted: 27 Dec 2012 02:33 PM PST Australian scientists have shown how a 'transcription factor' causes breast cancer to develop an aggressive subtype that lacks sensitivity to oestrogen and does not respond to anti-oestrogen therapies such as Tamoxifen and aromatase inhibitors. Transcription factors are molecules that switch genes on or off. In this case, the transcription factor known as 'ELF5' inhibits sensitivity to oestrogen very early in the life of a breast cancer cell.  |
| Scientists home in on cause of osteoarthritis pain Posted: 27 Dec 2012 02:30 PM PST Researchers have identified a molecular mechanism central to the development of osteoarthritis (OA) pain, a finding that could have major implications for future treatment of this often-debilitating condition.  |
| Cholesterol drug shows promise in fighting effects of malaria Posted: 27 Dec 2012 02:30 PM PST Researchers have discovered that adding lovastatin, a widely used cholesterol-lowering drug, to traditional antimalarial treatment decreases neuroinflammation and protects against cognitive impairment in a mouse model of cerebral malaria.  |
