New Sars like Virus has longer incubation period, finds study LONDON: In a significant finding around the virus that the World Health Organisation now calls "a threat to the entire world" scientists have found that its incubation period - the time over which it can spread among humans without showing any symptoms, is longer than presently thought. The first detailed clinical study of the novel Sars like virus in France suggests found that the virus's incubation period in one of the patients appears to have been 9-12 days - longer than the 1-9 days previously observed. The finding has serious implications for the duration of the quarantine required to rule out infection ...
China buying US hog producer

CHICAGO/LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - When Smithfield Foods Inc. quietly weaned the first of its pigs off the controversial feed additive ractopamine last year, it may have helped open the door for a Chinese counterpart to acquire the world's largest hog producer. Used for more than a decade in the U.S. livestock industry to help pigs quickly build lean muscle instead of fat, the additive had begun to ring alarm bells among some major meat importing countries around the globe. U.S. media reports of ractopamine-fed pigs becoming sick fueled questions among food-safety critics last year about the potential long-term impact on human health. Among worried buyers was China, a nation stung by a ...

Science Daily: May 29, 2013 — Researchers have identified a sub-group of cells that could contribute to prostate cancer recurrence, opening up new ways to treat the disease, which claims more than 3000 lives a year in Australia. Published today in Science Translational Medicine, a study led by Monash University researchers has found prostate cancer cells that survive androgen withdrawal treatment. Previously unidentified, these cells are potential targets for future treatments. As they are present early in disease development, there is the possibility of therapy before the cancer reaches the aggressive, incurable stage. Prostate cancer is the most common form of cancer in men, with ...

The girls noticed that they feel bad if they leave their cell phone near the bed at the time of sleep. For a start, they decided to conduct an experiment to find out how such radiation affects the growth of seeds. They put six containers with seeds of plants in the room where the router was running at full capacity. Six other containers were placed in the room without wi-fi radiation. Twelve days later, it turned out that the seeds in the room with wi-fi did not spring. Scientists also recommend ...
Former Pro-GMO Scientist Speaks Out on the Real Dangers of Genetically Engineered Food

i Who better to speak the truth about the risks posed by genetically modified (GM) foods than Thierry Vrain, a former research scientist for Agriculture Canada? It was Vrain’s job to address public groups and reassure them that GM crops and food were safe, a task he did with considerable knowledge and passion. But Vrain, who once touted GM crops as a technological advancement indicative of sound science and progress, has since started to acknowledge the steady flow of research coming from prestigious labs and published in high-impact journals; research showing that there is significant reason for concern about GM crops – and he has now changed his position. Former Pro-GMO ...
Monday’s medical myth: you can think yourself better

ScienceAlert: Being told people can 'think themselves better' can actually make things more difficult for people battling illness. Of all the cultural beliefs about health and illness that saturate the developed world, there is none so pervasive and deeply held as the idea that you can “battle” an illness by sheer force of will. We admire people like AFL great Jim Stynes who show a brave and positive face to the public when confronted with a diagnosis of cancer, and somehow expect that a positive and determined mindset will help “overcome” the disease. The underlying assumption here is that the mind and body are separate, a philosophical stance known as ...

old news, by now a couple of years old, is that the U. S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) has recommended against routine screening of women aged 40 to 49 years for breast cancer, and also recommended against screening for prostate cancer for men at any age using the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test. The newer news is that a lot of the evidence, perhaps most of it, appears to be contrary to the USPSTF’s recommendations. And the big question is, why did the USPSTF come to these conclusions? Who, or What, Is the USPSTF? Here’s what they say about themselves: “U.S. Preventive Services Task Force The USPSTF is an independent panel of non-Federal experts in ...

Curtin University researchers have found evidence that targeting specific cells in the body can reverse the effects of cancer on the immune system. Dr Connie Jackaman, Early Career Development Fellow at the Curtin Health Innovation Research Institute (CHIRI), is leading a study focused on the capacity of the immune system in older people to deal with cancers. The research tracked particular cells within the immune system of young and geriatric mice, finding that deterioration, caused by mimicked conditions of lung cancers, could be reduced by activating other cell types. Dr Jackaman said that the immune system in elderly people, even those who were healthy, was skewed towards immune ...

Monsanto: Profits Above Human Health by Stephen Lendman On May 25, tens of thousands of people marched against Monsanto. They did so in dozens of countries worldwide. They had good reason. They want consumer protections enacted. They want safe food to eat. They want governments assuring it. They want GMO foods and ingredients labeled. "March Against Monsanto" (MAM) headlined "Why Do We March?" Independent research shows GMO foods and ingredients cause "serious health conditions such as the development of cancer tumors, infertility and birth defects." Former Monsanto executives run the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). An obvious conflict of interest ...

Mimosa Pudica is a small evergreen that grows in Brazil, Asia, Africa, and India. The plant has a number of nicknames, including shameful plant, touch-me-not, and sensitive plant. Mimosa Pudica earned these names because of an interesting quality- its leaves close when they’re touched. In Ayurvedic medicine, Mimosa pudica is known as lajjalu and its inclusion within the system is not because of its dancing leaves, but the therapeutic benefits the compounds within the plant offers. Many hemorrhoid sufferers have experienced relief as a result of this special plant’s pharmacological profile and antioxidant activity.

Most men who experience significant hair loss are none too pleased about it. The thriving business done by the hair-replacement industry attests to many men's discomfort with going bald. But now, new research suggests that balding may be much more than just a cosmetically unappealing problem. In fact, a man who is losing his hair appears to have a substantially greater heart attack risk…and, it seems, where that balding is taking place affects the degree of risk. The study, which was conducted at the University of Tokyo in Japan, compiled information from six independent studies.1 There were a total of 36,990 men participating in all of this combined research. The scientists ...
Boosting Body's Natural Flu Killers as Way to Offset Virus Mutation Problem
Post Date: 2013-05-25 00:27:00 by Tatarewicz
0 Comments
Science Daily: May 23, 2013 — The known difficulty in fighting influenza (flu) is the ability of the flu viruses to mutate and thus evade various medications that were previously found to be effective. Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have shown recently that another, more promising, approach is to focus on improving drugs that boost the body’s natural flu killer system. Emergence of new influenza strains, such as the recent avian influenza (H5N1) and swine influenza (H1N1 2009), can lead to the emergence of severe pandemics that pose a major threat to the entire world population. Recently, the concern regarding the emergence of such a pandemic arose when a new ...

Science Daily: May 23, 2013 — A Missouri University of Science and Technology researcher has developed a new screening method that uses urinalysis to diagnose breast cancer -- and determine its severity -- before it could be detected with a mammogram. A study to confirm this technique's effectiveness is under way at Mercy Breast Center in Springfield, Mo. Dr. Yinfa Ma, Curators' Teaching Professor of chemistry at Missouri S&T, uses a device called a P-scan, to detect the concentration of certain metabolites called pteredines in urine samples. These biomarkers are present in the urine of all human beings, but abnormally high concentrations can signal the presence of ...
How Immune System Peacefully Co-Exists With 'Good' Bacteria

Science Daily: May 22, 2013 — The human gut is loaded with commensal bacteria -- "good" microbes that, among other functions, help the body digest food. The gastrointestinal tract contains literally trillions of such cells, and yet the immune system seemingly turns a blind eye. However, in several chronic human diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), HIV/AIDS, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes, the immune system attacks these normally beneficial bacteria, resulting in chronic inflammation and contributing to disease progression. Share This: 24 Now, researchers may finally understand an important mechanism that keeps this friendly truce intact -- a ...

May 23, 2013 (CIDRAP News) – World Health Organization (WHO) officials and others at the World Health Assembly (WHA) complained today that restrictions on the use of virus samples are delaying the investigation of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), according to news service reports. WHO officials said the problem has to do with restrictions imposed by Erasmus Medical Center in the Netherlands, where the virus was first analyzed and identified as a new species last year, according to the Associated Press (AP). But the scientist who led that research denied any restrictions on use of the virus for research and public health purposes, the AP reported. In a ...

We are entering a new period in MS therapy over the next several years. With a variety of drugs acting through different mechanisms now approved for MS, it is now time to consider whether there is a case for rational polytherapy for MS. In a sense we have been using polytherapy for some time by combining the use of steroids for flares with the approved disease-modifying therapies. It seems likely though that a variety of trials will be appearing over the next few years examining the efficacy and safety of combinations of therapies for MS. In this context the recent appearance of a clinical trial of combination therapy using glatiramer acetate (Copaxone) and interferon (Avonex) therapy ...

Medscape: Vitamin C kills drug-sensitive, multidrug-resistant (MDR), and extensively-drug resistant (XDR) strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in culture as a result of prooxidant effects, according to a report published online May 21 in Nature Communications. The new work builds on the long-standing observation that vitamin C is toxic to M tuberculosis, a Gram-positive bacterium. Experiments in the 1930s showed that only 6% of guinea pigs exposed to the bacteria and given tomato juice became infected compared with 70% of guinea pigs not given the vitamin C–rich juice. In vitro experiments conducted in 1950 confirmed the effect of the vitamin on bacterial cultures, and a study in 20 ...

It's important to stay hydrated, but water may be your best choice, experts say WebMD News WEDNESDAY, May 15 (HealthDay News) -- Drinking large amounts of sugary sodas and fruit drinks might raise your odds for painful kidney stones, a new study finds. Although drinking extra fluids usually helps prevent stones from forming, researchers from Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston warn that beverages may come with varying risks or benefits. Coffee, tea and orange juice, for example, are associated with a lower risk of kidney stone formation. On the other hand, "we found that higher consumption of sugar-sweetened drinks was associated with a higher incidence of kidney ...
