The European Respiratory Society (ERS) and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) have published their jointly developed European Union Standards for Tuberculosis Care (ESTC). The 21 patient-centred standards aim to guide healthcare workers to ensure optimal diagnosis, treatment and prevention of TB in Europe – with nearly 74,000 reported TB cases in […]
Scientists from the University of Liverpool’s School of Environmental Sciences are working with computer modelling specialists from C-MMACS in India to predict areas of the country that are at most risk of malaria outbreaks, following changes in monsoon rainfall. The number of heavy rainfall events in India has increased over the past 50 years, but […]
BlueGnome is pleased to announce the results of the first randomised prospective IVF study of pre-implantation chromosome analysis using their 24sure array platform. The study by Yang et al (Pacific Reproductive Center,Torrance, USA) has demonstrated that selectively implanting euploid embryos, with a normal number of chromosomes, significantly increases pregnancy rates. The study blindly randomised 103 […]
Fibroid uterine tumours affect an estimated 15 million women in the United States, causing irregular bleeding, anaemia, pain, and infertility. Despite the high prevalence of the tumours, which occur in 60 percent of women by age 45, the molecular cause has been unknown. New Northwestern Medicine pre-clinical research has for the first time identified the […]
The study is the first to directly show how low testosterone levels in fat tissue can be instrumental in the onset of Type 2 diabetes. Testosterone is present throughout the body. Low testosterone levels are linked to obesity, a known risk factor for diabetes. It acts on fat cells through molecules known as androgen receptors. […]
Resistances to drugs are the main reason why breast cancer cannot effectively be fought in many patients. Scientists from the German Cancer Research Center (Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum, DKFZ) have now succeeded in restoring the sensitivity of resistant breast cancer cells to tamoxifen using a tiny RNA molecule. These snippets of RNA repress production of a protein […]
Low oxygen levels in cells may be a primary cause of uncontrollable tumour growth in some cancers, according to a new University of Georgia study. The authors’ findings run counter to widely accepted beliefs that genetic mutations are responsible for cancer growth. If hypoxia, or low oxygen levels in cells, is proven to be a […]
Researchers in the University of Leicester’s Department of Cell Physiology and Pharmacology have identified a cellular mechanism that could underlie the development of tinnitus following exposure to loud noises. The discovery could lead to novel tinnitus treatments, and investigations into potential drugs to prevent tinnitus are currently underway. Tinnitus is a sensation of phantom sounds, […]
As the NHS cervical cancer screening programme (CSP) rolls out high risk human papilloma virus (HR-HPV) testing for the triage of women with borderline or low-grade cervical abnormalities across England, the Roche cobas HPV test has already enabled more than 30 laboratories to be ready to offer an HPV testing service. In the financial year […]
Even mild head injuries can cause significant abnormalities in brain function that last for several days, which may explain the neurological symptoms experienced by some individuals who have experienced a head injury associated with sports, accidents or combat, according to a study by Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine researchers. These findings advance research in […]
