Bacteria collection sheds light on urinary tract infections

...ach their bladder. Fifty percent of all women will experience at least one episode of UTIs during their lifetime. UTIs are typically treated with antibiotics. The researchers found that the E.coli causing the UTIs matched genetically with a sample of E.coli obtained from an animal source. They used E.coli samp...

HIV Patients May Be at Risk of Heart Problems When Taking Protease Inhibitor Drugs

...re taking protease inhibitors, and the numbers who experience these unexpected side effects are very low -- much less than 1 percent." Co-investigator Michael Ackerman, M.D., Ph.D. agrees that the benefits of the drugs far outweigh the risks. "Our findings should not jeopardize the availability of protease inh...

First-ever Compounds To Target Only Metastatic Cells Are Highly Effective Against Breast, Prostate, And Colon Cancers

"Metastatic disease is such a tough problem, and these compounds could provide patients with a brand new kind of h...

Researchers discover molecule that causes secondary stroke

... elevated bilirubin, but hardly any BOXes, did not experience a secondary stroke. When bilirubin is elevated, says team member Gail Pyne-Geithman, PhD, it must be exposed to powerful oxidizers that cause the production of significant amounts of the BOXes. The correlation between elevated BOXes, bilirubin and o...
