Use of high hydrostatic pressure to inactivate Hepatitis A virus in oysters studied

NOAA/Virginia Sea Grant has awarded Virginia Tech $119,000 to study whether high hydrostatic pressure will inactivate Hepatitis A virus in both shucked and unshucked oysters. The project, led by Daniel Holliman, an M.D. with the High Pressure Processing Laboratory, and Laura Douglas, lab manager, will identify one or more effective high pressure processing schedules. The laboratory is a fa...

Sahara's edge studied from ground, air and space to improve water management

An international team worked on the verge of the Sahara to gather data on the ground and in the air, to be compared with imagery of the same region acquired by ESA satellites. The results will be used in support of an ambitious project to apply satellite remote sensing to improve monitoring and management of vast water aquifers concealed beneath the desert. High-resolution radar as well as...

Inflammation and drugs to control this activity studied in a variety of tumors sites

Inflammation cuts both ways. When invaded by an infectious agent, for example, the body calls on the forces of inflammation to fight and defeat the intruder. But when the biochemical processes of the immune system are either misdirected or chronically turned on, inflammation can lead to adversity, including some forms of cancer. For this reason, scientists are closely studying the link between i...

Links between DNA damage and breast cancer studied

Researchers from the Pacific Northwest Research Institute (PNRI) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have uncovered a pattern of DNA damage in connective tissues in the human breast that could shed light on the early stages of breast cancer and possibly serve as an early warning of a heightened risk of cancer. In the United States, breast cancer is the second lea...

Fat stem cells being studied as option for breast reconstruction

Breast cancer survivors might one day avoid the prospect of invasive breast reconstruction surgery, opting instead for an approach that would involve using stem cells derived from their own fat, suggest University of Pittsburgh researchers who are studying the potential these cells may have for regenerating new breast tissue. In animal models, the researchers hope to prove that an injecti...

The Effectiveness Of Inhaled Corticosteroids Studied

Previous studies have shown inhaled corticosteroids can reduce the mortality rate and number of exacerbations COPD patients experience.// However, results from a study conducted by researchers from the University of Washington show otherwise. Researchers studied more than 2,650 patients with COPD who were prescribed inhaled corticosteroids for at least 80 percent of a 90-day period. Near...

The Link Between Obesity And Lack Of Sleep Studied

Insufficient sleep leads to excessive daytime sleepiness, altered mood, and an increased risk for work-related injuries // and automotive accidents. A recent study suggests that obese and overweight people may be getting less sleep than normal-weight individuals . For the study researchers examined patients' total sleep time per 24 hours in relation to their body mass index. More than 1,...

Risk Factors For Stroke Studied

Study results suggest people who carry a gene that produces a higher level of the amino acid homocysteine have a small increased risk for stroke.// Researchers reviewed medical literature on homocysteine levels and stroke and it was found that previous study results were observational in nature. A standard scientific approach was used to weed out confounding factors by looking at data on...

The Link Between Weight Gain And Breast Cancer Studied

Based on findings of a recent study researchers say weight gain after age 18 can be a significant predictor of breast cancer risk for postmenopausal women who // are not taking hormone replacement therapy. In 1992, researchers sampled nearly 62,000 women, ages 50 to 74, by asking them about their weight at age 18 and their current weight. Since then, the women have been periodically ask...
