Once given 'no respect,' cells' tiny RNAS take driver's seat

Ribonucleic acid, or RNA, has long been thought to be important only to translate a gene's DNA into the proteins that are cells' workhorses. But new evidence shows that tiny bits of RNA not used to make proteins actually play central roles in normal biology and in the development of cancers. "Scientists have known for a few years that production of these tiny RNAs, known as microRNAs, is o...

Experimental vaccine protects nonhuman primates when given after exposure to Marburg virus

Using multi-disciplinary analysis that included cognitive, neurophysiologic, virologic, and molecular techniques, the team found both a low-level viral infection in the brain and immune cells that had infiltrated the brain in order to protect against the virus. "As in the rest of the body, in the brain immune cells achieve a level of control of the virus, but are unable to clear the infec...

Fertility drugs given 'all-clear' in new study

Concerns about the use of letrozole, an easy-to-use and inexpensive drug for the treatment of infertility, appear to be unfounded, according to a major study co–authored by Dr. Togas Tulandi, Director of Division of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility, McGill University Health Centre (MUHC) and Chief of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the Jewish General Hospital, and Professor of Obstetrics a...

Experimental vaccine given during pregnancy reduces stillbirths from common virus

Researchers funded by the National Institutes of Health have developed an experimental vaccine that reduces stillbirths among rodents born to mothers infected with cytomegalovirus (CMV)—a common virus that can also cause mental retardation and hearing loss in newborn children who were infected in early fetal life. Estimates place the number of U.S. children born with CMV each year at about...

Wisconsin Economic Summits have given a hand to states progress

MADISON In his often-quoted book, An Inquiry Into the Nature and Causes of The Wealth of Nations, Adam Smith laid down an economic theory that was the 18th century equivalent of todays (sanitized) bumper sticker: Stuff happens.

Epidural given in early labor may not lead to caesarian birth

In a research conducted by Northwestern University about the effects of epidural pain relief on caesarian delivery, it was noted// that epidural analgesic given at the early stages of labor does not increase the incidence of caesarian delivery. 728 pregnant ladies in their final term were observed for the study. All were delivering for the first time. When asked for painkillers, women wh...

More Importance To Be Given To Prenatal Nutrition

A new study shows that infants born under 5.5 pounds because of poor prenatal nutrition have a high risk for developing // type 2 diabetes later in life. Researchers say a pregnant mother's inadequate nutrition isn't the only cause of prenatal malnourishment. Abnormal development of the placenta and its blood vessels and high blood pressure, which damages vessels can also lead to malnour...

The Indian Government has given the nod to conduct Human volunteer trials inorder to develop preventive AIDS vaccines

The Indian Government has recently approved human volunteer trials for the country's second preventive// vaccine against HIV, the virus that leads to AIDS. A vaccine for the developing world, where anti-retroviral drugs are out of reach for millions of HIV-infected people, would be the ultimate prize in the fight against AIDS. But efforts to find one have been hampered by the virus's abil...

Folk medicine is given more to UTI patients

Research suggests that when it comes to treating their children with urinary tract infection,// it seems to be a common practice for the parents to rely on the folk medicines like cranberry juice more than taking the children to the doctors. Most of the time the usage of such types of folk medicine is not reported to the doctors at all. Researchers for the study feel that this brings o...
