Retrovirus struck ancestors of chimpanzees and gorillas millions of years ago, but did not affect ancestral humans

The ancestors of chimpanzees and gorillas were infected with a deadly retrovirus about three to four million years ago, but there is no evidence it infected ancestors of modern-day humans, according to research by genome scientists. The virus struck after humans had split off the evolutionary tree from primates, researchers said. The infection may have played a role in the evolution of such great...

Carbon cycle was already disrupted millions of years ago

Dutch researcher Yvonne van Breugel analysed rocks from seabeds millions of years old. Carbon occurs naturally in two stable forms; atomic mass 12 (99 percent) and atomic mass 13 (1 percent). Episodes in the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods were characterised by a relatively strong increase in 12C. The analyses have shown that this was caused by a sudden large-scale release of carbon from stocks s...

New study calculates millions of years saved in lives of AIDS patients

This year, the U.S. federal government will spend $21 billion for HIV/AIDS research, treatment, prevention, and related activities. Is this enormous expenditure paying off? A study published in the July 1 issue of The Journal of Infectious Diseases, now available online, indicates that it is--and more so than previously thought. The study, by Rochelle P. Walensky, MD, MPH, Kenneth Freedber...

First-time analysis reveals millions of Europeans left at risk from influenza

A powerful analysis from this month's Vaccine 1 highlights the huge gap between current vaccination coverage across Europe and the recommendations endorsed by the European Union. Currently, only one third (35%) of all high risk populations are receiving seasonal influenza vaccine in Europe, resulting in avoidable morbidity, hospitalisations and mortality. For the first time, researchers...

Failure to meet United Nations sanitation target could affect millions of the world's poorest

Worldwide, billions of people lack access to a reliable source of safe drinking water and basic sanitation facilities. To address the problem, the United Nations established the Target 10 initiative, which aims to halve the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation by 2015. Target 10 was launched in 2000 as part of the U.N. Millennium Devel...

Drug May Make Breathing Easier for Millions

An experimental drug could make millions of people suffering from smoker’s lung breathe much easier. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) or smoker’s lung, is an irreversible progressive illness caused by narrowing of the airways. It encompasses emphysema and chronic bronchitis. In tests involving 500 people who had suffered from COPD for more than a decade, the drug appeared...

The 'forgotten epidemic' killing millions

Malaria, the ancient mosquito-borne disease that was rolled back by medical advances in the mid-20th century, is making a deadly comeback.// Strains of the disease are becoming increasingly resistant to treatment, infecting and killing more people than ever before -- sickening as many as 900 million last year, according to estimates by the U.S. Agency for International Development. <B...

Proper Validation of Generic Drugs Could Save Millions of AIDS Patients

Recently, the use of Anti-HIV single dose drug // Nevirapine which is used for the prevention of mother to child transmission is very much questioned of its effect. Though Generic drugs is used by the large population of peop...

Brain cells by millions die during a stroke

When a person suffers a stroke, 1.9 million nerve cells in the brain die every minute, and the brain denied of oxygen ages 3.6 years every hour, says a study//. The average stroke involves 54 milliliters of brain tissue or about 3 cubic inches, and takes 10 hours to evolve, the study author Dr Jeffrey L. Saver from the University of California reports in the American Heart Association...

Decoding the Fungi Genome Will Save Millions of Lives.

Researchers from the University of Manchester, US, have decoded the genetic code of the Fungus belonging to the family Aspergillus. This has been the major cause of death due to secondary infection in patients suffering from // leukemia and those who have undergone marrow transplants. This research is primarily focused on the idea of saving lives of millions of people by developing new...
