All recent Ebola virus outbreaks in humans in forests between Gabon and the Republic of Congo were the result of handling infected wild animal carcasses, according to a study by the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and its regional partners. Appearing in the February edition of the journal Emerging Infectious Diseases, the study found that many animal carcasses tested for Ebola between 2001 an...U-M scientist to talk about tissue engineering at AAAS
Scientists have a pretty good handle on how to teach human cells to do tricks in a laboratory---things like getting soft cells from the mouth's lining to form bone. But in the real world, accomplishing such feats is more complex. Regenerating the jaw bone of a person undergoing radiation therapy for cancer means managing the constant bacteria bath of a human mouth as well as compensating...Improved Outcomes Releases GeneLinker(TM) Gold and Platinum Version 4.6
Improved Outcomes Software (IOS) todayannounced the release of GeneLinker(TM) Gold and Platinum 4.6, newversions of the award-winning Gene Expression and Proteomics AnalysisSoftware products."The new releases are focused primarily on importing and analyzingprotein biomarker data, a high priority for many of our customers. Forexample, we have integrated the Protein Biomarker Package into the...Jefferson Virologists Coax HIV Out of Hiding
When researchers came up with the powerfulcocktail of anti-HIV drugs known as highly active antiretroviraltherapy (HAART), they hoped they had found a way to finally rid thebody of the virus. But they were wrong. The virus instead goes intohiding, dormant and practically undetectable in the body ?andimpervious to attack. While HAART manages to keep the virus at bay,it’s still quite capable...Multisignal Output Accessory from Agilent Technologies
Description:Agilents G1979A multisignal output accessory lessens the expensive task of validating multiple data systems in laboratories with multiple mass spectrometers. It converts the unprocessed digital MS signals from Agilent 1100 Series LC/MSD quadrupole mass spectrometers into analog format and transmits the analog data directly to a laboratory information management (LIMS) systems for processing. Calc...Rainbow trout Vitellogenin EIA Kit from Cayman Chemical

A minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) procedure was performed at Pittsburgh while the patient was awake. The operation was done under thoracic epidural anesthesia. This approach may help in discharging the patient early from the hospital. Dr. Zenati from the team of doctors who performed the surgery said that patients who are operated in this way may not have to go t...El Ni?o cycles linked to cholera outbreaks
About 11 months after the start of an El Ni?o event in the equatorial Pacific, hospitals thousands of miles away in Bangladesh can expect a surge of cholera cases, according to the first mathematical model to link climatic cycles with subsequent cholera outbreaks. Details of the climate-disease model are reported in the latest issue of the journal Science by ecologists at C...Ebola Virus - 'Outbreak' Claims More Lives In Uganda.
The curse of Uganda – the deadly Ebola virus in its latest outbreak has claimed around 156 lives by December 5th according to Health Ministry officials in Kampala. More shocking is the fact that the dead include many health workers including doctors & nurses. But what shocked the nation was the death of Dr. Mathew Zukeviya, who was a prominent doctor spearheading the fight against Ebola...Clinton's new problem - Is the outgoing American president suffering from skin cancer?
The outgoing U.S. president Bill Clinton will be remembered as one of the most controversial presidents ever. He created history by becoming the first American president in history to be impeached by the House of Representatives. Only because he managed to win at the senate did he save himself and his country further damage. He has been the center of many burning controversies throughout...South Africa dilly-dallying on AIDS situation
South Africa, which is now the third most affected country by the AIDS virus, HIV, is in an unenviable position. One in every five South African is HIV positive. If this isn’t enough, the government is in the midst of a major controversy, as it refused a huge consignment of one million AIDS detecting kits free of cost estimated around seven million U.S. Dollars.
