Stanford discovery may help predict when toxoplasma can be deadly
Toxoplasma is arguably the most successful animal parasite on earth: It infects hundreds of species of warm-blooded animals, most notably half of humanity. Its unusual ability to overcome the numerous challenges of infecting and reproducing inside such a wide range of creatures has long intrigued scientists, and now researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine have identified t...Link found between immune system and high plasma lipid levels
Researchers at the University of Chicago have found an unsuspected link between the immune system and high plasma lipid levels (cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood) in mice. The finding could lead to new ways to reduce the risk of heart disease by lowering elevated lipid levels. In the April 13, 2007, issue of Science, the research team—led by James C. Lo, an MD, PhD student, in t...Mycoplasma Testing from AbD Serotec

New findings published in the Annals of Internal Medicine this week have found that the standard therapy for patients who are on the verge of kidney failure is useless. //The study conducted by researchers at Lawson Health Research Institute scientists in London, Canada found that a treatment called "plasma exchange" in patients with multiple myeloma has no benefits. This means that the...Patients with HIV-1 can predict plasma lipids level based on race
It is a known fact that your race has a profound effect on your health status. Confirming that study is a research held at University of Massachusetts// and Pennsylvania which shows that race/ethnicity is a predictor of plasma lipids in patients with HIV-1 on HAART (highly active antiretroviral therapy). The study was conducted on 626 patients participating in several ongoing AIDS Cli...Toxoplasma Linked to a Protein
London: Scientists in Britain are trying to investigate the reason why the common parasite Toxoplasma,// does not cause harm to most people, but could make many others seriously ill. Toxoplasma is a genus of parasitic protozoa which is carried by cats, but can also be passed on by many other warm-blooded animals, even humans. Toxoplasma causes the disease called toxoplasmosis, which i...Findings on Dangerous Parasite, Toxoplasma Gondii Published
Montana State University researchers and their collaborators are gaining widespread attention for discoveries involving// a common parasite that can threaten everyone from babies to AIDS patients. Their findings about Toxoplasma gondii and toxoplasmosis were published recently in three major scientific journals. Nature published a paper in its advanced online version. "I...Multiple Low-energy Plasma Skin Treatments Beneficial in Reducing Facial Wrinkles
A recent study has demonstrated the benefits of multiple low-energy treatments, combined with a plasma skin regeneration tool//, that can help reduce wrinkles and enhance the appearance, in record healing time. These multiple treatments have the same impact of a single high-energy session, with reduced healing times. "Plasma is a unique state of matter in which electrons are stripped...Rapid Plasma Reagin (RPR) Sset
