Hot off the Press- UC researchers recommend universal screening to tackle rise in Hepatitis C October 17, 2018Physicians are encountering a growing number of younger patients who are testing positive for hepatitis C virus (HCV) fueled largely by the opioid crisis impacting communities around the country. That increase and more effective and tolerable drug regimens for HCV infection, means one-time universal screening of all adults for HCV is now cost effective and r […]
- NASA catches the scattered remains of former Tropical Storm Tara October 17, 2018NASA's Aqua satellite captured an infrared image of the remnants of former Tropical Storm Tara after it dissipated near the coast of western Mexico's Jalisco state. Jalisco is a western Mexican state along the Eastern Pacific Ocean.
- Case Western Reserve researchers cure drug-resistant infections without antibiotics October 17, 2018Biochemists, microbiologists, drug discovery experts and infectious disease doctors have teamed up in a new study that shows antibiotics are not always necessary to cure sepsis in mice. Instead of killing causative bacteria with antibiotics, researchers treated infected mice with molecules that block toxin formation in bacteria. Every treated mouse survived. […]
- Study uncovers new link between neonicotinoid pesticide exposure and bumblebee decline October 17, 2018Adding to evidence that pesticide use may be abetting the decline of bumblebee, a new study reveals that daily consumption of even small doses of neonicotinoids reduces the survival of queen and male bees, which are critical to the viability of wild populations. The study also found that exposure to neonicotinoids alters the expression of many bee genes, sug […]
- Social media buffers depression among older adults with pain October 17, 2018With a few finger strokes or swipes on a computer or cell phone, seniors with pain reduce the risk of depression when visiting social media sites.
- Substantial changes in air pollution across China during 2015 to 2017 October 17, 2018The first detailed analysis of air pollution trends in China reveals a 20 per cent drop in concentrations of particulate pollution over the last three years (2015-2017).
- Probiotics and antibiotics create a killer combination October 17, 2018MIT researchers have shown that by delivering a combination of antibiotics and alginate-encapsulated probiotics, they can eradicate two strains of drug-resistant bacteria that often infect wounds.
- Novel method for precise, controllable cell deposition onto tissue engineering constructs October 17, 2018A new study presents a novel method of using a microfluidic flow cell array to achieve precise and reproducible control of cell deposition onto engineered tissue constructs to produce tunable cell patterns and generate essential integration zones.
- Just the right dose: antiepileptic drug clearance changes during pregnancy October 17, 2018Study finds significant changes in how seizure medications are metabolized during the different trimesters of pregnancy.
- Taking their vitamins October 17, 2018New research finds that more bacterioplankton utilize vitamin B1 or B1 precursors from their environment than synthesize their own. The researchers also found that B1 availability can directly limit bacterioplankton growth, which could have larger impacts on aquatic microbial food webs, as well as energy and nutrient exchange.
