According to the large study, researchers warn babies who are given antacids or antibiotics during their first 6 months of life may have a sharply higher risk for allergies or asthma
In the present study, researchers evaluated the effects of leptin that induced mineralization of cartilage endplate (CEP) cells in vitro and in vivo, because the mechanism by which leptin acts on CEP cells to give rise to calcification was unclear
A study defines that not only can synthetic molecules mimic the structures of their biological models, they can also take on their functions and may even successfully compete with them, as an artificial DNA sequence designed by Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU). The study was published in Nature Chemistry.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services form 485 (CMS-485) is typically used for certification of SHHC plans of care and interactions between SHHC agencies and physicians. Little is known about how physicians use or perception of the CMS-485.
Most people prescribed antibiotics for sinus infections are on treatment courses of 10 days or longer even though infectious disease doctors recommend five to seven days for uncomplicated cases, a U.S. study suggests.
Researchers used bioluminescence from a marine animal for a novel assay to determine the efficacy of cancer therapies. A test based on luciferases enzymes responsible for bioluminescence from certain small crustaceans and deep-sea shrimp was developed.
Older women who report the long-term use of antibiotics showed an increase in all-cause mortality and notably higher rates of cardiovascular mortality compared with those with no antibiotic use suggested a new study.
Every cell in your body is enclosed by a cell membrane, a lipid bilayer that separates the cell's contents from its surroundings. Residing within the cell membrane itself, molecules move around like ballet dancers on a stage.The proteins in the cell membrane undergo elegantly coordinated dances to relay messages between the cell and its environment.
Anastomotic reconstruction following intestinal resection in Crohn’s disease (CD) might employ side-to-side anastomosis (STSA) or end-to-end anastomosis (ETEA). The aim was to determine the impact of these two techniques in postoperative CD patients.
Colon cancer is the second most common cause of cancer-related deaths. The APC protein has long been known for its critical role in preventing colorectal cancer. When APC is inactivated, the development of colorectal cancer is triggered.
Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells, a powerful weapon of body's immune systems, fight infection and combat diseases like cancer, and lupus. Finding ways to spark these potent cells into action could lead to effective cancer treatments.
The NHS, UK has been trying out “one-stop shops” for cancer diagnosis where results might be obtained in a single day. These centers were referral centers where GPs could send in patients who suffer from “vague” symptoms including fatigue.
