The Immune System May Offer Method For Stopping Infection-Caused Inflammation By Targeting Blood Vessels
Treating virulent influenza, sepsis, and other potentially deadly infections long has focused on looking for ways to kill viruses and bacteria. But new research from the University of Utah and Utah State University shows that modulating the body’s own overeager inflammatory response to infection may help save more lives…
Treating Back Pain In Blood Marrow Cancer Patients
Treating non-osteoporotic compression fractures in patients with multiple myeloma, a blood cancer, shows that the use of vertebroplasty – a minimally invasive treatment performed by interventional radiologists using imaging guidance that stabilizes collapsed vertebrae with the injection of medical-grade bone cement into the spine – results in a reduction of pain, medication usa…
Study Should Prove Helpful In Quest For Safer, More Effective Blood Substitutes
A study published in the March 2010 issue of the journal Anesthesiology gives researchers new insights in how to better understand and control a severe side effect of hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers (HBOCs), often referred to as “artificial blood.” Binglan Yu, Ph.D…
Blood test can predict rheumatoid arthritis before symptoms arise
Researchers have identified several cytokines, cytokine-related factors, and chemokines that increase significantly prior to rheumatoid arthritis disease onset. These findings confirm those of earlier studies which suggest that the risk of developing RA can be predicted and disease progression may be prevented.
Implications Of Influenza Pandemics On Blood Supplies Highlighted By Study
A German research team has examined data on supply and demand for blood transfusions against a computer simulation of an influenza pandemic, and discovered that a severe pandemic scenario could quickly lead to a deficit of up to 96,000 red blood cell (RBC) transfusion units in Germany alone, creating potentially fatal outcomes. Their study is published today in the journal TRANSFUSION…
Scientists Discover Skin Also Senses Via Blood Vessels And Sweat Glands And Not Just Nerves
An international team of scientists has discovered that the human body has an entirely unique and separate sensory system that is largely imperceptible in most people and is based on blood vessels and sweat glands and not on nerves…
Underlying Viral Infection Identied By Genomic Signature In Blood
Scientists have identified a genomic “signature” in circulating blood that reveals exposure to common upper respiratory viruses, like the cold or flu, even before symptoms appear. The tell-tale viral signature reflects a set of subtle but robust changes in genes that are activated as the body responds to infection. The signal from the signature is strong enough in symptomatic individuals to clearly reveal whether their infection is viral or bacterial.
Chemical In Blood May Explain Susceptibility To Bladder Pain
A marker in the blood of both cats and humans that was identified in a recent study might signal both species’ susceptibility for a painful bladder disorder called interstitial cystitis, a condition that is often difficult to diagnose.
Stem Cell Therapy Grows New Blood Vessels
New research has identified how to use selected stem cells from bone marrow to grow new blood vessels to treat diseases such as peripheral artery disease. It’s one of the complications of diabetes caused by reduced blood flow which, in severe cases, can lead to amputation of a limb.
