Natural Flu-Fighting Protein In Human Cells Discovered By Scientists
In findings that may lead to better ways to prevent and treat influenza and other viral infections, researchers report the discovery of a family of naturally occurring antiviral agents in human cells. In experiments in human and mouse cells, the flu-fighting proteins prevented or slowed most virus particles from infecting cells at the earliest stage in the virus lifecycle…
Lifestyle Changes Remain Important In Fighting Peripheral Arterial Disease
Modifying the risk of peripheral arterial disease (or PAD) — with healthy lifestyle changes — remains vital to one’s health, say researchers. And while PAD can progress and worsen over time, there is not enough evidence yet to advocate minimally invasive treatment in patients who have had a narrowing or blockage of a leg artery but showing no signs or symptoms of the disease.
Families Fighting Flu Urges Seasonal Flu Vaccination In Kids
Families Fighting Flu (FFF) reminds parents to get their children vaccinated against the seasonal flu. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that children six months through 18 years of age get a seasonal flu vaccination each year. This is the first year that this full influenza vaccination recommendation for children will be implemented by all doctors.
‘Well-Fortified’ Drugstores Have ‘Fighting Chance’ Against Government Reform, Wall Street Journal Says
Recent events in Washington state indicate that “well-fortified” pharmacy chains have a “fighting chance” as the health care industry gears up for “an assault of government reform,” the Wall Street Journal reports. Last week, a court stalled the state from imposing a rule that would have cut Medicaid reimbursements for brand-name prescription drugs after
Fighting Flu – Potential Treatment Breakthrough
St Andrews’ scientists have made a breakthrough in the search for potential new treatments for influenza. Researchers at the Centre for Biomolecular Sciences have engineered novel proteins designed to combat the disease. The proteins are designed to mask the sugar molecules in the respiratory tract that viruses such as the influenza virus need to bind to in order to cause an infection.
