In a small pilot study, scientists in Sweden found that probiotic or so called "friendly" bacteria were just as effective as an antiseptic at reducing pathogenic bacteria that can cause pneumonia in hospital patients on ventilators. The study was led by Dr Bengt Klarin from the University Hospital in Lund, Sweden and is published this week in the BioMed Central open access journal Critical Care. Complete news at...
The Mississippi State Department of Health (MSDH) reports the fourth death from West Nile virus (WNV) for 2008. The deceased was a Panola County resident and was a previously reported case. No new human cases of West Nile virus (WNV) are reported. The state's total number of WNV cases for 2008 remains is 100 with four deaths. Complete news at...
A link between the immune system and the self-cleaning system by which biological cells rid themselves of obsolete or toxic parts may one day yield new weapons in the fight against tuberculosis and other deadly infectious diseases. Scientists with the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have discovered proteins residing in both systems that point to "cross-talk" between them. Complete news at...
A probiotic bacterium, Lactobacillus plantarum 299, has been used to out-compete the dangerous bacteria that cause respiratory illness in ventilated patients. Research published in BioMed Central's open access journal Critical Care describes how applying a bacterial solution in place of normal antiseptics is effective in preventing the most common cause of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP).

Hospitals are supposed to be havens for healing, but the numbers tell a different story. Too many people are infected by illnesses they acquire after they've been admitted, and hospital-related infections continue to be the number-two killer of hospitalized Americans after heart disease. Now, a radical new high-tech software program developed by Tel Aviv University researchers to fight these infections is now catching on faster than the flu. Prof. Complete news at...

Clues As To How Tuberculosis Might Be Thwarting The Immune System
A link between the immune system and the self-cleaning system by which biological cells rid themselves of obsolete or toxic parts may one day yield new weapons in the fight against tuberculosis and other deadly infectious diseases.

Chemical Magic In The Mouth - Bacteria In Human Mouth Play Role In Creating Flavors Of Certain Foods
Scientists in Switzerland are reporting that bacteria in the human mouth play a role in creating the distinctive flavors of certain foods. They found that these bacteria actually produce food odors from odorless components of food, allowing people to fully savor fruits and vegetables. Their study is scheduled for the November 12 edition of the ACS' bi-weekly Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.

Less Than £2 Per Capita Funding For Deafness Research
Research published today by the AMRC (Association of Medical Research Charities) shows a worrying lack of awareness of the work of medical research charities. A survey of more than 2,000 British adults has revealed huge gaps in knowledge about medical research charities, even though these now top the list of charitable causes to which we give money.
Revision Surgery In Otolaryngology - The Patient-Centered Approach To Revision Surgery

Diabetes in pregnancy doubles infant language delay risk
Infants that are born to mothers with pregnancy-related diabetes run twice the risk of language development problems, according to a research team directed by Professor Ginette Dionne of University of Laval's School of Psychology. Details of this discovery are published in the most recent issue of the scientific journal Pediatrics.
Scientists compared the vocabulary and grammar skills of 221 children whose mothers were diagnosed with gestational diabetes to those of 2,612 children from a control group. These tests were conducted at different intervals between ages 18 months and 7 years.
