Scientists Discover Possibility Of Revitalizing Immune Cells Of HIV Patients
Scientists in Canada and the US have discovered a method that apparently restores vitality to certain immune system cells that have become "exhausted" from fighting HIV, thus potentially restoring the ability of the infected person's own immune system to wage war against the virus.
Antibiotic Use Increases At Academic Medical Centers
Antibacterial drug use appears to have increased at academic medical centers between 2002 and 2006, driven primarily by greater use of broad-spectrum agents and the antibiotic vancomycin, according to a report in the Nov. 10 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. Using antibacterial drugs increases the risk that pathogens will become resistant to their effects, according to background information in the article.
