HIV Video: Antiretroviral Therapy Very Effective at Preventing New HIV Infections, Breath Test for H1N1 Infections, ECGs for Young Athletes May Be Impractical

(July 14, 2011 - Insidermedicine) From Atlanta - Antiretroviral drugs are effective at preventing HIV infections, according to a report released by the CDC. Researchers gave 1200 sexually active African males either Truvada or placebo, finding that the antiretroviral medication reduced new HIV infections by 63%, and that those who took the drug regularly reduced new infections by 78%. From Cleveland - Scientists have developed a novel breath test for H1N1 influenza, according to a report published in the Journal of Breath Research. Researchers gave 11 individuals a live attenuated H1N1 vaccination, and administered a breath test measuring the participants nitric oxide (a biomolecule previously linked to viral infections). Results showed a significant peak in NO levels in all individuals the third day after vaccination. And finally, from California - ECGs in young athletes may not prevent sudden cardiac death, according to a report published in the Journal of Pediatrics . Researchers had 53 pediatric cardiologists examine 18 ECGs, 8 from healthy children and 10 from children with a heart condition that raises risk of sudden cardiac death. Results showed that the cardiologists had fairly low accuracy in assessing the ECGs, suggesting that routine screening in young athletes may be impractical

Adaptation And Evolution The Life Of An Rna Virus (Mwv35)

From the flu to HIV, RNA viruses challenge our immune systems like no other infectious agent on the planet. RNA viruses provide unique insights into the patterns and processes of evolutionary change in real time. The study of viral evolution is especially topical given the growing awareness that emerging and re-emerging diseases (most of which are caused by RNA viruses) represent a major threat to public health. How do RNA viruses adapt and change, and how do our bodies respond? Why are diseases like HIV so difficult to predict and contain? In episode 35 of MicrobeWorld Video, Eddie Holmes, professor in Biology at Pennsylvania State University leads a discussion before a live audience at Busboys & Poets in Washington, D.C. on the genetics and evolution of RNA viruses and how we can combat them.

INSIDERMEDICINE VIDEO: In Hospital Kidney Injury Increases Risk of Mortality, Cutting TV Time Burns Calories in Overweight People, Natural Antiviral Protein Discovered

(December 17, 2009 - Insidermedicine) From Massachusetts - Suffering an acute kidney injury (AKI) in-hospital increases a patient's risk of mortality once released, according to a report published in the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology . Researchers studied over 83,000 patients who suffered sudden loss of their kidney function in-hospital, but did not undergo dialysis and survived a minimum of three months after their release from the hospital. Results showed that 30% of patients who suffered AKI died after two years, compared with only 16% of patients who did not suffer this injury. From California - According to a repot published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, watching less television burns calories in overweight adults. Researchers studied 36 overweight adults, having one group of participants cut their TV time in half while the other watched their normal amount. Results showed that the group of patients who watched less TV burned an extra 120 calories per day. And finally, back to Massachusetts - Researchers have identified naturally occurring proteins that help prevent viral infections, according to a report published in the journal Cell . Researchers found antiviral proteins in human and mouse cells, discovering that the proteins were able to either prevent or at least slow viruses--such as the seasonal flu, H1N1 influenza, West Nile virus, and the dengue virus--as soon as the infection started its course.

Eating Grapes May Have Heart Benefits, Toys in Doctors' Offices Carry Cold Viruses, Nicotine Addiction Severity On the Rise

(October 29, 2008 - Insidermedicine) From Michigan - According to research in the Journal of Gerontology: Biological Sciences, eating grapes may be beneficial for the heart. In a study of rats, researchers found that those who were fed grape powder had lower blood pressure, better heart function, reduced inflammation in their bodies and less heart muscle damage. The researchers believe that the antioxidant properties of flavonoids may be responsible for these effects. From Virginia - According to research presented at the Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, toys in pediatricians' waiting rooms may expose children to cold viruses. Researchers took swab samples from toys in a pediatrician's office, and found that 1 in 5 toys tested positive for rhinoviruses or influenza B. While the presence of viral RNA does not necessarily mean the toys are infectious, the researchers noted that even cleaning the toys with a disinfectant cloth only minimally decreased the presence of viral remnants. And finally, from California - According to research presented to the American College of Chest Physicians, nicotine addiction in the U.S. has reached a 15 year high. In the study, researchers used questionnaires to assess the pre-treatment nicotine dependence of over 600 participants. Overall, the researchers found that the severity of nicotine dependence had gone up 12% between 1989 and 2006, and the percentage of those considered highly dependent went up by 32%.
