Study identifies key role for nervous system in severe allergic shock
A key feature of the severe allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis is an abrupt drop in blood pressure and body temperature, causing people to faint and, if untreated, potentially die.
New combination of drugs works together to reduce lung tumors in mice
Cancer treatments have long been moving toward personalization—finding the right drugs that work for a patient’s unique tumor, based on specific genetic and molecular patterns. Many of these targeted therapies are highly effective, but aren’t available for all cancers, including non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) that have an LKB1 genetic mutation.
Study: Peanut allergies could dramatically fall if babies weaned early on peanut products
Peanut allergy could plummet by 77 percent if peanut products were added to all babies’ diets at four to six months of age, according to new research led by the University of Southampton, Kings College London, and the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR).
Breaking barriers in hepatitis C diagnosis and treatment for populations at risk
A study with people who inject drugs evaluated a minimally invasive test based on dried blood spots (DBS) for the monitoring of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. The use of DBS samples for HCV RNA detection and genotyping was shown to effectively assess cure after treatment and to differentiate between reinfection and treatment failure.
