Microsporidiosis a possible cause of infection in transplant patients
Date: Feb-17-2014Microsporidiosis should be considered in febrile transplant patients when common infections are not found or response to standard therapies is poor, according to an article being published in Annals of Internal Medicine. Microsporidiosis is an opportunistic infection that can cause a spectrum of disease from mild diarrhea to disseminated, life-threatening infections. The disease is especially serious in immumosuppressed individuals, such as transplant recipients.
New vaccine delivery method 'boosts immune response'
Date: Feb-17-2014Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have created a way of delivering vaccines directly to lymph nodes in the body - where large populations of immune cells are present. The investigators say distributing vaccines to such areas could help stimulate the body's immune system to attack tumors and enable better delivery of HIV vaccines.The team's findings were recently published online in the journal Nature.
Bullying affects children's long-term health, study shows
Date: Feb-17-2014In the first study of its kind to assess the compounding effects of bullying over 5 years, researchers have found that a child experiences more severe and lasting health implications the longer he or she is bullied, suggesting that early interventions could reverse the "downward health trajectory" that victims of bullying may experience.Results of the study were recently reported in Pediatrics, the journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Human lungs successfully grown in a lab for the first time
Date: Feb-17-2014Scientists at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston have succeeded in growing human lungs in the laboratory, using components from the lungs of deceased children.Stem cell specialists have been working on growing lung tissue for some years, but the lung is a complex organ, which presents more problems than regenerating other organ tissue, such as human skin.The University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) first announced their solution for growing lungs in 2010.
