Study Published On Novel Treatment For Skin Lymphoma

Promising findings on a novel combination treatment approach for a chronic type of skin lymphoma are published in JAMA’s Archives of Dermatology by clinical researchers from Seidman Cancer Center at University Hospitals (UH) Case Medical Center and Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine. Clinical researchers at UH Case Medical Center and Case Western Reserve University have been investigating O6-benzylguanine over the past decade and were participants in the original research into its mechanism of action as a cancer treatment potentiator. When used alone, carmustine attaches to the DNA in the patient’s cancer cells during the replication process, causing the cancer cells to die. O6-benzylguanine inhibits the enzyme from clipping off the carmustine from the DNA, so the drug can complete its mission and kill the cancer cells.

Women Wheelchair Basketball Athletes Say The Inclusion Of Able-Bodied Athletes On The Team Had Many Different Types Of Advantages

It’s also a sport that in Canada has become one of the most inclusive, welcoming athletes with disability and able-bodied athletes alike to its leagues and teams. Nancy Spencer-Cavaliere, the study’s lead author in the Faculty of Physical Education and Recreation at the University of Alberta, says, “Maybe this is a question people who experience disability may ask more often because they don’t see themselves differently, at least in some instances, but disability is often perceived as a difference by others. Only one player said her view of self was negatively impacted by the inclusion of able-bodied players but this was related to her perception that able-bodied athletes had more opportunities in sport, nevertheless she was still very supportive of including these athletes,” says Spencer-Cavaliere. Spencer-Cavaliere emphasizes that classifiable athletes saw the inclusion of able-bodied athletes as a way to promote their sport, train together, strengthen the team and increase their opportunity for competition, not to legitimize it as a sport.

Serious Injuries To Pedestrians Wearing Headphones More Than Tripled In Six Years, US Study

The lead author of the review is Dr Richard Lichenstein, associate professor of pediatrics at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and director of pediatric emergency medicine research at the University of Maryland Medical Center, in Baltimore. In their background information the authors explained they carried out the research because while we know a lot about the link between cell phone use while driving and the risk of death to drivers and passengers, we know very little about the risk posed by using headphones while walking near traffic. The reviewers extracted and summarized all the cases and graded each into one of three categories according to the information in the report or article, as to the likelihood of headphone use (eg reports that mentioned the pedestrian was wearing headphones at the time of the crash were in the top category). They also found over the six year period they studied, there was a tripling in the number of cases of serious injury to pedestrians who were wearing headphones when the crash occurred, according to a statement from University of Maryland Medical Center. In the case of pedestrians wearing headphones, this distraction is further intensified by sensory deprivation, where the ability to sense an external stimulus, such as hearing a warning sound or car horn, is diminished because of the sounds made by the portable device and headphones.

Detecting Staph Infections With Mass Spectrometry

The findings have been published in the January issue of the journal Molecular and Cellular Proteomics . The researchers, from the Georgia Institute of Technology and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have based their test on unique isotopic labeling combined with specific bacteriophage amplification to rapidly identify Staphylococcus aureus by using mass spectrometry to quantify the number of S. By labeling input phage with heavy nitrogen isotopes, we were able to use mass spectrometry to effectively distinguish between the parent and progeny phage, thus enhancing the selectivity of the method. The researchers have optimized the prototype of this mass spectrometry-based technique to identify low concentrations of bacteria, which should enable clinicians to diagnose staph infections without needing significant culture periods. This additional piece of information may be the key to wide acceptance of the method.

Bladder Cancer Marker Identified By Computer Algorithm

The new research offers the promise of an easy, antibody-based test that can be used by someone with little training to quickly determine whether a bladder cancer is of the most dangerous type. Those who already have invasive cancer of the more-aggressive subtype would be candidates for additional therapies, such as chemotherapy, even before metastasis could be detected, added Robert Chin, MD, PhD, of the University of Chicago Medical Center, the third lead author of the paper. With this information in hand, they hypothesized that bladder cancers generally come in three types corresponding to the different forms of keratin, and that the bladder cancer cells making keratin-14 would be the most malignant. The researchers also used their antibodies to isolate different types of bladder cancer cells and showed that the “primitive” cells associated with keratin-14 could cause the most aggressive cancer when transplanted into mice.

Pediatric Liver Transplant Graft Recipients Can Stay Off Immunosuppressant Medications

A study in the January 18 issue of JAMA reveals that the majority of children who received liver transplant grafts from a parent were able to stay off immunosuppression therapy for at least 1 year with normal graft function after gradual withdrawal from the therapy. In order to analyze the feasibility of withdrawal of immunosuppression therapy in children who receive liver transplants, Sandy Feng, M. Enrollment criteria included stable allograft function while taking a single immunosuppressive medication as well as no evidence of acute or chronic rejection or significant fibrosis (development of excess fibrous connective tissue) on liver biopsy. Of the 8 participants termed non-tolerant, 3 did not meet the primary end point after immunosuppression withdrawal and 5 did not meet the primary end point during withdrawal. Our surprising finding that an unexpectedly high proportion of well-defined pediatric cohort are operationally tolerant with stable allograft function and histology sets that agenda for larger studies with longer follow-up to define the frequency, assess the durability, and derive a predictive profile of operational tolerance for pediatric liver transplant recipients.

Cell ‘Battery’ Found To Play Central Role In Neurodegenerative Disease

This finding by researchers at Queen Mary, University of London and Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital - The Neuro - at McGill University, is published in this week’s issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the USA. In 2000, scientists identified the gene associated with the disease, which produces a massive 4,579 amino acid protein called sacsin, but until now the role of the sacsin protein has been unknown. The multi-institutional collaborative research led jointly by Dr Paul Chapple at Queen Mary and Dr Bernard Brais and Dr Peter McPherson in Montreal indicates that that the sacsin protein has a mitochondrial function, and that mutations causing the this ataxia are linked to a dysfunction of mitochondria in neurons. By studying neurons in culture as well as in knockout mice (which do not produce sacsin), the team found that loss of the sacsin protein results in abnormally shaped and poorly functioning mitochondria. In the knockout mice, these disruptions led to neuron death specifically in the cerebellum, suggesting that this is the basis for the neurodegenerative impairments suffered by ARSACS patients.

Researchers Elucidate Mechanism By Which Immune Cells Destroy Cancer Cells

Kathleen Anders and Professor Thomas Blankenstein of the Max Delbruck Center for Molecular Medicine (MDC) Berlin-Buch and researchers of the Beckman Research Institute of the City of Hope Cancer Center in Duarte, California, USA designed and carried out a study comparing the two methods. Since the oncogene is also present as antigen on the surface of the tumor cells, the researchers were also able to target these tumors with oncogene-specific T cells. The researchers showed in mice that the tumor is destroyed by the drug-mediated inactivation of the oncogene, but that the tumor vasculature and thus the blood supply of the tumor remains intact. Adoptive T-cell therapy, the researchers noted, is more effective in the mice in the long term, because it destroys the blood supply of the tumor. In adoptive T-cell therapy, the researchers modulate the cytotoxic T cells (immune cells toxic for the cell) in the test tube in such a way that the T cells recognize certain features on the surface of cancer cells and specifically destroy the tumor cells.

Glaucoma Measurements Can Be Affected By Contact Lenses

A study about how wearing contact lenses affects glaucoma measurements has been named the top presentation at Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine’s annual St. Brenner and colleagues studied the effects of contact lens wear on retinal nerve fiber layer measurements, which ophthalmologists use to diagnose and manage glaucoma. Many patients recovering from cancer therapy or use inhalers are at a higher risk of anemia and raised eye pressure.
