For every death from AIDS, the US federal research establishment awards approximately $69,000 in grant funds. And for every death from MRSA, it awards $570.
How Much Is a Drug-Resistance Death Worth? Less Than $600 | Wired Science | Wired.com - 0 views

MRSA, let’s remember, kills an estimated 19,000 Americans a year: more than HIV, and more than pneumococcal disease, meningococcal disease, H. influenzae and group A Streptococcus combined.
-
because HIV has been a research priority for most of the 30 years of its existence, research has brought forth thousands of antiviral compounds and drug combinations for treatment.
Research may lead to new strategies against sepsis - 0 views

-
I have read other articles where the fatality for sepsis has ranged between 25-50%, so it seems like an improvement to have antibiotics currently at 25%. This is still way too high to be acceptable.

This cell migration further stimulates the immune system, increasing the release of other signaling molecules and factors. But how this occurs hasn't been completely understood."

Eliminating STIM1 or blocking the channel both reduced the permeability of the lungs' blood vessels and lessened lung edema

Huge issue - especially in older population

It is important not to exaggerate your findings, so I think it is good that they are honest with areas of the research that are still not definitive.

A mutant Tat protein provides strong pr - PubMed Mobile - 0 views
-
Nullbasic is a mutant form of the HIV-1 Tat protein that was previously shown to strongly inhibit HIV-1 replication in non-hematopoietic cell lines by targeting three steps of HIV-1 replication: reverse transcription, transport of viral mRNA and transactivation of HIV-1 gene expression.
Escherichia coli O157:H7 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 1 views
-
Escherichia coli O157:H7 is an enterohemorrhagic strain of the bacterium Escherichia coli and a cause of illness through food.[1] Infection may lead to hemorrhagic diarrhea, and to kidney failure.
-
E. coli serotype O157:H7 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium. The "O" in the name refers to the cell wall (somatic) antigen number, whereas the "H" refers to the flagella antigen.
Braconidae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 1 views
-
Endoparasitoid species often display elaborate physiological adaptations to enhance larval survival within the host, such as the co-option of endosymbiotic viruses for compromising host immune defenses.
-
he DNA of the wasp actually contains portions that are the templates for the components of the viral particles and they are assembled in an organ in the female's abdomen known as the calyx.
-
Because of this highly modified system of host immunosuppression it is not surprising that there is a high level of parasitoid-host specificity. It is this specificity that makes Braconids a very powerful and important biological control agent.

My husband was telling me about this yesterday. He heard about it on reddit but he couldn't remember which kind of bug it was. -
That's actually where I found it the other night. It was a very interesting read to say the least.
Fecal Treatment Gains Favor for Some Illnesses - NYTimes.com - 3 views

A new study finds that such transplants cured 15 of 16 people who had recurring infections with Clostridium difficile bacteria, whereas antibiotics cured only 3 of 13 and 4 of 13 patients in two comparison groups.

I didn't know this was even possible. I wonder how they convinced people to donate. "The donors were tested for an array of diseases to make sure they did not infect the patients." I wonder how extensive that panel was and what they tested for.
-
Isn't this neat? I have met people who are hoping to get this treatment. Re: the screening, I think it is probably just for the absence of pathogens. As the article states, we really don't know what the "good" bacteria are that help these patients.
-
RE: I would hope that they would check for things like HIV and other blood to blood transmitted diseases. If there was a bleed in the GI tract of both the donor and the patient, I could imagine it would be a problem.

“We have overpromoted and overhyped this vaccine,” said Michael T. Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy, as well as its Center of Excellence for Influenza Research and Surveillance. “It does not protect as promoted. It’s all a sales job: it’s all public relations.”
-
He still considers himself a “a pro-vaccine guy,” Dr. Osterholm said.
-
“I say, ‘Use this vaccine,’ ” he said. “The safety profile is actually quite good. But we have oversold it. Use it — but just know it’s not going to work nearly as well as everyone says.”
