For an Immune Cell, Microgravity Mimics Aging
2014-04-22
Telling someone to "act your age" is another way of asking him or her to behave better. Age, however, does not always bring improvements. Certain cells of the immune system tend to misbehave with age, leaving the elderly more vulnerable to illness. Because these cells are known to misbehave similarly during spaceflight, researchers are studying the effects of microgravity on immune cells to better understand how our immune systems change as we age.
NASA and the National Institute on Aging, part of the National Institutes of Health, have teamed up to support research ...

CT measures potentially dangerous arterial plaque in diabetic patients
2014-04-22
OAK BROOK, Ill. – Imaging of the coronary arteries with computed tomography (CT) angiography provides an accurate assessment of arterial plaque and could have a dramatic impact on the management of diabetic patients who face a high risk of heart attacks and other cardiovascular events, according to a new multicenter study published online in the journal Radiology.
Plaque that forms in the arterial walls can restrict blood flow and, in some cases, rupture, leading to potentially fatal heart attacks. There is considerable evidence that calcified, or stable, plaque, is less ...
Acute respiratory distress syndrome: Study IDs surgical patients at risk
2014-04-22
ROCHESTER, Minn. — Acute respiratory distress syndrome is a leading cause of respiratory failure after surgery. Patients who develop the lung disorder postoperatively are at higher risk of dying in the hospital, and those who survive the syndrome may still bear its physical effects years later. A Mayo Clinic-led study is helping physicians better identify patients most at risk, the first step toward preventing this dangerous and costly surgical complication. They found nine independent risk factors, including sepsis, high-risk aortic vascular surgery, high-risk cardiac ...
Cow manure harbors diverse new antibiotic resistance genes
2014-04-22
Manure from dairy cows, which is commonly used as a farm soil fertilizer, contains a surprising number of newly identified antibiotic resistance genes from the cows' gut bacteria. The findings, reported in mBio® the online open-access journal of the American Society for Microbiology, hints that cow manure is a potential source of new types of antibiotic resistance genes that transfer to bacteria in the soils where food is grown.
Thousands of antibiotic resistance (AR) genes have already been identified, but the vast majority of them don't pose a problem when found in ...

Weinberger, MD, FACP, executive vice president and chief executive officer ...
Narrowing of neck artery without warning may signal memory and thinking decline
2014-04-21
PHILADELPHIA – For the first time, researchers have demonstrated that narrowing of the carotid artery in the neck without any symptoms may be linked to problems in learning, memory, thinking and decision-making, compared to people with similar risk factors but no narrowing in the neck artery, according to a study released today that will be presented at the American Academy of Neurology's 66th Annual Meeting in Philadelphia, April 26 to May 3, 2014.
"To date, the focus of diagnosis and management of carotid artery blockages has been prevention of stroke since that was ...
