Patients with neuropathic pain found greater relief, and fewer side effects, when treated with bupropion SR (sustained-release) than with commonly prescribed treatments. These findings came from a study conducted at the University of Arizona Neurology Clinic and Pain Clinic in Tucson.
Researchers from the National Institutes of Health have recovered a virus similar to the hepatitis E virus (HEV) from rats in Los Angeles, California, a finding that may explain high levels of HEV exposure in inner-city residents without disease. They report their findings at the 50th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene.
High levels of antibodies against the liver stage of the malaria parasite appear to predict resistance to the disease say researchers from Brown University and the Seattle Biomedical Research Institute. These findings, presented at the 50th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, could eventually lead to new strategies for malaria vaccines or treatments.
New research presented at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2001 conference provides further evidence that EECP therapy stimulates the release of angiogenic factors, and offers hope of noninvasive treatment based on rejuvenating circulation in the diseased heart.
A positive outlook may offer the strongest known protection against heart disease in adults at risk, according to a Johns Hopkins study. The report, which looked at nearly 600 adults with a family history of heart disease, will be presented Nov. 12 at the American Heart Association's annual Scientific Sessions in Anaheim, Calif.
Treprostinil, a structural analogue of naturally occurring prostacyclin, has been shown to be safe and effective in the treatment of patients with pulmonary hypertension associated with various forms of connective tissue disease.
A Tai Chi exercise program may result in less pain and fewer difficulties with daily activities, according to research presented at the American College of Rheumatology Annual Scientific Meeting Nov. 10 - 15 in San Francisco, California.
Treating rheumatoid arthritis early on is the key to better outcomes and decreased disability, according to several sets of research presented at the American College of Rheumatology Annual Scientific Meeting Nov. 10 - 15 in San Francisco, California.
It appears that most of the aspirin-type medications referred to as NSAIDs do not decrease the risk of heart attacks with the exception of one, according to research presented at the American College of Rheumatology Annual Scientific Meeting in San Francisco, California.
Two investigational therapies show promise in treating rheumatoid arthritis, according to research presented at the American College of Rheumatology Annual Scientific Meeting Nov. 10 - 15 in San Francisco, California.

People with ankylosing spondylitis who are treated with etanercept, an anti TNF therapy which has been used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, may experience significant improvement in pain and mobility.
People with rheumatoid arthritis who are already taking methotrexate may have further improvement in arthritis control with the addition of a new injectable treatment called adalimumab, according to research presented at the ACR Annual Scientific Meeting.
People with rheumatoid arthritis who take methotrexate but continue to have active arthritis may have further improvement in arthritis control with the addition of a new injectable treatment called anakinra.
A multi-center, international pilot study of two new drugs to treat patients with rheumatoid arthritis has found the drugs to be safe and effective in treating the disease.
Older women who drink four or more cups of decaffeinated coffee a day are more than twice as likely to develop rheumatoid arthritis, while women who drink more than three cups of tea a day are much less likely to develop the disease, according to a recent UAB study.
A University of Idaho zoologist is sampling more chinook salmon from Northwest rivers this fall in hope of solving a mystery: are some female chinook really gender bending males? New samples indicate the mystery pervades the Columbia Basin.
Two groups of plant scientists at the University of Minnesota have each received four-year, $3.1M grants from the National Science Foundation to study the genomes of legumes and corn as part of NSF's Plant Genome Research Program.
In response to the immediate threats of bio-terrorist attacks, two University of Missouri-Columbia College of Engineering researchers have developed a process that rapidly kills a wide range of microbes on any surface, including anthrax spores and viruses.
