Rice Blast Research Reveals Details on How a Fungus Invades PlantsLike a stealthy enemy, blast disease invades rice crops around the world, killing plants and cutting production of one of the most important global food sources. Now, a study by an international team of researchers sheds light on how the rice blast fungus, Magnaporthe oryzae, invades plant tissue. The finding is a step toward learning how to control the disease, which by some estimates destroys enough rice to feed 60 million people annually. – Kansas State University Research and Extension|6/18/2013 5:00 PM EDT

Study Finds Need for Improvement on State Health Care Price WebsitesGreater relevance to patients could be realized by focusing information on services that are predictable, nonurgent, and subject to deductibles (e.g., routine outpatient care for chronic diseases) rather than services that are unpredictable, emergent, or would exceed most deductibles (e.g., hospitalizations for life-threatening conditions). – American Medical Association (AMA)|6/18/2013 4:00 PM EDT
Study Evaluates Procedures for Diagnosing SarcoidosisAmong patients with suspected stage I/II pulmonary sarcoidosis who were undergoing confirmation of the condition via tissue sampling, the use of the procedure known as endosonographic nodal aspiration compared with bronchoscopic biopsy, the current diagnostic standard, resulted in greater diagnostic yield, according to a study in the June 19 issue of JAMA. – American Medical Association (AMA)|6/18/2013 4:00 PM EDT
Markers of Beta-Cell Dysfunction Associated With High Rate of Progression to Type 1 DiabetesThe majority of children at risk of type 1 diabetes who developed 2 or more diabetes-related autoantibodies developed type 1 diabetes within 15 years, findings that highlight the need for research into finding interventions to stop the development of multiple islet autoantibodies, according to a study in the June 19 issue of JAMA. – American Medical Association (AMA)|6/18/2013 4:00 PM EDT
MMR Booster Vaccine Does Not Appear to Worsen Disease Activity in Children With Juvenile ArthritisAmong children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) who had undergone primary immunization, the use of a measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) booster compared with no booster did not result in worse JIA disease activity, according to a study in the June 19 issue of JAMA. – American Medical Association (AMA)|6/18/2013 4:00 PM EDT
