National Institutes of Health (NIH) News Releases
Bacterial Pneumonia Caused Most Deaths in 1918 Influenza Pandemic
Tue, 19 Aug 2008 09:00:00 -0400
The majority of deaths during the influenza pandemic of 1918-1919 were not caused by the influenza virus acting alone, report researchers from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health. Instead, most victims succumbed to bacterial pneumonia following influenza virus infection. The pneumonia was caused when bacteria that normally inhabit the nose and throat invaded the lungs along a pathway created when the virus destroyed the cells that line the bronchial tubes and lungs.
Largest Study of Its Kind Implicates Gene Abnormalities in Bipolar Disorder
Mon, 18 Aug 2008 14:25:00 -0400
The largest genetic analysis of its kind to date for bipolar disorder has implicated machinery involved in the balance of sodium and calcium in brain cells. Researchers supported in part by the National Institute of Mental Health, part of the National Institutes of Health, found an association between the disorder and variation in two genes that make components of channels that manage the flow of the elements into and out of cells, including neurons.
Alternative Vaccine Strategy Shows Promise in Prostate Cancer Patients
Fri, 15 Aug 2008 09:05:00 -0400
New research indicates that giving patients a continuous low dose of an immune system booster, a method known as metronomic dosing, as part of a therapeutic prostate cancer vaccine strategy is safe and produces similar immune responses and fewer side effects than the more common dosing method, which is not well tolerated by many patients. This study, led by researchers at that National Cancer Institute (NCI), part of the National Institutes of Health, was published in the Aug. 15, 2008, issue of "Clinical Cancer Research."
