Attack of the microorganisms: Medical Science and Technology against hospital-acquired Infections

( Source: MEDICA.de )

[01/09/2011] Time and again it sweeps through the media and we hear of serious diseases, like for instance MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), which attack patients in hospitals. Needless to say these diseases happen, but they have long ago come to the forefront of hygiene experts, who fight with a vengeance to prevent essentially “man-made” infections in clinics and hospital facilities.Attack of the microorganisms: Medical Science and Technology against hospital-acquired Infections - Read more

Like in Real Estates: In Cell Culture, the Neighbourhood Matters

[30/08/2011] Ever since scientists first began growing human cells in lab dishes, they have focused on improving the chemical soup that feeds the cells and helps regulate their growth. But surfaces also matter, says Laura Kiessling, a professor of chemistry at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Like in Real Estates: In Cell Culture, the Neighbourhood Matters - Read more

Study: New Risk Score Spots Patients at High Risk of Serious Blood Clots

[18/08/2011] A new risk prediction tool can identify patients at high risk of serious blood clots who might need preventative treatment. The tool is based on simple variables which the patient is likely to know and could be easily integrated into GP computer systems to risk assess patients prior to hospital admission, long haul flights, or starting medications that carry an increased clotting risk.Study: New Risk Score Spots Patients at High Risk of Serious Blood Clots - Read more

Proteins: Improved Method Holds Promise for Biomedical Research

[17/08/2011] Antibodies are the backbone of the immune system—capable of targeting proteins associated with infection and disease. They are also vital tools for biomedical research, the development of diagnostic tests and for new therapeutic remedies.Proteins: Improved Method Holds Promise for Biomedical Research - Read more
