What we put on our skin may be as important as what we eat and a new study helps to explain why. For years, Professor Franca Ronchese, an immunologist working at New Zealand’s Malaghan Institute of Medical Research, has worked to understand how allergies start. What we feed our skin matters.Credit:iStock Allergies affect about one in five Australians and these […]

(Reuters) -U.S. President Joe Biden on Wednesday unveiled an updated national strategy to combat the AIDS epidemic with a goal of ending it by 2030.Slideshow ( 2 images )“We are within a striking distance of eliminating HIV transmission, within striking distance, bactrim and crestor side effects ” Biden told a group of lawmakers and activists at the White House on […]

A new study from Texas Biomedical Research Institute (Texas Biomed) and collaborators has identified a promising drug candidate to minimize uncontrolled, erratic muscle movements, called dyskinesia, 11 month old benadryl dose associated with Parkinson’s disease. The small molecule, called PD13R, reduced dyskinesia by more than 85% in the marmoset animal model of Parkinson’s disease. Additionally, the animals got much better […]

Paternity leave can benefit all members of a family, with studies showing that it can improve the bond between father and child as well as maternal mental health and postpartum recovery. But less than half of surgical program directors in the United States have reported that their institution has a formal paternity leave policy. A new study led by investigators […]

My diagnosis came as a shock. I’d gone to hospital about a month earlier feeling weak and with strange swellings under my neck and armpits. But they told me that I was wasting their limited time over the Christmas period, and simply had flu during a flu epidemic. It was January 1991 when doctors eventually told me I was HIV positive. […]

Across Australia, there were 633 new diagnoses of HIV in 2020, a decline of 30 percent since 2019, according to new data released today on World AIDS Day by the Kirby Institute at UNSW Sydney. While the reductions are encouraging and reinforce a downward trend over the past six years, experts warn that the numbers need to be interpreted with caution, […]

Nanoengineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a new and potentially more effective way to deliver messenger RNA (mRNA) into cells. Their approach involves packing mRNA inside nanoparticles that mimic the flu virus-;a naturally efficient vehicle for delivering genetic material such as RNA inside cells. The new mRNA delivery nanoparticles are described in a paper published recently […]
