Expert judgement and re–elicitation for prion disease risk uncertainties
Much uncertainty surrounds transmission of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) through blood and blood derived products. A first expert elicitation with 14 experts was conducted in March 2008, and a second re–elicitation involving 11 experts was held a year later in March 2009. Both expert groups were calibrated using a series of seed questions for which values are known, and then ...

Non-cancer disease mortality and risk analysis among medical X-ray workers in China
The non-cancer disease mortality (1950-1995) among 27 011 medical diagnostic X-ray workers was compared to that of 25 782 other medical specialists employed between 1950 and 1980 to provide evidence of human non-cancer disease death produced by protracted and fractionated exposure to ionising radiation and assess the resultant non-cancer disease death risk. The total non-cancer disease mortality ...

Dietary fibre and human health
Food habits of new lifestyle have contributed to the appearance of chronic diseases such as obesity or cardiovascular diseases, which are mainly due to bad eating habits. Solutions can be found in providing the consumers with functional foods and health capability. Such food is rich in dietary fibre, with specific physicochemical behaviour and healthy properties. Dietary fibre rich food products ...

Bovine spongiform encephalopathy and variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease risk management in the Netherlands
Imports of animal feeds containing contaminated meat and bone meal (MBM) from the UK and other countries in the late 1980s and early 1990s was identified as the major risk factor for an increased risk of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) entering into the Netherlands. The first BSE case was confirmed in March 1997. Early preventive measures, such as the 1989 domestic ban on ruminant MBM for ...

Microfluidic tools to investigate pathologies in the blood microcirculation
We show how microfluidics technology can be used to fabricate simple and innovative biomimetic tools to shed new light on physiopathological events occurring in the blood microcirculation. Examples of applications are given in the context of the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), an inflammatory disease of the lung triggered by a massive arrest of white blood cells in the lung ...

Maintaining Quality in Stem Cell Products: Recent Developments in Regulation (Series Part 1 of 4)
Background Stem cells are naturally occurring cells in the body that have the ability to divide and produce a range of different cell types. They are important in the growth and development of the body as well as repair after injury. The past few years have brought a dramatic increase in the body of knowledge concerning stem cells, and their research and investment into uses in medicines1. ...

New Approaches to Label Proteins Help Track Disease
Scientists at the Francis Crick Institute and Imperial College London have developed a new way to study proteins released by cells, which may spawn new tools to track diseases, including cancer. Biomarkers are invaluable tools that enable physicians to study biology and disease, for example, diagnose disease from blood or tissue samples, predict whether a treatment is effective for an ...

Enzyme Therapy and Cancer
Two groups of experiments were conducted at the Michael Rees Hospital in Chicago. The experimental group is 21 to 31 years old, and the control group is 69 to 100 years old. Researchers found that the salivary amylase of young people is more than 30 times that of older people. This is why young people can easily digest sugar, bread, noodles, pastries, and cooked food. But these foods accelerate ...

Research Shows a Link Between Loneliness and Dementia
Humans are inherently social beings who thrive on making and maintaining social relationships. Connecting with and supporting one another forms deep bonds that make us feel seen, valued, and like we belong. These social interactions are not only important for our emotional well-being but also for our physical well-being-maybe even more so than originally thought. Loneliness, an increasingly ...

Bovine spongiform encephalopathy and variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease risk management in Spain
Despite the widespread occurrence of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in European countries in the late 1990s and the European Commission Scientific Steering Committee (SSC) report that cattle in Spain were likely infected with BSE agent, Spanish authorities continued to consider their country BSE-free. Some key European Union (EU) regulations to reduce BSE risk were enforced with delay, ...

HBOT for Complementary Therapy
If you’re considering HBOT, it’s important to understand the benefits and risks this therapy entails. The treatment should be discussed with a certified healthcare professional to develop a plan of action based on scientific evidence and tailored to your exact condition. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can be used as complementary therapy to address several medical problems. The theory ...

Landmark study confirms that controlled blood pressure is key to prevent stroke, heart disease
Follow-up data from the landmark SPRINT study of the effect of high blood pressure on cardiovascular disease have confirmed that aggressive blood pressure management — lowering systolic blood pressure to less than 120 mm Hg — dramatically reduces the risk of heart disease, stroke, and death from these diseases, as well as death from all causes, compared to lowering ...

Special Genes May Affect the Level of Lipopolysaccharide in the Body’s Blood
Transfer of lipopolysaccharide from gram-negative bacteria into the systemic circulation of the body leads to the development of endotoxemia, which is detected in cardiometabolic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and obesity in addition to acute infections. Lipopolysaccharide is a virulence factor produced by bacteria, which often triggers systemic inflammation through the body's ...

Arterial reconstruction with human bioengineered acellular blood vessels in patients with peripheral arterial disease
Abstract Objective: Vascular conduit is essential for arterial reconstruction for a number of conditions, including trauma and atherosclerotic occlusive disease. We have developed a tissue-engineered human acellular vessel (HAV) that can be manufactured, stored on site at hospitals, and be immediately available for arterial vascular reconstruction. Although the HAV is acellular when implanted, ...
