Bacteriophages targeting C. difficile: magic bullets against superbugs? |
 |
 |
|
Science Daily: Dr. Clokie and her team have achieved the remarkable feat of isolating and characterising the largest known set of distinct C. diff phages that infect clinically relevant strains of C. diff. Of these, a specific mixture of phages have been proved, through extensive laboratory testing, to be effective against 90% of the most clinically relevant C. diff strains currently seen in the U.K.

Sleeping brain clears beta-amyloid via the glymphatic system. |
|
|
|
Science Daily: Previous studies suggest that toxic molecules involved in neurodegenerative disorders accumulate in the space between brain cells. In this study, the researchers tested whether the glymphatic system controls this by injecting mice with labeled beta-amyloid, a protein associated with Alzheimer's disease, and measuring how long it lasted in their brains when they were asleep or awake. Beta-amyloid disappeared faster in mice brains when the mice were asleep, suggesting sleep normally clears toxic molecules from the brain.

What is the law of urination and why is 21 seconds important? (Streaming video) |
|
|
|
Huffpo: Researchers at Georgia Tech have compiled footage of animals peeing to prove their "law of urination," which states that mammals take about 21 seconds to pee. Male or female, small bladder or big bladder, it doesn't matter. Elephants, farm animals, dogs and any mammal above a kilogram in weight require a similar time frame to relieve themselves, give or take 13 seconds.

European Hypertension Guideline update helps fill U.S. void while waiting for JNC8 |
|
|
|
Family Practice News: The European Society of Cardiology’s new edition of hypertension management guidelines, produced in collaboration with the European Society of Hypertension, contrasts with the conspicuous void in U.S. practice that’s been widely acknowledged for a few years now: the Seventh Report of the Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure (JNC 7), the prevailing version of U.S. hypertension-management guidelines, is a decade old and outdated.
