Achilles' heel to lower defenses of antibiotic-resistant bacteria found
[i]'Researchers at the University of East Anglia (UAE) in England have now uncovered an Achille's heel in the bacterial cell defenses that could mean that bacteria wouldn't develop drug-resistance in the first place. : : "The really exciting thing about this research is that new drugs will specifically

Hello everyone I have been away for 4 weeks so am catching up at the moment. I have had PMR for 7 yrs am on 10g pred, propranolol , thyroxin
and amitriptilyne 20gs. However recently I find that if I take amitryptiline after 7 30pm I wake in the night having hallucinations which is quite disturbing. Is any one else taking this med and getting the same problem I am fine if I take it on time.Thank you all for your helpful tips in the past Kathy

Why do doctors keep refering to 'temporal' arteritis instead of using the term 'giant cell' arteritis?
I read that giant cells can inflame any artery, causing lesions, blockages and damage to vital organs which can result in disability or death. This title is a misnomer and should be challenged! My very ignorant GP said I need only be concerned about having GCA headaches. When I said I had heart pain

CT scan series part 10 - Clinical Trial CT scan Context
CT scan series part 10 - Clinical Trial CT scan Context There is solid rationale for CT-scanning in a Clinical Trial setting that cannot be avoided but is it adequate or overkill? Who decides? There are so many newer drugs that promise better efficacy with less toxicity that it is hard to keep up with

Another Front Against Leukemia: Using Stem Cells to Make Bone Marrow Transplants Low-Risk
Another Israeli biotech firm (well, I guess that Karyopharm Therapeutics--the developer of KPT-330 being tested against Richter's--is only half-Israeli) is working on using stem cells to make bone marrow transplants extremely tolerable. It is an interesting technology. An article is here: http://israel21c.org

CT scan series part 5 – A bit about CT scanners
Let's first define some terms. I don't want to lose you in the detail of sievert (Sv) vs gray (Gy) as units of radiation measurement because there is no meaningful way you can calculate your individual risk based on adding up sources of ionizing radiation. Any assessment of risk must be done by statistical

colonoscopy
has anyone had a colonoscopy whilst on prednisolone, I had one 3 years ago before I was diagnosed with PMR and subsequently put on steroids. The bowel screening people have contacted me again but I don't know what to do I can't stop taking steroids and the stuff they give you to clear out your bowels

Has any one been told to prepare themselves for the possibility of a bone marrow transplant. I've had ET for 14years taking Hydrox in variou
Doses over the years. Told I had changed to MF only in November last year that was such a shock.Taken of Hydrox completely 4 weeks ago only take asprin at the moment. Due to anaemia sweats &fatigue & an enlarged spleen..its all happened so quickly. I feel they sew the seed to make you think talk to your

CT scan series part 4 - Everything needs context
But aren't we living with ionizing radiation all the time so what's the big deal? Correct, the average yearly exposure of a US resident is 3 to 3.2 mSv (milli sievert). Brian Koffman who spends much of his time at 30 thousand feet flying all over the place to bring us great interviews is probably getting

Misleading headlines - "Breakthrough cure" for MS
New results from stem cell transplantation research in mice have been published today, leading to misleading articles in a number of newspapers about what this could mean for people with MS. "Could stem cells help people paralysed by MS? Scientists reveal they are 'astonished' by landmark study" -

Bone marrow transplant
Hi. So I saw Dr Lachmann this week and he announces that my MRI shows a growing lesion on my brain, and that this means I may start getting ALD on top of my AMN. The only way to stop this is to do a bone marrow transplant, which is very very scary. Anyone has experience of this situation? And has anyone

Has anyone here successfully treated Diffuse Large B Cell lymphoma using CVP-R, minus the Vincristine?
My mother had one round of CHOP-R, but it affected her heart so adversely the doctor won't administer it anymore as he is afraid she might not survive through it. (So, she will continue with CVP-R, minus the Vincristine.) As a result he says we are no longer treating to cure, but to relieve symptoms

There's lots happening in Adoptive T-cell transfer technology cancer research - CAR-T being just one aspect
When Dr Carl June of the University of Pennsylvania, used chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) technology to provide an amazing cure in a CAR-T trial in 2011 for three CLL patients that had pretty well run out of options http://www.uphs.upenn.edu/news/News_Releases/2011/08/t-cells/ there were valid concerns

SLL and prognostic indicators
I'm reading articles which suggest that the chromosomal abnormalities of SLL are different from CLL, most especially absence of 17p del and prevalence of Trisomy 12. Does anyone know anything about this?

I have Giant Cell Arteritis and am reducing Prednisolone. Does anyone have terrible 'hot flushes' and itchy patches on skin?
Can anyone provide any remedial therapies for the above and if I can get completely off Prednisolone, will the 'hot flushes' stop.

Can anyone comment on Solgar Gentle Iron? Ferrous bisglycinate vs ferrous fumarate...
My ferritin was 19 (11-336) so I'd like to make a start so I bought what I found in my local health food shop. Generally I like Solgar products because they don't have a lot of junk in them, but I don't know how much to take of this iron. It is ferrous bisglycinate and not ferrous fumarate. Any thoughts
