HIV gradually depletes the number of functioning B cells, an antibody that fights infections, according to a recent study published in the Journal of Experimental medicine that reveals another method used by HIV to affect the immune system, IANS/Thaindian News reports.According to researchers from

Researchers at Yale School of medicine have found signs of an apparent connection between bullying, being bullied and suicide in children, according to a new review of studies from 13 countries published in the International Journal of Adolescent Medicine and health.

A group of Canadian and European researchers have unlocked the mystery of a gene with the potential to regulate and block ovulation. The new study - a collaboration between the Universite de Montreal in Canada and the Institut de génetique et biologie moléculaire et cellulaire of the Université de Louis Pasteur, Strasbourg, France - is published in the current issue of the journal Genes & Development.

Researchers at Rhode Island hospital have identified two potential molecular markers that may predict outcomes for patients with stomach cancer, one of the most common and fatal cancers worldwide. According to the study, published in Clinical cancer Research, patients who had poor outcomes following surgery for stomach cancer also had extremely low amounts of two proteins, known as gastrokine 1 and 2 (GKN1 and GKN2), which are produced by normal stomach cells.

A large study published in The Lancet Oncology has found that there are wide variations in cancer survival rates between and within many countries around the world. Professor Michel Coleman (Cancer Research UK Cancer Survival Group and London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine) and over 100 colleagues working on the CONCORD study analyzed 31 countries that provided data on cancer survival.

A study published July 18 in the open-access journal PLoS Computational Biology describes a new model for understanding the way in which HIV escapes the immune system's attempts to destroy it. The paper, written by researchers from Utrecht University, The Netherlands, analyzes the interactions between the immune system and an elusive, mutating virus. In order to avoid recognition by the human immune system, HIV generates viral variants called 'escape mutants.

Some people may be naturally resistant to infection with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. The results of a study conducted by Dr. Nicole Bernard of the Research Institute of the McGill University health Centre (MUHC) bring us closer to a genetic explanation. Her study findings were published on July 16 in the journal AIDS.

A new study published in the July issue of Archives of Ophthalmology finds that eye exam frequency among Hispanic patients with diabetes is smaller than the national average for Hispanics. Beatriz Muñoz, M.Sc. (Wilmer Eye Institute, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore) and colleagues also report that diabetic Hispanics are unaware that diabetes is associated with eye disorders.
