- Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug increases liver damage in mice carrying mutant human gene
11-15-2006 · EurekAlert!
Research performed at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis sheds light on the mechanisms that contribute to liver disease in alpha-1-AT deficiency patients. People with alpha-1-deficiency have a genetic mutation that can lead to emphysema at an early age and to liver damage. Using an experimental mouse model of the disorder, the researchers investigated the effects of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug on liver injury.

- Acute pancreatitis and cholangitis: a complication caused by a migrated gastrostomy tube
10-25-2007 · EurekAlert!
Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy is generally considered to be safe with a low rate of serious complications. However, dislocation of a gastrostomy tube can lead to serious complications. A research group led by Dr. Imamura experienced a very rare complication of acute pancreatitis and cholangitis caused by migrated gastrostomy tube. It is important to secure a PEG-tube at skin level, especially a couple of days after it is replaced.

- The more we get, the more we need: Study shows how to prevent morphine 'tolerance'
11-01-2007 · EurekAlert!
Tolerance to the pain-relieving effects of morphine -- which builds rapidly with prolonged use -- can be prevented by blocking a substance that's formed when the drug is taken, researchers at Saint Louis University have discovered. Their findings could lead to new therapies that allow morphine to be administered without patients becoming tolerant of it -- a significant obstacle to effective pain relief -- nor experiencing a host of severe side effects that accompany escalating doses of the painkiller.

- LIAI researchers identify a potential role for retinoic acid in autoimmune and inflammatory diseases
06-14-2007 · EurekAlert!
An important finding, which could eventually lead to a new therapeutic approach for treating autoimmune and inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, colitis, psoriasis and others, was announced today by researchers at the La Jolla Institute for Allergy & Immunology. The studies, conducted in laboratory mice, demonstrated the role of retinoic acid, a substance derived when vitamin A is broken down in the body, in regulating inflammation.

- Bariatric surgery complication rates high in some hospitals, new HealthGrades ratings and study show
11-13-2006 · EurekAlert!
In-hospital bariatric surgery complication rates vary dramatically among the nation's hospitals, according to a study released today by HealthGrades, the leading healthcare ratings company. The study of 86,520 bariatric-surgery procedures performed over the years 2002 through 2004 finds that a typical patient receiving the procedure in a five-star rated hospital would have, on average, a 66 percent lower chance of developing one or more major inhospital complications compared with a one-star rated hospital.
