- First-ever study: lack of critical lubricant causes wear in joints
11-06-2007 · EurekAlert!
For the first time, researchers have linked increased friction with early wear in the joints of animals. Work led by Brown University physician and engineer Gregory Jay, MD, shows mice that do not produce the protein lubricin begin to show wear in their joints less than two weeks after birth. This finding not only points up the protective power of lubricin but also suggests that it could be used to prevent joint wear after an injury.

- Chronically sleep deprived? You can't make up for lost sleep
07-02-2007 · EurekAlert!
Little is known about the health consequences of chronic partial sleep loss -- losing a little bit of sleep over a period of days, months or even years. Now Northwestern University researchers have discovered that when animals are partially sleep deprived over consecutive days they do not attempt to catch up on sleep, despite an accumulating sleep deficit. Their study is the first to show that repeated partial sleep loss negatively affects an animal's ability to compensate for lost sleep.

- Study shows interruption of antiretroviral therapy increases risk of disease and death
11-30-2006 · EurekAlert!
Findings from one of the largest HIV/AIDS therapy studies show that a specific strategy of interrupting antiretroviral therapy more than doubles the risk of AIDS or death from any cause. Researchers affiliated with the Mailman School of Public Health led a large multi-center international study, known as Strategies for Management of Anti-Retroviral Therapies, or SMART, comparing two treatment strategies for people with human immunodeficiency virus. Findings demonstrate the value of continuous antiretroviral therapy.
