7. Giardia loses its hold on intestinal tissue after 'tonic shock'
   12-03-2007 · EurekAlert!
   The single-celled intestinal parasite Giardia lamblia colonizes the upper small intestine by fastening to the microvillus brush border of intestinal cells. But exactly how Giardia attaches itself was unknown until now. At the American Society for Cell Biology annual meeting, University of California-Berkeley researchers present evidence that Giardia uses an osmotic 'suction cup' to hang on, a discovery that could make attachment a prime target for new treatments of Giardia infections.

10. Serum carcinoembryonic antigen level can reflect adrenal adenoma
    11-21-2007 · EurekAlert!
    Serum carcinoembryonic antigen level is widely used as a reliable tumor marker in cancer patients. Previous reports have demonstrated that CEA level is rarely elevated in benign disease, and to our knowledge there have been no reports of CEA-producing benign adrenal tumors. Recently, Dr. Hori and colleagues presented the first case of carcinoembryonic antigen-producing adrenal adenoma, and discussed their techniques of laparoscopic surgery.
