Aggressive treatment for whiplash does not promote faster recovery

Whiplash, the most common traffic injury, leads to neck pain, headache and other symptoms, resulting in a significant burden of disability and health care utilization. Although there are few effective treatments for whiplash, a growing body of evidence suggests that the type and intensity of treatment received shortly after the injury have a long-lasting influence on the prognosis.

1. 2 microRNAs promote spread of tumor cells
   01-28-2008 · EurekAlert!
   Scientists at The Wistar Institute and their colleagues have identified two microRNAs that promote tumors' deadly spread. One of the miRNAs may provide an early warning of metastatic breast cancer and the need for aggressive treatment. In a study to be published Feb. 1 in Nature Cell Biology that is available online, the researchers describe how two miRNAs transformed non-invasive human breast cancer cells into cells that rapidly metastasized in cell cultures and mice.

2. Finnish scientists discovered a new approach to treat virus-induced lymphomas
   03-15-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Kaposi's sarcoma herpesvirus (KSHV) is a human tumor virus and an etiological agent for Kaposi’s sarcoma and primary effusion lymphoma (PEL). PELs are aggressive lymphomas with reported median survival time shorter than six months after diagnosis. Researchers at the University of Helsinki have discovered that activation of the p53 pathway offers a novel effective treatment modality for KSHV-infected lymphomas.

3. Jefferson oncologists show breast cancers to be more aggressive in African-American women
   07-09-2007 · EurekAlert!
   A study of more than 2,200 women shows that African-Americans have more advanced breast cancer at the time of diagnosis than Caucasians. African-American women tend to have breast cancer tumor types that are more aggressive and have poorer prognoses. The findings are in line with other recent studies, and provide more evidence of the continuing need for early breast cancer screening for African-American women and the development of individual treatment strategies.

   Research on rats with crushed spinal cords, similar to human injury, reveals that treatment soon after injury combining radiation therapy to destroy harmful cells and microsurgery to drain excess fluids significantly increases the body’s ability to repair the injured cord leading to permanent recovery from injury, according to the study published in the July 18 peer-reviewed journal PLoS ONE.

6. Liver fibrosis will be treated by a potential target
   10-16-2007 · EurekAlert!
   The hepatitis is either self recovery or its development into liver fibrosis or, further, liver cirrhosis. Since no ideal drug is available, liver fibrosis is currently considered to be a major worldwide health problem. A research conducted by by Dr. ZH Liu from Jilin University found that ARIP2 participates in the negative feedback regulation of signal transduction in the late stage by affecting the expression of ActRIIA, which further suggests that ARIP2 might be a potential target for treatment of liver fibrosis induced by activin.

8. Study offers innovative profile of enzyme that aids tumor growth
   10-20-2006 · EurekAlert!
   Using an innovative profiling strategy, scientists at the Scripps Research Institute have characterized an enzyme that is "highly elevated" in aggressive human tumor cells. When the enzyme, KIAA1363, was inactivated, it impaired tumor growth and migration in both ovarian and breast cancer cells, suggesting that inhibitors of this enzyme may prove valuable in the treatment of multiple types of cancer.
