In a previous issue, the authors discussed the pain generators in the lumbar spine that result in low back pain. Being part of the spinal column, the cervical spine has the same pain generators: paraspinal muscles, ligaments, nerve root, outer third of the intervertebral disk, periosteum, and facet joint; these are all discussed in this issue. However, the cervical spine does have several differences from the lumbar spine, which has clinical implications. The spinal cord is within the cervical spine, unlike the lumbar spine, where the cord ends at L1 in adults. The facet joints are oriented differently, allowing for more r...

An overwhelming majority of Wyoming voters - 88 percent - support food safety legislation that would give the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) new authority to ensure the food Americans eat does not make them sick, according to a new poll commissioned by the Pew Health Group and conducted by Hart Research and Public Opinion Strategies. Support for stronger food protections is high regardless of voters' gender, income level or political affiliation.

Viruses are microscopically sized parasites. They plant their genes in the cells of their victim in order to 'reprogram' them. The infected cells then no longer produce what they need to live, making lots of new viruses instead. Luckily, in most cases this hostile takeover does not go unnoticed. This is ensured by the cells' own sensors that recognise alien genetic material. One of them is RIG-I. When RIG-I encounters virus genes, it ensures that the body releases interferon.

Slowing Evolution To Stop Drug ResistanceEmail this article to a colleague.

The resistance of infectious organisms to antibiotics is particularly serious in drugs against fungi. Fungal cells are similar to human cells, which means that it is difficult to develop effective drugs that can destroy them without also damaging human cells, i.e. without causing side effects. We must therefore safeguard the effectiveness of the few antifungal drugs that are available today. Resistance to these would leave many diseases without effective treatment.

(BioMed Central) Money available to treat HIV/AIDS is sufficient to end the epidemic globally, but only if we act immediately to control the spread of the disease, according to research published in BMC Public Health. This approach defies conventional thinking, which recommends gradual spending over 15-20 years. The study was based on a mathematical model developed by mathematicians and biologists, who recently earned acclaim for a study on how best to handle a planetary invasion by zombies.

Summary. Recurrent hepatitis C is a common cause of graft loss in patients undergoing liver transplantation, and serial protocol liver biopsies have been used to identify patients at risk of graft loss from rapid fibrosis progression. The aim of this study was to derive a simple noninvasive index to predict fibrosis in patients with recurrent hepatitis C post-transplant. A retrospective study was performed assessing serial liver biopsies for post-transplant chronic hepatitis C infection. One hundred eighty-five patients were included in the analysis; median age 53 years (interquartile range 48[ndash]59) and 140 (76%) were ...

Conclusions:
Self-reported data could provide useful quantitative information on drug intake and administration. Under strict methodological conditions this method, easy to implement, can be used to describe patients' behaviours and their use of new anti-malarial treatment. Self-reported data is a major tool for assessing compliance in resource poor countries. Blood and urine drug dosages provide qualitative results that confirm any drug intake. Urine assays for SP could be useful to obtain public health data, for example on chemoprophylaxis among pregnant women.

Discuss or comment on this article.
We report here that the protozoan parasite Cryptosporidium parvum induced B7‐H1 expression in cultured human cholangiocytes. Induced expression of B7‐H1 was identified in cells after exposure to infective C. parvum parasite or parasite lysate. Interestingly, the level of microRNA‐513 (miR‐513) was reduced in cells after exposure to C. parvum, which resulted in a relief of 3′ untranslated region–mediated translational suppression of B7‐H1. Overexpression of miR‐513 through transfection of miR‐513 precursor inhibited C. parvum–induced B7‐H1 protein expression. Moreover, enhanced apoptotic cell death was...
