Excitatory Responses to Microinjection of Glutamate Depend on Dose Not Volume: A Meta-Analysis of Studies in Rat RVLM
Microinjection of the excitatory amino acid glutamate is commonly used to stimulate neuronal cell bodies in brainstem nuclei that are crucial for cardiovascular regulation, respiratory control, and other functions. One such nucleus, the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM), integrates afferent information to coordinate cardiovascular responses to changes in the environment. In the RVLM, an increase in mean blood pressure of ≥25 mmHg following glutamate microinjection is widely accepted as evidence of accurate localisation of this nucleus. However, the dose of glutamate, and injection volume, varies considerably between ...

How does antibiotic resistance spread? Scientists find answers in the nose
Microbiologists studying bacterial colonization in mice have discovered how the very rapid and efficient spread of antibiotic resistance works in the respiratory pathogen, Streptococcus pneumoniae (also known as the pneumococcus). The team found that resistance stems from the transfer of DNA between bacterial strains in biofilms in the nasopharynx, the area just behind the nose.

One in four children living in camps on the edge of the Somali capital are malnourished, according to an assessment conducted by Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF). In response to the critical situation, a team from MSF launched an emergency three-day intervention to provide urgent nutritional treatment and on-site medical care to children under the age of five. MSF medical staff visited 34 camps hosting more than 15,000 displaced people living with insufficient access to healthcare. Many have suffered multiple displacements and are extremely vulnerable.

WHO sets the record straight on work with the food and beverage industry
19 November 2012 -- WHO sets the record straight on work with the food and beverage industry. Several recent media articles are erroneously suggesting that in working to reduce noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) such as cardiovascular diseases, cancers, chronic respiratory diseases and diabetes, WHO receives funding from the food and beverage industry. The allegations in these articles are wrong.

Potential For Vaccine Strategies To Protect Babies From Respiratory Syncytial Virus
Research by the University of Warwick indicates that vaccinating families could protect young babies against a common winter virus which can be fatal for infants under six months. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) typically leads to mild, cold-like symptoms in adults and older children but can be more serious and even fatal in infants under the age of six months as it can lead to bronchiolitis and pneumonia. The virus is commonly found all over the world...

Muscle Paralysis In Dreaming Sleep, Mechanism Identified
Scientists have discovered what goes on when the brain mediates in inhibiting the critical breathing muscles during REM (rapid eye movement) when a person is sleeping, a report published in the Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine revealed. The authors, from the University of Toronto, Canada, explained that during REM sleep, there is a profound inhibition of muscle activity. This inactivity can affect the breathing muscles and is a cause of snoring and other breathing problems in sleep, as occurs in obstructive sleep apnea...
