[According to the LA Times], it’s a virus: New evidence indicates that children who are exposed to a virus called adenovirus-36 are more likely to be obese than those who are not exposed to it, and to be heavier than other obese kids who were not exposed to it, researchers said this week. The virus…is one of 10 bacteria and viruses that have been associated with a propensity for putting on plural poundage. Maybe this explains why I and two of my sisters all became fat in the same year. Well, that — combined with the fact that we had just moved to a new neighborhood where there were no kids we knew to play outside with, and we started taking a bus to school instead of walking, and “Dark Shadows” had just started, leadi...

All viral vaccines must either be stored frozen, or kept at low temperatures. If they are not properly stored, they lose potency and do not confer protection against infection. The decay of vaccine potency is a particular problem in underdeveloped regions that lack a continuous network of stable, refrigerated storage facilities – the ‘cold chain’. To solve this problem, the World Health Organization developed a portable kerosene-fired freezer to maintain the potency of oral poliovirus vaccine. A new method for drying vaccines could radically change the dependency of vaccines on the cold chain. The effect of elevated temperature on v... virology blog blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3334928 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 03:36:25 +0100 3334928 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3082990&cid=t_143448_139_f&fid=38879&url=http%3A%2F%2Fmedia.rawvoice.com%2Fpmn_twiv%2Fwww.twiv.tv%2FTWiV062.mp3 Hosts: Vincent Racaniello, Dickson Despommier, and Alan Dove On episode #62 of the podcast This Week in Virology, Vincent, Dickson, and Alan discuss STEP HIV-1 vaccine failure caused by the adenovirus vector, presence of West Nile virus in kidneys for years after initial infection, adaptation of the influenza viral RNA polymerase for replication in human cells, and the significance of the D225G change in the influenza HA protein.

The writing on the package of zinc-laden lozenges promised to ’shorten your cold’, and noted that they were ‘clinically proven to reduce the duration of the common cold’. Do zinc lozenges have any effect on the common cold? The common cold is the primary cause of doctor visits in the United States, leading to 189 million lost school days each year. But it’s important to point out that the common cold can be caused by a number of different viruses, including rhinovirus, coronavirus, influenza virus, adenovirus, and paramyxovirus. Rhinoviruses are responsible for over half of all common colds. The idea that zinc... virology blog blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3016940 Thu, 08 Oct 2009 14:58:46 +0100 3016940 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1122607&cid=t_143448_107_f&fid=36585&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.feedburner.com%2F%7Er%2FHighlightHealth%2F%7E3%2F208797533%2F This article was published on Highlight HEALTH.
