A new study said that Botulinum toxin, commonly known as Botox could offer an effective new treatment for two forms of neuropathy, pain caused by different types of nerve injury. The study appeared in Anesthesia & Analgesia.
- Read more about Vasculotide drug Effective Against Multiple Strains of Influenza Including Swine Flu
Scientists found the drug was effective in two different strains of mice and three different strains of flu believe the drug could be effective in animals other than mice, including humans. Scientists in Canada developed a new drug that are effective against flu virus.People who die from the flu actually die from respiratory failure, when the lung's tiny blood vessels start leaking fluid into the lung's air sacs. Instead of targeting the virus that causes flu, the new drug can prevent the blood vessels from leaking fluid into the lung's air sacs.

Hepatitis B virus is a leading cause of liver disease. Hepatitis B is a potentially life-threatening liver infection caused by the hepatitis B virus. It is a major global health problem. A new study has found that an antiviral drug telbivudine prevents perinatal transmission of hepatitis B virus (HBV). The study is published in Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology.

- Read more about India, US start joint research on ‘Prevention of Sexually Transmitted Diseases & HIV/AIDS’ soon
The Indian Council on Medical Research (ICMR) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH), US, will soon begin collaborative research on ‘Prevention of Sexually Transmitted Diseases & HIV/AIDS’. The joint research programme will also have thrust on HIV and AIDS-associated co-morbidities. Under this, the focus will be on utilsation of new/enhanced therapeutics for HIV-related co-morbidities such as HCV and their impact on disease outcomes; and enhanced targeted outreach strategies for HCV testing, prevention, and treatment/care engagement; integrated approaches for addressing the complex bio-behavioral factors associated with HCV/HIV. In this regard a joint Indo-US workshop is proposed to be held in September 2015 to encourage investigators for the Indo-US collaborative projects. Under translational research, the focus will be on studies to develop and test innovative HIV prevention strategies in young populations, particularly adolescents; and also on studies to better understand linkages between reproductive health options and HIV infection in men and women.
- Read more about High level of Zinc in Diet cause Kidney Stone Formation
A new research claims, the high level of zinc in the body may contribute to kidney stone formation. Zinc is key nutrient that is required for body. It may be the core by which stone formation starts, showed the results that might ultimately lead to the identification of new preventive and therapeutic approaches for urinary stone and diseases related to it. The study appeared in the scientific journal PLOS ONE.

US researchers have found that the more the hunter-gatherers smoke cannabis, the less they are infected by intestinal worms. The findings suggest that they may unconsciously be, in effect, smoking medical marijuana. The study appeared in the American Journal of Human Biology.
- Read more about Amgen, Roche joined for study on cancer immunotherapy with talimogene laherparepvec & atezolizumab
Amgen join with Roche on a phase 1b study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of talimogene laherparepvec, Amgen's investigational oncolytic immunotherapy, in combination with Roche's investigational anti-PDL1 therapy, atezolizumab (also known as MPDL3280A), in patients with triple-negative breast cancer and colorectal cancer with liver metastases.
- Read more about A Gene TBC1D16 Responsible for Metastasis of Tumor That Leads to Cancer Deaths
Researchers has found the mechanism whereby cancerous cells manage to spread from their original location to other parts of the body through the process known as metastasis.. A new study has found the mechanism of metastasis. Researchers compared the genetic material in the primary tumor's cells with the genetic material from metastasized cells in the same patient. They found that among all patient's genes, there is just one that clearly differs between those two groups. That gene, known as TBC1D16, in the initial tumor is inactive or dormant, while in the metastasized phase it is still active.
