Swine Flu More Dangerous Than Originally Believed

A detailed study of the Swine Flu, or H1N1 virus, shows that the pathogen is more dangerous than originally thought. The study, conducted by an international team of researchers led by Yoshihiro Kawaoka, proves that the virus is different than seasonal influenza due to its ability to penetrate and infect deeper into the lungs. This characteristic makes the Swine Flu especially potent and a huge threat similar to the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic.

Study May Shed Light on Potential Treatments for Staph Infections

A recent study conducted at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center focused on what occurs to a person's immune system during a severe staph infection. By focusing on a snapshot in time during severe infection, researchers hope such information will help them formulate more effective treatments for staph infections, including MRSA, in the future. The study revealed what genes turn on and off in a person's immune system. The research team plans to study other conditions surrounding the periods before, during and after infection and how different staph-infection therapies affect treatment.
