Novel Approach For Rapid Identification And Development Of Malaria Vac
Malaria is the world?s most frequent parasitic disease, affecting more than 100 countries in the tropical zones, mostly in Africa, and 40% of the world population, with more than a million deaths per year. The development of a vaccine constitutes a major scientific and health challenge. Recent research has established a novel approach for the rapid discovery and development of vaccine candidates. Does Helicobacter Pylori Eradication Therapy Prevent Gastric Cancer?
A research team from Japan investigated whether eradication of H. pylori in peptic ulcer patients prevented gastric cancer. They found that eradication did not significantly reduce the incidence of cancer in their patients, who had a mean age of 52.9 years at registration, after a mean follow-up period of 5.6 years.

Ocean Data Confirms Fishing Puts Targeted Species In 'Double Jeopardy'
For the first time, a research study has shown that fishing can promote boom and bust swings in supplies of targeted fish stocks. Controversial Atkins Diet May Be Beneficial For People With Epilepsy
Imagine that your child with epilepsy could have seizures less frequently, by eating more protein and less carbs. The first comprehensive review of possible dietary treatments of epilepsy has recently been published. Among those dietary regimens is the low-carbohydrate Atkins Diet which has proven successful in suppressing epileptic seizures in a small series of patients. HIV's Path Out Of Africa: Haiti, The US Then The World
The AIDS virus entered the United States via Haiti, probably arriving in just one person in about 1969, earlier than previously believed, according to new research. The research is the first to definitively pinpoint when and from where HIV-1 entered the United States, and shows that most HIV/AIDS viruses in the US descended from a single common ancestor.

Using an innovative variation on conventional solution state NMR spectroscopy, scientists have produced a "nanovideo"that reveals in three dimensions how RNA molecules change shape--information that may prove useful in developing drugs against viruses such as HIV. Similar animations have been produced from theoretical calculations, but this one is based on actual experimental data and covers a much longer timescale than the simulations.
