Routine Feeding Of Antibiotics To Livestock May Be Contaminating The E
It is estimated that between 9 and 13 million kilograms of antibiotics are used annually in the United States for raising livestock, with the majority being used for growth advancement and disease prevention purposes. Large amounts of antibiotics fed to livestock are excreted and end up in animal manure, which is commonly applied to agricultural land to provide crop nutrients. Therefore, food crops grown on manure-altered soils are exposed to antibiotics. Saving Disappearing Marine Resources Needs Both Scientific And Indigen

New Drug Candidate Knocks Out Resistant Form Of Chronic Myeloid Leukem
Researchers have found a new, experimental drug candidate it to be effective against a highly resistant mutation in chronic myeloid leukemia. Gleevec continues to be remarkably successful in the vast majority of patients. However, for those patients who develop resistance, incorporating a targeted T315I inhibitor such as SGX393 into the suite of available CML drugs in the clinic is urgently needed. This is not equivalent to cure, but it could potentially represent an important advance in disease management with CML inhibitor therapy. The Official Nathan Hale Website
