Survey shows prevalence of diarrhea in people living with HIV   Napo Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a human health company developing and commercializing novel gastrointestinal prescription products from plants used traditionally in rainforest areas, and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jaguar Health, Inc., today released the results of a survey of 350 people living with HIV and AIDS on "Talking to Your Doctor About Symptoms".       Researchers suggest role for MKL1 protein in development of inflammatory bowel disease   Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including the two conditions ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, results in long-term inflammation of the gut and is associated with dysregulation of the immune system.

Gingival Cysts in Newborns   Also known as dental lamina cysts or alveolar cysts, gingival cysts may occur in newborns and originate from the vestiges of dental lamina that has degenerated. These remnants give rise to the gingival cysts and are lined by epithelium, which is capable of producing keratin.         Hypospadias outcomes   Hypospadias can be corrected using surgery to achieve normal appearance and functioning of the penis. The outcomes of the surgery can be assessed depending upon the rate of complication, psychological factors such as psychosexual life and cosmetic look of the penis, and functional outcomes such as sexuality and micturition.         Tgen And Baylor secure federal grant to develop early detection system for pancreatic cancer   A group of the nation's premier cancer researchers led by the Baylor Scott & White Research Institute and the Translational Genomics Research Institute -- has secured a $5.13 million federal grant to develop an early detection system for pancreatic cancer, the nation's third-leading cause of cancer-related death.

Opioids after surgery left her addicted. Is that a medical error?   In April this year, Katie Herzog checked into a Boston teaching hospital for what turned out to be a nine-hour-long back surgery.       Scientists develop new, high resolution method for identifying microbial species and strains   Scientists from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, Sema4, and collaborating institutions New York University and the University of Florida today published a report detailing their new, more accurate method for identifying individual microbial species and strains in a community.       Genetic Analysis and Bio-Rad enter into supply and distribution agreement for GA-map clinical test   Genetic Analysis and Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., a global provider of life science research and clinical diagnostic products, today announced that they have signed a supply and distribution agreement for Genetic Analysis’s GA-map™ clinical test for gut dysbiosis.       Protein structure could pave way for effective drugs to treat cystic fibrosis   Biochemists at the University of Zurich have used cryo-electron microscopy to determine the detailed architecture of the chloride channel TMEM16A. This protein is a promising target for the development of effective drugs to treat cystic fibrosis.       20% of young colon cancer patients have inherited genetic abnormality, research finds   As doctors grapple with increasing rates of colorectal cancers in young people, new research from the University of Michigan may offer some insight into how the disease developed and how to prevent further cancers.       Mature cells also play role in initiating cancer, study suggests   Rapidly dividing, yet aberrant stem cells are a major source of cancer. But a new study suggests that mature cells also play a key role in initiating cancer -; a finding that could upend the way scientists think about the origin of the disease.       Cysts of the Jaws   Jaw cysts are sack-like pouches that fill with fluid and form within the tissues of the jaw. These growths are not just limited to the jaws, because they can form anywhere within or on the body. Jaw cysts are generally benign in nature and non-cancerous growths, but may present with malignant degeneration very rarely.
