Is religion good for your health?

Science and religion, anyone? Come now, stifle those yawns. A paper published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B1 this week claims to offer a fresh perspective, with the startling suggestion that religion is a way to protect us from disease.
The general idea behind this theory — that religion is mainly a social construct — is actually much older than the authors, Corey Fincher and Randy Thornhill of the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, acknowledge 
New Species of Infectious Disease

While investigating the tropical disease leptospirosis in the Peruvian Amazon, an infectious disease specialist from the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine has uncovered new, emerging bacteria that may be responsible for up to 40 percent of cases of the disease.

Pneumonia contracted outside a hospital caused by a staph bacterium, including a "superbug" strain, may be more common in U.S. children than previously thought, health officials said on Wednesday.
Pandemic Hot Spots Map a Path to Prevention

A new study maps out areas of the world that researchers think are most likely to breed the killer diseases of the future—and the highlighted countries are not the ones getting most of the resources for disease prevention. The analysis is part of a budding effort to identify emerging viruses in particular and prevent future pandemics from reaching their full potential.
How to Stop the Spread of Infectious Disease ?

For the first time ever, an international team of researchers has mapped out the areas around the world where infectious diseases, passed from animals to humans, have originated. Using data that dates back to the early 1940s, the study concludes that diseases that originate in animals, called zoonoses, are the biggest threat to humans today.
Disease monitors "looking in the wrong places"

The world's health watchdogs are looking in the wrong places for the next dangerous epidemics, according to an analysis of global trends in emerging disease outbreaks over the past few decades. Health leaders need global strategy for spotting disease threats.
Bug slime's surprising effect on disease

The decision to make slime or not can depend on "quorum sensing," in which bacteria detect how dense the colony is. Carey Nadell at Princeton University and colleagues designed a computer model of biofilms and found that if some bacteria turn off slime production when density is great and focus on reproducing, they can burst out of the biofilm and proliferate. But after a while they are suffocated when the bacteria that kept making slime mount up. The study unveils a key difference between acute and chronic infections.
Northwestern exposing most deadly infectious diseases in 3-D

The unearthly creature looks like something out of a sci-fi flick, but the horror is real. This 3-D image that seems to leap out of the computer screen into the lab is a protein from the deadly antrax bacteria. Northwestern University is directing a $31 national project to map proteins in 3-D from the most deadly infectious diseases. This fresh view will help scientists design new drugs to disable these diseases.

"The results show a high proportion of DEC among Tanzanian children with diarrhea, with typical EAEC and typical EPEC predominating. The use of primers for both variants of ST1 (st1a and st1b) increased the sensitivity for detection of ETEC strains."

Doctors said on Tuesday, a Vietnamese woman who was seven months pregnant has died of bird flu, the country's third human death from the virus this year.
A new method for distinction between bacterial and viral infections
nujatiju submitted, created time 1 year 4 months (www.sciencedirect.com)
This landmark study describes a novel marker of local and systemic bacterial infections designated “clinical infection score (CIS) point”, which incorporates quantitative analysis of CR1 and CR3 on neutrophils and standard clinical laboratory data, CRP and ESR. CIS point varied between 0 and 8, and displayed 98% sensitivity and 97% specificity in distinguishing between bacterial and viral infections. It is well proved that the diagnostic yield of individual infection markers in distinguishing between bacterial and viral infections increases upon combination.
