New research indicates that patients with lesser degrees of celiac disease-related symptoms, such as intestinal inflammation or latent celiac disease, have a modestly increased risk of death, according to a study in the September 16 issue of JAMA. http://www.physorg.com/news172253396.html Medicine & Health Tue, 15 Sep 2009 18:10:03 EST news172253396 It was nine years ago that University of Maryland School of Medicine researchers discovered that a mysterious human protein called zonulin played a critical role in celiac disease and other autoimmune disorders, such as multiple sclerosis and diabetes. Now, scientists have solved the mystery of zonulin's identity, putting a face to the name, in a sense. Scientists led by Alessio Fasano, M.D., have identified zonulin as a molecule in the human body called haptoglobin 2 precursor. http://www.physorg.com/news171565111.html Medicine & Health Mon, 07 Sep 2009 18:50:01 EST news171565111 A newly published comparative effectiveness study demonstrated that asthma patients in general had better clinical outcomes with oral controllers than inhaled corticosteroids. http://www.physorg.com/news170494417.html Medicine & Health Wed, 26 Aug 2009 08:50:01 EST news170494417 University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston researchers have discovered that a form of vitamin B1 could become a new and effective treatment for one of the world's leading causes of blindness. http://www.physorg.com/news159729742.html Medicine & Health Thu, 23 Apr 2009 18:23:49 EST news159729742 An international team led by University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine researchers has identified genetic markers associated with risk for ulcerative colitis.
