Psychoactive Drugs and Infectious Diseases
A. J. S. Rayl | Apr 16, 2000 | 10+ min read
For nearly a century, it's been known that drugs of abuse alter the immune system. Since the outbreak of the AIDS epidemic in the early 1980s, however, an explosion of data has given rise to a rapidly evolving area of research. Investigators around the world have shown that such psychoactive drugs as heroin, morphine, cocaine, and marijuana affect both the neurophysiologic and immunologic systems. In recent years, researchers have produced strong experimental evidence that these drugs of a

The Infection-Chronic Disease Link Strengthens
Ricki Lewis | Sep 3, 2000 | 6 min read
Infection" is usually associated with an oozing sore, a bout with the flu, or an outbreak in some exotic place. But infectious organisms lie behind many chronic illnesses too, and an increasingly molecular approach to diagnosis is clarifying some of these relationships. An invited panel discussed "The Infectious Etiology of Chronic Diseases" at the second International Conference on Emerging Infectious Diseases, held in Atlanta July 16-19. Chronic diseases take a huge toll. "In the [United St

Morris Animal Foundation Fills A Void By Funding Companion Animal Research
Judy Henderson | Jul 19, 1992 | 5 min read
Morris Animal Foundation of Englewood, Colo., which since 1948 has spent nearly $9 million to fund studies to improve the diagnosis and treatment of injuries and disease in companion animals; has begun to provide matching grants for training programs in animal behavior, as well. Behavior that is unacceptable to owners is one of the leading reasons that millions of pets are left at animal shelters each year, according to the foundation. This spring the foundation awarded its first matching gran
Gene Therapists Aim for Parkinson's Disease
Douglas Steinberg | Oct 1, 2001 | 7 min read
At first blush, gene therapy seems ill-suited to treating Parkinson's disease (PD). Scientists have linked few cases to missing or mutated genes and are generally clueless about the disease's cause. But the need for some relief from its debilitating symptoms is so great that gene therapy researchers have labored over the past decade to develop counter-strategies. These studies have had promising results. When the brains of rat and monkey PD models express certain transgenes, the animals show les
