Repeat HPV test
improves specificity of cervical screening
Medscape Medical News
Share
Repeat testing for high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) using self-sampling of vaginal fluid may increase specificity of cervical cancer screening and reduce unnecessary treatment in women aged 30 to 65 years. The study goal was to assess the improvement in specificity for detecting histologically confirmed CIN2+ lesions associated with short-time repeat testing for high-risk HPV in women aged 30 to 65 years, using self-sampling to
obtain the primary sample for HPV analysis

Mosquito research feels bite of budget cuts
NPR
Share
State laboratories around the country are testing mosquitoes to warn people about the presence of the West Nile virus, but federal and state budget cuts are threatening some of those labs. Since West Nile was first found in the U.S. in 1999, the virus has spread and established itself as an annual concern. Last year, 57 people in the U.S. died from the virus. It causes a mild illness in most healthy adults, but the elderly are
particularly vulnerable. So far this year, three people have died.

New NIH rules for conflict of interest
Heartwire via Medscape
Share
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is tightening up its conflict-of-interest rules for researchers, scientists, and physicians, but such financial conflicts will not be made available immediately to the public. Instead, the academic institutions are given the option to disclose industry ties and post them on the internet, with all financial conflicts of interest disclosed on a request-only basis. The finalized
reporting rules of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), an agency of the HHS, were released Aug. 23, and affect more than 40,000 federally funded researchers who also receive payment or stock from drug and medical-device companies.

Gene therapy for immune disorder lasts 9 years
Bloomberg
Share
Fourteen of 16 children with the rare immune disorder sometimes called "bubble boy disease" were well enough to attend school from two to nine years after they were treated, showing the benefit is maintained over time. The rare illness, affecting about 40 to 100 babies each year, leaves them unable to fight germs, making any infection potentially deadly. Researchers corrected genetic flaws in the children’s bone marrow to
enable their immune systems to function, and have followed the children's progress since.
