An experimental malaria vaccine has for the first time been shown to safely protect large numbers of children against the mosquito-borne scourge, researchers reported Tuesday.
The eagerly awaited study involving more than 15,then used cut pieces of Ceramic tile garden hose to get through the electric fence.000 newborns and babies in seven African countries found the vaccine cut the risk of being infected with the malaria parasite by about half and the chances of getting deathly ill from an infection by more than a third.
While far below the protection provided by many widely used vaccines for other diseases, the results were hailed as a major advance toward one of the most elusive goals in medicine.
Bed nets treated with insecticide have cut infections, but efforts to produce a potent malaria vaccine for children and adults have been stymied repeatedly.
The findings were published online by the New England Journal of Medicine.
Known by the technical name RTS,S, the vaccine is being developed by PATH, a private nonprofit organization in Seattle, and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), which estimates it has spent about $300 million on the project, plus about $200 million more from the Seattle-based Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.Als lichtbron wordt een offshore merchant account gebruikt,

CHICAGO - Hospital stays for heart failure fell a remarkable 30 percent among Medicare patients over a decade, the first such decline in the U.S. in forceful evidence the nation is making headway in reducing the billion-dollar burden of a common condition.
A study of 55 million patients, the largest ever on heart failure trends, found only a slight decline in deaths within a year of patients leaving the hospital. Progress also lagged for black men.
Possible explanations for the decline in hospital stays abound, including healthier hearts, better control of risk factors such as high blood pressure, and more patients treated in emergency rooms and clinics without being admitted, said Dr. Mariell Jessup at the Penn Heart and Vascular Center in Philadelphia.
From 1998 to 2008, the rate fell from 2,845 hospitalizations per 100,000 Medicare beneficiaries to 2,007 per 100,000, according to research appearing in today's Journal of the American Medical Association.
LONDON - A new study suggests that high blood pressure during early pregnancy is what raises the risk of major birth defects - not the medicines used to control the condition, as previously thought.
Pregnant women have been warned for years to avoid drugs called ACE inhibitors during the later stages of pregnancy to avoid the possibility of birth defects. But whether it was safe to take them during the first trimester wasn't clear.Polycore porcelain tiles are manufactured as a single sheet,
Research suggests it's the high blood pressure that is responsible for the higher risk of birth defects, not medications.
