CIMC'2001: A cost-effectiveness study of enteral immune modulating nutrition in intensive care patients

Nevertheless, the development of immunonutrition (IMN), a special form of enteral feed supplemented with specific nutrients (omega-3 fatty acids, arginine, nucleotides and sometimes glutamine) has demonstrated a beneficial effect on patients' immune systems [8]. The advantages of IMN have been demonstrated in a number of studies [9-20]. Two recent meta-analyses have concluded that the use of IMN results in a significant reduction in infection rates, and as a consequence, shorter durations of hospital stay [21-22].

RedGage profile by Obsessable

RedGage is a website that aggregates many of your social networking and blogging content in one feed, puts advertising on it, and then gives you a cut of the ad revenue, with a tracker on the page telling you and everyone else how much money that page has made.
RedGage is currently only open to a small community of users, but contingent on receiving the investment it needs it will open up to the public eventually. It resembles FriendFeed, bringing all your stuff into one convenient place, but with the added money-making aspect.
In addition to ad dollars, you'll also get bonuses, and they reflect your page's influence and level of activity in addition to page views. Right now, no one's making very much money from RedGage (only a few dollars per page at most) but that could change as the site gains prominence. Time will tell.

Eating Your Way to Prostate Cancer - Life Extension

A plethora of research documents the role of chronic inflammatory mediators such as 5-lipooxygenase (5-LOX) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) in the manifestation and progression of prostate and other cancers.7-19,30,31,33,49,52-54,87,88

The typical American diet is high in omega-6 fatty acids, saturated fats, and arachidonic acid. Over-consumption of these foods, and under-consumption of omega-3 fatty acids, contribute significantly to systemic chronic inflammatory states.

Boswellia extracts have been thoroughly studied as natural remedies for inflammatory disorders. A patented extract from boswellia called 5-LOXIN® has potent ability to inhibit the enzyme 5-LOX, preventing the formation of protein-degrading enzymes, and protecting against inflammation-induced events that can promote tumor angiogenesis.

Novel Nonantibiotic Therapies for Pneumonia* — CHEST

Effective host defense against bacterial infection is dependent on the activation and recruitment of phagocytic cells. The initiation, maintenance, and resolution of this inflammatory response in the setting of bacterial pneumonia is dependent on the expression of cytokines. As the complexities of the host-pathogen interaction are further dissected and unraveled, immunologic manipulation of cytokine expression will likely become an important adjuvant therapy in the treatment of serious lung infections.

The Pathobiology of Diabetic Complications: A Unifying Mechanism: Introduction

The pathobiology of diabetic complications: a unifying mechanism.
Brownlee M.
Diabetes. 2005 Jun;54(6):1615-25.
PMID: 15919781

t's a great honor to join the exceptional club of Banting Award winners, many of whom were my role models and mentors. In addition, giving the Banting Lecture also has a very personal meaning to me, because without Frederick Banting, I would have died from type 1 diabetes when I was 8 years old. However, it was already apparent at the time I was diagnosed that for too many people like me, Banting's discovery of insulin only allowed them to live just long enough to develop blindness, renal failure, and coronary disease. For example, when I started college, the American Diabetes Association's Diabetes Textbook had this to say to my parents: "The person with type 1 diabetes can be reassured that it is highly likely that he will live at least into his 30s." Not surprisingly, my parents did not find this particularly reassuring.

Shedding Light on Vitamin D and Cancer

Vitamin D's days of obscurity seem pretty much over. Once just an afterthought to most people-relegated to the sides of milk cartons and the pages of medical texts-it's now on the cusp of becoming a full-fledged disease prevention star. Although vitamin D has long been known as an important factor in bone health, a quickly growing body of evidence now shows that it may also help lower the risk of cancer, heart disease, and even premature death.[1], [2] Not surprisingly, scientists and the public have started to take note, particularly of vitamin D's potential to protect against cancer
