Washington, Mar 30 : The bacterium responsible for gas gangrene, the notorious infectious disease of two world wars, can also cause necrotic enteritis in intensively raised chickens.
The frequently fatal disease has significant financial implications for the poultry industry.
Professor Richard Titball of the University of Exeter highlighted the finding while addressing the Society of General Microbiology Meeting at the International Centre, Harrogate.
Washington, Mar 30 (ANI): A professor from University College, London has said that drug-resistant forms of HIV can be spread between individuals who have not received anti-retroviral treatment.
Professor Deenan Pillay from University College, London and the Health Protection Agency highlighted the finding while speaking at the Society for General Microbiology meeting at Harrogate.
Anti-retroviral therapy is a major advance in the treatment of HIV and there are currently over 25 drugs available.
London, Mar 30 : Vanderbilt University Medical Center researchers have found that a drug can prevent potentially lethal arrhythmias caused due to exercise or stress, called CPVT.
Patients with CPVT experience abnormally rapid heart rates (tachycardia), usually during exercise or stress, and are at risk for fainting and cardiac arrest.
"It's potentially a breakthrough in the treatment of this rare syndrome," Nature quoted Bjorn Knollmann, M.D., Ph.D., associate professor of Medicine and Pharmacology, as saying.
London, March 30 : New radar images from NASA's Cassini probe have suggested that slushy water from a hidden ocean may be pooling onto the icy surface of Saturn's moon Titan, thus bolstering the case for the existence of volcanoes on its surface.
Titan's exterior, where the temperature is around -180 degree Celsius, is thought to be mostly water-ice, but it may be a different story deep down.
Variations in the moon's rate of rotation suggest an ocean could lurk below.
Washington, March 30 : In a new study, researchers from University College Dublin have achieved a reduction in the amount of methane released by cattle, by including 2 percent fish oil in the diet of the animals.
The benefits to animals of omega 3 fatty acids in fish oils have been well documented - helping the heart and circulatory system, improving meat quality and reducing methane emissions.
