| • | An RCT of metformin versus orlistat for the management of obese anovulatory women | ||
|
Treatment of obesity-related anovulation poses a significant clinical challenge. Occasionally, the use of antiobesity medications such as orlistat or insulin sensitizing agents such as metformin is sometimes indicated in these patients. This study aimed to compare the effects of metformin and orlistat for improving ovulation in obese anovulatory women. This was an open-label RCT. A total of 40 women were randomized to receive either metformin (n = 20) or orlistat (n = 20). BMI as well as the androgen profile and the ovulatory status were assessed at baseline and at four weekly intervals for 3 months. Different anthropometric and endocrine parameters were also assessed as possible predictors of ovulation. There was no significant difference between the two study arms regarding the ovulation rate for metformin and orlistat [40% (n = 8/20) and 25% (n = 5/20), respectively, P = 0.31]. Both arms showed a significant drop in the BMI, testosterone and androstendione concentrations (P < 0.05), but there was no difference between the two arms. Patients who ovulated had significantly lower concentrations of baseline LH, androstendione, dehydroepiandrosterone and free androgen index (P < 0.05). Among these factors, a low baseline LH was found to be the only independent predictor of ovulation (area under curve, 0.85). Both metformin and orlistat show a similar effect on weight loss, ovulation rates and androgen concentrations. However, the effects on ovulation rates need to be confirmed in larger studies. The presence of a low baseline serum LH was found to be the most important predictor of ovulation. |

| • | Just A Little Squeeze Lets Proteins Assess DNA | ||
| To find its target, all a protein needs to do is give quick squeezes as it moves along the DNA strand, suggests new research. Scientists had thought DNA-binding proteins primarily used full-body hugs for accurate readings of the information coded in the DNA's sequence. Doing the quick squeezes that scientists call indirect readout probably works faster, the researchers said. The finding has implications for the development of designer drugs. | |||

| • | Field Evaluation of SD Bioline Rapid Malaria Diagnostic Test among Asymptomatic Malaria Infected Children in Port Harcourt, Nigeria | ||
| A rapid immunochromatographic test (SD Bioline malaria P.f/P.v) for the diagnosis of malaria was evaluated against thick blood smears in Port Harcourt, Nigeria, for the purpose of evaluating its efficacy for field work. Two hundred and forty children aged 1-8 years were surveyed in a cross sectional prospective study. For P. falciparum, the SD Bioline was 47% sensitive and 100% specific, with a positive predictive value (PPV) of 100% and a negative predictive value (NPV) of 83.2%. Efficiency of the test was 85.4%. The overall malaria prevalence in this study was 27.5%. P. falciparum accounted for 25.0%, while other species accounted for 2.75%. The cost of the SD Bioline test cassette (US $ 1.98 (230 Naira) per test at the time of study) was quite affordable. We concluded that the sensitivity of SD Bioline is low but with a threshold of 1000 parasites/microlitre among asymptomatic malaria infected children and affordable cost, this RDT (SD Bioline) could serve as a useful epidemiological tool in P. falciparum malaria endemic areas in the developing countries. | |||

| • | Validating census methods to measure changes in house mouse populations | ||
| BACKGROUND: Tracking and census baiting are two techniques that are commonly advocated for monitoring the size of mouse populations. However, currently these techniques are only able to provide an index of population size, rather than an assessment of absolute numbers. In this study the authors tested the reliability of both tracking (footprints left on tiles of fixed size) and census baiting as indices of population size, and sought to calibrate levels of activity and bait consumption under both semi-natural and field conditions (inside farm buildings).RESULTS: Under semi-natural conditions, census baiting produced more satisfactory population estimates than those derived from tracking activity. An initial field trial established that the optimum bait point density for this technique was 1 point per 2 m. Subsequent field trials demonstrated that the bait census technique offers a way to estimate the approximate size of stable populations of mice (population size = (mean daily bait consumption - 36.3)/2.46).CONCLUSION: The results to date are sufficiently encouraging to support the use of this cost-effective approach to monitoring mouse numbers in the type of habitats investigated in this study. © Crown copyright 2008.

| • | 7.344 Antibiotics, Toxins, and Protein Engineering, Spring 2007 (MIT) | ||
| Seminar covering topics of current interest in biology. Includes reading and analysis of research papers and student presentations. Contact Biology Education Office for topics. From the course home page: Course Description The lethal poison Ricin (best known as a weapon of bioterrorism), Diphtheria toxin (the causative agent of a highly contagious bacterial disease), and the widely used antibiotic tetracycline have one thing in common: They specifically target the cell's translational apparatus and disrupt protein synthesis. In this course, we will explore the mechanisms of action of toxins and antibiotics, their roles in everyday medicine, and the emergence and spread of drug resistance. We will also discuss the identification of new drug targets and how we can manipulate the protein synthesis machinery to provide powerful tools for protein engineering and potential new treatments for patients with devastating diseases, such as cystic fibrosis and muscular dystrophy. This course is one of many Advanced Undergraduate Seminars offered by the Biology Department at MIT. These seminars are tailored for students with an interest in using primary research literature to discuss and learn about current biological research in a highly interactive setting. Many instructors of the Advanced Undergraduate Seminars are postdoctoral scientists with a strong interest in teaching. | |||

| With disease outbreaks linked to unpasteurized milk rising in the United States, a review published in the January 1, 2009 issue of Clinical Infectious Diseases examines the dangers of drinking raw milk. Milk and dairy products are cornerstones of a healthy diet. However, if those products are consumed unpasteurized, they can present a serious health hazard because of possible contamination with pathogenic bacteria. An average of 5. | |||

| Human parechovirus is a harmless virus which is encountered by most infants and displays few symptoms. Suspected of triggering type 1 diabetes in susceptible people, research methods need to take this "silent" virus into consideration. This comes from findings in a study from the Norwegian Institute of Public Health. This study was part of a long-term project at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health to investigate if environmental risk factors affect type 1 diabetes. | |||

| • | Immunology and evolution of infectious disease | ||
| The book ‘Immunology and evolution of infectious disease’ was written by Steven A. Frank and is divided into 5 parts. Part 1 covers the background of vertebrate immunity and the benefits of antigenic variation to parasites. Part 2 covers immune recognition and antigenic variants. Part 3 covers the dynamics of a single infection. Part 4 examines variability in hosts and parasites across entire populations and molecular memory of antigens and genetic structure of parasite populations. Part 5 considers different methods to study the evolutionary processes which shape antigenic variation. The book is available to download and is made available on the Web by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) from their ‘Bookshelf’ where a collection of biomedical books have been adapted for the Web. | |||
