New SARS coronavirus can spread like the common cold. |
 |
 |
|
CTV News: Still, Thiel cautioned that just because the virus can easily infect human lung cells doesn't mean it has all the tools it would need to take off and spread widely among people. "We have shown that the airway cells can easily be infected. But this does not mean that the virus can easily be transmitted," he said. "I think this distinction is important."

MMWR: Synthetic cannabinoid use and acute kidney injury. |
|
|
|
CDC: Six of eight patients with a renal biopsy demonstrated acute tubular injury, and three of eight patients demonstrated features of acute interstitial nephritis. Kidney function recovery was apparent within 3 days of creatinine peak in most patients. However, five of the 16 patients required hemodialysis, and four patients received corticosteroids; none died. Other infectious, autoimmune, pharmacologic, or other toxic causes of AKI were not found.

JASN: (Maduell) The full text of the article is available at ths link. Conclusion: Compared with patients who continued on hemodialysis, those assigned to OL-HDF had a 30% lower risk of all-cause mortality (hazard ratio [HR], 0.70; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 0.53–0.92; P=0.01), a 33% lower risk of cardiovascular mortality (HR, 0.67; 95% CI, 0.44–1.02; P=0.06), and a 55% lower risk of infection-related mortality (HR, 0.45; 95% CI, 0.21–0.96; P=0.03).

The agency said 16 cases of acute kidney injury were reported in six states between March and December 2012. All of the 16 who received treatment between the ages of 15 and 33, CDC said, and all but one was male.

Dogs cured of type 1 diabetes by gene therapy. |
|
|
|
The Scientist: For the study, Spanish researchers induced diabetes in beagles between 6 months and 1 year old. They then injected the dogs’ skeletal muscles with viruses carrying genes for insulin and glucokinase, an enzyme involved in processing glucose. Following the treatment, the researcher confirmed that the genes had been incorporated into the DNA of the dogs, which were able to regulate their own blood sugar levels without medical help. And when they exercised, they no longer had episodes of hypoglycemia.
