Tue, 29 Aug 2023 12:58:28 EDT //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/08/230829125828.htm Resistant E. coli rises despite drop in ciprofloxacin use //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/08/230828223807.htm After a nearly threefold drop in prescriptions for the antibiotic ciprofloxacin between 2015 and 2021, the rates of ciprofloxacin-resistant E. coli bacteria circulating in the community did not decline. In fact, a study of Seattle-area women over age 50 who had not taken any antibiotics for at least a year discovered that the incidence of gut-colonizing ciprofloxacin-resistant E. coli actually increased. About 1 in 5 women in the study were affected. The results are consistent with theoretical models indicating that, once a drug-resistant form of E.coli emerges, it will continue to spread by taking up long-term residence in individuals' gut microbiomes. Antibiotic resistant E. coli in the gut is of concern because the bacteria can enter the urinary tract and cause difficult-to-treat infections, particularly in women. Evidence from studies such as this one may be changing paradigms on how to fight the rise in antibiotic resistance. Mon, 28 Aug 2023 22:38:07 EDT //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/08/230828223807.htm Drug to target form of previously untreatable life-threatening 'bad cholesterol' //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/08/230828105543.htm New research details the first oral drug for the treatment of a type of high cholesterol -- called Lp(a) -- that is a potentially more dangerous version of the so called 'bad' cholesterol, LDL, because it is stickier and may be more likely to cause blockages and blood clots in your arteries. It is estimated that up to 20% of people worldwide have high levels of Lp(a), which is associated with a person's risk of experiencing a heart attack, strokes or other serious cardiac event. Importantly Lp(a) can be present even in younger adults and otherwise healthy people with no other known cardiovascular risks -- and often remains undetected until a cardiac event has occurred.

Thu, 04 May 2023 12:10:35 EDT //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/05/230504121035.htm To boost cancer immunotherapy's fighting power, look to the gut //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/05/230503121257.htm Immunotherapy has redefined cancer treatment, but not all patients experience the same benefit when treated. New research in mice identifies how gut bacteria alter the body's response to a common form of cancer immunotherapy. The animals' gut microbiota lowered the expression of two immune molecules, one previously unknown to play a role in cancer. • Using antibodies to block the activity of either molecule, or the interplay between them, enhanced response to cancer immunotherapy. • The findings can inform the design of treatments that boost the efficacy of cancer immunotherapy among patients with suboptimal response.
