NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Lab experiments indicate that almonds have the potential to boost immune health and reduce inflammation, according to research reported Tuesday at the annual meeting of the American Society for Microbiology in Philadelphia. Almonds, study presenter Dr. Giuseppina Mandalari told Reuters Health, may have a "helpful impact on the treatment of infective and chronic diseases." She said almond skins can modulate an immunological response "and positively act as novel antiviral agents." Mandalari, from the Institute of Food Research, Norwich, UK, and colleagues evaluated the effects of natural and blanched almond skins on the release of immunological compounds in cells either infected or not infected with the genital herpes virus HSV-2. The addition of natural almond skins to the cells led to a "significant decrease in HSV-2 replication, whereas other extracts did not significantly influence the replication of the virus," ...

Preliminary test results from Paris-based BioAlliance Pharma group show their antiviral acyclovir Lauriad reduced the healing time for patients with facial herpes lesions, as well as preventing the onset of lesions in some patients who presented prodromal symptoms (e.g. initial tingling). The trial used a single-dose of the drug with a single-dose placebo as the control and included 722 patients with recurrent orofacial (cold sore type) herpes. The new drug uses the same tablet technology as Loramyc, the groups oral thrush (oropharyngeal candidiasis) treatment drug, which is already licensed in the United States and much of Europe.

Up until recently, scientific research estimated the increase of transmission protection given by the use of condoms of 50. A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Washington, the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other centers reduced that number to 30 for HSV-2 genital herpes. In other words, you only have 30 less chance of catching herpes from someone who has genital herpes type 2 if you use condoms each and every time. This number seems quite small but when combined with other transmission risk management strategies it can increase to 80 to 90 limiting transmission risks to 10. For example, it seems that the longer a relationship, the less likely a person is to catch herpes from his/her partner so faithfulness and fidelity seems to pay off.

In a medical breakthrough, a device first used to detect the herpes simplex virus is in prototype and could soon be used to detect the presence of any bacterium or virus in the human body. If this device is as good as it promises to be, then the latest worrying and wondering over epidemics like swine fever will become a thing of the past. The device works on the principle of light refraction. If any type of molecule gets in the way of a minute beam of light, the light will refract, or scatter. Just like fingerprints are unique to all people, so the pattern of light refraction or scattering is different for every molecule. So once you suspect that a viral or bacterial infection exists, you aim a beam of light at it and watch the refraction. Match the pattern with a database of viral patterns and you have an instant diagnosis. Its a long way from prototype to production line, but scientists are hopeful that before long it will be possible to analyse a sample of blood or saliva ...
