Practice-based research -- "Blue highways" on the NIH Roadmap

Article Abstract:

An initiative by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), known as the NIH Roadmap, uses the analogy of the country's highway system to focus on the need to translate basic research into human studies and then into tests and treatments that can improve clinical practice for the benefit of patients. Practice-based research occurs in the doctor's office, and it may be the essential link between research and clinical effectiveness, a sort of blue highway between the academic interstate of clinical research and the streets.

Researchers coax human stem cells to become motor neurons

Article Abstract:

Researchers from the University of Wisconsin in Madison have discovered human stem cells by exposing human embryonic stem cells to various biologic factors in a precisely timed manner. This research provides valuable insights into the unique challenges of working with human stem cells, and it might also speed the development of treatments for motor neutron disorders such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

An outbreak of multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii associated with pulsatile lavage wound treatment

Article Abstract:

Study was conducted to explore an outbreak of multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii and to test the hypothesis that pulsatile lavage wound treatment was the mode of transmission for the organism. Dissemination of multidrug-resistant A baumannii caused into transmission during the pulsatile lavage procedure, resulting in environmental contamination.
