Duke study finds longer use of antiviral medication improves lung transplant outcomes
A Duke Medicine study finds that extending the standard post-transplant antiviral medication from three months to 12 can slash CMV virus infection rates for lung transplant patients.
While 65 percent of lung transplant patients who receive the standard course of medication contract CMV, only 10 percent of patients do who receive the longer course, and their pneumonia rate is only a seventh of those who receive the shorter course of medication.

Vitamin D Study in Finland: Implications for the Rest of the World
A new study on vitamin D levels and Parkinson's disease risk points to the need for further research on whether vitamin D supplements can protect against the movement disorder, according to an editorial in the July 2010 issue of Archives of Neurology. Dr. Marian Evatt, author of the editorial, discusses the details of the studied, carried out in Finland, and its implications on Parkinson's and general Vitamin D research.
Background
The study, also reported in Archives of Neurology, is the firs

Study: Soot Is Second Leading Cause of Global Warming
Soot from the burning of fossil fuels and solid biofuels contributes far more to global warming than has been thought, according to a new Stanford study. But, unlike carbon dioxide, soot lingers only a few weeks in the atmosphere, so cutting emissions could have a significant and rapid impact on the climate. Controlling it may be the only option for saving the Arctic sea ice from melting. If soot emissions were eliminated, more than 1.5 million premature deaths from soot inhalation could be pre
