Scientists uncover Achilles heel of chronic inflammatory pain


Researchers have made a discovery that could lead to a brand new class of drugs to treat chronic pain caused by inflammatory conditions such as arthritis and back pain without numbing the whole body.


The team, funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) and working at UCL (University College London), have shown for the first time that genes involved in chronic pain are regulated by molecules inside cells called small RNAs. This mechanism is so different from what has already been discovered about the biology underpinning pain that it could be the Achilles heel of chronic inflammatory pain, which is notoriously difficult to treat. The research appears in The Journal of Neuroscience.

U.S. government commits avian holocaust with mass poisoning of millions of birds

(NaturalNews) The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is engaged in what can only be called anavian holocaustthrough itsBye Bye Blackbirdprogram that has poisoned tens of millions of birds over the last decade.

Wyoming Bill Would Make It Illegal to Enforce Obamacare

(NaturalNews) Legislation recently introduced in Wyoming would make it a federal crime for government officials and those who work with the government to enforce any provisions in the "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act," also widely known as "Obamacare". If passed, those who attempt to enforce the health care overhaul's provisions would be subject to fines and imprisonment.

Talk about irony. Statins, the cholesterol-lowering drugs celebrated for their ability to prevent stroke and heart attack, may do more harm than good in some patients.

Patients who have already experienced an intracerebral (bleeding in the brain) are more likely to experience another if they take statins, according to a new study to be published in the May issue of "Archives of Neurology." In these patients, the risks of taking a statin may outweight the benefits, say the scientists who did the research.

Because people who have experienced bleeding in the brain often have high cholesterol and other cardiovascular risk factors that might warrant statin therapy, "it is important to weigh the risks and benefits of statin therapy in this population," wrote the study's authors, including Dr. M. Brandon Westover, of Massachusetts General Hospital, according to a written statement.
