Omega 3 Fatty Acids Appear To Impact AMD Progression
Omega-3 fatty acids found in fatty fish such as tuna and salmon may protect against progression of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), but the benefits appear to depend on the stage of disease and whether certain supplements are taken, report researchers at the Laboratory for Nutrition and Vision Research (LNVR), Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging (HNRCA) at Tufts University.

Early Combination Of Enbrel(R) (etanercept) And Methotrexate Halts Radiographic Progression In 90% Of Patients During Second Year Of The COMET Study
New data presented this week during the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) Annual Meeting in Copenhagen demonstrated that sustained combination therapy (etanercept and methotrexate) was consistently superior to continuous methotrexate monotherapy in providing clinical remission and radiographic non-progression over two years in patients with early active rheumatoid arthritis.1 These new data add to the body of evidence supporting the benefits of early intervention with a biologic treatment in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

Experts On Modeling Infectious Disease Spread

Scientists involved in the National Institutes of Health"s Models of Infectious Disease Agent Study (MIDAS) are developing computational tools to study the emergence, spread and containment of contagious outbreaks, including H1N1. The MIDAS researchers are currently applying their earlier work on modeling pandemic flu to understand the origin, infectiousness and likely spread of the 2009 H1N1 virus. They also are simulating the spread of MRSA, drug resistance and seasonal infectious diseases. Their efforts will help advance the field of disease modeling by improving techniques and incorporating knowledge about human behavior. While models can"t forecast exactly what will happen, they do let researchers, health officials and policymakers evaluate different possible intervention strategies, aiding the development and implementation of control measures both before and during an outbreak.
