Microbiome Analysis Possible Aid in Detecting Colon Cancer
This study builds on previous research that showed that patients with an overgrowth of some bacterial species such as Fusobacterium and Bacteroides fragilis is associated with increased risk of colorectal cancer.
Likely important protective bacteria that are missing in colons with colorectal cancer are Clostridium, Bacteroides, and Lachnospiraceae.

New Antibiotic Teixobactin Holds Promise Against Resistant Organisms
Researchers at Northwestern University have found and grown a new type of antibiotic that kills many of the deadly antibiotic organisms that are developing today, such as MRSA, tuberculosis, and Clostridium difficile.
The antibiotic, dubbed teixobactin, is still in clinical trials with animals.

Cell Type Sensitivity to Radiation Damage
Radiation therapy is commonly given to oncology patients as an adjunct to surgery and chemotherapy. While the aim of all radiation oncologists is to reduce damage to non-cancerous cells, radiation damage to tissues surround the tumor is unavoidable.
Depending on cell type, each cell has a different sensitivity. In descending order of radiation sensitivity these cells are:
tumor cells
endothelium
fibroblasts
muscle
nerve cells

Doxorubicin and Hyperbaric Oxygen
Doxorubicin and hyperbaric oxygen are considered to be absolutely incompatible and should never be coadministered. One study that used hyperbaric oxygen as a possible antidote for doxorubicin (Adriamycin) extravasation in rats showed a 87% mortality.
Hyperbaric oxygen treatments have been shown to be helpful in healing tissue necrosis from extravasation but should only be administered at least 2-3 days before beginning treatments.

Carbon Monoxide and Cyanide Exposure in Smoke Inhalation
Smoke inhalation is an often lethal injury in house fires and is encountered by trauma surgeons who treat burn patients.
The mortality seen in smoke inhalation patients is sometimes greater than would be expected from the carboxyhemoglobin levels.
This is attributable, in part, to the synergistic effects of the methemoglobin resulting from the cyanide exposure – in addition to the carbon monoxide exposure.
Methemoglobin is not generally cardiovascularly significant at levels of 20 to 40%. However, couple with carboxyhemoglobin, the functional anemia can be life-threatening.
Methemoglobinemia can be treated using hype...
