New Research: Cow Pee Can Spread Antibiotic Resistance Through the Soil

By Lisa Raffensperger | November 12, 2012 12:50 pm
A row of cows' behinds
Antibiotic resistance is a well-known menace: Witness the dangers of hospital-acquired MRSA infections, or the totally drug-resistant tuberculosis found in India earlier this year. FDA statistics show that over 80 percent of antibiotics used in the US are given to livestock, and heavy animal use is thought to be one of the drivers of resistance among human pathogens. So it behooves veterinarians and public health officials alike to stamp out antibiotic resistance in animals.
In the hunt for how this resistance develops, though, scientists have been mostly looking at bacteria inside the digestive system. But it turns out they might have, er, the wrong end of things—a new study finds that drugs excreted in pee and feces may be even more worrisome than those circulating in the bloodstream.

As the antibiotic ceftiofur has become more widely used in cows to treat respiratory disease and infections, E. coli and Salmonella in their guts have become increasingly resistant to it. Similar drugs to ceftiofur are used in people to treat pneumonia and meningitis; the threat to human health is serious enough that earlier this year the FDA announced new restrictions on ceftiofur and its sister drugs. But the mystery has been how resistance develops in cattle. The drug is injected, not taken orally, and it doesn’t appear to act on cows’ guts.
To find out how resistance was spreading, Murugan Subbiah and colleagues at Washington State University first began with the fact that broken-down antibiotics have been found in cow feces and urine, and that these molecules are known to be lethal to bacteria. What remained to be seen, though, was whether urine could therefore shape the bacteria population in soil, encouraging resistant bacteria to spread.
In the study, published last week in PLoS One, the team had the icky task of collecting urine and feces from cows dosed with ceftiofur. When they mixed up cocktails of excrement and soil, they found that urine from treated cows killed off normal E. coli and encouraged the spread of the resistant ones. Thus, simply contaminating a patch of soil with pee may be enough to create resistant bacteria in the wild. And when dairy calves were given bedding sprayed with resistant E. coli, within a matter of days they showed resistant E. coli in their guts as well, showing how easily bacteria made resistant outside the cow’s body can leap into the cow’s guts.
Bacteria are well-known for swapping antibiotic-resistance genes amongst themselves, and this particular kind of resistance has been found to move easily between different species of bacteria. Thus resistant E. coli in the soil could spread their powers to numerous other kinds of pathogens also present there, including others that infect humans through meat or produce.
The scientists propose that if urine is to blame for passing on resistance, solutions may come easier—for instance, farmers may be convinced to change their waste management practices. Just don’t expect a cow potty anytime soon.

Indian-origin researcher develops eye lens that may spell the end of reading glasses

Monday, 19 October 2015 - 6:33pm IST | Place: London | Agency: PTI

    Indian-origin researcher develops an adjustable artificial lens, made from the same material found in smartphone and TV screens, which could improve vision in older people.
    • New eye lens may spell end of reading glassesGetty Images
    An Indian-origin researcher in the UK is developing an adjustable artificial lens, made from the same material found in smartphone and TV screens, which could improve vision in older people withpresbyopia and cataracts.
    As people age, their lenses lose flexibility and elasticity. This leads to a condition known as presbyopia, common in people over 45 years old, and can require optical aids, such as reading glasses. Devesh Mistry, a postgraduate research student in the School of Physics and Astronomy, at the University of Leeds is working with liquid crystal to create a truly adjustable artificial lens.
    "As we get older, the lens in our eye stiffens, when the muscles in the eye contract they can no longer shape the lens to bring close objects into focus," he said. "Using liquid crystals, which we probably know better as the material used in the screens of TVs and smartphones, lenses would adjust and focus automatically, depending on the eye muscles' movement," he added.
    Using these liquid crystal-based materials, Mistry's research is developing synthetic replacements for the diseased lens in the eye - a new generation of lenses and intra-ocular lens implants to rejuvenate sight. Mistry is currently researching and developing the lens in the lab and aims to have a prototype ready by the end of his doctorate in 2018.
    Within a decade, the research could see the new lens being implanted into eyes in a quick and straightforward surgical procedure under local anaesthetic. Eye surgeons would make an incision in the cornea and use ultrasound to break down the old lens. The liquid crystal lens would then be inserted, restoring clear vision.
    The lens could also have application in tackling cataracts - the clouding of natural lenses - which affect many people in later life and which can seriously affect vision. A common treatment is to remove and replace the natural lens.
    "Liquid crystals are a very under-rated phase of matter," Mistry told The Times. "Everybody's happy with solids, liquids and gases and the phases of matter, but liquid crystals lie between crystalline solids and liquids. They have an ordered structure like a crystal, but they can also flow like a liquid and respond to stimuli," he said.
    Mistry is working in collaboration with the Eurolens Research at the University of Manchester and with UltraVision CLPL, a specialist contact lenses manufacturer headed by two University of Leeds alumni. His research builds upon previous work by the same collaborators, who developed a prototype contact lens with an electrically-controllable focus using liquid crystals.
    The first commercially-available liquid crystal lenses could be on sale between six and 10 years' time.

    Having sex thrice a week can clear kidney stones! (Getty Image)
    RELATED
    Suffering from kidney stones? Well, stop gulping down beer after beer or other drinks to pass it out and prepare yourself for better action between the sheets tonight. According to a study having sex at least three to four times a week can help ease the spontaneous passage of kidney stones.
     
    The study included 3 groups, first group was asked to have sex at least three to four times per week. The second group was administered tamsulosin (a drug commonly used to improve urination in men with enlarged prostate) and a third group received the standard medical treatment for kidney stones.

    Two weeks later, the researchers found that 26 of the 31 participants from the sex group were able to pass their kidney stones. Meanwhile, only 10 of the 21 participants from the tamsulosin group and 8 of the 23 participants from the standard medical treatment group successfully passed their stones.

    The average stone expelled by participants was measured at 4.7 millimeters (mm), reported a medical website. "Our results have indicated that patients who have small kidney stones (less than 6 mm) and a sexual partner may be advised to have sex to increase the probability of spontaneous passage of the stones," said a researcher.

    Accidental Discovery


    Is The Malaria Parasite The Cancer Cure We’ve Been Looking For? Accidental Discovery Displays Remarkable Results

    malaria mosquito
    The parasite that causes malaria may have a fortuitous side-effect. NIAID CC BY 2.0
    As far as accidents go, stumbling upon a potential cure for cancer is one we can all probably forgive. According to a recent study, a group of Danish scientists might have done just that by discovering that a potential malaria vaccine had the unexpected side effect of killing tumors.
    Malaria is bloodborne disease caused by the Plasmodium parasite. It is spread through humans by mosquito bites and, according to UNICEF, kills up to a million people each year. Malaria is especially dangerous for pregnant women as the parasite may attack the placenta, which then puts the child’s life at risk. In their ongoing efforts to prevent these specific infections, scientists from the University of Denmark made a remarkable observation: Due to the similar characteristics between tumors and placentas, the same technique malaria uses to attack and destroy placentas could also be used to destroy cancer tumors.
    “The placenta is an organ, which within a few months grows from only few cells into an organ weighing approximately 2 pounds, and it provides the embryo with oxygen and nourishment in a relatively foreign environment,” study author Ali Salanti said in a statement. “In a manner of speaking, tumors do much the same — they grow aggressively in a relatively foreign environment."
    The researchers attempted to improve on this natural design by attaching a cancer-killing toxin to the malaria protein. They found that the combination was lethal; in lab tests, it was up to 90 percent effective in destroying various cancer samples. The lethal combination was also tested successfully in mice that were implanted with different types of human cancers. And while it may seem jarring to trade off cancer for malaria, Thomas Mandel Clausen, a PhD student involved with the research, explained that the the malaria protein only attaches to the tumor “without any significant attachment to other tissue.”
    It will be at least four years before the treatment will be available for human testing, and researchers are hopeful it’ll be a significant step forward in cancer treatment research. However, since the protein they use attaches to carbohydrates found only in the placenta and cancer tumors, this life-saving characteristic will make the treatment too dangerous for cancer treatment in pregnant women. “Expressed in popular terms, the toxin will believe that the placenta is a tumor and kill it, in exactly the same way it will believe that a tumor is a placenta,” Salanti said.

    Cancer diagnosis, treatment to get easier with Tata Memorial's app Times of India‎

    Mumbai: Doctors of Tata Memorial Hospital in Parel have developed a mobile phone application (app) to help cancer diagnosis and treatment.

    MUMBAI: Doctors of Tata Memorial Hospital in Parel have developed a mobile phone application (app) to help cancer diagnosis and treatment.
    The app, titled TNM app, will help doctors, especially those in interior areas and poor nations, diagnose the severity of cancer immediately.
    Every resident doctor who joins Tata Memorial Hospital is given a TNM Handbook to correctly identify the stage of cancer in the patient they are treating,'' said Tata Memorial Hospital director Dr Rajendra Badwe. TNM stands for tumour, node and metastasis and is the main method to classify malignant tumours. With 65 types of cancers, it is not possible for doctors to remember various permutations and combinations. "Having the handbook helps young doctors. Now, the need to carry the handbook has been eliminated as most people carry smartphones,'' said Dr Palak Popat, who was one of the developers.
    Dr Badwe said the app will help bring about standardization of cancer medicine practice across the country.
    The app is based on the cancer staging manual developed by the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC).
    "Once downloaded, the app can be accessed offline. It is an interactive app where the doctor can feed the required information and within 30 seconds can get the stage of cancer," said Dr Meenakshi Thakur, one of the three radiologists who designed the app.
    The app can be downloaded for free by doctors across the world. It was tested in 19 countries prior to the launch.
    "Family physicians can download this app and help families with newly diagnosed cancer, understand the situation," said Dr Popat.
    Incidentally, the app will soon get a feature that patients and their relatives would find extremely useful. "The next algorithm will have standard guidelines. It will educate doctors and empower patients. It should be added by February 2016," said Dr Badwe.
    Given the surging cancer rates across India, two reference books were released the ongoing ongoing International Association of Cancer Registries (IACR) conference in the city:
    * The Cancer Atlas supplement highlighting region-wise spread of cancer. For instance, Mizoram has the highest cancer incidence rate and rural Maharashtra (Barshi) the lowest.
    * A Hindi version of the World Cancer Atlas. "This is the first time that the Cancer Atlas has been published in Hindi and indicates the American Cancer Society's commitment towards cancer control in India," said Joannie Tieulent of ACS, which funded the translation project.

    Merck’s Keytruda for Lung Cancer

    FDA Expands Approval Of The

    Merck’s Keytruda To Lung Cancer

    The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Friday approved the drug Keytruda to treat the most common form of lung cancer.
    The FDA cleared this immunotherapy drug to treat patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumours express a protein called PD-L1, and whose disease has progressed after other treatments.
    “Our growing understanding of underlying molecular pathways and how our immune system interacts with cancer is leading to important advances in medicine,” said Richard Pazdur, director of the office of hematology and oncology products in the FDA’s Centre for Drug Evaluation and Research.
    “Today’s approval of Keytruda gives physicians the ability to target specific patients who may be most likely to benefit from this drug,” Pazdur noted in a statement released by FDA.
    Keytruda is marketed by Merck & Co., based in Whitehouse Station, New Jersey.
    Keytruda was approved under FDA’s accelerated approval programme that provides earlier patient access to promising new drugs while the company conducts confirmatory clinical trials.
    The safety of Keytruda was tested on approximately 500 patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
    Because so many of the patients in the study showed significant long-lasting responses, in October 2014 the FDA granted the drug “breakthrough therapy” status for use in lung cancer, allowing it to be fast-tracked for approval.
    “The approval of this drug and a test to identify patients most likely to benefit has the potential to transform the way that lung cancer is treated,” said Edward Garon, the study’s principal investigator and a researcher at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).
    “The quality and duration of disease response that was seen in the trial had previously been extremely rare in lung cancer. For people battling this deadly disease, this approach provides real hope of long-lasting responses while avoiding the toxicities of typical chemotherapy,” Garon noted.
    The response rate and duration of response for Keytruda were much greater than for drugs traditionally used to treat lung cancer.
    In the three-year clinical trial, the overall response rate (the percentage of people in whom tumours were substantially reduced in size) was 19 percent.
    In people who responded to treatment, the average duration of response exceeded one year, a remarkable advance in this difficult disease.
    The most common side effects of Keytruda included fatigue, decreased appetite, shortness of breath or impaired breathing (dyspnea) and cough.
    Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the US, with an estimated 221,200 new diagnoses and 158,040 deaths in 2015, according to the National Cancer Institute.
