Movie Review

The Magnificent Seven [DVD]

It is oddly appropriate that John Sturges' The Magnificent Seven is an Americanized remake of Akira Kurosawa's masterful Japanese epic Seven Samurai (1954). Seven Samurai had not only been largely inspired by American Westerns, but its popularity in the U.S. helped to revitalize the Western genre in the late 1950s and throughout the 1960s. While Sturges' film does not com ... ...

Biomarkers for inflammatory bowel disease uncovered

University of Cincinnati researchers have identified a number of biomarkers for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which could help with earlier diagnosis and intervention in those who have not yet shown symptoms.

This finding was made possible by using the Department of Defense Serum Repository (DoDSR).

The DoDSR is a biological repository operated by the U.S. Department of Defense and contains over 50 million human serum specimens, collected primarily from applicants to and members of the U.S. uniformed services.

This discovery, the first of its kind and led by UC's Bruce Yacyshyn, MD, is being presented via podium presentation by staff from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center at Digestive Disease Week 2013, being held May 18-21 in Orlando, Fla.

"With collaborators from Walter Reed, we were able to identify all of the active duty service men and women who developed IBD and then used the repository to go back and look at various biomarkers to see what each person had in common," said Yacyshyn, a professor of medicine at the UC College of Medicine and UC Health gastroenterologist.

IBD is a group of inflammatory conditions of the colon and small intestine. The main types of IBD are Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis; inflammatory bowel diseases are considered autoimmune diseases in which the body's own immune system attacks elements of the digestive system. ...
