WASHINGTON, Nov. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- More than 100,000 fishing-related deaths occur each year, a new study finds. Nearly 300 fishers die each day—a much higher estimate than all previous assessments—according to research from the FISH Safety Foundation (FSF) commissioned by The Pew Charitable Trusts.

Key Points: 
  • Nearly 300 fishers die each daya much higher estimate than all previous assessmentsaccording to research from the FISH Safety Foundation (FSF) commissioned by The Pew Charitable Trusts .
  • The FSF identified several factors responsible for fisher mortality, including poverty; geopolitical conflict; overfishing; illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing; and climate change.
  • Industrial illegal operators cut corners and ignore safety rules while contributing to the overexploitation of highly profitable catch.
  • "While fishing can be inherently risky, the harsh reality is that many of these deaths were and are avoidable.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- For days, and even years, after someone suffers a stroke or traumatic brain injury, they have an increased risk of developing epilepsy. Now, researchers at Gladstone Institutes discovered that star-shaped cells called astrocytes in the thalamus play a key role in making mice with brain injuries susceptible to seizures.

Key Points: 
  • The team also analyzed human post-mortem brain tissue and showed that the same cells identified in mice might be altered in the thalamus of people affected by brain injury and stroke.
  • The findings, published in the journal Science Translational Medicine, suggest that targeting a protein in these cells could prevent the long-term damage that follows brain injury.
  • At the time of a stroke or traumatic brain injury, many cells at the site of the injury die almost immediately.
  • Previous studies from the team have shown, in rodent models, that activation of astrocytes in the thalamus is a common consequence of brain injury.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Viruses in the herpesvirus family are leading causes of birth defects, blindness, and failed organ transplants worldwide. Antiviral drugs can combat these viruses, but patients often develop resistance to the drugs—rendering them ineffective.

Key Points: 
  • Antiviral drugs can combat these viruses, but patients often develop resistance to the drugsrendering them ineffective.
  • "This study shows, for the first time, that feedback circuits can be a drug target to treat viruses.
  • "Antiviral drug resistance is a huge problem that affects millions of people around the world," says Chaturvedi, first author of the new study and research investigator at Gladstone.
  • The scientists realized that if they could develop a drug to disrupt this loop, they could potentially treat CMV infection while avoiding drug resistance.
