Watch Out For Dangerous Mushrooms Nationwide Children S Hospital

Starting in mid to late spring and throughout the summer, mushrooms start to pop up on lawns, gardens and parks nearly everywhere, especially when the weather is rainier and more humid. In a child’s eyes, mushrooms can be pretty, are new and interesting and might even look like the characters on their cartoons. But beware. In Ohio, we have a broad variety of mushrooms, some of which are edible, but some are of the deadliest types including “the death angel” or Amanita phalloides....

Antibiotic Resistance

Your family probably faces its share of colds, fevers, and sore throats every winter season. When you take your child to the doctor for any of these, do you automatically expect a prescription for an antibiotic? Many parents do, but your pediatrician could be doing you and your child a favor by not prescribing one. Each year in the United States more than 160 million prescriptions are written for antibiotics and as many as 50 percent of these prescriptions could be inappropriate, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention....

Human Microrna Inhibits Expression Of Pathogenic Gene Underlying Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy

(COLUMBUS, Ohio) – Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is caused by aberrant expression of the DUX4 gene in skeletal muscles. Researchers at Nationwide Children’s Hospital have recently demonstrated that an endogenous human microRNA, miR-675, inhibits DUX4 expression and protects muscles from DUX4-mediated cell death in a mouse model when administered via gene therapy. They also showed that the small molecule-based treatments that upregulate miR-675 inhibited DUX4 mRNA and DUX4-associated biomarkers in myotubes derived from patients with FSHD....
