Epstein-Barr virus appears to be trigger of lupus disease, say scientists
Connection of near-ubiquitous EBV to autoimmune disease affecting about 1 in 1,000 people may spur hunt for vaccine
A common childhood virus appears to be the trigger for the autoimmune disease lupus, according to groundbreaking research.
The study suggests that Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), which for most people is harmless, can cause immune cells to “go rogue” and mistakenly attack the body’s own tissues. The team behind the work said that uncovering the cause of lupus could revolutionise treatments. Continue reading...

This research goes so deep the headline doesn't do it justice. Very big moment in medicine: shines a bright light on how ebv affects b-cells. Plenty of that light is spilling over to multiple sclerosis too. Perhaps can even illuminate rheumatoid arthritis and #mecfs.

It’s likely that this cat has a somatic mutation, which is not uncommon on red-based animals (cats, dogs, and horses all have somatic mutations more often with red-based coats) His non-somatic cells are XY, but the cells that have mutated picked up an extra X chromosome, expressing in small patches.

With initial consults now costing hundreds of dollars, we must embrace a national plan to boost targeted training, cover gaps and curb excessive charges
A referral to a specialist doctor can be scary; you might be worried about getting a new diagnosis or hearing that your condition has gotten worse. But many Australians have an additional worry: whether they can afford the fee.
Fees have surged, and they’re not slowing down. They’ve risen by 78% since 2010 on top of inflation. An initial consultation now often costs hundreds of dollars. Continue reading...

Out-of-pocket costs are increasing faster than inflation and population growth – but increasing Medicare rebates might not be a magic bullet

What are my rights when I need to see a specialist doctor – and what if I can’t afford the fee?
In June, Veronica* received an email from the Perth practice where her son sees a paediatrician to manage his ADHD. It said an adjustment to their service fees meant the cost of a one-hour appointment would rise to $1,000.
She had to reread it. A 36% rise in fees? Continue reading...
