- Cytomegalic Inclusion Body Disease (CIBD) Information Page
Cytomegalic inclusion body disease (CIBD) is caused by infection from the cytomegalic virus (CMV), a type of herpes virus that can lie dormant after initial infection and then reactivate periodically throughout life. The virus causes the cells of some organs to enlarge and swell with inclusion bodies - microscopic foreign particles. The virus can be transmitted through transplantation of infected organs or through the exchange of body fluids, such as blood, urine, saliva, breast milk, semen,...

- Inclusion Body Myositis Information Page
Inclusion body myositis (IBM) is an inflammatory muscle disease characterized by progressive muscle weakness and wasting. The disorder is similar to another inflammatory myopathy called polymyositis.

- WISE EARS! At Work!
Noise-induced hearing loss is the most common workplace disorder and the second most self-reported occupational illness or injury. Thirty million workers are at risk for noise-induced hearing loss and 10 million Americans already have it. Forty-four percent of carpenters and 48% of plumbers report having a hearing loss.

The kidneys remove wastes and extra water from the blood to form urine. Urine flows from the kidneys to the bladder through the ureters. Your kidneys are bean-shaped organs, each about the size of your fist. They are located near the middle of your back, just below the rib cage. The kidneys are sophisticated...

- Teenage Brain: A work in progress
New imaging studies are revealing—for the first time—patterns of brain development that extend into the teenage years. Although scientists don't know yet what accounts for the observed changes, they may parallel a pruning process that occurs early in life that appears to follow the principle of "use-it-or-lose-it:" neural connections, or synapses, that get exercised are retained, while those that don't are lost. At least, this is what studies of animals' developing visual systems suggest....
