The researchers used whole-genome sequencing technology and computational science methods to genetically compare two important anthrax isolates: the well-known Ames strain and the strain isolated in the 2001 Florida anthrax attacks. These techniques will enable researchers to more precisely trace the origins of individual strains, determine whether these strains have been genetically modified, and evaluate differences in their ability to cause disease or resist antibiotics. NIAID funded the study in collaboration with the Office of Naval Research, the National Science Foundation, and other agencies.
The NHLBI stopped a large clinical trial of the risks and benefits of combined estrogen and progestin in healthy menopausal women early because of an increased risk of invasive breast cancer. The large trial was part of the Women's Health Initiative (WHI), and participants taking combined estrogen and progestin had more coronary heart disease, stroke, and pulmonary embolism than women taking a placebo. Although there were some benefits to combined estrogen and progestin, such as a reduced incidence of hip fractures and colorectal cancer, overall the harms outweighed the benefits.

The bacterium can cause deadly inhalation anthrax, but it differs little from a common soil-associated bacterium, and scientists hope that genetic differences between the two may reveal valuable clues about anthrax's vulnerability.
The NHLBI has released a new clinical practice guideline for the prevention, detection, and treatment of hypertension, a major risk factor for heart disease and a major risk factor for stroke and heart failure. The guideline defines a new blood pressure category called "prehypertension," which includes about 22% of American adults, about 45 million people. According to the new guideline, Americans have a higher lifetime risk of developing hypertension than previously thought. Drug therapy and lifestyle modifications are an important part of treatment.
NIMH researchers have discovered a gene called 5-HTT that influences whether people become depressed when faced with major stressors in life, such as relationship problems, financial difficulties, or illness. While this gene does not itself cause depression, it influences whether people are prone to depression when faced with major stressors in life. Another study led by NIAAA researchers found that this same gene influences alcohol consumption habits in college students. These studies are important contributions to understanding how people's responses to the environment are influenced by their genetic makeup.
A team led by researchers from NIDCR and NICHD has found that the pulp of temporary "baby" teeth, which children begin to lose around their sixth birthday, is rich in stem cells. These stem cells, called "decidual cells," live in the teeth for a time after they fall out of a child's mouth. This readily available source of stem cells can be easily collected for research. Scientists hope that they may be able to manipulate stem cells to repair damaged teeth, promote bone regeneration, and treat nerve injuries and diseases.
Researchers supported by NICHD, NIGMS, NHLBI, and NIDCR have discovered how an embryo attaches to the uterine wall, which may be one of the first steps required for a successful pregnancy. When an egg is fertilized, a special protein called L-selectin on the surface of the embryo binds to carbohydrates on the uterine wall. Scientists believe this interaction slows the embryo's movement, allowing it to stick to the uterine wall. The discovery may lead to insights into infertility and early pregnancy loss.

The rate of new cases of kidney failure has now stabilized after increasing 5-10% annually for 20 years, according to a NIDDK study. This is likely thanks to clinical strategies proven in the 1990s to significantly delay or prevent the onset of kidney failure: renal vascular angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE inhibitors) and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs); and careful control of diabetes and blood pressure. It may also be due to the initiation of private and government programs aimed at improving care and raising awareness, such as the National Kidney Disease Education Program (NKDEP).
According to the United States' leading cancer organizations in October, the risk of Americans dying in cancer continues to decline, and new cancer incidence is stable. From 1993 to 2002, the cancer mortality rate of all cancers decreased by 1. 1 % each year. The NCI has announced the results in the 1975 to 2002 reports on the current status of cancer, in collaboration with the US Disease Control Prevention Center, the American Cancer Association, and the North American Central Central Cancer Center Association.

Researchers found that antiviral treatments are a key component of a multipronged approach.
An international team of researchers, partly funded by NIAID and working in more than 20 laboratories around the world, has sequenced the genomes of three parasites that cause deadly insect-borne diseases: African sleeping sickness, leishmaniasis, and Chagas disease. Knowing the full genetic makeup of the three parasites may lead to better ways to treat and prevent the diseases they cause.
The Women's Health Study, a long-term clinical trial sponsored by the NHLBI and NCI, found that vitamin E supplements did not protect healthy women from heart attacks or strokes. Vitamin E supplements also had no effect on the most common cancers in women or on cancer overall.
The Protein Structure Initiative (PSI) has completed its first five-year phase and is moving into its second phase. PSI aims to calculate the three-dimensional shape of proteins, with the long-term goal being to be able to predict the structure of most proteins from their DNA sequence. The first phase of PSI was dedicated to figuring out how proteins are processed and to determining protein three-dimensional structures more efficiently, and has solved over 1. 100 protein structures. The second phase is the production phase, in which thousands more protein structures will be solved and stored in the Protein Data Bank (http://www. rcsb. org/pdb/), a public repository with powerful tools for processing protein structure information.

The Antihypertensive and Lipid Lowering to Prevent Heart Attack Trial (Allhat), a long-term, multinational trial of antihypertensive therapy funded by the NHLBI, found that diuretics are more effective than newer medications for treating high blood pressure and reducing the risk of heart disease in both black and non-black patients. This large study, which involved 33, 357 people, concluded that diuretics should be the first-line treatment for most people with high blood pressure.
Three independent research teams supported by the NEI have discovered a gene called complement factor H (CFH) that influences the risk of developing age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the leading cause of blindness in people over 60 years of age. They found that people with this variant of the CFH gene, including the NIH researchers themselves, were more than seven times more likely to develop the disease.
Heart Truth, a national campaign to raise awareness of heart disease in women organized by NHLBI, held the Red Dress Collection 2005 fashion show at Olympus Fashion Week in New York on February 4, National Wear Red Day. First Lady Laura Bush, who is the national campaign ambassador for NHLBI, along with Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, and NHLBI Director Dr. Elizabeth Narbel, presented the fashion show at a press event held during Season of Life in New York. Produced by Johnson & Johnson, Heavenly Spice, and Swarovski, the show was hosted by actress Vanessa Williams and featured 26 of America's most influential designers and celebrity models. The fashion show brought to life the red dress, a national symbol of women and heart disease awareness. In a January poll conducted by Harris Interactive, 60% of all women surveyed agreed that seeing a red dress made them want to learn more about heart disease, 25% recalled a red dress as a national symbol of women and heart disease, and 45% agreed that seeing a red dress made them want to consult a doctor or get tested.
Research funded by NCI for nearly 20 years led to FDA approval of a vaccine to prevent cervical cancer, which claims the lives of about 4, 000 women in the United States each year. It was the first cancer vaccine approved by the FDA.
