The 2018 Pneumonia and Diarrhea Progress Report--released ahead of the 10th annual World Pneumonia Day, on November 12, by the International Vaccine Access Center (IVAC) at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health--describes efforts to fight pneumonia and diarrhea in 15 countries with the greatest number of deaths from these illnesses. | | | | |  The interactions that take place between the species of microbes living in the gastrointestinal system often have large and unpredicted effects on health, according to new work from a team led by Carnegie's Will Ludington. | | | | |  Men with inflammatory bowel disease have four to five times higher risk of being diagnosed with prostate cancer, reports a 20-year study from Northwestern Medicine. | | | | |  Tight junctions are multi-protein complexes that serve as barriers in epithelial tissues such as the skin or lining of the gut.
