Nanoturbocharging Antibiotics Hydrogen Peroxide Boosts Radiation Therapy Peptide Treats Croup and Pneumonia Drug Boosts Immunity to Hepatitis B Cutting Edge Wireless Implants Avocado Therapy For Leukemia   As bacteria and fungi become more antibiotic-resistant, we need ever stronger drugs.  Australian microbiologists have one solution by formulating the antibiotic tobramycin with a lipid liquid crystal nanoparticle that amplifies tobramycin’s killing potency 100,000 times when used against the dread bug pseudomonas living in a mucus coating called a biofilm. This discovery should revolutionize the management of cystic fibrosis in children.    University of Iowa researchers now report that the drug Avasopasem manganese makes cancer radiation therapy safer and more effective.  This drug mimics a natural body enzyme and converts the toxin superoxide produced by the radiation into hydrogen peroxide that is harmles
