...still advocating for women today, I'd like to correct a widely held myth repeated in your article: that the mass move to hospital births accounted for the huge drop in the maternal mortality rate between 1940 and 1960. Actually, public-health developments such as the availability of antibiotics, blood transfusions and intravenous fluids accounted for most of that reduction in the death rate. The real question is why that rate has doubled since 1982. Remember: the home-birth rate has been less than 1% since the 1970s - far too small to account for the rise in the death rate...
...again. We are now dealing with drugs that are not detected at all because no good test has been developed for them. That includes growth factors. The most frequently used is at present IGF-1, insulin-like growth factor 1, which is not detected in urine or even blood tests. There are also some variants of human erythropoietin (EPO) and growth factor that cannot be easily identified. And there are now very short-lived androgenic steroids. Short-lived means that, after a day and a half, they are no longer detectable in the urine. And there are lyophilized proteolytic enzymes...
...Even before this month's crescendo of strikes sounded its loudest note Tuesday, French security officials aired concerns AQIM may be planning to again turn the Ramadan holy month, which starts September 1 this year, into a season of blood-letting as jihadists in Algeria and elsewhere have in the past...
...Harvard researchers have already created stem cells for ten genetic disorders using a new technique that isolates human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. The technique allows scientists to genetically manipulate a patient's cells—typically skin cells or blood cells—and reprogram them into a pluripotent state; like embryonic stem cells, these iPS cells are then capable of morphing into any type of body tissue...
...cells are not subject to federal restrictions on embryonic stem cells as they are from skin cells or blood cells instead of embryos, a fact that allows iPS cells to sidestep much of the ethical debate surrounding research on embryonic stem cells. Hochedlinger said though that it would be a mistake to "give up on embryonic stem cells" before scientists find a way to make iPS cells without using potentially harmful genetic manipulation...
