There are side effects. Some patients developed fevers, rashes and anemia. There's also a theoretical possibility, says Dr. Kevan Herold, principal investigator at Columbia University's medical school, that the treatment will increase the risk of developing cancer. But for now, researchers are sufficiently encouraged to launch another trial that will test whether repeating the two-week treatments every six or 12 months makes a difference. There are also plans to try the antibody treatment on a kind of autoimmune arthritis that develops in people with psoriasis. (The treatment is not expected to work on Type 2 diabetes, which...
...protect first cousin marriages in all states. It is highly hypocritical for the government to deny marriage to these couples when they allow those with even more easily transferable conditions to marry. A child whose parents each have a single gene for a recessive disease such as sickle cell anemia or cystic fibrosis has a 25 percent chance of actually contracting the disease, yet the government does not restrict their marital choices. Even more damning is the case of dominant genetic diseases like Huntington’s disease, where if even a single parent has the disease, the child...

...rivers of fish so fat that each could feed a family, this is now a poisoned desert of salt and brown dust. The catalog of catastrophes that makes up one of the world's worst environmental disasters includes mankind's largest current tuberculosis epidemic and highest rates of anemia, the biggest dust bowl on earth and one of the most extreme ranges of temperatures?from 50C to minus 30C?on the planet. The landscape is not only inhospitable, it is also dangerous: on the island of Vozrozhdeniye, in the drying Aral Sea, is what used to be the largest biological...
