...from an insect bite, though she doesn't know how. Her illness, which went undiagnosed for four years, can cause emotional problems. "I'll never be cured completely," she says now, 21/2 years after beginning antibiotic treatment. "I have 16 lesions on my brain, and that's where the bacteria go to have a picnic. I have seizures. I have a sleep disorder. But I'm so much happier now. I'm so grateful for what I have. I can walk. I see things I don't want to take for granted ever again. I try to do more...
...collaborated on the project with Jeffrey A. Linder, instructor in medicine, and David W. Bates, professor of medicine, both at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. According to Soheyla D. Gharib, chief of medicine at University Health Services (UHS), UHS has been trying to mitigate the drug-resistant bacteria that can develop from over-prescription of antibiotics. This year, she said, UHS will begin measuring the rate at which it prescribes antibiotics. The study published yesterday states that physicians prescribed antibiotics in 53 percent of annual visits for sore throat. This exceeds the expected 15 to 36 percent prevalence...
...probably never thought your average house paint could help solve the world energy crunch. But Michael Flickinger, 54, founding director of the University of Minnesota's Biotechnology Institute, has found a way to make hydrogen--and then electricity--from genetically engineered bacteria embedded in the adhesive latex polymer particles that form the basis of most paints. Thinly coated onto plastic or metals, the polymers, which are infused with bacteria, are permeable to gases and nutrients. The coatings--about two-thirds the thickness of a sheet of paper--jump to life when exposed to light and begin making hydrogen gas, which...
...tend to be shy and retiring. Not so these two. Warren, known for his absolute loyalty to the bolo tie, wasn?t afraid to go out on a limb for an improbable idea. Back in 1979, Warren, who was then working at Royal Perth Hospital, observed a spiral bacteria growing in the stomachs of people with gastritis, or inflammation of the stomach. He became the butt of jokes among his colleagues, who knew-it was right there in all the textbooks-that nothing could grow in the acid environment of the stomach...
...found someone who would listen in Marshall, a brash young gastroenterology resident born in the bush to a boilermaker and a nurse. Marshall, who reportedly wrote his first scientific paper on a homemade word processor, was looking for a research project to complete his training and found Warren's bacteria intriguing...
