"One of the most disturbing qualities observed in the children . . . was the . . . apparent weakness in their attachments to adults (sometimes including parents) in or out of the compound," says Bruce Perry, the Baylor College of Medicine psychiatrist who headed the team of 12 medical volunteers that studied the children for two months following the Feb. 28 raid...

Neither did emergency room doctors, who initially diagnosed Nelson's problem as bronchitis. Women heart patients charge that doctors often fail to respond with the same alacrity to their cardiac symptoms as to those of male patients.

Loyola's Malloy suggests that women must be more assertive about their heart concerns. "If you have unexplained chest pains," she says, "start with...
Applying this knowledge to human embryos created by in vitro fertilization, doctors at London's Hammersmith Hospital, led by Alan Handyside and Robert Winston, perfected a technique for drawing cells into hair-thin pipettes one at a time. Then they teamed up with a group from Houston's Baylor College of Medicine and Methodist Hospital who had developed a procedure for rapidly spotting the cystic fibrosis defect in a single strand of DNA, using the gene- cloning technique called polymerase chain reaction.

Unable to produce the CAMs that enable leukocytes to stick where they are needed, these rescue cells were sliding past Brooke's wounds like a convoy of ambulances with no brakes. "This child can't heal a paper cut," says Brooke's mother Bonnie. For now, her daughter's life remains a continuous battle against infection, though...
