...find the structural mechanism for the HIV virus’s drug resistance, we can see how those mutations will react with the drug molecules and better design drug therapy,” said Jing Zhang, a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard and the lead author of the paper...
This knowledge could one day help doctors better design drug therapies by allowing them to sequence patients’ viruses and predict which drugs the HIV strain would be the most likely to become resistant to in advance, according to Zhang. Such an application could make treatments much more cost-effective, she added...
...this undead society, where young women wear crimson lipstick and blood is sold at the equivalent of coffee bars - I'll have a double-frappuccino hemoglobin, please. Set in 2019, the movie has a retro-future look, naturally indebted to Blade Runner, but which the Spierigs and their design team have brought to artful life on a less than lavish budget, with cool blues and grays complementing the vampires' pallor. (You'll get another retro-future landscape next week in The Book of Eli, directed by another twin-brother team, Allen and Albert Hughes.) Made in Australia back...
...small Namibian city of Swakopmund - known as Swakop to the locals - has a discernible Germanic flavor and design, dating back to Namibia's colonial days as German Southwest Africa. Today, the trappings of a beach resort are mixed in with that Old World charm. Imagine Bavaria by the sea. There's even an Oktoberfest...
...mention that some doctors object on the grounds that checklists take too long. Do they? If they're badly designed. One of the fascinating things to me was going to visit Boeing's checklist factory, where they make over 100 checklists a year and design them in ways that pilots can actually use them in a time crush. They helped us design ours. We set a target that no step along the way would take more than 60 seconds and the whole process should be, in routine situations, under two minutes total. The Mayo Clinic adopted the checklist that...
