...When these patients develop recurrent boils, they undergo weeks of bleach baths and intranasal antibiotic creams to hopefully eradicate the resistant bacteria that have colonized their skin and nasal passages. Occasionally, oral antibiotics are ineffective and patients must be admitted to a hospital to receive intravenous therapy and sometimes surgical treatment of their abscesses. Unlike strep, staph is alive and getting stronger all the time, with few new effective antibiotics on the horizon...
...collapse of the Soviet Union because we had resources that we could not make use of. We have factories that need raw materials, such as fuel, or some more updated technologies so we may accept a joint venture. The principle we base our activities on is that to develop the country needs capital, technology and markets. All these investments and joint ventures are fundamentally aimed at export production...
Castro: Our main objective is to preserve the revolution: our independence and the achievements of socialism. We have not renounced socialism as our common objective. Now we are introducing reforms to develop the country during the ``special period'' because the socialist camp has disappeared. We have lost more than 70% of our imports. We were left without credits, without capital, without technology and without markets...
...same time, Harvard has opened another battleground in the search for cells. After exhaustive ethical review, its researchers announced this summer that they would develop new cell lines through somatic cell nuclear transfer, or therapeutic cloning. In this process, a cell from a patient with diabetes, for instance, is inserted into an unfertilized egg whose nucleus has been removed; then it is prodded into growing in a petri dish for a few days until its stem cells can be harvested. Unlike fertility-clinic embryos, these cells would match the patient's DNA, so the body would be less likely...
...says Owen Witte, director of UCLA's Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Medicine, "we can measure in your blood if you're producing insulin, but we can't see whether the cells have grown or evaluate whether they might grow into a tumor." So scientists are seeking to develop marking systems that let them trace a transplant's performance...
