...their life. So the devil here is truly in the details. Who knew that Anne Sexton had several glasses of vodka and put on her mother's fur before gassing herself? Or that Abbie Hoffman was watching his favorite film, The Godfather, as he swallowed a fatal dose of whiskey and barbiturates? Or that when the police departed - and she was finally left alone with her dead husband's corpse - Courtney Love dipped her hands in Kurt Cobain's blood before eerily washing a piece of his blown-out skull...
...clear yet how much immune response is necessary to protect against infection or illness, but if the trials' final data confirm that one dose of vaccine is sufficient, it could mean that twice as many people as expected could be immunized in mid-October, when the U.S. government intends to make available the first batch of 45 million doses. The Australian researchers stress that while their results are encouraging, they are also incomplete; they have not compared the response in these vaccinated volunteers to a group of unimmunized controls, so it's still too early to decide whether...
...study, scientists explored another question - whether the current vaccine doses would still be effective if they were halved, by being diluting with an adjuvant (currently, the U.S. government has not approved any vaccines with adjuvants, but some have been approved in other countries). The answer, it seems, in another early look at the data, is yes. Even a single dose of the watered-down version of the vaccine produced enough antibodies to protect against infection in 80% of the 175 people studied...
...borne out, the results suggest that more vaccine may be available for more people and that more people could be protected against H1N1 sooner. If only a single dose is required, that means vaccines could yield protection within three to four weeks after inoculation, instead of the six to eight weeks it would take if two doses were needed...
...host of subjects: “Africans are content with the political kingdom.”Thirty years after it first appeared in the United States, “North of South” is as thrilling, disturbing, and relevant as ever. Read it to receive a much-needed dose of honesty in the face of the increasingly desensitized literary and political discourse on Africa.—Staff writer Keshava D. Guha kdguha@fas.harvard.edu...
