...pocketbook considerations. The greater likelihood of ER-negative breast cancer in Africans and Asians means that such drugs as the estrogen blockers are not on the menu of pharmaceutical options. That rules out one of the cheapest and most available breast-cancer drugs in Africa: a $150-a-dose generic version of tamoxifen (and even that would be far too expensive for many women). Traditional chemotherapy may cost $20,000 or more. Merely determining which type of cancer a woman has may require genetic testing, which can add an additional $3,000 to the bill...
What is unusual about this case is that there were no motorcyclists involved. Motorbikes account for 9% of the city's vehicles but they cause more accidents than all the rest combined, according to city traffic officials. That means moto-medics also come with a dose of irony. "I saw someone on the television last night saying she'd kill all the motorcyclists in the city if she could," says the fire department's Palumbo. "But if she crashes her car, her opinion will change, because we'll be there to help...
...direction of an assertive TF, but when none is forthcoming, the collective geniality and good humor of everyone else can help to ease tensions. People should step up more often. Much more common than rancorous, intra-section feuds, however, are uncomfortable silences. Nothing can kill good discussion like a dose of garden-variety, Harvard-style awkwardness. In this case, the best remedy is usually an affable, eccentric type to put everyone else at ease. When one member of a section is goofy or ridiculous, its other members stop fearing that they will make fools out of themselves and start taking...
...being named suspects, when they returned to England.) At first, the DNA news seemed the first real break in the case in months, and a new theory presented itself: the McCanns wanted a night out with friends, so they drugged their little ones with painkillers or sedatives. Madeleine's dose was mismeasured, or she had an unexpected reaction. The parents somehow hid her corpse for weeks and then got the body out in the trunk of their rental car even though a phalanx of reporters was camped in Praia...
Stevenson found that children in both age groups were significantly more hyperactive when drinking the beverage with higher levels of additives. Three-year-olds had a bigger response than the older kids did to the drink with the lower dose of additives, which had about the same amount of food coloring as in two 2-oz. (57 g) bags of candy. But even within each age group, some children responded strongly and others not at all. Stevenson's team is looking at how genetic differences may explain the range of sensitivity. One of his colleagues believes that the additives...
