That's why a DVT study published last week in the Journal of the American Medical Association caused such a stir. Scientists in Scotland asked 73 healthy volunteers to spend eight hours in a hypobaric chamber in conditions that simulated a plane flying at nearly 8,000 ft. Blood drawn after the test showed no evidence that air- pressure or oxygen levels had activated the clotting mechanism...
Next time you take a trip to the doctor’s office for a routine physical examination, you will no doubt have your blood pressure checked and your larynx ogled. But you will also have your blood drawn for HIV/AIDS testing—and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. On May 9, The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommended non-binding guidelines stating that testing for the HIV virus be included among the standard battery of tests for Americans, age 13 to 64. The CDC claimed that 250,000 Americans afflicted with...
...Blair's tone may have been affectionate and familiar, but the drawn-out process that led to Muammar Gaddafi coming in from the cold wasn't always so warm. At one point, Seif al Islam recalls, his father "suspected an ambush" by the West: getting him to give up his only deterrent but withholding diplomatic rehabilitation.

On one hand, he proposed injecting the National Guard into the overheated border dispute, some 6,000 troops drawn from around the U.S. On the other, he made it clear that the Guard's role would be logistical, not law enforcement. And Bush tugged on different emotional strings-at once invoking America's immigrant past and at the same time describing illegals as a strain on local governments who bring crime. He continuously used the word "comprehensive" to make it clear that border security alone would...
...left of cloud will be the artist's 11-m-long glass ceiling, inspired by her painting two halves with bailer shell, 2002, in the NGA collection. Floating in a glassy sea of Prussian and ultramarine blue, the sand-blasted image is deceptively beautiful: the Aboriginal bailer shell was drawn from a collection at the British Museum where a friend of Watson's was working last decade, and her work is about the sometimes painful process of cultural retrieval. Watson, 46, who traces her lineage to the Waanyi country of northwest Queensland, calls her blue "the liquid color of dreams...
