...Drs. Kenneth Ullman and Robert Groh base their warning on studies of 36 patients who came to the Washington Hospital Center emergency room in a disoriented, schizoid state. Urinalysis revealed that ten of the patients had been taking nonprescription sleeping pills, and the doctors have little doubt that scopolamine, a key ingredient in many such preparations, was responsible for their psychotic behavior. Seven of the patients had intentionally overdosed themselves with up to 50 pills in attempts at suicide. Most improved when given injections of physostigmine salicylate, a drug that counteracts scopolamine...
...overcome this obstacle, the NIH researchers-Drs. Brian Murphy, Elias Chalhub and Robert Chanock and Biologist Sandra Nusinoff-decided to beat the virus at its own flexible game. Vaccines now in use are made with a type of virus that has been killed and therefore has only limited ability to stimulate the body's immunological system. The new vaccine uses a combination of live viruses that brings about a stronger immune reaction. These active (though weakened) agents can also be grown in cultures more quickly, giving scientists a better chance of staying even with the most recent flu threat...

Most of the doctors' colleagues applauded their patience in delaying surgery. But some questioned their use of a low-roughage diet. According to Drs.

...Metaphysics aside, just how dirty is money? Filthy indeed, according to a report by two doctors at the University of Louisville School of Medicine. Writing in the A.M.A. Journal, Drs. Berel Abrams and Norton Waterman report that money carries copious quantities of potentially harmful bacteria. They base their conclusion on analysis of 150 coins worth $13.47 and 50 bills totaling $150. The coins were relatively clean; only 13.3% yielded common bacteria like Staphylococcus. But 42% of the bills carried that type as well as Escherichia coli. To avoid contamination by cash, the Louisville researchers suggest that people...
