Because false grails have been hailed in the past, the U.S. scientists reporting the new development this week used guarded language. Further tests are scheduled to confirm the find, details of which are scheduled for publication in the British journal Nature. Still, Drs. Robert McAllister and Murray Gardner are willing to say: "We're almost certain that this is the virus we're after...
...three researchers-Drs. Ellis Cohen and J. Weldon Bellville and Biostatistician Byron Brown-conducted parallel studies on two groups of women who serve in hospitals. The first study reviewed the miscarriage rates of 159 nurses. Among the 67 operating-room nurses queried, 29.7% of the pregnancies occurring over a five-year period ended in miscarriage; among the 92 nurses assigned elsewhere in the hospital, only 8.8% of pregnancies ended in spontaneous abortion. The second study involved 131 women physicians, 50 of them anaesthesiologists, the rest used as a control group. Only 10% of the pregnancies that occurred in the control...
Dentists have long attempted to correct some conditions by bridging sections of jawbone with particles of bone from other parts of the body. But the aim of the Denver trio-Drs.

...site of cancer. In women under 50, vaginal cancer had been virtually unknown. Now at least a score of cases in teen-agers and women up to age 22 have been found in the U.S. The first seven, all detected since 1966, were reported a year ago by Drs.

The doctors then could not even hazard a guess to explain this sudden cluster of rarities. Moreover, all but one of the cancers were...
...impeded the synthesis of a prostaglandin known to cause fever in cats. In another, Dr. Vane and his colleagues Sergio Ferreira and Salvador Moncada found that aspirin blocked the release of prostaglandins in a dog's spleen that had been removed and kept functioning artificially. In a third, Drs. John Brian Smith and Anthony Willis showed that aspirin prevented production of prostaglandins in human blood platelets...
