...amphetamines to get high (particularly if they snort, smoke or inject) will continue to use, despite negative consequences - addiction rates are much lower when drugs like Ritalin and Adderall are prescribed for ADHD. It's not clear whether the pattern of addiction under medical supervision for enhancement would follow the former or the latter - or whether it would even meet the bar for addiction. Medically speaking, without the element of harm, regular drug use - or even dependence - alone doesn't qualify as addiction...
...desiccated place. But that doesn't mean Mars wasn't once wet, and its topography - scarred with what appear to be ancient river channels and dry seabed - suggests that the planet once fairly sloshed with water. If you want to find signs of ancient life, the key is to follow that water - or at least the places it used...
...high oil prices were essentially a tax on consumers; the money just went to oil companies instead of the government. But he forgets that oil companies do not have control over their prices. If they did, then why would oil prices ever drop? Kinsley's logic does not follow. Ryan Young and Drew Tidwell, Competitive Enterprise Institute, Washington...
Researchers from the Netherlands report in the New England Journal of Medicine that they have found a way to increase the chances that kidneys from deceased donors will succeed after transplant, thus sparing patients from expensive follow-up care or even another organ transplant. In the largest and first study of its kind, doctors compared two existing ways of preserving kidneys taken from deceased donors - in cold storage in an ice pack, or via cold perfusion, which involves hooking the kidney up to a machine that pumps a chilled blood-like solution throughout the organ. (See the top 10 medical...
...cold-stored kidneys. More significantly, 26% of the cold-stored organs failed to function in the first weeks after transplant, compared with only 21% of the kidneys that were perfused. While the differences were small, say experts, they can be significant when you consider the costs of dialysis and follow-up care for failed transplants. "Four percent may not appear to be a lot, but if this difference persisted across the country, that would be a significant cost benefit on behalf of the patient," says Dr. Bryan Becker, president of the National Kidney Foundation. "I think this study...
