...stimulus plans will not be frozen at the G-20 meeting and plans often don't last long in a crisis. German and France may find the economic situations of their countries deteriorating more than they expected. The call for issuing more debt and supporting job creation may get louder as unemployment rises into the double digits. What seem like a sustainable polity on debt and stimulus may be now, but if EU GDP begins to contract faster and harder than expected, a wave of government desperation could sweep the countries in the union. Obama may have...
...Unlike many previous studies, which have looked only at the success rates of individual fresh embryo transfers, this study also considered the cumulative success rate for all embryos created and implanted from a single harvesting of eggs - including those that had been frozen. Researchers found that the total pregnancy rate per egg retrieval was higher when embryos were implanted individually. For each "ovum pickup," the overall pregnancy rate was 38% among women who had elective single-embryo transfers, and 33% among those who had more than one embryo implanted...
...that success can be attributed to improvements in freezing techniques, says Dr. Hannu Martikainen, the study's lead author and the chief physician at the University of Oulu Division of Infertility and Reproductive Endocrinology. "Now we have more and more experience, and we are doing more and more frozen cycles," he says. He points out the importance of not only transferring but also preserving each embryo on its own, which makes it possible to use frozen embryos one at a time rather than in bigger batches. "[If you transfer] three embryos in each cycle, you very soon don't have...
Udelnaya is a sleepy town southeast of Moscow, full of muddy roads lined with brightly painted wooden houses. Behind a frozen stream there is one large brick building that looks a little out of place. Inside are hundreds of rows of jars exuding an unpleasant smell. They are full of Hirudo medicinalis, more commonly known as leeches. But few locals are turning up their noses at the presence of so many blood-sucking annelids. Leeches are the flourishing industry in Udelnaya, a bright spot in a Russian economy hurtling into recession...
...believed that Laura Ling and Euna Lee of the San Francisco based Current TV were nabbed by North Korean border guards in the early morning hours after allegedly straying past the border, an unmarked halfway point on the frozen river. It's not a good idea "to behave like it's the Belgium-French border" says Andre Lankov, a North Korea expert who visited the area last summer and only approached the border when he was accompanied by Chinese police. Less than 50 meters across a frozen no man's land and "you're dealing with the world's most...
