...That's what three researchers from Johns Hopkins Medical School in Baltimore believe. In a highly speculative, but well-reasoned, article in the Journal of the American Medical Association, they argue that testicular cancer is amenable to current treatments because testicular cancer cells are particularly vulnerable to modest increases in temperature - in the same way that normal sperm cells are vulnerable to increases in temperature. (Indeed, without the testes' somewhat cooler environment outside the body, most sperm cells would degenerate and be unable to fertilize eggs...
...marker board Andrea used to home school their children, Rusty has drawn charts of her depressive episodes and hospital stays since 1999. He can cite studies in the American Journal of Forensic Medicine and Pathology; he has read the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. His wife's major depressive episodes, he says, are described on page 356. His obligation to support her, he says, goes beyond their wedding vows. "She wasn't just my wife. She's my best friend. And my friend's in trouble...
...cudgel with which to pound him. Olmert was particularly vulnerable because of his lack of security credentials--in a country that often entrusts high political office to its war heroes. During his compulsory military service, Private Olmert found glory as a mere reporter for the army's radio and journal. (At age 35, seven years into his career as a member of the Knesset, he enrolled in an officer-training course, emerging as a second lieutenant and polishing his political résumé.) Not that Olmert seems fazed by his past: he is outwardly macho and even arrogant...
...Reed, it sometimes appeared, Christian voters were pawns in a game of power swapping. The Journal-Constitution reported that the man who had once condemned China for its one-child policy and its persecution of Christians had created a "grass-roots" Christian group to lobby for freer trade with the superpower--an effort quietly financed by major U.S. corporations like Boeing that were the Georgian's true clients. The profits Reed collected from such dealings were not, by any indication, the wages of illegal behavior. But to some they were the wages of sin. "He got nailed for being...
Bees may be the summer picnicker's bane, but they're a crucial part of many ecosystems--and their role in pollinating crops makes them important to the economy as well. That's why scientists are alarmed by a new study in the journal Science. Over the past 26 years, say European researchers, the diversity of species in British and Dutch wild bees--and the wildflowers they favor--has plummeted. That's not to say there are fewer bees (some species are thriving) but there are fewer varieties, and that is not good news. An ecosystem with fewer species...
