...solid methodology as far as it goes, but not the same as, say, a blood test for anaemia or an x-ray of a broken femur. In the search for a test offering this kind of diagnostic certainty in mental illness, two Australian researchers believe they've made a leap. Gin Malhi and Jim Lagopoulos, from the department of psychological medicine at Sydney's Royal North Shore Hospital, report detecting what appear to be abnormalities in the workings of the brain of people with bipolar disorder - a finding, they say, that could eventually allow doctors to subdue the condition before...
...helicopters barely touched the ground at the edge of Qubah long enough for 241 soldiers to leap out and begin moving into the town to go house to house in search of insurgents as artillery fire shattered trees in the surrounding palm groves.

Healthy sports lovers care passionately not because they truly think sport is a matter of life and death, but despite the fact they know it's not. When fanaticism starts hurting people, killing them, even, that contradiction vanishes and so does...

Hama believes that Tamiflu can directly cause temporary neurological disorders in a small percentage of users - especially young people. That can lead to abnormal behavior, such as a seemingly happy, healthy teenager suddenly deciding to leap off a high-rise apartment building. Hama also notes that the Tamiflu doses taken in Japan can be as much as 10 times greater than the normal amount taken in the U.S., which could aggravate the side effects. "There is no possibility whatsoever" that there could be another cause behind...
