...issue of contamination by casual contact: The lecture emphasized that transmission by means other than sexual, maternal, blood transfusion, organ donation or intravenous drug abuse was so low as not to be measureable. However, in the lecture it was argued that to assure the public that there would never be transmission by any other route was to invite future trouble as the attendant press coverage of such an event would be damaging. The argument made was that even if documented such cases would not alter the overwhelming fact that infection is not casually transmitted. The photo caption "AIDS can probably...
Much of the criticism leveled at SI's annual swimwear review focuses on the seemingly paradoxical juxtaposition the magazine's usual apple-pie and Chevrolet subject matter with a thinly disguised exhibition of T&A.

Used as a bridge, the mechanical heart is kept in place until the patient's condition stabilizes and a donor organ is found. Surgeons can now choose among several types of pumps.

Dallara, meanwhile, was connected to a pair of external...

On the surface, cyclosporine (trade name: Sandimmun) would seem to be the last drug one would prescribe for AIDS patients, whose immune systems are already critically depressed. Indeed, an early theory about the cause of AIDS held that it was triggered by a cyclosporine-like substance produced by an infectious fungus...
