...rather long competition schedule. The Harvard sailors must possess great endurance in competing virtually every weekend throughout the spring, and just as the closing miles of a 26.2 mile course often prove the most crucial, the Crimson competes in its most important regattas near the end of its spring regimen. The Harvard co-ed sailing team always nears the end of its season with one goal in mind: to qualify for nationals. The squad took the first step towards that target this weekend.“Our main goal this year was to qualify for nationals and do well when...
That's the strategy that Voltarelli's team tested. First, they carefully extracted a population of immune stem cells from the bone marrow of each diabetes patient. Then each person was treated with radiation, similar to the regimen that cancer patients receive, in order to destroy the immune system. Afterward, each patient received his own stem cells back by injection. The scientists traced blood levels of a protein, C-peptide, that beta cells produce, in order to confirm that whatever remaining beta cells the patient had were now able to grow again and repopulate the pancreas - and produce insulin. Sure...

But in response to growing concerns over HIV's increasing ability to become resistant to the drugs, as well as worries over the drugs' toxicity and patients' inconsistent compliance with their regimen, the guidelines dropped to 200 before eventually settling at 350 cells - much further along in the progression of the disease...
Caro was intrigued enough by the topic to want to see for himself. He watched the force feeding regimen on farms from California to upstate New York to France, interviewed the dedicated (and often aggressive) animal activists who are trying to shut down the industry and, along the way, confronted his own food demons. Caro, author of a new book about the debate, The Foie Gras Wars, talked to TIME about why Donald Duck is a force to be reckoned with, the true goals of the animal rights camp and why he won't be craving foie gras any time...
...study found that doctors dismiss 90% of the alerts that automatically pop up on e-prescribing programs as not relevant. They say they find these alerts tedious: for a veteran cancer doctor prescribing anti-nausea medications to patients on chemo, for example, an e-reminder about the drugs' dosing regimen isn't so much helpful as it is irksome and unnecessary...
