...mice whose cancer had become resistant to traditional chemotherapy schedules, the new treatment regimen was three times as effective as the standard regimen in suppressing tumor growth. The standard regimen entails higher doses of chemotherapy drugs, administered less frequently...
...Shot is meant to protect me in case those starving Stalinists across the border decide, in a disastrous fit of pique, to gas us. My March injection is meant to be the first in a six-week, three-shot regimen that will then require semi-annual and, finally, annual boosters until I'm out of the service and safe at home with just one paycheck again. Which sounds like a fine idea. Except that a handful of soldiers are blaming The Shot for any number of physical ravages (thyroid malfunctions, autoimmune disorders, heart stoppages, etc.), and a growing number...

Tokyo House is spending $15,000 a week to advertise its "Olympics Package," which offers sushi eaten from naked female bodies. Not to be outdone, the nearby Tiffany's is touting its $50,000-a-day regimen, which includes drinks, food and careful consideration of "special needs." The New South Wales government recently released a health and safety video for sex workers on topics from condom use to employer responsibility for work injuries...
