...first study, involving 1,468 prostate-cancer patients receiving testosterone-depleting therapy - which can retard the growth of tumors but increases the risk of brittle bones and osteoporosis - half were given denosumab injections every six months for 36 months, and the other half were given a placebo. Over the course of the three-year study, the treatment group had a 62% lower risk of spinal fracture than the placebo group (1.5% of treated patients suffered a fracture vs. 3.9% of the placebo group) and a 5.6% increase in bone-mineral density in the spine. Patients receiving a placebo...
...Saberi's detention had the hallmarks of a diplomatic cat-and-mouse game from the start. Iran watchers viewed it as a play by Iranian hard-liners to insert themselves into the debate over diplomatic engagement, giving anti-détente forces a tool to retard diplomatic progress because the U.S. would have to limit its engagement with Tehran as long as Saberi was held captive. "They can use her to sabotage any opening," said Suzanne Maloney, an Iran expert at the Brookings Institution. (See pictures of the health-care system in Tehran...
...shitting you. I might be shitting myself right now, but I’m not shitting you. 9. FM: Who would win in a game of one-on-one: D.A. or Max?

...There is in analytic terms a deeper moral and cultural crisis that overshadows the lives of the poorest children in our most isolated inner city neighborhoods. There are major structural barriers which retard the development of Black inner city communities: joblessness, social isolation, social decay and discrimination. But in addition to all this these communities are in the midst of a kulturekamph of Black-on-Black violence which is a direct result of the political crisis of fatherlessness. At the root of the instability of the Black ghettos is the fact that there is not a functional patrilineal system that...
...also worth remembering, says Adamkin, that some fish-oil capsules may contain mercury, which can actually deter brain development in children, and some studies have shown that too much omega-3 can retard kids' language development. It's also not clear from the current study exactly how much additional omega-3 is actually needed to see a benefit; while Makrides's study targeted the amounts a third-trimester fetus might receive, it's possible that the same brain benefits may accrue with less supplementation, or that more benefits may be gained by increasing the dose...
