Over the years, we noticed that each time we visited, Noah had a new scar, a black eye or a chipped tooth. In clinical parlance, these were Noah's "unobserved, self-inflicted injuries" - or USIs. One day, Noah had a dozen thick, black stitches on his forehead. As Noah's medications increased, so too did the number of USIs he suffered. Noah was already on Trileptal, Zyprexa and oral and injected Ativan. The collective side effects of these three drugs filled three pages of his IPP. I've looked and never been able to find a study of how they...

His right hand still bears a distinct scar from an encounter gone awry. Murphy hopes that this past experience will give him an edge amongst over 34,000 competitors, including Cabot House resident Thomas R. Benson ’09.

...glass. He shows how looters dug wells, then tunneled horizontally when a promising layer was reached.

Last week Wood got a call from his brother, who said he just saw the Bucs named the worst NFL team in history on some television program. (Thanks, bro.) "How do you think that made me feel?" Wood asks. "It's hard...
...anesthesia shots she got before the implantation were "painful." And afterward, she had cramps for a few hours akin to the ones during her period. The 1 1/2-in.-long (38 mm) coils--which are like pen springs but smaller and softer--contain fibers that irritate the tubes and prompt scar tissue to grow into and around the tiny loops. After three months, the Fallopian tubes are blocked, preventing eggs from reaching the uterus to be fertilized...
