...Elimite and the over-the-counter permethrin drug Nix, which remain imperfect mainstays in the treatment of lice. "The pyrethrins [RID, Pronto and A-200 Pyrinate] aren't working as well as they used to either," says University of Miami lice expert Terri Meinking. Such insecticide products all have side effects. And none are 100% ovicidal, which doesn't cut it with today's "no-nit" policy in schools. Some parents have taken to dousing their kids' heads with kerosene, which is both highly dangerous and futile. "Another hot item," says Meinking, "is Front Line--the stuff they...
...only are the conventional delousing drugs less efficient, researchers say, but they can also engender maddening side effects, like the "lindane crazies": a drug-induced syndrome that isn't in the medical literature but is nonetheless real for its victims. "They come in with things taped to little pieces of paper," Serrano says. "It's just bits of cotton or lint. They say, 'I feel them right here,' but there's nothing. When you ask them what they've been using, they say, 'I've been using lindane for the past six months...

Expected in some quarters to drag on through the weekend, the deal was reached before desperation set in on NATO?s side. "Moscow had been quite content to prolong the standoff," says TIME Moscow correspondent Andrew Meier. After all, by seizing Pristina's airport and spoiling NATO?s victory parade, Russia restored some of the sense of geopolitical power that had faded since the end of the Cold War. But apparently realizing that the standoff could last only so long -- Russia after all remains in economic free-fall and can't afford to step on the West?s goodwill indfinitely...
...anti-estrogens in other parts of the body," says TIME medical columnist Christine Gorman. In the latest study, for example, the researchers found that raloxifene fits into the body?s estrogen receptors in such a way as to both increase bone density and block breast cancer. There are apparent side effects to raloxifene, however, such as an increased risk of blood clots. And there are also side effects to the other well-known estrogenlike drug, tamoxifen, which can increase the risk of uterine cancer. "A new study is now under way to compare the benefits and risks...
