...only expert impressed with the results. "This is a very good study that at least suggests strongly that there is a benefit to starting treatment early," says Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute on Allergy and Infectious Diseases. But is it enough to change the current guidelines for when HIV-positive patients should start ART? "That is a question of debate now in the scientific and public-health community," he says...
...controlled trial. And as convincing and as large as the current study is, Fauci notes that it too lacks this scientific imprimatur. In Kitahata's study, researchers followed patients as they and their doctors made their own decisions about when they would begin drug therapy. Those who chose to start early - before their CD4 counts reached 350 cells or 500 cells, for instance - may have simply been more health-conscious overall and therefore less likely to die, which could have confounded the study's results. Only a randomized and controlled trial in which patients are arbitrarily assigned either to initiate...
...weeks before Election Day, Barack Obama's campaign was mobilizing millions of supporters; it was a bit late to start rewriting get-out-the-vote (GOTV) scripts.

Would you be interested in at least taking a look? Of course you would...
...first sign of the behavioralist takeover surfaced on April 1, when Americans began receiving $116 billion worth of payroll-tax cuts from the stimulus package. Obama isn't sending us one-time rebate checks. Reason: his goal is to jump-start consumer spending, and research has shown we're more likely to save money rather than spend it when we get it in a big chunk. Instead, Obama made sure the tax cuts will be paid out through decreased withholding, so our regular paychecks will grow a bit and we'll be less likely to notice the windfall. The idea...
Season 1 was gripping, but it raised the question of whether In Treatment could start again from scratch. That doesn't seem to be a problem. It's like a police procedural of the mind; if there are a million ways for CSI to solve murders, surely there are dozens of ways for Paul to follow dark tunnels in search of life's imponderables. It's a crazy world out there. It could keep Paul Weston busy for a long, long time...
