...impulsivity? The standard answer tends to involve people who can't control their emotions or who get into bar fights. A study conducted in Finland found that men so characterized tend to be deficient in the brain hormone serotonin -- one of several chemical messengers that transmit signals between nerve cells. In another study researchers found that the men in a Dutch family with a history of male violence seemed to lack the ability to break down certain neurotransmitters, including serotonin, that build up in the brain during flight-or-fight situations. Couple this with persistent statistical surveys purporting to show...
...most troubled by one incident that occurred. It has been reported in several publications and acknowledged by Professor Stager himself that he, a chaired professor at Harvard University, took a cartridge from a facsimile machine used to transmit museum and departmental correspondence. From this he was able to replicate all the private correspondence transmitted by this machine. This action is despicable and unethical...
...take special precautions. The moral duty of those already afflicted, though, must be clearly articulated: being intimate without prior disclosure is like serving arsenic in a cake. And not informing previous contacts (or not helping public authorities trace them without disclosing your name) leaves the victims, unwittingly, to transmit the fatal disease to uncounted others...
...hospitals be required to ask patients whose blood is already being tested whether they would consent to having it tested for HIV as well. The test costs $60 or less and routinely identifies many who were unaware they had the virus. If those who are thus identified were to transmit the disease to only one less person on average, the suggested tests would pay for themselves much more readily than a coronary bypass, PSA tests and half the pills we pop. And society could continue to enjoy the lifelong earnings and social contributions of those whose lives would be saved...
Teleradiography allows physicians to use computer networks to to share images with colleagues and students around the area, thus making possible efficient collaborations on diagnoses and treatment programs. By digitizing data from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), CAT scans and some digital X-ray machines, radiologists such as Kolodny can transmit X-rays of broken bones all over the world...
