Since the Administration proposal guarantees benefits to anyone meeting federal guidelines, while reducing the federal share of the costs, many governors object to being forced to foot the bill for a program the federal government controls. The governors have plenty of experience with that sort of federal tactic...
BERKELEY, California: Researchers in California report they have developed a new chemical compound that could one day treat flu infections by blocking an enzyme, called neuramindase, that the virus needs in order to reproduce. Early tests of the experimental GS 4104 compound have produced better-than-expected results by knocking out samples of all major flu types in five different species of lab animals, according to a report in the latest issue of the Journal of the American Chemical Society. GS 4104 contains the infection by preventing newly-formed viruses from leaving the host cell. But don't expect...
...some of the same conditions that led to the mad-cow breakout in Britain might not exist here, leading to the same spread of the BSE pathogen. Making things even harder, scientists still can't agree on what that pathogen is--a first step in figuring out how to treat the disease if it does surface. "The only thing that stands between us and an epidemic," says Robert Rohwer, director of molecular virology at the VA Medical Center in Baltimore, "is unmitigated luck...
...course, no regulatory measure will take the place of finding a way to treat or prevent BSE infection. But the disease may at last be starting to give up its secrets. A number of researchers are convinced that mad cow is caused not by a common bacterium or virus but by a vanishingly small crumb of protein known as a prion...
