...priority research areas. Separately, some of the scientists will also discuss a forthcoming research project that intends to duplicate the Lufthansa study, but with more sophisticated procedures and equipment. "There have been a lot of changes in blood testing, and technology has moved on," says John Scurr, a consultant vascular surgeon at London's Middlesex Hospital, who will coordinate the research. In a previous study, results of which are soon to be published in the medical journal the Lancet, Scurr conducted research he says "showed that some people develop clots after flying" but didn't pinpoint the reason...

...Once they hoped to cure diseases by repairing defective genes. Now it seems a lot easier to determine what proteins the broken genes should be making and replace them instead. Dr. Jeffrey Isner at St. Elizabeth's Medical Center in Boston has achieved remarkable results with a protein called vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF2) in restoring circulation in the legs of diabetics and, more impressively, stimulating new vessel growth in patients with severe heart disease. Says former Eli Lilly chairman Randall Tobias: "The day will come when we regard all surgeries, except [treatment of] trauma, as failures of the pharmaceutical...
