Terrell Owens: ‘There Was No Suicide Attempt’
FOX News - Sep 27, 2006
“This is a medical issue that involves an individual’s personal health. When we have additional information on Terrell’s condition as it relates to his playing status, we will share it with you. Coach: Owens Seemed ‘Fine’ Cowboy’s coach Bill Parcells said last week that the pain medicine Owens was taking for his hand made him ill. During a press conference Wednesday, Parcells was peppered with questions about Owens, but said he knew nothing about his player’s condition or about what happened. “I’m not the team physician, I’m just the coach and I’m trying to get this team ready to play Tennessee” on Sunday, Parcells said after reporters continued to ask him about Owens. “When I find out what the hell is going on, you’ll know, until then, I’m not getting interrogated for no reason. Parcells said that Owens seemed “fine” during practice Tuesday and in days prior to that… “When I find out what the hell is going on, you’ll know, until then, I’m not getting interrogated for no reason. Parcells said that Owens seemed “fine” during practice Tuesday and in days prior to that. As to whether the incident has caused a distraction for the team, he said: “I don’t think something of this nature is what I would term a ‘distraction. ‘ It’s an unfortunate set of circumstances and I’d like be clear on what they are before I comment on the future. NFL Network analyst Deion Sanders said he spoke with Owens shortly before his release from the hospital and that Owens was in good spirits. “The fact that it has been reported a suicide attempt, he’s laughed at that notion. It was a case that medication that was taken wasn’t accepted well in his system with the other vitamins he’s on,” Sanders said.

He follows last year’s arrival from the University of Michigan of Michael Clarke, MD, who first identified solid tumor stem cells in breast cancer in 2003. With the addition of Beachy and Clarke, Stanford has taken another step toward cementing its position as a leader in a field that is quickly gaining widespread acceptance. Recent reviews in both the New England Journal of Medicine and Nature tout cancer stem cell research as a likely source of future cancer treatments. True, some researchers question the cells’ significance. But a consensus seems to be building that knowledge about these cells will play a pivotal role in developing better ways to combat the disease. Cancer stem cells are believed to be the cells that continuously replenish cancer, like the spring at the source of a creek. Only the cancer stem cell can form a new cancer.
Improving treatment for people with addiction’s

His wide-ranging andstimulating lecture will detail the nature and causes ofaddiction, and progress in treatment in NZ over the lastdecade. “There’s no doubt that the last ten yearshave seen major progress in treating addiction, butthere’s no silver bullet, neither with drugs, alcohol,tobacco nor gambling,” he says. “Some people still thinkthat addiction can be solved by a number-eight-wirementality and common sense. Nothing could be further fromthe truth. Addiction is a complex medico-social problem,hand-cuffed to a society obsessed with consumption.
Virus shows how flu strain committed murder
Independent Online - Sep 27, 2006
The so-called Spanish flu that swept parts of the world at the end of World War 1 claimed, by some estimates, as many as 40 million or 50 million lives - nearly three times more than the 1914-18 conflict itself. The H1N1 virus could take someone in robust good health and put him in his grave in just three or four days, wrecking lung tissue with such efficiency that the patient would sometimes drown in his own blood. In an experiment never seen before in medicine, US researchers went to Alaska to recover tissue samples from a woman victim of Spanish flu whose body had been preserved in permafrost. Teasing out fragments of the virus, they painstakingly recreated the H1N1’s eight genes. They brought back to life a killer last seen more than three generations ago. In a paper published online on Thursday by the British journal Nature, the investigators report that they exposed this replica virus to mice, and compared those results with data using three other flu strains. One of the three was a conventional flu strain; another was a conventional strain with two of the 1918 genes; and the third comprised a strain with five 1918 genes… Teasing out fragments of the virus, they painstakingly recreated the H1N1’s eight genes.

One of the three was a conventional flu strain; another was a conventional strain with two of the 1918 genes; and the third comprised a strain with five 1918 genes. Mice who had been infected with the full eight-gene 1918 recombinant virus rode the fast track to sickness and death. They outstripped the three other strains for the speed at which they fell sick, the high concentrations of virus in their blood and for their high mortality rate within five days. Within 24 hours of infection, four key foot-soldiers in the immune system went haywire, unleashing huge inflammation of the lungs, while genes that order cells to commit suicide, a process called apoptosis, were activated.
