UT YNDER: Modern medicine trumps good ol’ days
San Angelo Standard Times tx
The old family doctor came to the house with his bag of medicines and it seems the cure came faster in those times. Like many others of my generation I long for the time when nature (rather than a clerk behind the cosmetic counter) painted beauty on a woman’s face hearts were joined on a picnic rather than in a bar or in a speeding automobile and when you bought a load of firewood the wagon was full and everything was “on the square. ” In the good old days a girl learned to cook by helping mother; now it seems they need to go off to some kind of boarding school and pay a huge sum of money to learn how to stir sugar and pecan kernels in a silver chafing dish while wearing kid gloves.

Both drugs are used to treat the seizures but the study seeks to determine which drug is more effective and safe by randomly assigning children to one or the other. The hospitals have spent several months obtaining families' permission in advance because the drugs must be administered within seconds of a child's arrival at a hospital and there is not time to get informed consent from parents. Lead researchers: Rachel Stanley assistant professor of emergency medicine and pediatrics UM; Prashant Mahajan vice chief of the emergency department Children's Hospital. Cancer researchResearchers at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center have identified a series of genes that become fused when their chromosomes trade places with each other. These recurrent fusions are thought to be the driving mechanism that causes certain cancers to develop.
