Swine Flu Spreads Week or More After Symptoms - New studies show that many people spread swine flu for a week or more after symptoms first appear, and doctors say coughing may be a better sign than fever for telling who is contagious.
Korean Scientist Faces 4 Years Over Stem Cell Fraud - South Korean prosecutors told a Seoul court on Monday they wanted a four-year prison term for disgraced scientist Hwang Woo-suk, whose research team has been linked to major fraud in its once-celebrated stem cell studies.
The 57-year-old Hwang, touted as a global stem cell pioneer and treated as a national hero, was indicted in 2006 on charges of embezzling 2 billion won (then $2 million) of research funds from two domestic companies using fabricated reports.
Mouse Developed From Adult Skin Cells - ...The fact that iPS cells can give rise to an entirely new mouse, and one that can sire offspring, as one of the studies showed, suggests that the cells are as versatile as those from embryos, and may prove useful in generating other kinds of functioning cells that can safely treat patients with conditions such as Parkinson's, diabetes and heart disease — or even prevent these diseases altogether.
The Swine Flu Confirmed in 10,000 Americans - Cases of the new H1N1 flu virus have now been found in all 50 U.S. states and tests have confirmed the virus in more than 10,000 people across the nation, (though the actual number of cases may be 20 times that). Seventeen deaths in the United States have been definitively linked to the swine flu virus, the CDC said
AIDS Rate in Washington DC Compares to Uganda - According to a new CDC report, an entire 3 percent of the Washington DC population is HIV positive, compared to the national average of .4 percent. The 40-49 age group is hardest hit in the US capital; 1 out of 14 has the virus. The number could be higher, since many people haven't been tested. According to the report, men having sex with men is the highest cause of transmission, followed by heterosexual sex and intravenous drug use.
