International HIV/AIDS trial finds continuous antiretroviral therapy superior to episodic therapy
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), today announced that enrollment into a large international HIV/AIDS trial comparing continuous antiretroviral therapy with episodic drug treatment guided by levels of CD4+ cells has been stopped. Enrollment was stopped because those patients receiving episodic therapy had twice the...DNA Engine Opticon Continuous Fluorescence Detection System from Bio-Rad

So, tell me, why are your projects still late, costing too much and not deliv...Increased Transfer Efficiency Using a Discontinuous Buffer System With the Trans-Blot SD Cell
Semi-dry transfer has traditionally been a fast but inefficient method for transferring all the protein from a gel. By using a discontinuous buffer system, transfer efficiency can be greatly increased. In protein blotting, the buffer has an important effect on the elution of the proteins from a gel...Part 6 Project Performance Get on the path to continuous improvement
So how many boards can you break with one whack? Or, a better question might be, how many projects can you juggle at one time? Even more important what projects are on your plate? Are they the ones that will best improve your organizations position in the marketplace? If not, read on, 6 Sigma might be for you! 6 Sigma (6σ) is a p...New Guideline for the Diagnostic Assessment of Children with Continuous Seizures
A new guideline developed by the American Academy of Neurology and the Child Neurology Society aims to help physicians diagnose// the causes of status epilepticus, a state of continuous seizures, in children, many of whom have epilepsy. The guideline is published in the November 14, 2006, issue of Neurology, the scientific journal of the American Academy of Neurology. Status epileptic...New Pediatric Continuous Glucose Monitors Approved
