[Important Photographic Content Included: Seven Uniformed Policeman and
One Plain Clothes Official Shown Taking Time from Less Serious Matters to
Deal with this Jaywalking Violation]
In the UK no one would bat an eyelid. In Atlanta, you could be wrestled to
the ground. It is a cautionary tale for any traveller - distinguished
historian Felipe Fernandez-Armesto tried to cross the road while in
Atlanta for the conference of the American Historical Association, only to
find himself in handcuffs and surrounded by armed police.
"I come from a country where you can cross the road where you like," said
the visiting professor of global environmental history at Queen Mary
College, University of London. "It hadn't occurred to me that I wasn't
allowed to cross the road between the two main conference venues."
The bespectacled professor says he didn't realise the "rather intrusive
young man" shouting that he shouldn't cross there was a policeman. "I
thanked him for his advice and went on."
The officer asked for identification. The professor asked for his, after
which Officer Leonpacher told him he was under arrest and, the professor
claims, kicked his legs from under him, pinned him to the ground and
confiscated his box of peppermints.
Professor Fernandez-Armesto then spent eight hours in the cells before the
charges were dropped. He told the Times that his colleagues now regard him
as "as a combination of Rambo, because it took five cops to pin me to the
ground, and Perry Mason, because my eloquence before a judge obtained my
immediate release".
<snip>
Culture clash
Just because you can do something in the UK doesn't mean it's OK in
another country. Jaywalking is an offence in most urban areas in the
United States - although enforcement varies between states - and Canada,
and in places such as Singapore, Spain, Poland, Slovenia and Australia.

WOMEN'S RESPONSE TO ANTI-HIV THERAPY IMPROVED IF TREATMENT BEGINS SIX
MONTHS AFTER EARLIER PREVENTIVE REGIMEN
Response to Treatment Diminished If Treatment Begins Within Six Months Of
Preventive Regimen
A woman's response to HIV treatment with drug combinations that contain
nevirapine is improved if at least six months have passed after she
received the drug as a single dose during labor to prevent passing HIV on
to her child. (The response to treatment is measured by the reduction of
HIV in the blood.)
Conversely, the response to treatment with nevirapine-containing
combinations is diminished if less than six months has passed since the
preventive regimen.
These findings were reported by researchers funded in part by the National
Institutes of Health and appear in the January 11 "New England Journal of
Medicine."
Nevirapine, given once during labor, alone or in combination with a short
course of zidovudine (AZT) during pregnancy, provides an inexpensive,
effective way to reduce the chances that a pregnant woman will pass HIV on
to her child.
A single dose of nevirapine is a common preventive regimen given to
pregnant women during labor in resource-poor countries where the standard,
more expensive, multi-drug treatments are not widely available. Previous
studies have indicated, however, that the single nevirapine dose could
make the virus resistant to the drug, which may make it less likely that a
woman will respond to nevirapine if she needs it later, as part of a
multi-drug anti-HIV regimen, to safeguard her own health. The single dose
of nevirapine eliminates most of the copies of HIV that infect a patient,
except for a few mutant copies that are genetically resistant to the drug.
Researchers were concerned that as these remaining mutants multiplied,
mutant HIV would not respond to nevirapine when it was used later as part
of a multi-drug regimen to treat HIV infection.
In many resource poor countries, nevirapine is a cornerstone of the three
drug anti-retroviral therapy (ART) used to treat HIV disease in pregnant
and non-pregnant women who need therapy for their own health. Typically,
nevirapine is given in combination with AZT and lamivudine. In the United
States and other developed countries, three drug combination therapy is
also used to treat pregnant women and non-pregnant women who require
therapy for their own health. However, in developed countries, the
three-drug combinations usually include the more expensive protease
inhibitors, instead of nevirapine.
"The findings show that single dose nevirapine during labor alone -- or
with short course AZT during pregnancy -- remains a viable option in
resource-poor settings for preventing the spread of HIV from mother to
child among pregnant women who do not yet require anti-HIV treatment for
their own health," said Duane Alexander, M.D., director of the National
Institute of Child Health and Human Development. "The findings also
underscore the importance of immediately beginning a multi-drug treatment
regimen for pregnant women who require treatment for their own health, but
which does not contain nevirapine."
The study findings are consistent with World Health Organization
recommendations that all HIV-infected pregnant women be tested to identify
those in immediate need of treatment, explained the NIH project officer
for the study, Lynne Mofenson, M.D., Chief of the Pediatric, Adolescent
and Maternal AIDS Branch at NICHD.
NIH support for the study was provided by the NICHD and the John E.
Fogarty International Center for Advanced Study in the Health Sciences.
Shahin Lockman, M.D., of the Harvard School of Public Health and Brigham
and Women's Hospital, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, both in Boston
and Max Essex, D.V. M., Ph.D., Botswana-Harvard School of Public Health
Project, led the research team on the study.
To conduct the current study, the researchers followed 218 women in
Botswana, who volunteered for a prior study to test the effectiveness of
nevirapine in combination with AZT in preventing the spread of HIV from
mothers to their children. In the prior study, which enrolled 1,200 women
and infants between March 2001 and October 2003, all women received a
course of AZT from the 34th week of pregnancy to delivery. Women and
their infants were randomized during the study. Women received a single
dose of nevirapine given at the beginning of labor, or a placebo.
Infants received a single dose of nevirapine at 48 to 72 hours after
birth, or placebo.
Combination antiretroviral therapy, which included nevirapine, became
available starting in October 2002 for all study participants who required
treatment for their own health.
The current study enrolled volunteers from the earlier study who later
needed multi-drug therapy for their own health after they had given birth.
Of these volunteers, 112 women originally had been randomized to receive
single dose nevirapine and another 106 women originally had been
randomized to receive nevirapine placebo in the original study.
In the current study, 60 women required ART within six months after
receiving either single dose nevirapine or placebo during labor. Of the
women in the nevirapine group, 41.7 percent still had detectable HIV
levels in the blood after receiving six months of ART, indicating that the
ART was not effective. In the placebo group, none of the women receiving
the nevirapine placebo had detectable HIV in the blood after six months of
ART.
However, the rates of detection of HIV in the blood did not differ
significantly among the other 158 women, who started treatment at least
six months after receiving single dose nevirapine or placebo. Of these,
12 percent of the nevirapine group and 7.8 percent of the placebo group
still had detectable HIV levels after receiving six months of ART,
indicating equal effectiveness of ART in both groups.
The study authors wrote that their findings are consistent with
observations that while nevirapine-resistant strains of HIV could be
present after a single dose nevirapine regimen, these strains begin to
fade with time and eventually make up a minor proportion of HIV strains in
a patient.
The study authors concluded that nevirapine-based ART is an option for
women who require therapy six months or more after receiving a single dose
nevirapine preventive regimen. They also wrote that some women given
single dose nevirapine will require ART treatment before six months have
passed, and these women should receive ART that does not include
nevirapine.
The authors added that "every effort should be made" to provide
combination ART during pregnancy to women who need it for their own
health, as these women are at highest risk for AIDS-related complications
or death, for passing HIV on to their infants, and for developing
nevirapine resistance after a single dose of the drug.
The researchers also evaluated the response of HIV in the blood to ART in
a subgroup of infants from the prior study that had become infected
despite preventive drugs and who later required ART. The researchers were
able to follow 24 infants for six months, with 13 having received single
dose nevirapine and 11 having received placebo; one infant in the placebo
group, and 10 infants in the nevirapine group had HIV detectable in the
blood after 6 months of ART.
The study authors noted, however, that it was difficult to draw firm
conclusions from the small number of infants studied, and added that
additional information from other studies would be helpful. A randomized,
controlled clinical trial to evaluate the best treatment for infected
infants with and without single dose nevirapine exposure is currently
being conducted by the International Maternal, Pediatric, Adolescent AIDS
Clinical Trials Group, sponsored by the NIH's National Institute of
Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the NICHD.

SCIENTISTS SEQUENCE GENOME OF PARASITE RESPONSIBLE FOR COMMON SEXUALLY
TRANSMITTED INFECTION
Researchers have decoded the genetic makeup of the parasite that causes
trichomoniasis, one of the most common sexually transmitted infections
(STIs), revealing potential clues as to why the parasite has become
increasingly drug resistant and suggesting possible pathways for new
treatments, diagnostics and a potential vaccine strategy. The genome
sequencing project, funded by the National Institute of Allergy and
Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health
(NIH), is detailed in the January 12 issue of Science. "The progress
that continues to be made in deciphering the genomes of organisms, such as
the Trichomonas vaginalis parasite, helps to further our collective
scientific understanding of these organisms, so that we can better address
public health issues," says NIH Director Elias A. Zerhouni, M.D. "By
better understanding the genetic makeup of the Trichomonas vaginalis
parasite that causes trichomoniasis, we can target our efforts to
developing the most effective medicines to treat the infection and
potentially create a way to prevent infection altogether," says NIAID
Director Anthony S. Fauci, M.D. Trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted
infection that affects both men and women and results in roughly 7.4
million new cases in the United States each year, according to the U.S.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In women, trichomoniasis
infection commonly occurs in the vagina, resulting in heavy yellow-green
or gray vaginal discharge, vaginal odor, discomfort during sexual
intercourse and urination, irritation and itching of the genital area and,
in rare cases, lower abdominal pain. In men, trichomoniasis is most common
in the urethra; however, infected men often do not have symptoms. Those
that do may experience irritation inside the penis, mild discharge, or a
slight burning sensation after urination or ejaculation. Symptoms in both
men and women generally appear within five to 28 days of exposure to the
parasite. Both men and women with trichomoniasis have an increased
susceptibility to HIV infection and may transmit HIV to their sexual
partners. Pregnant women with trichomoniasis may deliver a low birthweight
(less than five pounds) or premature infant. Although the prescription
drugs metronidazole and tinidazole usually cure trichomoniasis, drug
resistance has become an increasing concern. T. vaginalis is pear-shaped
with thread-like flagella that propel its movement. Once it attaches to
cells lining the host's urinary or genital tract, it flattens out and
begins to ingest the cells, as well as white and red blood cells, causing
direct damage to the urinary and vaginal tissues and resulting in
inflammation. T. vaginalis also consumes bacteria that may be present in
the urinary and genital areas, including the bacteria necessary for
maintaining a normal healthy environment in the vagina. As a result, women
infected with trichomoniasis become more susceptible to becoming infected
by HIV and other STIs. In generating the genetic blueprint for the
parasite, researchers were surprised to find such a large and highly
repetitive genome comprising nearly 26,000 predicted genes as determined
by computer models and previously sequenced parasitic genomes. Repetitive
genes accounted for roughly 65 percent of the genome. "Parasites
generally have smaller amounts of DNA than non-parasitic organisms, but in
this case, there was ten times as much DNA than we originally thought
there would be," says lead author Jane M. Carlton, Ph.D., who led the
project while at The Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR), a
not-for-profit research organization based in Rockville, Maryland. Dr.
Carlton is now an associate professor in the Department of Medical
Parasitology at New York University's School of Medicine. Although it
is not entirely clear why the genome is so large and repetitive,
researchers theorize that the parasite evolved over time, previously
inhabiting the intestine and later moving to the urogenital tract, which
resulted in increased cell size and, subsequently, a considerably expanded
genome. The researchers also discovered more than 150 instances where
bacterial genes may have transferred into the parasite's genome,
suggesting that bacteria may have influenced the development of the
parasite's metabolism. The decoded genome also revealed 800 genes for
surface proteins that likely enable T. vaginalis to adhere to cells in the
urinary and genital tracts and cause infection. Additionally, the
researchers were able to analyze proteins thought to be linked to the
parasite's hydrogenosome--its energy source and the target of the two
drugs approved to treat trichomoniasis--and identified possible ways the
parasite may become resistant to these medications. Understanding how T.
vaginalis causes infection and developing methods to prevent it could also
help curb the transmission of other STIs often found in connection with
trichomoniasis, including chlamydia and gonorrhea, according to the
researchers. "Although trichomoniasis is very prevalent as a sexually
transmitted infection, it has not received the attention given to other
STIs," says Carlton. "Women are the population most affected by it, yet
routine gynecological check-ups do not test for this particular infection,
and it's not an STI that generally requires public health notification
under state statutes. By better understanding the parasite's genetic
structure, we hope to better understand how best to prevent and/or treat
the infection it causes." For an image of the T. vaginalis parasite, see

Why jaywalking of all possible topics. I guess you did not hear about the
professor of history and author of 19 books, a PhD from England who
committed the crime of jaywalking in Atlanta while attending a history
association convention.

The BBC Warns Readers of the Dangers of Jaywalking in Atlanta Georgia

Clearly this student database cannot be used as a current awareness
resource.
Compare to Google
Web Results 1 - 10 of about 10,100 for jaywalking and atlanta and felipe.
and Google News
Results 1 - 5 of 5 for jaywalking and atlanta and felipe.
Not to worry if the Google News count sounds low, consider the first
entry:

Now having a look at MAS Ultra - School Edition from EBSCO, a database
geared for high school libraries.
Using this search to capture the concept as one or two words, one gets
these results:
jaywalking or (jay w1 walking)
25 responding citations and still no Atlanta.
Using Academic Search Premier with the same search, the hits are up to 46
in number, but the most recent is from the middle of 2006 for jaywalking.
The advantages of searching databases from databanks like EBSCO over
general search engines of the internet include
the following.
Precisely cited records, some with full text articles accompanying the
citation and abstract.
Ability to use a multi-step search that permits use of proximity operators
to find a word within so many words of another either in the same word
order or in either word order.
Ability to combine search steps with one or more search terms and word
combinations in each with boolean operators, and or not.
Ability to send sets of documents found including full text to ones email
account in a group of documents.
Databases are controlled in that they only index a specific group of
journal or magazine titles and selected publications of other types,
unlike the internet where anything goes in terms of content on the web and
content indexed by search engines.

Unfortunately these sources are way beyond the budgets of academic
institutions, but EBSCO has a newspaper database subscribed to by many
academic and public libraries. Many academic libraries also subscribe to
such sources with major news content as Accees News, Factiva, Lexis-Nexis,
and World News Connection, amongst others. Hence the use of databases in
public libraries is widespread in the United States where states or cities
provide public libraries with access or funding to subscribe to these
tools. Now it is up to K-12 teachers to teach students how to use the
resources the can access, so when they become freshmen in college, their
idea of doing research is more sophisticated than using web searches of
Google or buying their term paper already written from a term paper mill.

The Aims and Mission of the Centre
<http://www.ucl.ac.uk/histmed/publications/medical-history/>
"The aims of the Centre shall be to research and disseminate the history
of medicine, both as an academic discipline and as a subject of broader
public interest. Its close relationship and connections with the Trust,
notably the trust's Library for the History and Understanding of
Medicine, will facilitate its commitment to promoting a vision of medical
history which is comprehensive in chronological, geographic and thematic
range, and which draws upon a wide field of scholarly expertise. While
primarily devoted to research, the Centre will also play a prime role in
outreach and in fostering public understanding of the subject, through
teaching and training, through programmes of seminars, lectures and
symposia, through publishing, broadcasting and other appropriate
activities. It will have an international profile, attracting high
calibre scholars and students from abroad, and participating in exchanges
with history of medicine institutions around the world."
