The first vaccine was given twice in two months to a group of volunteers. The second followed some months later. As measured in lab tests, the combination appears to stimulate the immune system to fight HIV infection better than if either were used by itself. The way we live has been dramatically affected in recent times through the use of technology and advances in medicine.

Stroke raises patient suicide risks, researchers report.
Government and academic researchers in Odense, Denmark examined suicide rates among 37,869 stroke survivors admitted to hospitals in one Danish county between 1973 and 1989. The Odense study found that suicide risks were highest among those stroke survivors under the age of 60. The Danish researchers believe their findings underline the need for health care professionals to address the psychological, as well as physical, aftermath of stroke. The bird droppings contained a yeast-like fungus called Cryptococcus neoformans, which can cause infections of the brain and central nervous system, skin, bones and urinary tract in humans. In the case reported in Saturday's issue of The Lancet, the organism caused an abscess in the elderly man's thigh bone.
