Editor's Note, Padraig O'Malley

New England Journal of Public Policy

In this issue of the New England Journal of Public Policy, we present a potpourri of articles disparate in their scope yet with oddly connecting threads. In “Redeeming the City,” Meredith Ramsay undertakes a review of an emerging urban revitalization driven not by traditional grassroots community activists but by religious groups, a phenomenon she describes as faith-based activism. In “Managing Sprawl in the Land of Unintended Consequences,” Robert Bucci concludes that given the American affinity for land, anti-sprawl policies and laws which failto take into account this unique relationship will almost certainly fall short of their goals. Matthew Reidy, in …

Rubella Vaccine And Medical Policymaking: Fetal Rights And Women's Health, Jacob Heller

New England Journal of Public Policy

U.S. vaccine policies, to all appearances, are based on assumptions about cost effectiveness, safety, and public health needs. Analysis of the peer review health professions’ discourse about rubella vaccine between 1941 and 1999 challenges this view. There were four justifications for the development of the vaccine: (1) cost-benefit projections about vaccine use versus anticipated birth defects; (2) the desire to prevent “fetal wastage” by vaccinating women; (3) a professional imperative to ensure healthy babies; and (4) a bias among vocal vaccine advocates against “unnecessary” abortion. The role of a fifth consideration, the “cultural provenance” of vaccines for American medicine, though …

Reach For Recovery, Rick Hynum

University of Mississippi News

UNIVERSITY, Miss. -- In the ongoing quest to cure cancer, medical science has some good news and some bad news. The bad news is, there will likely never be a cure. The good news is, the bad news isn't nearly as bad as it sounds: We may never cure cancer, but we're getting closer every day to taming it, which is the next best thing.

Hsv Latency-Associated Transcript And Neuronal Apoptosis, Anthony B. Nesburn, Clinton J. Jones

School of Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences: Faculty Publications

Thompson and Sawtell report that the Promega Anti-PARP p85 antibody did not recognize cleaved PARP in mouse or rabbit cells in their experiments, and conclude that the results reported with this antibody by Perng et al. (1) are an artifact. The Promega antibody was generated against a peptide based on the sequence of human p85. Although the corresponding bovine sequence differs by two amino acids, the antibody reacts with both human and bovine p85 (2). The mouse and rat sequences for this region of p85 differ from the human sequence by a single amino acid that corresponds to one of …

Catalase Evaluation In Different Human Diseases Associated With Oxidative Stress, Faizeh A. Al-Quobaili, Ghada N. Al-Akhras

Saudi Medical Journal

OBJECTIVE: Catalase is an enzyme present in most of the aerobic cells, it protects them from oxidative stress by catalyzing the rapid decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in two types of reactions depending on its peroxidatic and catalatic activities. The aim of this study was to measure the erythrocytes catalase activity by a reliable method in normal subjects with different age categories, and patients whom suffer from different diseases associated with oxidative stress (inflammatory, tumor, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, anemia and Wilson9s disease). METHODS: Erythrocytes catalase activity was measured, by peroxidatic method (Johansson-Borg method), in 210 apparently healthy subjects, (117 males …
