World AIDS Day Marks Progress Toward Prevention

Wednesday marks the 22nd annual World AIDS Day. In the past year, several scientific advances have helped rekindle convictions that progress is being made against the spread of HIV and AIDS.

Last week researchers presented findings in The New England Journal of Medicine that prophylactic antiretrovirals—along with counseling and other prevention services—reduced HIV infection rates in men who have sex with men by about 44 percent.

For women, a vaginal gel containing tenofovir cut one South African study group's risk of becoming infected by 54 percent, according to a July report in Science.

Another study, published this September in JAMA, The Journal of the American Medical Association, found that a cheaper drug regime (using neviraprine rather than protease inhibitors) kept children born to HIV-positive mothers disease free. And prophylactic antiretrovirals helped those HIV-infected mothers who breastfed their infants reduce transmission to their children to just 1.1 percent, according to a June study in The New England Journal of Medicine.

But, like the 2009 Thai trail findings that a vaccine reduced infection rates, none of these new promising prevention advances has reduced the transmission rates to the true target: zero.

Some 33.4 million people across the globe have HIV, about two thirds of whom live in Sub-Saharan Africa. A November 29 report by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) concluded that by 2020 the number of Africans with the disease will increase to 30 million—but access to sustaining antiretrovirals will not likely be able to keep pace. "Already in Uganda and a few other nations, we don't have enough health care workers or [antiretroviral therapy] to meet demands, and health centers are increasingly turning away patients who need these drugs to survive," David Serwadda, a professor at the School of Public Health at Makerere University in Kampala, Uganda, and co-chair of the IOM committee, said in a prepared statement.

In the meantime, innovative approaches are helping infected individuals that have access to antiretrovirals manage their disease. A trial published last month in The Lancet found that a simple weekly text message helped HIV-positive people keep viral levels low.

And more basic research on the disease is helping scientists understand what it does inside the body. One recent study found three ways that the infection develops in the male genital tract, and another showed how evolutionary biology could be used to trace an infection back to a source—results which have held up in U.S. federal courts.

And elevating HIV from health scourge to artistic inspiration, a clever composer has used the HIV genome—sequenced in 2009—to create a lyrical album of the retrovirus' code as transcribed into hosts' cells.

Was Tycho Brahe poisoned? 16th-century astronomer exhumed--again

There is no shortage of lore surrounding Tycho Brahe. For starters, the 16th-century Danish astronomer famously lost part of his nose at age 20 in a duel with another nobleman and thereafter wore a metal prosthesis on his face. Then, take this bizarre snippet from an eponymous 1890 biography of Brahe by J.L.E. Dreyer:

Two other inmates of Tycho's house may also be mentioned here. One was a maid of the name of Live (or Liuva) Lauridsdatter, who afterwards lived with Tycho's sister, Sophia, and later was a sort of quack-doctor at Copenhagen where she also practised astrology, &c. She died unmarried in 1693, when she is said to have reached the ripe age of 124. The other was his fool or jester, a dwarf called Jeppe or Jep, who sat at Tycho's feet when he was at table, and got a morsel now and then from his hand. He chattered incessantly and, according to [Brahe's assistant] Longomontanus, was supposed to be gifted with second-sight, and his utterances were therefore listened to with some attention.

Later in his life, as court astronomer to Emperor Rudolph II in Prague, Brahe collected some of the best observations of his day for the positions of celestial bodies in the sky, which his successor, Johannes Kepler, would later publish as The Rudolphine Tables. To top it off, Brahe died at age 54 after, as the story goes, he stayed at the table too long without relieving himself during a formal dinner, possibly bursting his bladder in the process.

That last legend may soon be challenged, as Brahe is being disinterred starting November 15 for analysis for the second time since he was buried in Prague in 1601. Testing on hair samples taken from Brahe's tomb the first time, in 1901, showed an abnormally high mercury content in the astronomer's body, raising the possibility that he had been poisoned. But Brahe may well have met his fate by less malicious means; for centuries medical practitioners applied mercury as a treatment for maladies such as syphilis. The 1890 biography of Brahe—written before the mercury test—noted that rumors of Brahe's poisoning swirled after his death. But Dreyer dismissed such "silly" talk as "scarcely worth mentioning."

The poison angle got a new look in 2004 in the book Heavenly Intrigue: Johannes Kepler, Tycho Brahe, and the Murder Behind One of History's Greatest Scientific Discoveries. Not only was Brahe poisoned, contended Joshua and Anne-Lee Gilder, but all signs point to his famed protégé, Johannes Kepler, as the culprit. (Kepler's motive would have been to get hold of Brahe's tightly kept treasure of data.) But the astronomical community hardly turned on the esteemed Kepler—in a review of the book, Marcelo Gleiser of Dartmouth College wrote that the accusation "verges on the preposterous."

http://www.gmo-compass.org/online-discourse/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=138345

The new exhumation is being led by medieval archaeologist Jens Vellev of Aarhus University in Denmark. Vellev told the Associated Press that he hoped to not only analyze Brahe's mustache and hair, but also his bones. The group aims to learn more about Brahe's health and medicinal intake and, just maybe, to find some new information about his untimely demise.

"Perhaps we will be able to come close to an answer," Vellev told the BBC, "but I don't think we will get a final answer to that question."

Tracking a rare tortoise? There's an app for that

Smartphones have increasingly become valuable tools in the conservation of rare species around the world. The latest example is an iPhone app called Mojave Desert Tortoise, which people can use to help researchers preserve the endangered species it is named after.

With the app, visitors to the Mojave Desert (which stretches between California, Nevada, Utah and Arizona) can take photos of any desert tortoises they happen to encounter. The app adds GPS data to the photo and sends it to researchers at the Mojave Desert Ecosystem Program (MDEP) and Desert Managers Group. The information will then be used to track the turtles' movements and habits. The data will also eventually be made public online.

The app also offers users information about the Mojave desert tortoise and warns users that touching the animals or otherwise disturbing them is against the law.

MDEP project manager Fon Duke told California's Daily Press that the app will save money compared with the paper surveys previously used.

The Mojave desert tortoise (Gopherus agassizii ), which is listed as "threatened" under the Endangered Species Act, has been one of the most expensive animals to protect in the U.S. According to the Associated Press, $93 million was spent on Mojave desert tortoise conservation between 1996 and 2006. The species' population has dropped 80 to 90 percent since the 1980s because of urbanization and predation by ravens and coyotes (which have increased in the region because they tend to follow humans coming to the area). They also face a new wave of respiratory diseases that were not seen in desert tortoises before 1980 and were probably brought to the area with people's pet tortoises.

In early October, more than 100 biologists and other contract workers rounded up several desert tortoises whose presence was blocking construction of a massive solar energy plant to be built in California's Ivanpah Valley. The 3,280-acre site was believed to be the home to at least 36 adult tortoises and an unknown number of hatchlings, although only a few adults were located. The captured tortoises will be held for several months until a new, predator- and disease-free habitat is located for them.

It is a coming of age story-dull, mythical, gut-wrenching.

It's a shame that admittedly concerned hypersensitivity, Boyle about audience, because this constant feeling that the movie is much more intense gets are, and it simply never happened.

Proves that Danny Boyle is one of our best work directors and James Franco of one of our best work actor is.

There?s reason never much for Aron Ralston, if root You?re, just in the hope of a happy ending.

...a technically impressive piece of work, this is not simply to consistently captivating as one might expect.

Danny Boyle dramatization of nature boy Aron Ralston has real life spoiled on the nature of the conceptual discount rate, the Director cachet to combat only, we say, a 21.00 best picture Oscar winner has deployment.

Although the text of the playwright's most influencing poems is virtually intact, Perry has unmistakably wrestled girls in the same soap opera form of his previous pics.

Looking to dramatize to the daily hardships of African-American women, by focusing on nine different black women living in Harlem, theatrics drowns in this melodrama in soap opera.

Matt Damon on trigger daughters: it's a new world

 

Matt Damon was accompanied by his beautiful and nine-month pregnant wife Luciana to the premiere of his new movie, 'Hereafter,' where he revealed to us what it was like raising young girls as well as what he thought of the skin-tight dress his wife was wearing.

"I told her it kicks ass," he told ET. "To wear a leopard dress with that belly is kind of awesome."

Damon's daughter is due early next month and the Oscar winner has nothing but great things to say about having a houseful of little ladies.

"Raising girls is amazing," he said. "It's a whole new world."

And while great, the actor admitted he still has a lot to learn.

"It was my big brother and me as kids so I understand boys," he said. "But with girls it's totally different. They're a different species all together so I'm learning."

Meanwhile, Damon stayed tight-lipped about names he and his wife are considering for baby number four.

"We've got some good finalists," he revealed. "But we don't trot them out because people come back with opinions."

'Hereafter' hits theaters October 22.

Four Lions tells the story of a group of British jihadists who push their abstract dreams of glory to the breaking point. As the wheels fly off, and their competing ideologies clash, what emerges is an emotionally engaging (and entirely plausible) farce. In a storm of razor-sharp verbal jousting and large-scale set pieces, Four Lions is a comic tour de force; it shows that-while terrorism is about ideology-it can also be about idiots. [More]

In Four Lions, five complete morons keystone kop their way toward terrorism and their 72 virgins...

A provocative gem that doesn't glorify terrorism as much as it does smart, courageous filmmaking.

Four Lions is about as funny and ferocious as films come. Never before has the phrase 'You'll laugh; you'll cry!' seemed like such a genuine, ominous threat. Chris Morris' confronting satire is not for the faint-hearted.

The murderous schemes of laughably fallible humans, the film suggests, are no less tragic for being absurd.

The film is tasteless and offensive. It will be especially offensive to jihadists. It is also very funny.

It's howlingly funny in parts; sad in others. It does get real. And, in its own way, shows the lunacy of jihad.

This one goes out to anybody who likes their comedy, dangerous, thought-provoking and, above all else, funny.

A film you expect to be funny given the comedic talent attached, but surprisingly it is also strangely moving as well.

A bitter, brilliant take on a world that is both ludicrous and nightmarish.

More than anything, the film works as a conceptual prank, a parody of the supposedly universal cliches of "humanist" cinema.

An appealing mix of witticisms, pitch-black social commentary and dimwit farce.

I think Chris Morris is a bit too clever for me. I didn't find this film funny at all, except for a couple of moments.

At its best, the film is very serious because it asks us to think about how such men are created. It's not uniformly successful, but it's far from being just silly or offensive.

Be warned: this is the blackest comedy you'll see all year. Some may find it in bad taste. Then again, if there is one thing that fanaticism hates it's the sound of laughter.

While tackling politically sensitive subject manner, this daring satire manages to offer both hilarity and poignancy.

The film has mined a treasure trove of stupidity in the Jihad as waged by men who are committee. Or rather, who should be committed, on the grounds of inanity

From the ludicrous to the tragic, Four Lions is a bit of a hit and miss affair, churning jihadism through the mincer of satire. When it scores a hit, it's very funny; when it flops, it just fizzles

One could compare this to SOUTH PARK, but at the risk of hyperbole, this may also be the War on Terror's very own DR. STRANGELOVE

At the heart of Four Lions is the idea that we should perceive fanatics as humans, rather than demons. There is much to be said for this...

Dodgy subject matter aside, Four Lions is hit and miss.
