Scientists Identify Immune System Trigger For Fighting Lyme Disease
Researchers at the La Jolla Institute for Allergy &Immunology (LIAI) has announced an important finding on Lyme disease that could eventually lead to the development of a new vaccine to prevent this tick-borne disorder. Lyme disease is transmitted to humans by the bite of infected ticks. Typical symptoms include fever, headache, fatigue and sometimes skin rashes. If left untreated, it can spread to the joints, the heart and the nervous system and can lead to serious health problems. Saturn's Rings May Be As Old As Solar System

FORT MITCHELL, Ky. - A pregnant woman who killed her attacker said a maternal instinct helped her fight off the woman who investigators believe was after her unborn child."I do believe that I fought harder because it was for my child,"Sarah Brady told ABC's "Good Morning America"in interviews aired Sunday and Monday. "It is a maternal instinct to protect your child to the very end."Katherine Smith, 22, died Thursday after luring Brady to her apartment to pick up a package supposedly delivered to the wrong address.

Brady, 26, said she didn't know Smith before the two met at Smith's apartment and can't be certain why Smith wanted to kill her."I really am not sure what was going through her mind,"Brady told ABC. "The only thing I thought was that she was going to kill me and my child and that is the only thing that ran through my mind." Cause Of Visual Problems Among Children Of Hypothyroid Mothers Found

New Information On Geological And Volcanic Activity On The Moon

Personal Chaos In HIV Patients'Lives May Be A Barrier To Regular Medic
Unstable and unpredictable lifestyles are significant factors in determining access to health care among low-income, HIV-positive people, a new study has found. The study found that when HIV patients lead chaotic lives -- meaning they are disorganized or experience too many unexpected events -- that chaos can act as a barrier to regular medical care. The researchers also developed a new scale to gauge the level of chaos in an adult's life. HIV death sentence
