Benefits Of Continuous NSAID Use In Ankylosing Spondylitis
Featured in the June 2005 issue of Arthritis &Rheumatism, this study offers hope for decreasing the progression of AS, without increasing the risk of peptic ulcers or other adverse events. Study Shows Promise For Simplified Treatment Of HIV Infection
A preliminary study indicates that using a single boosted protease inhibitor instead of the standard regimen of 3 drugs for maintenance therapy may be an effective treatment for select patients with HIV infection, according to a study in the August 16 issue of JAMA, a theme issue on HIV/AIDS. Mayo Clinic Discovery On Nature Of Rheumatoid Arthritis Lung Disease M
A discovery by a Mayo Clinic research team may pave the way for the creation of new drugs to treat rheumatoid arthritis (RA) lung disease, which affects an estimated 500,000 patients in the United States. Currently, there are no effective treatments for RA lung disease. New Images Suggest Oceanic Crust Generated From Several Magma Sources
Some of the highest quality images ever taken of the Earth's lower crust reveal that the upper and lower crust form in two distinctly different ways. To form the images, the researchers, led by a team from Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO), analyzed sound waves bounced off structures deep in the Earth, a process similar to creating an ultrasound image. Hold the Photons!
A research breakthrough duplicates the security benefits of quantum cryptography using conventional electronics and copper wires. Making it practical is another matter. Commentary by Bruce Schneier. Buying And Selling Habitats To Help Wildlife
Tradable permits are all the rage in environmental policy. They are already used internationally to reduce carbon emissions and improve air quality. A group of economists and ecologists from the UK, the Netherlands and Germany, are working together to find out whether such schemes could work for wildlife too. So far, it looks promising, but probably only for cultural landscapes like farmland. File-Swap Services Can Be Sued
The Supreme Court, reversing lower court decisions, rules that file-sharing services bear the responsibility for customers who use the software to illegally swap music and movies. Stem Cell Treatment Improves Mobility After Spinal Cord Injury

Survivor's creator hopes to shake things up with a new reality show this fall. He targets what he calls the "new prime time" -- 9 to 5, when cubicle monkeys troll the web on work breaks. Commentary by Clive Thompson. Why Do So Many Species Live In Tropical Forests And Coral Reefs?
There is a new development in a major debate over a controversial hypothesis of biodiversity and species abundance. Ecologists are reporting good agreement between the species richness of two of the most vulnerable ecosystems -- tropical forests and coral reefs -- and a simple mathematical model building on the "neutral theory of biodiversity."The research could aid the effort to protect terrestrial biodiversity from climate change and urban development.
