The right tools can save lives

Article Abstract:

Millions of people in developing countries die each year from treatable and preventable diseases like AIDS, tuberculosis (TB) and malaria which could be avoided with effective diagnosis paired with treatment. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in partnership with the RAND Corporation has convened the Global Health Diagnostics Forum during the period 2004-2006, to focus and provide guidelines to tackle disease groups that have the highest health tolls in the developing world.

Sea-lion studies come to a halt after court judgment

Article Abstract:

Sea-lion studies came to a halt after a United States federal court shut down a research program on the endangered Steller sea lion, ruling that studies, including the branding of pups, were inadequately monitored and could harm the animals. Federal records that emerged during the lawsuit show that at least eight pups died after a branding expedition in 2001, which exceeds the allowed five accidental deaths.
