AIDS Drug Cocktails Prove Worth Despite High Prices
Two cost effectiveness studies in the New England Journal of Medicine find AIDS drug cocktails save about $2000 per patient yearly by preventing hospitalizations while costing about $20000 per year of extended life in the United States, making them compare favorably to cholesterol, breast cancer, and heart attack treatments. Christine Nadori of Doctors Without Borders notes potential similar gains for nations with stronger health systems.

Genetic link found in identifying off key notes
Researchers from Rockville and London studied identical and fraternal twins to test music perception. Identical twins show greater similarity in judging off key melodies, while non identical twins resemble ordinary siblings. They conclude up to 80 percent of the ability to detect off-key notes is inherited.

Space debris forces shuttle and station to dodge danger
At Cape Canaveral NASA commanded Discovery to fire thrusters to shift the joined shuttle and Space Station Alpha to a higher orbit after a 10 to 15 pound piece of debris loosened during a Sunday spacewalk by Jim Voss. The near miss comes amid ongoing orbital junk alerts as Susan Helms joined the station crew.

Direct evidence links greenhouse gases to heat trapping
Satellite readings compare 1970 and 1997 infrared data and show less heat escaping in 1997 at wavelengths absorbed by greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide methane and ozone. Imperial College researchers say this confirms rising gases are driving the greenhouse effect though impact on global temperatures remains uncertain.
