Doctors clash as antibiotics enter cold pills fight
The FDA faces a rift with medical faculty and industry over using antibiotics in cold medicines. Six leading doctors urged against combining antibiotics like penicillin and sulfa drugs with antihistamines and decongestants in cold pills, prompting the FDA to remove such drugs from about 30 brands. AMA stance is mixed, supporting doctors' rights to disregard guidance.

Small man in science is lauded
Washington protest hearing highlights support for basic research over flashy big science. Dr Frederick Seitz, president of the National Academy of Sciences, tells House subcommittee that only 5 to 10 percent of the $15 billion government science budget funds true basic research. He argues small labs with modest equipment drive essential discoveries while large facilities serve broader, long term aims. Space and big projects receive justification alongside basic science to ensure national scientific capacity remains strong.

Scientists seek magnetic shield to deflect space radiation
Scientists plan a superconducting magnet shield to wrap around a space vehicle to repel high energy particles from solar flares and cosmic rays. Led by AVCO's Dr. Kantrowitz, the effort aims to create a power free shield at 450 degrees Fahrenheit to protect astronauts on long voyages, including Moon missions, by channeling radiation away.

Magnetic shielding for lunar and planetary missions
The article discusses radiation dangers on space trips and two mitigation methods. It highlights shielding with hydrogen or carbon and emphasizes the potential of artificial magnetic fields using superconducting magnets. Heat dissipation and power needs are challenges, but superconductors offer strong fields with minimal power, aiding long duration spaceflight toward the Moon and planets.
Three Nobel Winners Change Medical History
Three scientists awarded the Nobel Prize for medicine reveal how electrical signals traverse the body’s nerve network. The article traces the legacy from Galvani to Hodgkin and Huxley, noting the nerve membrane, ion pumps, and myelin as keys to thought, movement, and sensation, and underscoring the profound impact on understanding the brain and nervous system.
