US health lobby runs NHS attack ads The US healthcare establishment has launched a series of television attack adverts using tragic stories from Britain's National health service to contest Barack Obama's plans to contain the escalating cost of treatment and make it more accessible to the poor.In the broadcasts, by Conservatives for patients' Rights (CPR), Britons complain about waiting times, restrictions to operations and access to life-saving drugs on the NHS. A top British cancer specialist, Dr Karol Sikora, dean of the University of Buckingham's medical school and former chief of the World Health Organisation's cancer programme, also appears, warning that a state-run system strips patients of control over their healthcare. 'They lose control over their own destiny in the health system,' he says in the advert.Supporters of reform have accused CPR of conducting a scaremongering campaign on behalf of the medical establishment similar to one that sank the last attempt at reform by the clinton administration 16 years ago GuardianCan Corporations Own Your DNA?

Clue against FluA goal in fighting influenza is a universal vaccine, one that works on many strains of the pathogen [see “Beating the Flu in a Single Shot”; Scientific american, June 2008]. But the virus’s outer coat, consisting mainly of proteins called hemagglutinin and neuraminidase, frequently mutate, forcing the reformulation of vaccines every season. Two studies report the discovery of human antibodies that target an area on hemagglutinin that does not change much. (In contrast, current drugs, such as Tamiflu, aim for neuraminidase.) In tests, one of the antibodies protected mice from lethal doses of avian flu (H5N1) and other strains. Large amounts were needed, however, so any human treatment could be expensive. The papers were published in the March Nature Structural and Molecular Biology and online February 26 by science Express.
