According to psychologist Saul M. Kassin, modern interrogation techniques can elicit false confessions, compromising the justice system. Laboratory experiments demonstrate that innocent people can adopt false beliefs and confabulate details under suggestion.
Researchers found that HIV-infected immune cells take in more vitamin C and glucose than healthy counterparts, but extremely high levels are toxic. This study provides a foundation to understand the relationship between vitamin C, HIV infection, and cell metabolism.
The USGS is reporting record-high floods in several states, including West Virginia, Kentucky, and Ohio. The Little Kanawha River in West Virginia peaked at a historic 57,200 cfs, while the Ohio Brush Creek reached an 71-year high of 80,000 cfs.
Researchers have discovered that different strains of HIV may exploit distinct immune cells through chemokine coreceptors, potentially explaining the sudden collapse of the immune system in full-blown AIDS patients. The findings could lead to new treatments by targeting these receptors.
Researchers found that people over 85 with severe, sudden disabilities received less intensive hospital care than younger counterparts. This suggests that age-based treatment decisions may be incorrect, and that treating aggressively at the right time could reduce disability.
