Hearing way too much from customers at the Lancome counter
We've all encountered an audience whore. You know exactly who I mean: the same insatiable, bleached-out single mom who haunts the aisles of every corner store, hanging on any opportunity to spill her guts to some unsuspecting passerby. You can find her in long lines at the grocery store or at your local PTO meeting amid a conglomeration of her cultish peers.
In my case, those audience whores tend to find me while I'm on the job. They're an inevitable blip on the screen, something you dodge around corners to escape but collide with twice as hard as a result. I would never doubt that the earth trembles with every movement of the past, but if you were to imagine humanity as this skin under which a myriad of stories lies latent, these people would be the acne -- oozing, inflamed with their own legends.
Researchers raise questions about drug being studied as possible MS treatment
TORONTO - A group of American scientists has warned other researchers that an acne drug being tested as a possible treatment for a variety of neurodegenerative diseases - including in Canada for multiple sclerosis - may actually cause harm. The scientists reported that in a clinical trial of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or Lou Gehrig's disease, those who received the drug minocycline declined more rapidly than those who received a placebo. Their report, published Thursday in the journal Lancet Neurology, comes just a week after the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada announced it was funding a multi-centre Phase 3 trial to look at whether the inexpensive and off-patent minocycline can slow the progression of MS when treatment is commenced in the earliest stages of the disease.
