  2. Drug delays progression in myeloma, but is it worth the cost?

    Lenalidomide, sold under the tradename Revlimid, significantly improves progression-free survival in patients with myeloma, according to three clinical trials published Wednesday. All three trials were so successful that the results were unblinded early and, in two of the three trials, patients receiving the placebo were switched to the active drug. But researchers also found that the drug doubled the risk of a second, independent cancer occurring, and it is not yet clear whether the drug produces an increase in overall survival. Moreover, the drug is quite expensive, more than $163,000 for a year of treatment, and there was no data indicating whether quality of life improved enough to justify the cost.

  5. Medical Writer Annie Murphy Paul's 'Origins' Examines Everyone's First Nine Months

    My mother often said, sometimes as a point of pride, that she was plastered when she went into labor with me. At her favorite restaurant, she had had a couple too many highballs the night I wanted out. At the Catholic hospital where I was delivered, two nuns tried to assist her. Ma waved off their insistent offers, and on the final refusal she puked on them, forcing them into new habits.
