252001-1 Using a unitary extension of chiral perturbation theory with a lowest-order s-wave SU(3) chiral Lagrangian we study low-energy meson-baryon scattering in the strangeness S 2 sector. A scattering-matrix pole is found around 1605 MeV which corresponds to an s-wave resonance with JP 1=2 . We identify this resonance with the 1620 state, quoted by the Particle Data Group with I 1=2 but with...

In this area, there was a large group of well women aged over 35 years eager for breast screening. For this survey using clinical examination, thermography, and mammography, we selected women considered to be at higher than average risk of breast cancer. Initially, unselected women were seen, by appointment, for clinical examination and thermography (see pp. 1664-1670, this issue). From that gr...

HIV strains are unable to enter macrophages that carry the CCR5-Delta32 deletion; the average frequency of this allele is 10% in European populations. A mathematical model based on the changing demography of Europe from 1000 to 1800 AD demonstrates how plague epidemics, 1347 to 1670, could have provided the selection pressure that raised the frequency of the mutation to the level seen today. It...

We assessed the impact on measured burden and outcomes of the revised World Health Organization and Malawi guidelines reclassifying people with single (including 'scanty') positive smears as smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis cases. In a retrospective cohort in rural Malawi, 567 (34%) of 1670 smear-positive episodes were based on single positive smears (including 176 with scanty smears). Mor...
