Obama Urges Groups To Stop Attacks
"President Obama, strategizing... with congressional leaders about health-care reform, complained that liberal advocacy groups ought to drop their attacks on Democratic lawmakers and devote their energy to promoting passage of comprehensive legislation," The Washington Post reports. "In a pre-holiday call with half a dozen top House and Senate Democrats, Obama expressed his concern over advertisements and online campaigns targeting moderate Democrats, whom they criticize for not being fully devoted to "true" health-care reform." In the call, "Obama said he is hoping left-leaning organizations that worked on his behalf in the presidential campaign will now rally support for "advancing legislation" that fulfills his goal of expanding coverage, controlling rising costs and modernizing the health system."

Finding Related To SIV In Monkeys Could Shed Light On HIV In Humans, Researchers Say

Researchers "believe they have found a "missing link" in the evolution of the virus that causes AIDS," based on findings from a study - published in the journal Nature - that examines simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) in monkeys, the AP/Boston Globe reports (Borenstein, 7/23). The results of the study "contradict previous evidence suggesting that chimpanzees were immune from AIDS and that SIV infections in the species were harmless," according to the AP/Chicago Tribune (Mullen, 7/23). Researcher Beatrice Hahn of the University of Alabama at Birmingham said, "Our findings allow us to look at HIV from a new angle, comparing and contrasting chimpanzee and human infections." In addition, "She said that comparisons of the viruses that cause AIDS in chimpanzees and humans could lead to new insights into the responses of the immune systems in both species," the Times reports (Altman, New York Times, 7/22).
