Contact Lenses That Germs Can't Adhere To? Scientists Breed Designer Molecular Furs On Surfaces

Proteins play a decisive role in both the tolerability of contact lenses and the adherence of mussels to the hulls of ships. They develop a biofilm during their initial contact with the foreign material. A new designer surface is completely resistant to the adsorption of proteins.

	In a multicenter study, catheter ablation has been shown in a randomized clinical trial to significantly outperform anti-arrhythmic drug (AAD) therapy for the treatment of symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation, or AFib as it is more commonly referred to, is the most prevalent cardiac arrhythmia (heart rhythm disorder) and one of the most common causes of stroke.

•	Are How-To articles patent infringement?
	Last winter I wrote an article about how to build your own rink rake (a handheld PVC tool to disperse water on your backyard ice rink - a poor man's Zamboni :) using $15 of parts from Lowes. Yesterday I received an email telling me that RinkRake is trademarked and I am violating both his TM and patent. I agreed to remove the phrase "rink rake" from my article, but I don't see how posting plans to build something yourself would infringe the patent. Any thoughts on this?

	"Arid aquaculture:" Using ponds filled with salty, undrinkable water for fish production is one of several options proven effective as an alternative livelihood in parts of the world's expanding drylands. Researchers say alternatives to traditional crop farming and livestock rearing need to be put in place in drylands to mitigate human causes of desertification.
