                    [Summary] => After last fall’s anthrax attacks, talk about treating and preventing illnesses cause by bioterrorism agents took on new urgency. While vaccines to prevent diseases like anthrax or smallpox may seem like an obvious line of defense, available drugs are not currently viable options. At an Annual Session presentation on vaccines, explained that vaccines for both diseases are problematic, either because of their administration or their side effects.

                    [Summary] => Imagine vaccinating patients against heart attacks or type 1 diabetes, or presenting an antibiotic to get rid of kidney stones. Due to advances in molecular biology and imaging technology, these medical advances may not be as far-fetched as they sound. Researchers are linking chronic illnesses no one ever suspected of being infectious – such as ulcers – to microorganisms, raising new questions about diagnosis and treatment. These developments prompted, to pose an intriguing question to attendees at an Annual Session course: "Are all diseases infectious?"
