Vaccine Protects Against 3 of 4 Dengue Virus
Strains
An experimental vaccine against dengue protected children against three
of the four strains of the mosquito-borne virus, according to drug maker
Sanofi.
The trial of 4,000 children in Thailand found that the vaccine
generated antibody responses against all four strains of dengue, but only
protected against three. Sanofi said the data is being analyzed in an
effort to understand the discrepancy, Bloomberg News reported.
There is no specific treatment for dengue and these test results
“represent a key milestone” in efforts to prevent the disease, according
to a Sanofi official.
Dengue affects as many as 100 million people worldwide each year. The
worst form of the disease can cause severe flu-like symptoms and fatal
bleeding. Dengue is common in more than 100 countries and has started to
appear in the continental U.S., Bloomberg reported.

Health Care Law Repeal Would Increase U.S.
Deficit: Analysis
Repealing the U.S. health care law would boost the federal deficit by
$109 billion over 10 years, according to an analysis by the non-partisan
Congressional Budget Office.
The repeal of several tax increases within the health care law would be
the primary reason for the deficit increase between 2013 and 2022,
concluded the CBO assessment of the health care repeal bill passed by the
House of Representatives earlier this month, ABC News reported.
The repeal bill, which is not expected to become law under the current
Congress, would reduce federal spending by $890 billion over the 10 years,
but would also cut more than $1 trillion in new taxes.
The health care law was passed in 2010 and upheld by the Supreme Court
in June.

Man Believed Cured of AIDS Says He’s Still
HIV-Free
Reports that he still has the HIV virus are false, says a man believed
to be the first person to have been cured of AIDS.
At a news conference Tuesday, Timothy Ray Brown said doctors have told
him he’s “cured of AIDS and will remain cured,” CBS News/The Associated
Press reported.
Brown had both HIV and leukemia when he received a blood stem cell
transplant in 2007 in Berlin, Germany. The stem cells came from a donor
with a rare genetic mutation that provides natural resistance to HIV. Soon
after the blood stem cell transplant, Brown’s doctors declared him
HIV-free.
However, researchers recently found traces of HIV in Brown’s tissues.
At the news conference, Brown said any remnants of the virus still in his
body are dead and can’t replicate, CBS News/AP reported.
Brown made his comments Tuesday at the International AIDS conference in
Washington, D.C.

Springsteen Reveals Long Struggle With
Depression
Bruce Springsteen has fought a long battle with depression, the
musician says in an interview with The New Yorker magazine.
Springsteen, 62, said he’s been in therapy since 1982 when depression
made him suicidal just as he was on the verge of superstardom, the New
York Daily News reported.
However, Springsteen also said his internal demons have actually helped
drive his legendary live performances, which are a product of “pure fear
and self-loathing and self-hatred.”
“You think, I don’t like anything I’m seeing, I don’t like anything I’m
doing, but I need to change myself, I need to transform myself. I do not
know a single artist who does not run on that fuel,” the New Jersey native
told The New Yorker, the Daily News reported.

More Than 220,000 Peg Perego Strollers
Recalled
About 223,000 Peg Perego strollers are being recalled due to the risk
that babies could become trapped and strangle, the U.S. Consumer Product
Safety Commission said.
Infants who are not harnessed in the stroller can pass through the
opening between the stroller tray and seat bottom, but their head and neck
can become trapped by the tray, putting them at risk for
strangulation.
In 2004, a 6-month-old boy from California died of strangulation after
his head was trapped between the seat and tray of his stroller. In 2006, a
7-month-old girl from New York City nearly strangled when the same thing
happened to her, the CPSC said.
The recall involves two different older versions of the Peg Perego
strollers, Venezia and Pliko-P3, which were sold nationwide between
January 2004 and September 2010. Consumers with the recalled strollers
should stop using them immediately and contact Peg Perego USA Inc. for a
free repair kit.
For more information, contact Peg Perego at 1-888-734-6020 or go to the
company’s website.
