Here is some information about chronic myeloid leukemia: • Also known as CML, it is a slow progressing cancer found in the blood and bone marrow • It results in the overgrowth of immature, malfunctioning white blood cells • A major cause of CML is believed to be a genetic mutation that results in the development of an abnormal chromosome called BCR-ABL Researchers from the University of Turin treated nearly 850 patients suffering from CML with either a low dose or a high dose of a new drug known as nilotinib or with Gleevec. The patients were followed up for a year. At the end of the follow-up period, more than twice as many of the patients on nilotinib as on Gleevec experienced a major molecular response to their treatment, meaning the products of BCR-ABL were nearly undetectable in the blood. Similarly, more patients taking nilotinib than Gleevec had a complete cytogenic response, meaning cells containing the BCR-ABL mutation could not be detected in the blood or bone marrow. Those taking nilotinib were also less likely to experience a progression of their disease. We spoke with Dr. Giuseppe Saglio, one of the investigators of this study, who offered some further insight. Today's research suggests that a new, more powerful <b>...</b>

"Blackout" was conceived as supplementary to Sound Mirror images by photographer Julian Hills (taken in January 1996) which appear on the sleeve of the Disinformation "Antiphony" double remix CD, published by the record company Ash International in 1997 [1] [2]. Barry Hale's Sound Mirror video has been shown at NTT ICC (Tokyo), The Royal College of Art (London), Galerie fur Zeitgenossische Kunst (Leipzig), The Art House (London), Schirn Kunsthalle (Frankfurt), The Dom (Moscow), and exhibited at The ICA (London), CCCB (Barcelona), The Mac (Birmingham), Now 1999 (Nottingham), Waygood Gallery (Newcastle), Quay Arts (Isle of Wight), Wrexham Arts Centre, South Hill Park (Bracknell), Saltburn Artists Projects, Q Gallery (Derby), Study Gallery of Modern Art (Poole), Event Gallery (London), Ginza Art Lab (Tokyo) and The Latvian National Museum of Art.
