An observational European study shows that corticosteroids increased risk for pneumonia and conferred no mortality benefit in patients with severe H1N1 infection. Use of corticosteroids to mitigate the cytokine storm that might contribute to poor outcomes in otherwise healthy people with pandemic H1N1 influenza infection is controversial, even in those with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

Twenty-four men sniffed fresh tears and trickled saline, and reported that the compounds did not differ in intensity, pleasantness, and familiarity. Then, a pad with one compound was pasted onto the upper lip of each participant. The men rated responses to emotionally ambiguous pictures of wom...
