How to help patients make wiser l;te8Ith ·choices BY l.AuRAN NEERGAARD U lll\.e8 I """' American Cancer Society for advice. For the less savvy, some medical groups .are developing what they call decision aids, plain-English guides that give equal voice to the advantages and disadvantages of options and include real patients explainc ing why they chose differently. They can be videos or pamphlets, but the goal is for patients to get the guides even before doctor appointments so they come armed with better questions. · Consider that PSA blood test. Most men over 50 have had one ·even though it's hugely controversial. Why? Most men who undergo a biopsy for an abnormal PSA test don't tum out to have prostate cancer at all. Of those who do, there's no proof yet that the early detection saves live5. But finding an early prostate cancer forces a decision about trying surgery or radiation treatments that can cause incontinence and impotence - known harm for unknown benefit. In fact, health guidelines issues last year concluded men over age 75 shouldn't get a PSA test while younger men should make an· individual choice after hearing the pros and cons. But getting upfront objective information is rare , Dr. Michael Barry of Massachusetts General Hospital told a meeting of the nonprofit Foundation for Informed Medical Decision Making last week . where health workers gathered to debate . how to spread "informed choice." . In a decision-aid video the foundation sponsored about· PSA testing. one doctor says, "Is this a slippery slope that I really want to get on?" He decided not to have his own PSA level checked. "It's a good way to diag- nose a potentially fatal condition,' says another physician on the video who did get tested. AI Dartmouth, every woman diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer now sees a similar ~isionaid video before meeting a su~eon .

Patient choice is only one part of good health care; a separate problem is how often doctors fail to offer proven care. such as medtcations that improve survival after a heart attack. But many other scenarios - back surgery. khee and hip replacement. enlarged prostates, especially end-oflife care - have no one-sizefits-all guidelines, and Dartmouth research suggests where patients live often is the biggest determinant of what they get.

Twenty-two mummies were found in niches along the tomb's walls, he said. Eight sarcophagi were also found in the tomb. Archaeologists so far have opened only one of the sarcophagi - and found a mummy inside .of it, said Haw ass' assistant Abdel Hakim Karar. Mummies are believed to be inside the . other seven, he said. The "storeroom for mummies" dates back to 640 B.C. during the 26th Dynasty, which was Egypt's last independent kingdom before it was overthrown by a succession of foreign conquerors beginning with the Persians , Hawass said. But the tomb was discovered ·at an even older site · in Saqqara that dates back to the 4,300-year-old 6th Dynasty, he said. · Most of the mummies are poorly preserved, and archeologrsts have yet to determine their idenuties or why so many were put in one room.

"This one . might have been an important figure. but I can't tell because there was no title," Karar said. Karar also said it was unusual for mummies of this· late penod to be stored in rocky niches. , "Niches were known in the very early dynasties, so to find one for the 26th Dynasty is something rare," he said.

A stalker at best, and maybe a bur!llar. too. "The truth wtil set you free:· Rodriguez told ESPN's Peter Gammons. "I'm just proud I'm here sharing my story." And to think, Rodriguez almost didn't gel the chance. If not for SI's Selena Roberts and her colleagues, he would still be on vacation, unable to unJoad his tortured lhoughts to baseball fans everywhere. He must have been ecstatic when they nailed htm because the truth really can set you free. Sure, A-Rod's admission lhat he dtd sterotds for three seasons begmning in 200 I was more than we've ever gotten from Barry Bonds. Mark McGwire. Roger Clemens or even Jason 6iambi. He deserves credit for coming clean about using steroids during a time he hit I56 home runs and had 395 RBI. But remember that he lied about it m the past and never would have admitted usmg anything stron~er than coffee if Sl hadn t come looking. His only options lhen were to deny everything - a strategy that hasn't worked well for Bonds and Clemens - or throw himself on the mercy of fans who want des, perately to forget. Rodriguez chose to play the sympathy card, and he's likely to get some. He used lhe words "sorry," "stuptd" and "naive" so many times some fans might actually be moved enough to overlook his arrogance and his big, fat paycheck. Indeed, Gammons played Pitt fromPageBl Lomsville and Villanova, but Blair's foul woes proved insignificant in a fourth consecutive home wm over West Virginia. "That was one of our goals to get him and Young in foul trouble, that's what happened in their losses, Blair's gotten in foul tt<mble ," Ruoff said. "We did that, but we dido 't do a good job of taking advantage of it. plus me and Da'Sean did a terrible job of gettlng in foul trouble ,ourselves." The 6-foot-7 Blair was commg off a 32-point, t·4rebound game against DePaul on Saturday and was averaging 24.3 points and 14.7 rebounds in his previOUS three, but didn't score until gettmg Pitt's first two baskets of the second half. He finished with eight pmnts and nine rebounds in 16 minutes. Pittsburgh, known for its defense apd not tts offense, scored 90 points or more in succession against DePaul, Rio fromPageBl R1o also SO percent (30of-60) from the field and 44.4 percent (8-of-18) from three-point land. Rto and MVNU split the season series with each team winning on its' home court. Rio's win over the ' Cougars m November was a non-conference win . Rio has now lost four of 1ts' last five games and .wtll venture out of conference on Tuesday for an exh1b1· tion ~arne versus NCAA DIVIsiOn Marshall at the Cam Henderson Center. Ttp-off is set for 7 p.m. Rio is 0-11 all-time versus Marshall and lost last year to the Thundermg Herd, 8751 REDSTORM WOMEN LOSE AT MVNU MOUNT VERNON It's not how long in the game that you hold a lead, tt's when The University of Rio Grande RedStorm women's basketball team led for "41 of the 45 mmutes but when the dust settled Mount Vernon Nazarene came out on top by a score of 87 -83 m overtime on Saturday mght the P E. Center. Rio Grande ( 16-9, 6-4 AMC) came out on fire surging to a 9-0 lead. Rio would push the lead to Il-l before Mount Vernon Nazarene (17-7 , 4-6 AMC) settled in and . battled back to lie the game at 17-17 and 23-23. The RedStorm would go on a 7-0 run to regam control of the game at 30-23 . The lead would climb to nine points (35-26) at the I: 15 mark of the ftrst half Rio led 35-31 at the half. The second half was more of the same. Rto would forge out to a 6 to 8 pmnt lead and MVNU would claw back Rio's lead 5043 with a little more than 13 minutes to play. MVNU came back to wtthin one point On three OCCUSIOnS at 55-54, 57-56 and 62-61 . Mount Vernon took the lead at 70-69, for the hrst t1me at the I :24 mark. The score was tied at 73-73 at the end of regulation The Lady Cougars were able to get the lead in overlime and held to knock off Rio Grande , 87-83. Rio placed SIX players in double ftgures, led by sophomore guard Kaylee Helton w1th 16 pomts off the bench. Jenna Sm1th was next with 14 points. She also pulled down six rebounds and handed out five assists. Sophomore wing Leah Kendro added 13 pomts Ruoff made one of the two free throws but West Virgima couldn't score on the ensuing possession after the technical and Fie Ids came back with a left-handed layoff and two free throws the next two times Pttt had the ball. "Levance controlled the game with h1s penetration," Di)(on said. Blair's technical, and his foul problems, could have hurt Pin in a closer game. "Obviously. we expect a lot from DeJuan, but Sam stepped up hts scoring." Fields said. "We defimtely didn't want to lose htm (Blair). But I don't think you have to worry about him losing his head a lot. I don't expect him to do it agam." Dixon wasn't pleased with Blair 's techmcal but dtdn 't cnllctze him, saying, "Obviously, that's one of those thmgs you don't want to have happen and he's got to learn from 11." Pitt, 15-0 at home this season. swept the basketball version of the , Backyard Brawl for the second time in three seasons despite making only 4 of 13 from 3;point range while seniors Sarah Drabmski and Enn Kume tossed m II pomts each. Kume led the team in rebounds wtth nine whtle Drabinsk1 pulled down eight Freshman center Ashley Saunders chtpped m 10 points and pulled down five rebounds Mount Vernon Nazarene was led Rachel Fiely with 24 points, including af! 11of- 13 performance from the free throw ltne . Amanda Himes added 14 points and totaled 20 rebounds (I 0 offenstve. 10 defenstve). Alexis Harkms scored 14 points and pulled down six rebounds Oftenstve reboundmg was the key in the game as MVNU had 22 offensive rebounds to on! y seven for the RedStorm.
