Current Dodgers could use spirit of '55 The Dodgers may play lousy baseball and have a clubhouse atmosphere that rivals that in the HBO series "Oz,' but they do have exquisite timing. There's really no better way to illustrate the way the franchise was and the way it is than the juxtaposition of Sunday's 50th anniversary celebration of the 1955 World Champion Brooklyn Dodgers with the embarrassing Milton Bradley-Jeff Kent saga.
WASHINGTON -- Cancer patients will soon be able to use a medication patch to ease the debilitating nausea that often accompanies chemotherapy. The Food and Drug Administration said Monday it has approved the first anti-nausea patch for chemotherapy patients, intended to provide relief for up to five days. The patch, called Sancuso, is worn on the arm and delivers a widely used anti-nausea medicine, known as granisetron, through the skin. It is expected to be available by the end of the year.
