Bone-appetit for German man
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — A German who had his lower jaw cut out because of cancer has enjoyed his first meal in nine years — a bratwurst sandwich — after surgeons grew a new jaw bone in his back muscle and transplanted it to his mouth in what experts call an "ambitious"
According to this week's issue of The Lancet medical journal, the German doctors used a mesh cage, a growth chemical and the patient's own bone marrow, containing stem cells, to create a new jaw bone that fit exactly into the gap left by the cancer surgery.
Tests have not been done
yet to verify whether the bone was created by the blank-slate stem cells and it is too early to tell whether the jaw will function normally in the long term. The operation is the first published report of a whole bone being engineered and incubated inside a patient's body and transplanted.
Stem cells are the master
cells of the body that go on to become every tissue in the body. They are a hot area of research with scientists trying to find ways to prompt them to make desired tissues, and perhaps organs.
The operation was done by Dr. Patrick Warnke, a reconstructive facial surgeon at the University of Kiel in Germany.

Kansas City constructs park as memorial! to young girl
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A small park featuring a pair of white concrete benches and two newly planted trees make up a permanent memorial to an unidentified young girl found beheaded in a nearby wood more than three years ago.
Neighborhood activists, volunteers and city officials unveiled the memorial Saturday.
The park replaces an ad hoc collection of flowers, stuffed animals and other offerings left for the girl, nicknamed "Precious Doe" after her death.
That memorial was dismantled in July after neighbors said it had become run down and an eyesore.
Local television station WDAF helped persuade local businesses to donate the benches and trees while the city donated the park land.
"I would just say the words 'Precious Doe' and they would say 'Yes,'" said anchorwoman and reporter Heather Claybrook. "It's amazing how it touched everybody in this community."
Police are still investigating the girl's killing.
Lawyers attempt to lessen pharmacist's sentencing
Robert Courtney was sentenced in 2002 after pleading guilty to 20 counts of product tampering and adulterating drugs meant for chemotherapy patients. Prosecutors said the scheme, which Courtney admitted lasted almost a decade, might have affected about 98,000 prescriptions for 4,200 patients.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Attorneys for a Kansas City pharmacist in prison for diluting cancer drugs say a recent Supreme Court ruling should invalidate his 30-year sentence.
As part of a plea agreement, Courtney's lawyers approved a sentencing range of between 17 to almost 22 years in prison, but placed a cap of 30 years if the judge found reasons to go beyond that range.
But Courtney's lawyers, J.R. Hobbs and Brian Gaddy, said the U.S. Supreme Court determined in June that judges can base sentences only on factors proven beyond a reasonable doubt before a jury or admitted in a plea agreement.
U. S. District Judge Ortrie Smith went with the 30-year maximum, saying Courtney's admissions of diluting other drugs justified the penalty.
work last week, asking the Supreme Court to throw out Courtney's 30-year sentence and return the case to Kansas City federal court for resentencing.
"The judge in this case could not have imposed the upward departure solely on the facts admitted by (Courtney) at his guilty plea hearing," the lawyers wrote. "The upward departure violates the Sixth Amendment and the rule announced in (the Supreme Court's decision)."
U. S. Attorney Todd Graves said he had seen Courtney's motion but that he was "confident we're on firm footing on this appeal."
The attorneys submitted paper-
The chances for Courtney's appeal are slim. The Supreme Court accepts very few petitions every year, but the legal community's desire for the Supreme Court to clarify its sentencing ruling could make the motion more attractive.
The court has already agreed to hear two cases in October to help explain whether federal sentencing guidelines follow the Constitution
Courtney's lawyers said their client, while he admitted to diluting additional drugs, never admitted that that caused "serious bodily injury," which they said must be proven in court for the federal offense of product tampering.
