Willaim,

<,A silver-coated catheter reduces the rate of urinary tract infections by as much as 58
percent, researchers said on Wednesday. >>

Interesting ... and you should also know that almost 100% of people that use urinary
catheters have infections within 30 days.

Dollar drops more than 4 yen in Tokyo on intervention

TOKYO, April 10 (Reuters) - The dollar dropped more than four yen in Tokyo trade on Friday due to aggressive dollar-selling intervention by the Bank of Japan (BOJ), bankers said.

The dollar fell toward 127.00 yen from a Tokyo high for the day of 131.55 yen, after what bankers said were persistent bouts of dollar for yen sales by the central bank from late morning.

The dollar was quoted at 128.00/10 yen at 0615 GMT, sharply down from 130.02/12 yen in late New York on Thursday.

Bankers said the BOJ's dollar sales in Tokyo were aimed at backing up its action taken in New York on Thursday.

BOJ Governor Masaru Hayami was quoted by an EPA official earlier on Friday as saying that the bank intervened in the forex market three times on Thursday in New York, buying yen for dollars.

But the sales in Tokyo were supposed to have been done secretly in order to maximise the impact on the market, bankers said.

''Today's intervention during Tokyo time was meant to be secret, unlike the one we saw in December immediately after Prime Minister (Ryutaro) Hashimoto's surprising announcement of the two trillion yen income tax cut for 1998/99,'' said one dealer.

On December 17, Japanese monetary authorities admitted they conducted dollar-selling intervention soon after the Tokyo market detected it, bankers said.

The authorities have refrained from commenting on the BOJ's apparent intervention in Tokyo on Friday.
