Study simulating aircraft conditions suggests increased risk of venous thrombosis (p 1657)
Two weeks after a study published in THE LANCET concluded that there was no increased risk of venous thrombosis from air travel (Kraaijenhagen RA, Haverkamp D. Travel and risk of venous thrombosis. Lancet 2000; 356: 1492-93), a research letter published in this week’s issue of THE LANCET suggests an increased risk of venous thrombosis in a... view more... (2000-11-08)

Larger blood reserves needed for ageing population
Larger reserves of blood will be needed as the population ages, predict researchers in this week's BMJ. They recorded the use of nearly 10,000 units of red blood cells from all NHS hospital blood banks in the north of England. More than half (52%) of all units were given to medical patients, 41% to surgical patients, and 6% to obstetric and... view more... (2002-10-09)
Bariatric surgery linked to reduced blood pressure at 18 months after surgery
The prevalence of hypertension (high blood pressure) appears to decline and remain low after bariatric surgery, and blood pressure drops the most among patients who had untreated hypertension before the procedure, according to a study in the March issue of Archives of Surgery, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2006-03-21)
Study Examines Ethnic Differences in Sleep Quality and Blood Pressure
n the United States, African Americans have higher blood pressure and are at greater risk of hypertension than whites. In addition, African Americans report poorer sleep quality and exhibit a smaller nighttime decrease in blood pressure than whites, a phenomenon called blood pressure "dipping." view more (2007-10-30)
New treatment for severe malaria
The most dangerous form of malaria is difficult to treat and claims two million lives a year. Now, researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have developed a powerful new weapon against the disease. view more (2006-10-02)
Child-proof: Brain mapping safer for children than previously thought, Hopkins study shows
Dispelling a stubborn myth, researchers at Johns Hopkins have shown that children with strokes, brain tumors and other cerebrovascular diseases can safely undergo a potentially life-saving brain-mapping test that many doctors have long shunned over concerns for side effects. view more (2006-10-09)
Pregnancy complications are a stress test for future maternal health and pregnancies
Predicting whether pregnancy complications affect long-term maternal health as well as future pregnancies is at the heart of two studies conducted by researchers in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences at Yale School of Medicine. view more (2009-07-20)
FURTHER STEPS TOWARDS A VACCINE AGAINST HIV
For white blood cells in the human body to be infected by the HIV virus, proteins in the virus must be allowed to interact with a number of different components on the surface of the white blood cell. Ideally anti-HIV preventive therapy or vaccines would prevent several of these interactions taking place and would, therefore, reduce the likelihood... view more... (1999-03-11)
Diesel exhaust associated with higher heart attack, stroke risk in men
Increased roadway pollution produced by diesel fuel in vehicles is leading to a cascade of conditions that could result in heart attack or stroke. view more (2007-11-06)
How Much Hypertension Can Be Affected By Daytime Stress?
A group of Italian investigators led by Drs Francesco Fallo (Department of Medical and Surgical Sciences, University of Padova) and Dr Nicoletta Sonino (Department of Mental Health, Padova) explores a neglected issue: the relationship between daytime stress and the physiological lowering of blood pressure which should occur during sleep (dipping).... view more...

New Technique For Measuring Blood Flow To Brain In Babies (p 1749)
Authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET describe how an ultrasound technique can be used as a non-invasive way of measuring blood flow to the brain in babies, which may be of benefit to infants with brain disorders arising from restrictions in cerebral blood flow. Changes in the rate of blood flow to the brain in premature... view more... (2002-11-27)
Damaged veins heal faster with heparin treatment, laboratory study finds
A commonly used medication that prevents blood clots from forming may also prevent existing clots from damaging delicate vein walls - and may accelerate healing in a clot-damaged area of vein wall, according to new research from the University of Michigan Cardiovascular Center. view more (2008-03-14)
Phenolic compounds may explain Mediterranean diet benefits
Phenolic compounds in olive oil, which have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-clotting properties, may explain cardiovascular health benefits associated with the so-called Mediterranean Diet. view more (2005-11-09)
