DVT Risk From Air Travel Unrelated To Reduced Air Pressure In Cabin (p 2207)
Results of a study published as a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that reduced air pressure (leading to decreased oxygen availability) in pressurised aircraft cabins is not associated with increased activity of the agents responsible for blood clotting and potential deep-vein thrombosis (DVT). The risk of venous... view more... (2003-06-25)

Inflammatory genes linked to salt-sensitive hypertension
One key to your high blood pressure might just be your inflammatory genes. It may sound odd but mounting evidence suggests that inflammation, a part of the immune response implicated in diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer's and diabetes, may also help translate stress into high blood pressure. view more (2006-12-28)
