Novel findings about neovessel formation
The main role in new findings about neovessel formation is played by a protein called tissue factor. This factor turns out to have both a stimulatory function and an inhibitory function in the generation of blood vessels. Normally these two functions neutralize each other, but in diseases like retinopathy - where unwanted blood vessels grow into... view more... (2004-05-10)
You are less likely to survive a heart attack in winter than in summer
Almost 11,000 people who had suffered a heart attack between 1988 and 1997 were compared. Those whose attacks occurred in the winter tended to have a higher risk profile, in that they were older, more likely to be at home when the attack occurred, and less likely to be defibrillatedgiven an electrical current to stop abnormal heart rhythms.... view more...
