Chronic diseases linked to falls in elderly women
Elderly women with chronic diseases, such as arthritis and depression, are at higher risk of falling, finds a study in this week's BMJ. In fact, chronic diseases may account for 30% of falls in this group. Researchers at the University of Bristol surveyed 4,050 women aged 60-79 years about whether they had had a fall in the previous 12 months, how... view more... (2003-09-24)
Proteins in urine predict brain damage in laboratory animals
The study dealt with the development and prevention of strokes in particular rats which had spontaneously developed extremely high blood pressure. Such a high blood pressure level leads within a few weeks to damage to the kidneys, heart and brain such that the rats die. The researchers found that brain damage in these rats is always preceded by... view more... (1999-06-21)
