Wine Drinkers Live Longer than Beer Guzzlers
A recent article in the Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis determined that drinkers of wine benefit from its cardio-protective effects, more so than those who drink beer or other spirits, and may also live longer. The article is part of a series of papers published in an open forum on wine, alcohol and cardiovascular risk. The analysis,... view more... (2005-01-31)

The beat goes on: a vertebrate heart that beats without oxygen
Scientists have discovered that the heart of a carp keeps beating when it is starved of oxygen for five days. "This is the first time that a vertebrate heart has been shown to survive such prolonged periods without oxygen and actually keep beating at the same rate as when oxygen is available" says Jonathan Stecyk (Simon Fraser... view more...

Sherry â€" Shown to have Health Benefits
New research published in Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture suggests that sherry may have the same health benefits as red wine. Sherry contains antioxidants that help control cholesterol levels, say Spanish scientists. Studies by researchers at University of Seville have shown that sherry, like red wine, contains antioxidants called... view more... (2004-03-17)
Possible genetic basis for alcohol abuse discovered
Alcoholism seems to have its roots at least partly in the genes. How genetic factors contribute to alcohol abuse is still an important question to be solved. There are hints that the body produces an opiate-active compound that may enhance alcohol addiction. New studies at the University of Bonn suggest that a gene is at least partly responsible... view more... (2001-04-18)

Alcohol-based Disinfectant Hand Gels Could Increase Infection In Hospitals (p 1489)
Authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that recently introduced disinfectant gels for hand hygiene are significantly less effective than rinses and could contribute to an increase in hospital-based infection. Hand hygiene among health-care workers is a major priority to prevent the spread of infection in hospitals.... view more... (2002-04-24)
