Californians urged to help reduce spread of Sudden Oak Death
An update on the increased spread of Sudden Oak Death, a plant disease devastating many of California's coastal oak and tanoak trees, and information on what Californians can do to help reduce its spread will be presented during a news conference on plant diseases that are of importance to... view more (2007-07-16)

Immunisation is not linked to sudden infant death
Vaccination against diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis is now given at ages 2, 3 and 4 months in the UK, which coincides with the peak age for the sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). However, a study in this week's BMJ finds that immunisation is not linked to sudden unexpected death in infancy and... view more (2001-04-03)

Implantable defibrillators save lives but may increase heart failure risk
Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) reduce the risk of sudden cardiac death but may increase the risk of subsequent heart failure in patients who live longer, according to a study published in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association.   view more (2006-06-13)

Window of opportunity for restoring oaks small, new study finds
Communities of Oregon white oak were once widespread in the Pacific Northwest's western lowlands, but, today, they are in decline. Fire suppression, conifer and invasive plant encroachment, and land use change have resulted in the loss of as much as 99 percent of the oak communities historically... view more (2008-05-15)

Screening program yields decline in sudden cardiac deaths in young athletes
The annual incidence of sudden cardiovascular deaths among young athletes has declined significantly since the start of a pre-participation cardiovascular screening program in northeast Italy.   view more (2006-10-04)

Sports-related sudden cardiac death is reduced by pre-participation cardiovascular screening
Young competitive athletes are perceived by the general population to be the healthiest members of society.
