Statins reduce loss of function, keeping old lungs young - even in smokers
Statins are known to be good for lowering cholesterol and maybe even fighting dementia, and now they have another reported benefit: they appear to slow decline in lung function in the elderly- even in those who smoke.   view more (2007-10-12)

Acetaminophen or acetylsalicylic acid increases risk of developing chronic kidney failure
People who regularly use high dosages of pain-relievers or antipyretic drugs containing acetaminophen (paracetamol) or acetylsalicylic acid run an increased risk of developing permanent reduced kidney function (chronic renal failure). This was found in a nation-wide Swedish research study published... view more (2001-12-21)

Reducing the risks of GM micro-organisms
Scientists have developed a system to increase the safety of genetically modified (GM) microbes for release into the environment. Release of GM micro-organisms is a cause of great concern to many, because the microbes could pass on genes for disease or other harmful traits to others. But, a team... view more (2003-12-09)

Mayo Clinic finding may double genetic screening effectiveness for sudden death heart condition
Currently that genetic test correctly detects HCM only 40 percent of the time. But coupled with imaging information, the detection power of the test nearly doubles, to 79 percent, says Steve Ommen, M.D., director of Mayo's HCM Clinic and co-lead investigator of the Mayo Clinic research team.   view more (2006-04-20)
