Reduced Risk Of Recurrent Heart Attack With Anticoagulant Drug
Results of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET show that patients given the anticoagulant drug, bivalirudin, had a reduced risk of recurrent heart attack compared with patients given conventional treatment with heparin. The combination of anticoagulant therapies (fibrinolytic therapy and the use of unfractionated heparin) for acute heart... view more... (2001-11-28)
Wolf reintroduction proposed in Scottish Highland test case
Researchers are proposing in a new report that a major experiment be conducted to reintroduce wolves to a test site in the Scottish Highlands, to help control the populations and behavior of red deer that in the past 250 years have changed the whole nature of large ecosystems. view more (2009-07-21)
