Bigger is better when it comes to the G spot
DRUGS such as Viagra should work for some women- especially if they have a big G spot. This spot, famed for producing spectacular orgasms, turns out to be awash with the enzymes that these drugs act on. The term G spot, coined by Ernest Grafenberg in 1950, refers to an area a few centimetres up inside the vagina on the side closest to a woman`s... view more... (2002-07-03)

Diabetes complications rooted in faulty cell repair
University of Florida researchers say primitive cells that act like molecular maintenance men-traveling throughout the body to repair damaged blood vessels-become too rigid to move in patients with diabetes, fueling the disease's vascular complications.   view more (2006-01-26)

Active ingredient in common Chinese herb shown to reduce hypertension
Some 50 million Americans have hypertension, that is, blood pressure measuring above the normal range (less than 120/80 mmHg). If untreated, it can lead to heart attacks, strokes, or kidney disease. Lifestyle changes are the first-stage treatment for the disease, but if they fail, medications are prescribed.   view more (2007-01-19)
