it may no longer be enough to measure just HDL levels without determining levels of paroxonase and platelet-activating acetylhydrolase; levels of these enzymes may determine whether HDL is proinflammatory or protective. Likewise, measuring Lp(a) and small
For "traditional" cardiologists, CAD is a blockage or blockages in the coronary arteries, and the treatment is stents. For "nontraditional" cardiologists, CAD is a more systemic, diffuse condition, and the treatment is systemic.
The number of swine flu cases is rising rapidly and experts are warning in the worst-case scenario 30% - or one in three of the UK population - could become infected and up to 65,000 people could die this winter. These sound like big, scary numbers, but what do they actually mean and how have they been calculated?

Researchers repeatedly discovered primary pharmaceutical contaminants, their metabolites, and transformation products in aquatic ecosystems. Body metabolism may not convert consumed pharmaceuticals to their metabolic elements before excretion. In this case, clinical and industrial wastes ensure their presence in the environment. Nevertheless, conventional wastewater treatment methods are ineffective for removing pharmaceutical wastes. Once in the ecosystem, they alter the physiological response of nontarget exposed aquatic and even terrestrial organisms due to induced toxicity.
a self-regulating, unfiltered, non-hierarchical register, open to accredited researchers and analysists, of all apparent and competing risks to sustainability, where these can be backed up by evidence. Not a data-base in the simple sense, the main function is to allow authors to state, register and to promote any specific risk that they have identified in a summarised, common, accessible format, including proposed causal paths. The entry would link back to the authors own site or orginal papers.
FDA says drug-eluting stents are safe & effective in stable patients with single-vessel disease; even so, they'll have to take Plavix (clopidogrel) & aspirin for a year or more...up to a lifetime. High-risk patients with multivessel disease are much more

Guided by the risk information-seeking and processing model, this study examines positive and negative affect separately in their influence on information-seeking intentions and avoidance through structural equation analyses. The highlight is that information avoidance seems to be driven by positive affect, while information seeking seems to be more heavily influenced by negative affect. Another interesting finding is that informational subjective norms are positively related to both seeking and avoidance, which suggests that one’s social environment has the potential to strongly influence the way he or she handles climate change information. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.

Elevated levels of myeloperoxidase in otherwise healthy men and women increased the likelihood of overt coronary artery disease by 50% over 8 years compared with patients who had the lowest levels of the enzyme (P<0.001), according to a 2007 report publis
The consequences of the Japanese earthquake – especially the ongoing crisis at the Fukushima nuclear power plant – resonate grimly for observers of the American financial crash that precipitated the Great Recession. Both events provide stark lessons about risks, and about how badly markets and societies can manage them.
