Description: Heart experts have reassured people aspirin is the best drug to prevent heart attacks in high risk individuals, after a patient group raised concerns. The British Cardiac Patients' Association had suggested other, more expensive, heart drugs might save more lives. She said many people who have had a heart attack or stroke go on to have another event despite aspirin therapy. But the British Heart Foundation backed current guidance recommending aspirin.

Description: London, May 24: A diet rich in milk may protect people from heart disease and strokes, says a study published today. Researchers who studied the diets and health of men over a 20-year period found that those who drank a lot of milk were 12 per cent less likely to have a heart attack and almost half as likely to suffer a stroke.

Description: Ignoring President Bush's veto threat, the House voted Tuesday to lift limits on embryonic stem cell research, a measure supporters said could accelerate cures for diseases but opponents viewed as akin to abortion. STEM CELLS What Are They? Pros, Cons: National Institutes Of Health Center For Bioethics And Human Dignity RESEARCH White House Guidelines Policy Too Restrictive? Fund Research? Post Your View Bush called the bill a mistake and said he would veto it. The House approved it by a 238-194 vote, far short of the two-thirds majority that would be needed to override a veto. "This bill would take us across a critical ethical line by creating new incentives for the ongoing destruction of emerging human life," the president said Tuesday. "Crossing this line would be a great mistake."

716. Tens of thousands of cases seen in Vioxx litigation
http://www.kpho.com/Global/story.asp?S=3381718

2005-05-23 18:10:23
Description: NEW ORLEANS A federal judge in New Orleans says there could ultimately be up to 100-thousand cases filed against Merck over its recalled pain reliever Vioxx. The judge made the remarks before dozens of lawyers from both sides who met for a monthly status conference today. The judge is handling the pretrial issues for federal cases. He says he could hear a case as early as the fall. There have been over two-thousand cases filed against the drugmaker so far. Analysts have estimated that Merck's potential liability could reach 18 (b) billion dollars. Merck withdrew Vioxx from the market last September after a study showed it doubled patients' risk of heart attacks and stroke in people taking the drug longer than 18 months.

718. Stem cells gathered from embryo clones
http://www.buffalonews.com/editorial/20050520/1069184.asp

Description: LOS ANGELES - South Korean scientists have surmounted a key hurdle in stem cell research, reporting Thursday that they have produced 11 human embryo clones of injured or sick patients and have harvested individualized stem cells - a template for creating therapeutic cells for anyone. The experiment involved both male and female patients ranging in age from 2 to 56 and produced stem cells much more efficiently than before, validating the technology's medical feasibility. The findings were reported by the same team that produced the first human embryo clones last year. If the process can be replicated in other labs, scientists said, they could create individualized lines of stem cells to produce tissues suitable for transplants without running the risk of rejection. Patient-specific lines of embryonic stem cells could be created to produce new heart muscle to repair the damage from a heart attack, for instance, or fresh brain tissue to treat stroke victims.
