Description: Some airlines these days are urging passengers to exercise to avoid the possibility of developing a blood clot.

974. Zap!
http://www.boston.com/dailyglobe2/014/science/Zap_+.shtml
Boston Globe
2003-01-14 06:34:04
Description: ''From the point of view of cognitive neuroscience - understanding how brain activity relates to behavior - it is, in a way, a dream come true for all of us, because it provides a way to create our own patients, as it were,'' said Pascual-Leone, director of the Laboratory for Magnetic Brain Stimulation at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. ''You can create a very transient disruption of the brain. For a few milliseconds, it is as if those cells were not there. So you are able to ask questions about what role a particular brain part plays in a particular behavior.'' More and more, TMS also appears to hold the potential for therapy to help with brain problems, including depression, Parkinson's Disease and stroke.

http://www.msnbc.com/news/857215.asp
MSNBC
2003-01-09 15:42:13
Description: �WHEN THE vampire bat bites its victim, it secretes this powerful clot-dissolving substance so that the victim�s blood will keep flowing, allowing the bat to feed,� said Dr. Robert Medcalf of the Monash University Department of Medicine at Box Hill Hospital in Victoria, Australia. That same substance � Desmodus rotundus salivary plasminogen activator, or DSPA � might someday be given to stroke victims to dissolve clots and thereby limit brain damage, he said.

979. Robert Goldberg on Hypertension Study on National Review Online
http://www.nationalreview.com/comment/comment-rgoldberg010803.asp
National Review
2003-01-09 03:49:55
Description: As the issue of Medicare drug coverage is resurrected yet again, watch as facts are twisted to focus on the price of drugs rather than on the cost and benefits of treating patients. It is easier to pick on drug companies than to do what is right for people. Exhibit One: the manhandling of a study conducted by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), a branch of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), to determine the comparative benefits of older and newer medications in reducing the rate of heart disease. The NHLIB concluded that patients on older drugs (diuretics) have less stroke and heart failure than patients on newer medications (calcium channel blockers and ACE inhibitors).
