Can Rheumatoid Arthritis Be Prevented?: RA Prevention: Introduction

Healthcare now is moving towards prevention, or at the very least very early detection, as a means to manage many of the diseases that affect the population. For example, vaccines are given against a wide variety of pathogens in order to prevent morbidity and mortality from infections. Also, individuals are screened for risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD), and once identified, risk factors that can be modified are addressed to help prevent or delay CVD events. Importantly, the ability to prevent diseases

The Great Debate: Medicine or Surgery: Abstract and Introduction

In 1991, a National Institutes of Heath expert consensus panel recommended bariatric surgery to treat obesity for informed and motivated patients with BMI >40 kg/m2, or between 35 and 40 kg/m2 with high-risk comorbid conditions including diabetes, in whom operative risks are acceptable.[1] In December 2010, these guidelines were reviewed by the Gastroenterology and Urology Devices Panel of the Medical Devices Advisory Committee of the Food and Drug Administration,

Exercise May Cut Salt’s Effect on Blood Pressure

March 23, 2011 -- Regular exercise and a low-sodium diet are two lifestyle changes that are often recommended to lower high blood pressure.

Now a new study shows that one appears to influence the other.

Specifically, physical activity appears to help keep blood pressure from climbing after people eat eye-popping amounts of salt -- 18,000 milligrams a day to be exact. That’s about 10 times the recommended daily intake for sodium. As a visual aid, picture 18 salted soft pretzels like the kind sold at mall food courts.

Could you lower cholesterol levels with a bowl of oatmeal in the morning and a handful of nuts in the afternoon? It's certainly possible.

"Dietary changes can have powerful effects on cholesterol levels," says Edgar R. Miller III, MD, PhD, associate professor of medicine and epidemiology at Johns Hopkins University. That's true even if you don't lose weight or exercise more, he says -- although obviously it's better to do those as well.

Study: No Link Between Mercury in Fish, Heart Disease

March 23, 2011 -- Fish lovers trying to stay heart-healthy can mostly relax about the mercury in fish, according to a new study.

Mercury exposure from eating fish, linked in some previous research to a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, does not appear to boost heart disease risk, the new study suggests.

“We didn't see any evidence that higher levels of mercury were linked to higher cardiovascular harm," says researcher Dariush Mozaffarian, MD, DrPH, an associate professor of medicine and epidemiology at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston.

Shuttle LIFE: About the Launch

The Planetary Society developed LIFE – Living Interplanetary Flight Experiment – to investigate the transpermia hypothesis, the idea that a living organism might survive a journey through space to Earth inside a meteorite. Organic molecules have been found in meteorites, so is it possible for a living organism to make the trip from somewhere like Mars?

The LIFE module was designed to fly aboard Russia’s Phobos Sample Return mission, slated to launch in fall 2011. Phobos LIFE has been made possible through the generous support of Planetary Society members. For the Phobos mission, a selection of well-known microorganisms are packed into miniature sample tubes, that in turn are packed into a nearly indestructible titanium capsule that looks like a small hockey puck.
