The researchers believe the discovery could theoretically help remotely monitor medical patients, evaluate athletic performance, diagnose disease and remotely sense the level of excitation – which could have significant implications for technology in the biomedical engineering, anti-terror and security technology fields. The initial results of the research were published last week in the prestigious scientific journal The Physical Review Letters. The publication aroused significant interest among scientists, physicians and science writers.

clipped from www.cnn.com Studies: Inexpensive blood pressure drugs can lower risks CHICAGO, Illinois (AP) -- Two big studies offer good news to people with high blood pressure, finding that novel ways to use cheap drugs already on the market can lower their risk of heart attacks, stroke and death -- even if they are very old. More than 70 million Americans have high blood pressure -- readings of 140 over 90 or more -- and only a third have it well controlled by medicines. Guidelines advise starting on one, usually a "water pill," and adding others as needed. He led a study testing a single daily pill combining a diuretic and the ACE inhibitor benazepril versus a daily pill containing benazepril and a calcium channel blocker, amlodipine. ACE inhibitors dilate blood vessels to lower pressure. Calcium channel blockers do the same in a different way. Those people had about 20 percent fewer heart-related problems or strokes -- 526 among the 5,713 in this group versus 650 events among the 5,732 others, Jamerson said.

clipped from foodconsumer.org Cod liver oil helps rheumatoid arthritis MONDAY March 31, 2008 (Foodconsumer.org) -- A study found a daily intake of cod liver oil, which is high in vitamin D, A and omega -3 fatty acids and known to have strong anti-inflammation prosperities, can help patients with rheumatoid arthritis cut painkiller use, BBC reported. The study by researchers from Dundee University found taking 10 grams of cod liver oil per day helped patients reduce use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) by 30% without any side effect. NSAIDs are known to have some side effects such as stomach bleeding and if taken in large doses for a long term can increase risk of heart attacks and strokes. Alternative treatments are desirable. The researchers found 39 percent of patients taking cod liver oil reduced their daily use of NSAIDs compared to 10 percent taking a placebo. The reduction did not aggravate the pain or the disease, the study shows.
