A 12-year study of 38,077 male health professionals found that men who drank alcohol three or more days per week had a reduced risk of heart attack compared with men who drank less frequently. Men who drank less than one drink a day had similar risk reduction to those who drank three.
Many epidemiologic studies have reported that moderate drinking–for men two drinks a day–is associated with a reduced risk of heart disease. This study looked at the relationship between quantity and frequen
Studies indicate that the number of diagnosed cases of Autism, or autistic spectrum disorder, is increasing with around 0.6% of the population affected. Early infantile autism was first described almost 60 years ago and autism has been the subject of intense research activities ever since, however the origin of the condition is still not understood. This review issue of Philosophical Transactions B, a Royal Society publication, provides a comprehensive overview of the latest research on autism and hi
US fertility experts have discovered a potential new role for the wonder drug tamoxifen – helping breast cancer patients to have babies by IVF.
In a study published today (Wednesday 8 January) in Europe’s leading reproductive medicine journal Human Reproduction [1], researchers from New York’s Cornell University report the first IVF pregnancy to result from the use of tamoxifen as an ovarian stimulant.
In a study of 12 breast cancer survivors they found that stimulating the ovaries
A class of drugs known as cholinesterase inhibitors has a significant impact on behavioral problems and the ability to perform everyday tasks in patients with Alzheimer’s disease, according to a study led by researchers at the San Francisco VA Medical Center (SFVAMC) and UCSF.
The study, an analysis of data from multiple small studies, appears in the January 8, 2003 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association. Known as a meta-analysis, the study applied sophisticated statistical

Agents that alter blood levels of beta-amyloid protein in mouse models of Alzheimers disease represent a potential approach to treating the illness in humans that may be safer than the vaccine method of therapy, researchers report in a new study.
Beta-amyloid protein is a component of the amyloid plaques that accumulate in the brains of people with Alzheimer¡s disease. Beta-amyloid is viewed by many researchers and clinicians as the underlying cause of the degeneration and demen
