20 years after settlement, billions in anti-tobacco funds spent elsewhere

10:51 am by admin Leave a Comment

Twenty years after 46 states and the District of Columbia reached a historic settlement with four major tobacco companies, the United States has seen an unprecedented drop in adult smoking. But advocates say the billions paid to states are not always being targeted for smoking cessation. The 1998 agreement established a fund in which tobacco companies -- Philip Morris, R.J. Reynolds, Brown & Williamson and Lorillard, as well as industry trade associations -- pay states billions annually … [Read more...]

Experimental vaccine may reduce risk of post-stroke blood clot

7:11 am by admin Leave a Comment

An experimental vaccine reduced the risk of post-stroke blood clot risk in a study with mice, researchers report in a new study. Researchers in Japan hope the vaccine, called S100A9, may one day replace oral blood thinners, which are used to help prevent another stroke. The findings were published Monday in the journal Hypertension. In addition, they found that the vaccine also doesn't increase the risk of serious bleeding or lead to an autoimmune response. "Many stroke patients don't … [Read more...]

Bug behind stomach cancer also linked to colon cancer

7:27 am by admin Leave a Comment

The same type of bacteria that causes stomach cancer may also increase colon cancer risk, especially in black Americans, a new study finds. Researchers analyzed data from more than 4,000 colon or rectal cancer cases in the United States. They found a significant association between rates of these cancers and infection with a virulent strain of H. pylori bacteria that's especially common among black Americans. The findings do not prove that H. pylori causes colon or rectal cancer, however. … [Read more...]

Study reveals new molecular properties of water

6:40 am by admin Leave a Comment

Scientists have discovered new molecular properties of water. Water is known as an efficient transporter of its autoionization components -- the charged particles, protons and hydroxide ions, created when an H2O molecule splits. Until recently, scientists assumed autoionization transportation occurred through a single mechanism, dictated by a single variable, the direction of the involved hydrogen bond. New theoretical modeling, however, showed the transportation mechanism features a … [Read more...]

Alcohol drives rise in liver disease deaths in young adults

10:01 am by admin Leave a Comment

The Great Recession continues to take a grim toll: Since 2009, a growing number of Americans have died from liver disease and liver cancer. The increase among 25- to 34-year-olds is especially troubling because the deaths are due to cirrhosis, a disease caused by excessive drinking, the authors of a new study said. The researchers suspect the economic downturn in 2008 prompted people to comfort themselves with alcohol. "These are deaths of despair," said lead researcher Dr. Elliot Tapper, … [Read more...]

Women with diabetes have higher cancer risk

The takeaway: Among people with diabetes, women have a 6 percent higher risk of cancer than men, the researchers said. And based on the researchers' analysis of data from 47 studies, diabetics of both sexes are at greater risk of cancer than … [Read more...]
