Medical Xpress / Sudden cardiac death condition shown to have linked genetic variations
Scientists have found that the "sudden" cardiac death condition related to high-profile deaths or major medical episodes of sports stars including Fabrice Muamba, Christian Erikson and Mark-Vivian Foe, has numerous linked ...
Medical Xpress / Why 78 degrees isn't the right thermostat setting for everyone during a heat wave
Across the U.S., it's a hot summer, and electricity prices are high. Various public officials and corporate websites suggest people set their thermostats to 78°F (25.6°C), or even 81°F (27.2°C), as a way to stay relatively ...
Medical Xpress / Large national study finds differences in multiple sclerosis death rates by age, race and geography
An analysis of more than 42,000 U.S. deaths linked to multiple sclerosis (MS) found that death rates varied by age, geography, race and ethnicity, with Black patients dying younger than white patients and high blood pressure ...
Medical Xpress / Coffee and heart health: How many cups of caffeinated coffee are safe to drink each day?
Previous studies have found that caffeine is the world's most popular stimulant and psychoactive substance, and coffee is the most common way people consume caffeine. The latest research supports the conclusion that, for ...
