Pneumonia: A Bigger Killer than Swine Flu
In: Health News
2 Nov 2009There’s a lot of debate among parents in the US about the H1N1 vaccine. Some of the parents of small children I’ve spoken to over the last week are seriously debating whether to get it. Many are deciding not to give their child yet another vaccine.
However, what if H1N1 was the leading killer of children, responsible for one out of every five childhood deaths in the United States? There wouldn’t be any debate at all about it.

Alzheimer’s Disease: Discovery Of Brain Protein May Be Clue To Treatment
In: Seniors/Aging
20 Feb 2009A study from the Buck Institute for Age Research offers a revolutionary new model for Alzheimer’s disease (AD), a devastating neurodegenerative disorder which afflicts 24 million people worldwide. In an effort to unravel the normal function of a protein implicated in AD, scientists in California and France have discovered a naturally occurring protein that provides a new therapeutic target for the disease. The finding upsets the current theory that AD is a disease of toxicity stemming from damage caused by sticky plaques that collect in the brain – this research points to the condition as a disorder involving an imbalance in signaling between neurons. The study appears online in the Nature publication Cell Death and Differentiation.
