Heart attacks are caused by a build-up and instability of plaque in the coronary arteries, which is often a result of chronic inflammation of the blood vessel walls. A study presented today at the American College of Cardiology's 56th Annual Scientific Session assessed whether adding a novel agent with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties to optimal medical therapy would reduce coronary events and death among patients with heart disease.

Ski area affects mountain watershed, UVM study shows
05-17-2007 · EurekAlert!
In the first-ever study to document the effects of ski resort development on water flows and quality in the northeastern US, University of Vermont researchers studied side-by-side watersheds on Mount Mansfield. Their results show greater-than-expected water volume from the developed watershed, suggesting that models derived from timber extraction studies may underestimate the hydrologic effects of resort development. This study provides baseline data that may contribute to new stormwater management approaches in mountainside development.

What do marathoners and heart failure patients have in common? More than you think according to new findings by physiologists at Columbia University Medical Center. The new study shows that the fatigue that marathoners and other extreme athletes feel at the end of a race is caused by a tiny leak inside their muscles that probably also saps the energy from patients with heart failure.
