Elderly might not benefit

from regular aspirin

Fri May 20, 2005

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - A daily baby aspirin is often recommended by doctors to help prevent heart attacks or stroke, but for people over 70 years old the benefits may be offset by bleeding risks, investigators report. "The balance of harm and benefit could tip either way," they say.

Elderly individuals are at increased risk of having adverse reactions to drugs, Dr. Mark R. Nelson, from the University of Tasmania in Hobart, Australia, and colleagues note in the Online First edition of the British Medical Journal. However, most of the clinical trials looking into the prevention of cardiovascular events with aspirin have involved middle-aged subjects.

To further investigate the matter, the research team constructed a mathematical model based on clinical trial data and demographics to compare risks and benefits of low-dose aspirin in a theoretical cohort of 10,000 men and 10,000 women ages 70 to 74. The virtual participants were "followed" until they died or reached 100 years of age.

The model suggested that, for men, routine low-dose aspirin therapy would prevent 389 heart attacks and 19 strokes; for women, the numbers were 321 heart attacks and 35 strokes.

However, this benefit was offset by an extra 499 episodes of gastric bleeding in men and 572 in women. On top of that, the team calculated that 76 more men and 54 more women would suffer bleeding in the brain.

"On balance, there was no indication of a net benefit or harm in terms of deaths, years of life saved, or years of healthy life saved," the researchers report.

Their findings highlight the need for a randomized clinical trial of aspirin use in elderly patients, they add, and "underscore the importance of targeting preventive treatment to those for whom the potential balance of benefit versus harm is optimal."

U.S. Faces Frustrated Residents

October 16, 2010

The New York Times

By CARLOTTA GALL

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan — As American troops mount a critical operation this weekend in the campaign to regain control in Kandahar, they face not only the Taliban but also a frustrated and disillusioned population whose land has been devastated by five years of fighting.

While most villagers have fled the area, those who remain complain that they are trapped between insurgents and the foreign forces, often suffering damages for which they remain uncompensated.

One of those who left is Abdul Hamid, once a prosperous grape farmer and the owner of two houses, a raisin barn and 900 vines. He lived in a hamlet called Lora in Panjwai, a fertile farming district southwest of Kandahar where others who recently left say there has been heavy shooting and bombardment.


(...)

He put in a general claim with other villagers for compensation through the district and provincial government offices to the Canadian military, but he said he never received anything.

“I tried so much,” he said. “I tried writing many letters, but I received nothing and I became disappointed, and then I threw out the letters.”

Part of the problem is that in areas where the Taliban presence is strong, villagers cannot take compensation openly. “When the Taliban know you went to the district, or to the city, they come and see you and say, ‘What is this?’ Then they take the money and beat you,” said one farmer, asking not to be named.

Yet fighting through the bureaucracy seems just as hard for the Afghans. Lt. Kelly Rozenberg-Payne, a public affairs officer with the Canadian Expeditionary Force Command in Ottawa, wrote by e-mail that she had no information to support the allegations that Lora was bulldozed.

But she acknowledged the existence of an “austere platoon house” in the area, which Canadian forces upgraded to a substation for the Afghan police in the spring of 2008. It was dismantled in the fall of 2008 “because of changing operational priorities,” she wrote.

“Should locals have concerns,

we encourage them to come forward,”

she wrote.

HOUSTON, Texas (Reuters) -

Texas Gov. Rick Perry granted a rare stay

of execution to a Houston woman

just hours before she was scheduled

to die on Wednesday night by lethal injection

for the 1987 murder of her husband and two children.

Frances Newton, 39, has protested her innocence

since she was charged in the shooting deaths

of her husband Adrian, 23, son Alton, 7,

and daughter Farrah, 21 months,

in what prosecutors said was an attempt

to collect $100,000

from life insurance policies on her family.

Had she been put to death,

Newton would have been the first black woman

to be executed in Texas

and the fourth woman to be executed

in the state since 1863.

Day from Hell

May Have Killed Off Dinosaurs

Wed Oct 27, 2004

09:32 AM ET

Reuters

One minute you're a big T-Rex, the next you're toast.

Challenging conventional theory,

new scientific research suggests

the dinosaurs may have been scorched into extinction

by an asteroid collision 65 million years ago

that unleashed 10 billion times more power

than the Hiroshima nuclear bomb.

Earth's temperatures soared,

the sky turned red

and trees all over the planet burst into flames,

said atmospheric physicist Brian Toon

of the University of Colorado.

Among the few survivors

would have been animals living in water

or burrowed in the ground like turtles,

small mammals and crocodiles.

(...)

Creatures living near ground zero

would have been vaporized immediately

while those in the Caribbean area and southern United

States would have drowned

in 330-feet-high (100-meter) tsunamis

when the asteroid impacted

near today's Gulf of Mexico shoreline

at a speed of 33,750 mph (54,000 kph).

Then, a column of red-hot steam and dust

soared thousands of miles into space

and most of it fell back toward Earth within a few hours,

turning the heavens into hell.

GIANT FIRE

"The entire sky would be radiating at you.

It would be like standing next to a giant fire;

you'd be burned very severely," Toon said,

whose research is based on mathematical

and computer models.
