...attack might help preserve heart muscle. One clue from a study at Toronto General Hospital: rabbits injected with vitamin E within two hours of a heart attack showed 78% less damage to heart tissue than was expected.

Slack pools created by reservoirs behind the dams have slowed the smolts' traveling time from seven days to six weeks. This increases their...
