...Being overweight is never good for your health, but a study in the Journal of the American Medical Association (J.A.M.A.) suggests that sometimes it's better to be fit than thin. As part of the Women's Ischemia Syndrome Evaluation, researchers found that inactive women, no matter how thin or fat, were much more likely to have heart attacks and other cardiac problems than women who exercised. But don't discount the impact of slimming down. In another study in J.A.M.A., research from the ongoing Women's Health Study found that overweight and obese women?regardless of how regularly they...

Every 45 seconds, someone in America has a stroke; every three minutes, someone dies of one. That translates into 700,000 strokes and 165,000 deaths each year, making ischemia (the technical term for the most common type of stroke) the nation's No. 3 killer. Even among survivors, strokes can exact a terrible toll: aftereffects range from difficulty walking, speaking and carrying out the everyday activities of life to depression and paralysis...
...into smaller particles that then lodge deeper in the brain. At the meeting last week, researchers reported that a tiny corkscrew device, housed in a thin catheter, can snag clots and pull them out without disrupting them--stopping the stroke damage almost instantly. The mechanical embolus removal in cerebral ischemia (MERCI) system restored blood flow in 54% of patients as long as eight hours after initial stroke symptoms appeared...
