...however, it elevates it. Exercise is important, with aerobic activity--as little as 30 minutes of brisk walking--recommended for three or four days a week. Even though pressure briefly rises when you exercise, the workouts cause the heart and other muscles to become more efficient and require less oxygen. This reduces cardiovascular demands and lowers overall pressure...

...called weak nuclear interaction were a tiny bit stronger or weaker than it is, for example, stars wouldn't blow up in the mammoth supernovas that spread elements like carbon and oxygen out into space--and without those elements, there would be no water and no organic molecules. If the strong nuclear force were just one-half of 1% stronger or weaker, stars could not make carbon or oxygen in the first place. In 1999 Martin Rees postulated that there were "just six numbers" that make life possible, although other theorists have since added several. And because there...
...American Medical Association. Doctors at Duke Clinical Research Institute analyzed data from three big trials involving more than 24,000 patients, 10% of whom had had transfusions during their first 30 days in the hospital. Researchers speculate that transfused blood may lack nitric oxide--essential for delivering oxygen to tissues--and cause harmful inflammation. Transfusions can't be halted, says the study's lead author, but cardiologists can be more selective about who gets them.--By Sora Song

The man, who had briefly passed out, is in severe pain from his kidney area and is getting oxygen. The doctor sits across the hall from the emergency room at the Banner Good Samaritan Medical Center in Phoenix, Ariz., but his patient is a little farther away: on an airplane 30,000 ft. over the Middle East. Yet within minutes, Baron has diagnosed a kidney stone, suggested preliminary treatment and arranged for medical personnel...
