...most cost-effective method of advancing scientific research is to send spacecraft without astronauts off into different parts of the solar system, in a manner similar to the Voyager spacecraft. Because these spacecraft are inherently much less expensive, less complex and less risky than human-occupied craft, they provide more scientific returns per dollar investment...
...important a factor as too much LDL. On the other hand, the higher the level of HDL, the more it may aid in counteracting the effects of the bad cholesterol. This is the view of Dr. William Castelli, medical director of the Framingham Heart Study, a major research project that for the past 40 years has been following the cardiac history of residents of Framingham, Mass. "A number of us," says Castelli, "feel we can do a much better job of predicting who is at risk of getting heart disease if we look at the LDL and the HDL together...
That judgment was reinforced by four new studies presented at the American Heart Association's annual meeting in Washington last month. They confirmed earlier research indicating that low levels of HDL can result in heart disease -- even in individuals whose total cholesterol count is in the supposedly "safe" zone below 200 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl) of blood...
Even though HDL's relationship to coronary heart disease was first noted in 1951, many people are still not being advised by their doctors to raise their good-cholesterol levels. The reason, says Dr. Robert Levy, president of New Jersey's Sandoz Research Institute, is that there is no absolute proof that raising HDL alone can lower a person's risk of heart disease. No convincing body of evidence from animal studies has yet demonstrated the value of raising HDL, and no clinical trial to date has specifically targeted humans with low HDL. "Much the same question existed...
...have established a rigorous schedule of fines. "The amount of the fine will be based on the type of tree that is stolen," McNichol said. Fines for stealing are $3 per foot for timber trees, $10 for tree farm and nursery trees, and $36 for the prime landscape and "research" trees...
