...complain frequently about the cost that health care in particular adds to each car they produce in the U.S.--at GM it's $1,600, at Chrysler $1,500, at Ford $1,200. But the cost paid in management attention and focus may be even greater. The single greatest stroke of Rick Wagoner's seven-year tenure as GM CEO, for example, was probably his well-timed decision to use $18 billion in mostly borrowed money to shore up the pension fund in 2003 (yes, $18 billion does seem to be something of a magic number here). That move, coupled...
...good start and had a good rhythm,” seven-seat Breffny Morgan said. “The other teams put on a big push coming into the last quarter but we lengthened the stroke and held them...
...don’t think we were down at all going out of the start,” said stroke George Kitovitz, mentioning how often the team’s starts are weak in comparison to its middle 1000. “Today the start was good, the middle 1000 was very strong, and we had a good sprint...
...cost, inconvenience or stigma of popping five pills a day. But slackening off can be deadly: between a third and a half of the more than 50,000 Australians (and 11,800 New Zealanders) who die each year from cardiovascular disease have previously survived a heart attack or stroke. As a way to boost compliance, condensing treatment into a single pill, says Patel, "is probably going to be one of the biggest steps forward we can make at this stage." The trials will pit a polypill-based strategy against standard care. The aim: to find out whether the tinkering with...
...risk of side effects, and these have to be weighed against the potential benefits. For over-55s in excellent cardio health, the net benefit would be minimal. So another study will involve 600 subjects who doctors believe run a 7.5% to 15% risk of having a heart attack or stroke in the next five years, regardless of age. None of them will have cholesterol levels or blood pressure that would qualify them for treatment under current guidelines, just mild to moderate elevation in their readings across multiple risk factors. Treating for overall rather than individual risk recognizes the arbitrary nature...
