ACE Inhibitors Prevent Memory Loss in Lupus Patients, Study Suggests
Activation of brain cells called microglia contributes to the memory loss and cognitive impairment in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). ACE inhibitors – drugs used to treat hypertension – block this process in mice and might help preserve memory in lupus patients.

Secret Tunnels Discovered Between Skull and Brain

Oxygen Therapy for Patients Suffering a Heart Attack Does Not Prevent Heart Failure
Oxygen therapy does not prevent the development of heart failure nor reduce the long-term risk of dying for patients with suspected heart attack.
Sharp Increase in Falls in Women During Midlife
Falls are not just a problem of advanced age, according to researchers in Trinity College Dublin, who have identified a sharp increase in falls after the age of 40, particularly in women.
