    Low-dose Glycine As Stroke Treatment In Humans

    The mainstream therapy for (non-hemorrhaging) stroke is a IV anticoagulants like warfarin, or a baby aspirin within the first few hours of getting stroke symptoms while the person is on her/his way to the hospital. These two studies show that sublingual glycine in a dose of 1g-2g within the...

    Health Of Young People Has Declined Strongly In The Last 30 Years

    When you first look at the study, it seems a fairly benign and almost irrelevant finding. In fact, the study authors try to present it just as such, as they are probably unaware of the implications of their findings. What is more, the study authors call for revision of the health standards in...

    Taller People Have Higher Mortality From Cancer

    I am sure this will ignite a firestorm again, but that is not my intention. Last week, I posted this study that claimed overweight people have lower mortality. People With The Lowest Overall Mortality Are Overweight That relationship has been claimed to be explainable by a proportion of skinny...

    People With The Lowest Overall Mortality Are Overweight

    This Danish study further cements the status of the "overweight paradox" as something that will not soon go away or be explained away as a statistical anomaly. While previous studies looked at the survival of people with specific conditions and found the mildly obese to fare best, this study...

    SSRI Drugs Increase Stroke Mortality In People With Diabetes

    The study was done on people with diabetes and the presumption was that it was the diabetes that gave them the stroke, not the SSRI. I, personally, dispute that assumption and think that the SSRI was responsible for both the increased stroke incidence and increased mortality from that stroke, as...

    Lower Androgens And/or Increase In Pituitary Hormones Linked To Increased Mortality In Men

    So much for T and DHT being bad for older men. More specifically, lower androgen levels and higher pituitary hormone levels were linked to higher cancer and CVD mortality. Temporal changes in sex hormones linked to increased mortality in older men "...Increased risk for all-cause mortality was...

    Cancer Screening Does NOT "save Lives"

    Ray has written many times of the ineffectiveness of cancer treatments and early diagnosis in saving lives. This study formalizes this topic a bit and proposes a new standard in cancer screenings effectiveness - a reduction of all-cause mortality. http://www.bmj.com/content/352/bmj.h6080

    Overweight people have lower mortality

    Obesity paradox confirmed again. Actually, I should say "mild obesity and overweight paradox" confirmed again. Very obese people (grade 2 and 3) had higher mortality but comparable to normal weight people. http://jama.jamanetwork.com/article.asp ... id=1555137 "...Conclusions and Relevance...

    The Obesity "paradox" - Confirmed Once Again

    This study looked at people who had undergone cardiac surgery, so it probably does not apply directly to "healthy" people. However, the findings are pretty telling - if you are unhealthy and about to have a surgical procedure being overweight or mildly obese can save your life...

    Overweight diabetes patients outlive slim ones

    In another confirmation of the "obesity paradox", this study found that overweight diabetes patients outlived slim diabetes patients, and had a lower risk of co-morbidities in general. http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/05/ ... Z220150504 "...Patients with type-2 diabetes who are overweight...

    Estradiol promotes sudden cardiac death; progesterone is protective

    Significant drop in mortality when doctors are away from work

    Ray has been saying that a significant number (perhaps majority) of deaths are iatrogenic - i.e. caused by the medical procedures and/or staff. These studies seem to confirm his view: http://arstechnica.com/science/2014/12/ ... o-survive/ http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18849101

    Higher Muscle Mass Index (MMI) linked with lower mortality

    Ray has written about bodybuilders and muscular people in general having lower mortality, due to higher metabolism and ability to better metabolize harmful fats. This statement had been confirmed by several studies looking at BMI, but people with higher BMI have (on average) higher body fat and...

    Higher vitamin K intake reduces all-cause mortality risk

    Actually, the effect was most pronounced for CVD and cancer deaths but the protection was for all other (measured) causes as well. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24647393

    Higher intake of vitamin K inversely tied to mortality risk

    It's just an epidemiology study, but it has some good data. Also, they tried to factor in intake of all types of vitamin K (K1, MK-4, MK-7, etc). http://jn.nutrition.org/content/144/5/743.full
