People who have switched to decaffeinated coffee for health reasons got a nasty jolt last week. At a meeting of the American Heart Association, Stanford researchers reported a study of 181 middle-aged men showing that among those who exchanged decaffeinated for regular coffee, levels of harmful LDL cholesterol rose an average of 7%. That could increase the risk of heart attack an estimated...
Karl Marx would have understood their revolt. Just outside Leipzig's jumble of medieval churches and high-rises lies one of the most dismal landscapes in Europe. This is the heart of the rust belt: mile after mile of blackened smokestacks spew sulfurous coal smoke into the yellow sky; workers labor in ramshackle chemical and textile plants under Dickensian conditions of dirt and noise. To the east stretch crumbling tenements built 100 years ago; to the west sprawl ugly new developments virtually devoid of stores, cinemas or restaurants. Average monthly incomes would buy just $30 of goods in the West...
Live ABC transmissions from the heart of Berlin that showed a new opening in the Berlin Wall probably seemed innocuous to most viewers. But those who looked over Peter Jenning's shoulder couldn't help but notice a large swastika spray-painted on the Wall. It's true that people spray paint swastikas on public walls in the United States. But American never unified behind a symbol which stands for world domination and the annihilation of entire races...
...larger than a daily vitamin supplement that has a silicon thermometer and the electronics necessary to broadcast instant temperature readings to a recording device. By having a patient swallow the pill, doctors can pinpoint worrisome hot spots anywhere within the digestive tract. Future "smart pills" may transmit information about heart rates, stomach acidity or neural functions. Says Russell Eberhart, program manager at Johns Hopkins' Applied Physics Laboratory: "This could change the way we diagnose and monitor patients...
Researchers at Tokyo University are pursuing an even more ambitious goal. Working under Iwao Fujimasa, an artificial-heart specialist, a team of 20 scientists is building a robot less than 1 mm (0.045 in.) in diameter that could travel through veins and inside organs, locating and treating diseased tissue. The group hopes to build a prototype within three years for testing on a horse, but the researchers first must obtain gears, screws and other parts 1,000 times smaller than the tiniest available today...
