McDonald, a world-renowned scholar of 18th century French literature, focuses her research on the relationship between literature and the social sciences and arts. Her husband, a cardiologist, is the associate dean of the Center for Continuing Health Professional Education at McGill...
...precision dosing and resuscitation, was "not present." Propofol, an anesthetic normally used in hospital settings for surgical procedures, was allegedly given to the pop icon at his home by Murray to treat insomnia in the hours leading up to his death on June 25.

"It gave us great confidence that we identified genetic variants on a pathway we already know is associated with telomere length...
