Researchers studied roughlyâ#80000 households from 600 villages and found a 64 percent drop in mortality from diseases covered by insurance.

Decreases in stroke incidence and mortality are partly due to more successful control of risk factors such as blood pressure or smoking and to the wide use of statin medications to control cholesterol.

and mortality is not due solely to people smoking or exhibiting unhealthy behaviors or experiencing chronic conditions that contribute to a higher risk of mortality.

OMETHING UNIQUE ABOUT DEPRESSIONWHEN the researchers adjusted for factors such as marital status, education, employment status, family income, alcohol consumption, level of physical activity, smoking status, body mass, functional limitations,

and chronic conditions, they still found an independent association among major depression and increased risk of non-suicide mortality among the age group.

This includes findings that major depression was associated with 2. 68 times the risk of cardiovascular disease mortality among those who did not have cardiovascular disease at the baseline.

but it also important because it stands as an independent risk factor in mortality. There might be something unique about depression,

that there something about depression that might lead to an increased risk of mortality. He says related research has suggested major depression may have a physiological effect on blood pressure or arterial tightening that can cause cardiovascular disease. t physiologically important

For the mortality data, researchers examined the 1999 National Health Interview Study linked to the 2006 National Death Index,

About 13%of couples of reproductive age experience fertility problems. When fertility problems are identified the usual response is to conduct extensive evaluation of the female partner before embarking on fertility treatment.

Fertility treatments are often expensive; the average price of in vitro fertilization hovers around $12, 400.

in many cases, there no obvious reason that a man should have difficulty with fertility, a condition known as idiopathic infertility."

"It difficult to say why they pass all the fertility tests, and we can ascertain the underlying cause of the infertility,"study author Stephen Krawetz,

and his team collected sperm from 96 men who were receiving different types of treatments at a fertility clinic.

That let scientists identify 648 sperm RNA elements known as exons linked with male fertility. Men in the group who had trouble conceiving all had at least one of these RNA sequences missing in their sperm.

fertility clinics could also look to see if these 648 RNA elements are present in the semen."
