A study of 875 healthy women ages 45 to 64 finds estrogen with or without progesterone lowers heart disease risk by up to 25 percent, raising good cholesterol and lowering bad cholesterol while not increasing blood pressure or weight. Side effects include a 33 percent rise in endometrial abnormalities unless progesterone is added.

Pam Richardson testified with her husband in Rockville urging the FDA to withdraw nonprescription ephedrine due to her son Karl’s January overdose death. Officials weighed whether to change Primatene Mist status or other asthma drugs, while critics noted ephedrine’s harm and limited legitimate use. The panel took no binding action, citing insufficient information.

Artificial liver shows promise using cloned human cells
The artificial liver, tested on 12 patients with acute liver failure, used blood from the neck through a device the size of a TV. Nine survived, with three kept alive until a transplant and six whose livers recovered. The system, developed by Hepatix Inc., relies on cloned liver cells to detoxify blood outside the body.
