Ephedrine Linked To Sudden Heart Attacks
A new study from University of Oklahoma researchers ties ephedrine, a dietary supplement ingredient, to sudden heart attacks. The work, to be detailed in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, notes ephedrine may provoke fatal ischemic events in individuals with blocked coronary arteries while not raising resting heart rate. Dr Philip Adamson of the Oklahoma Heart Science Center led the experiments, highlighting regulatory actions and risks for younger adults without prior heart disease.

Topical HIV protection shown to block simian infection
An international team found that applying a lab made protein to the vaginal surface of female macaques before exposure to simian HIV protected them from infection. The study, led by Dr. Michael Lederman of Case Western Reserve University, identifies a target molecule for blocking transmission and suggests a topical agent could help prevent HIV in humans, especially where condoms are not used. The researchers note the virus mainly spreads sexually and emphasize the potential for a women controlled prevention method. The drug alters cell surfaces to prevent HIV binding, and was designed by Robin Offord and Oliver Hartley in Switzerland.
