Around 29 million people in the US take a daily dose of aspirin as a preventative measure for cardiovascular disease. And while an age-related increased risk of bleeding has seen it fall out of favor with medical authorities, it’s now shaping up as som… Continue reading How aspirin stops the growth and spread of colorectal cancer
While research shows that taking a daily dose of aspirin could have some definite pros and cons, a new study adds a tick to the pro column. It was found that low-dose supplementation with the drug reduced type 2 diabetes development in adults over 65 b… Continue reading Daily aspirin shown to drive down diabetes risk in older adults
A large new study has found that healthy older adults taking a long-term low dose of aspirin may be at increased risk of developing anemia. The researchers say their findings suggest that these patients may need regular monitoring.Continue ReadingCateg… Continue reading Low-dose aspirin may increase anemia risk in healthy older adults
Ovarian cancer is a highly fatal type of cancer that can be caused by several genetic factors. A recent study examined whether the protection provided by taking aspirin frequently, which has been shown to reduce ovarian cancer risk, was affected by a g… Continue reading Aspirin reduces ovarian cancer risk regardless of genetic predisposition
A leading panel of US experts has updated its health guidelines, formally recommending those over the age of 60 against taking aspirin to prevent heart attack or stroke. The recommendation is based on growing evidence indicating the harms of daily aspi… Continue reading Daily aspirin use for heart health not recommended for those over 60
When restoring former industrial or agricultural land back to its natural state, it’s vitally important to reestablish ground cover plants such as native grasses. According to a new study, the addition of aspirin helps those grasses grow.Continue Readi… Continue reading Aspirin shown to help native grasses grow on restored land
A new study is presenting the most current meta-analysis of published observational research investigating whether long-term aspirin use reduces the risk of developing digestive tract cancers. While the results suggest aspirin may help prevent some can… Continue reading Metastudy says aspirin lowers risk of some cancers, but questions remain
In Texas — at least around Houston — we don’t have basements. We do, however, have bilges. Both of these are subject to taking on water when no one is paying attention. A friend of mine asked me what I thought of an Instructable that showed how to make a water sensor using a few discrete components. The circuit would probably work — it relied on the conductivity of most water to supply enough current to a bipolar transistor’s base to turn it on.
It is easy to overthink something like this, so I told my friend he should go …read more
