The case for statins: Has it really been made?
(Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, 2004-10)Statin drugs are a modern success story. They are the medical treatment for coronary disease and the star of the pharmaceutical industry. Worldwide, sales of statins are running at about $19 billion a year and growing ... -
A Centenary Survey of Orbits of Co-Orbitals of Jupiter
(2006-08-10)Jupiter’s Trojan asteroids fulfill the prediction of Lagrange that orbits can be stable when a small body orbits in specific locations relative to its ‘parent’ planet and the Sun. The first such Trojan asteroid was discovered ... -
Changes in pH and levels of B-glucosidase, B-glucuronidase and reducing activity as food residue passes along the mouse colon
(Journal of Nutrition, Growth and Cancer, 1985)The contents were collected from successive regions of the colon of Swiss mice. Ana(vses show that the pH rises by about 0.55 pH units between the cecum and the distal colon. The level of p-glucuronidase falls sharply, ... -

A colorimetric method for the determination of deoxyribonucleic acid in adipose tissue.
(Analyst, 1975)A method is described for measuring the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) content of small samples of adipose tissue or free fat cells. Lipids and acid-soluble nucleotides are first removed by extraction with a cold diethyl ... -
Coronary heart disease - dietary lipids or refined carbohydrates?
(Medical Hypotheses, 1983)The epidemiological evidence associating dietary lipids, refined carbohydrates and coronary heart disease (CHD) is evaluated. Population studies often show a high correlation between dietary lipid and heart disease ... -
Cross Meridian Currents in Storms and Sawtooth Events
(2006-11-17)Automated Forward Modeling (AFM) is an inversion technique based on magnetic data alone, which can indicate physical parameters associated with electrojets and field-aligned currents. From perturbations along a meridian, ... -
