| Obese people who have bariatric surgery to reduce weight generally see their cholesterol, blood pressure, and other heart-related risk factors improve afterward as the pounds come off. But ironically, obese people with a history of coronary artery disease often aren't referred for this surgery by their primary-care doctor or even by cardiologists for fear that they're risky candidates for a major operation. The concern is unnecessary, according to a study released yesterday in Mayo Clinic Proceedings. |
| Thu, 8 Sep 2005 08:00:00 EST Rehnquist laid to rest |
| The late Chief Justice William Rehnquist was remembered today in an affectionate and celebratory funeral service at Washington's St. Matthew's Cathedral as a man of humor, intelligence, and faith who chose to define his life not by 33 years of service on the court but by a lifetime of devotion to family–his late wife, Nan, and their three children and nine grandchildren. |
| Thu, 8 Sep 2005 08:00:00 EST The summit that wasn't |
| Call it the summit that wasn't. Today was supposed to be the day President Bush hosted the leader of a nation often described as the world's next great superpower. But Hu Jintao, the president of China, canceled his carefully planned trip to Washington and the Pacific Northwest in light of the Bush administration's evident distraction with the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and twin openings that Bush (and the Senate) must now fill on the U.S. Supreme Court. In other words, the spotlight this week couldn't possibly have stayed on China given the issues hitting the administration just now. |
