Visitors to Munich's world-famous Oktoberfest beer festival will soon be in for a nasty surprise if they decide to spark up a smoke to go with that ale starting next year, they could face a hefty fine.
The city's fun-loving residents have voted in favor of a draconian new smoking ban that applies throughout the south German state of Bavaria. And the move has prompted calls for a new blanket ban on smoking across the whole of the country.

ScienceDaily (July 7, 2010) The concept of pregnancy makes no sense -- at least not from an immunological point of view. After all, a fetus, carrying half of its father's genome, is biologically distinct from its mother.
The fetus is thus made of cells and tissues that are very much not "self" -- and not-self is precisely what the immune system is meant to search out and destroy.

President Bill Clinton's stamina kept him so keyed up as he travelled around the world recently that it seemed hard to keep up with him, or figure out where we would see him next.

Clinton seemed to blame his recent heart troubles -- he was fitted with stents to reopen a clogged artery on a lack of sleep.

Angina (say: "ann-ji-na") is a squeezing pain or a pressing feeling in the chest. It is most often caused by blockages in the arteries that supply blood to your heart. This is called coronary artery disease, or heart disease. The symptoms you describe to your doctor will help your doctor decide if you need to be tested for heart disease. Your doctor will also check for any conditions that can increase your chance of heart disease. These conditions include:

  • high blood pressure
  • diabetes
  • smoking
  • high cholesterol level
  • menopause in women
  • family members who have had heart disease at a young age
If you have heart disease, your angina can be treated by treating the heart disease.

You have an allergy when your body overreacts to things that don't cause problems for most people.
These things are called allergens. Your body's overreaction to the allergens is what causes symptoms (see the box below for a list of symptoms). For example, sometimes the term "hay fever" is used to describe your body's allergic reaction to seasonal allergens in the air, such as grass or pollen.
Keeping a record of your allergy symptoms over a period of time can help you and your doctor identify which allergens cause you to overreact.

A blood test during pregnancy could one day replace more invasive tests for Down's syndrome, say researchers.


High-risk women are currently offered an amniocentesis test, which carries a risk of miscarriage.


But Dutch researchers told a fertility conference they are on the verge of developing an accurate way of testing the mother's blood for chromosome disorders in the foetus.

Belly fat, the bulge that peeks over the top of the pants, manifests itself into heavy midsection rolls or becomes lovingly referred to as a beer belly, becomes more difficult to battle as you age. It is estimated that 50 percent of adult Americans carry unhealthy supplies of fat around their middle.
Some are more predisposed to weight gain in the abdomen, which makes it twice as difficult to keep it at bay. But that extra weight attaché front and center can have dire consequences.
