I remember years ago reading an account of a monk who had a tumour on his leg that grew so large it burst through the skin and became infected. Then his immune system destroyed the infection along with the tumour. Was very interesting.

I would hope promoted. What kind of loser would stay in the same position for 10 years?

But the other side is trying to amplify it and make it sound as horrible as possible.

> Statins (a class of cholesterol-lowering drugs) may be one such method, according to the new study..

Does that mean that a CPAP using sleep apnoea sufferer who does not have raised cholesterol will not gain benefit from statins? (I've been on CPAP for 25 years+ now, but my cholesterol is not raised).

> a good few years

~ 50+ years

Can we now all go vegan already?

Remove parking spaces, put trees there instead.

Why are you trying to downplay this massive issue at hand is puzzling?! Tf is your objective

Why would you not want the "pendulum to swing back" like saving the planet from catastrophe is not something everyone would benefit from in the long run

Forcing the government to do something about domestic terrorists by making them host foreign ones.

> CPAP does not improve heart health as physicians originally hoped.

and

>"CPAP also seems to have negative effects on the cardiovascular system."

This is a bit concerning, not only did they find that CPAP doesn't necessarily improve heart health, it can also have a negative impact on it. I've been a CPAP user for around a year now and it has greatly improved my quality of life, I hate to hear that it might be doing damage to my heart.

Get over yourself. The Jews spent an entire generation walking through the desert after being enslaved to the Egyptians, not to mention they were systematically rounded up in the 1940s and brutally enslaved and eradicated. In Rwanda millions died to genocide. Genghis Khan raped, murdered, and pillaged millions along the Asian country side. If you were a Neanderthal you got to watch your entire species get out competed and all your women dominated by a superior species (homo sapiens)

Humanity has constantly been subject to terrible tragedies. Today you have the opportunity to eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and have access to water. You’re not dying of famine today, tomorrow, or in the near future. Put on your shoes, stay in this fight, stay strong, we’re in for one hell of a ride.

Unless you live in a palce like the town i live in where the local news that are portrayed as something good isnt if you actually know whats being done. Stuff like "new infrastructure". Sounds good right? except its designed to be anti-pedestrian repeating same mistakes our city architect swore not to do years ago.

I mean constant headaches killed my ex wife’s and I’s marriage…

From the article: A new study by Columbia University researchers suggests that cholesterol-lowering drugs called statins have the potential to reduce heart disease in people with obstructive sleep apnea regardless of the use of CPAP machines during the night.

CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) therapy improves sleep quality and reduces daytime fatigue in people with obstructive sleep apnea. But based on findings from several recent clinical trials, CPAP does not improve heart health as physicians originally hoped.

Alternative methods to reduce heart disease in sleep apnea patients are urgently needed, because the condition is known to triple the risk of having a heart attack, stroke, or another serious cardiovascular event.

Statins (a class of cholesterol-lowering drugs) may be one such method, according to the new study, led by Sanja Jelic, MD, associate professor of medicine at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons.

The study included 87 people with recently diagnosed obstructive sleep apnea who were being treated with CPAP. The patients were randomized to receive treatment with either statins or a placebo.
