  • Bulgaria Rushes to Build Highway from Sofia to Serbian Border
    The highway connecting Bulgaria's capital Sofia with the Kalotina border crossing on the Serbian border will be ready by 2015, announced Bozhidar Yotov, head of the Road Infrastructure Agency. Yotov spoke Thursday after the first meeting of a special working group, during which Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borisov demanded from several ministries, the road agency, and several municipalities that the highway from Sofia to Kalotina should be constructed before Serbia can build its own section to the Bulgarian border, the extension of the Belgrade-Nis Highway. The newly-founded working group for "shock" highway construction includes deputy ministers of regional development, transport, environment, agriculture,...

  • Cardiac death risk increases with common ECG pattern

    EU-funded researchers in Germany have discovered that unexpectedly high numbers of people in the 35 to 54 age group show an early repolarisation pattern (ERP) on their electrocardiogram (ECG). Furthermore, people with ERP, especially men, appear to be at a higher risk of cardiac death. ECGs pick up the tiny electrical waves generated by the beating heart via electrodes on the skin and so provide information about the health of a heart. ERP is a type of wave pattern that is often seen on ECGs, and previous studies have suggested that it may be associated with a raised risk...
  • Back to school, Gran: more education lowers risk of dementia

    Researchers in Finland and the UK have established that people who continue their education have a lower risk of developing dementia in the future. The results, published in the journal Brain, are an outcome of the ECLIPSE ('Epidemiological clinicopathological studies in Europe) collaboration, which is supported in part by a Marie Curie International Incoming Fellowship. Several past studies have shown that spending more time in education - which is linked to higher socioeconomic status and a healthier lifestyle - lowers one's risk of developing dementia. However, it has been unclear whether this is because education protects the brain against dementia-related...
