Popeye was on to something. Eating just one cup of leafy green vegetables like spinach each day may help maintain muscle strength and mobility into old age.
The finding is counter to the long-held belief that 100% oxygen is better than air for babies requiring ventilation in the first few minutes of life.
The Assisted Living Federation of America (ALFA) today shared details about COMMUNITY 2012, the ALFA Conference and Expo, scheduled for May 16-18, 2012 in Dallas. COMMUNITY 2012 will bring together a global community of senior living executives for executive-level sessions, peer-to-peer collaboration, and professional networking.
Dutch-sponsored researcher Christian Althaus has used mathematical models to demonstrate that cells infected with HIV could live even shorter than was thought until now. If infected cells have a shorter lifespan then this increases the chances of the virus escaping the attention of the immune system.

The arteriovenous (AV) fistulae is considered long term vascular access for hemodialysis because it allows good blood flow, lasts a long time, and is less likely to get infected or cause blood clots than other types of access. Patients who don't have time to get a permanent vascular access before they start hemodialysis treatments may need to use a venous catheter as a temporary access.
| Patients included in arterial venous fistula and catheter summaries | 117 |
