Dr. Eric Prystowsky, an Indianapolis physician and a member of Guidant's medical advisory board, said patients who have defibrillators for preventive reasons might not need them replaced immediately. Others, who rely on electrical shocks from the devices several times a year, will be more likely to need replacement surgery.
"It's not a cookie-cutter approach," said Prystowsky.

This is really scary. I cannot believe this would ever happen. 2 deaths. recall of 29,000 defibrillators. I was unhappy about recall of cars. this requires all the risks of the procedure again. Guidant needs Quality Assurance lessons . Try Mcdonald or Walmart. Microsoft reliability wont do in this business.

Taking large amounts of folic acid improved the memory of older adults, Dutch scientists reported Monday in the first study to show a vitamin pill might slow the mental decline of aging. The research adds to mounting evidence that a diet higher in folate -- a B vitamin found in grains and certain dark-colored fruits and vegetables -- is important for a variety of diseases. It's proven to lower women's risk of devastating birth defects of the brain and spinal cord, and research suggests it helps ward off heart disease and strokes, too.
I always wondered if those multi vitamins which people take religiously really provide any benefits. Some of these studies are really helpful.Thaimine (B1) in protecting brain especially alcoholics and folic acid for pre-pregnant women in preventing Neurat Tube defects. Vitamin E and Vitamin C are still waiting for some studies to push their case.
