Benefit Quotes
Participants in the two intervention groups made greater changes than those in the control group and saw the greatest benefit in blood pressure status. This shows that people at risk for heart disease can successfully and simultaneously make multiple changes in lifestyle, for a substantial benefit.
-
Action Quotes
Many countries where the disease is endemic have already taken action but they are overwhelmed by the situation and require urgent assistance. Fighting the disease in animals is key to our success in limiting the threat of a human pandemic. We know that the virus is being spread by wild birds but we need more research to fully understand their role.
-
Carriers Quotes
Like many physical diseases, anti-Semitism is highly infectious, and can become endemic in certain localities and societies. Though a disease of the mind, it is by no means confined to weak, feeble, or commonplace intellects; as history sadly records, its carriers have included men and women of otherwise powerful and subtle thoughts.

Addition Quotes
It is critical that future research test whether faulty measurement may have contributed to their findings. Also, it is well to remember that the types of research usually used to find links between lifestyle factors (e.g. diet, exercise, medication use, in addition to alcohol use) and disease later in life have a high potential for error and on their own cannot prove causation.
-
African Quotes
It is doubly important for African American women to pay attention to heart disease and stroke risk factors because the prevalence of heart disease, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases is 44.7 percent for African American women compared to 32.4 percent in white women. We want women to know their risk factors and support each other in making the right choices everyday to reduce their risks.
-
Advances Quotes
We've translated early information from genetic research into valuable medicines for HIV/AIDS, heart disease and the prevention of organ rejection. But these advances have only scratched the surface of possible revolutionary approaches to treat and cure diseases. Pfizer, the NIH and other public/private biomedical research interests have complementary missions greater than the sum of their parts. Our hope is that this public/private initiative will encourage a deeper collective understanding of the genetic factors of disease for major new therapeutic advances.

Account Quotes
We need a more comprehensive and perhaps more effective strategy in controlling acute respiratory infections, relying on several preventive interventions that take into account the multi-agent nature of infectious respiratory disease and its context (such as personal hygiene, provision of electricity and adequate food, water and sanitation),
-
Against Quotes
The aim is to identify DNA variants which play a role in susceptibility or resistance to these diseases. There may be variants that make it more likely that you will get type 2 diabetes, and other variants that have a protective effect against the same disease. With most of these diseases, we understand little about the causes. If we can learn that this gene makes you more or less susceptible, we get important clues as to how the disease works.
-
Beef Quotes
Who knows what the real situation is in cattle in the United States? And with people, we could be sitting on a time bomb, because the incubation period of this disease in humans can be up to 40 years. That's why a blood test is so important. We need to know the extent of the problem, we need to make sure that beef and the human blood supply are safe, and we need early diagnosis so that when scientists develop a therapy we can intervene before clinical symptoms appear--by then, it's too late.
-
Act Quotes
Wildlife populations can act as buffers against the spread of disease as well as sources for its emergence. Through providing a better understanding of how pathogens move among species, the field of Conservation Medicine gives us the tools we need to maintain healthy ecosystems that protect people and wildlife.
-
Beer Quotes
When it comes to infectious disease, college campuses are sort of a perfect storm - close quarters, where people are coughing and sneezing, where they are not thinking much about hygiene and think nothing of sharing a beer glass or sharing saliva via kissing. All those kinds of things that would easily spread disease happen on college campuses and probably contributed to what we saw all these cases in Iowa.
-
Afraid Quotes
Whether you look at it from the fair chase issue and say it's not fair to be able to take a farmed animal and kill it - we don't call it hunting - whether you disapprove of that or are afraid for the deer population as a whole because of disease or are just concerned about the integrity of our hunting heritage, people better go talk to their legislators.

Afternoon Quotes
We received a confirmation from WHO laboratory in Atlanta CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) this morning that the blood of the boy was positive, and this afternoon we also get confirmation from WHO laboratory in Hong Kong that the girl's blood test was also positive on bird flu.
-
Area Quotes
We can show that there are differences in the profiles of chemicals that come from the tissue, and these tissue profiles can be used to diagnose a particular disease or determine how far the disease has progressed. We reported in a previous paper, and it is highlighted in the current article, that there are differences in profiles of chemical species from the tissue, indicating a diseased area and also the margin at which that diseased area is separated from the non-diseased area of the tissue.
-
Affordable Quotes
We are committed to improving the lives of women who have or who have had breast cancer. Whether it's enhancing their family's financial security by making life insurance more affordable -- or helping them physically and emotionally recover from fighting the disease -- The Hartford wants to make a difference.
-
Active Quotes
We don't have a spread of the virus, what we have is the introduction of the virus into countries of the European Union. The difference is that it's human activities, through commerce, through the market place, through the way we raise our poultry that we get disease spread. The fact that in Europe, in many countries, it's been picked up in migratory birds, is very, very relevant, it means that the European authorities -- Italy, Greece, Germany, Denmark, Austria -- are monitoring, doing active surveillance in the wild bird population.
-
Behavior Quotes
The question is: supplementing what? People who need supplements have, basically, a disease or some dietary behavior that would leave them wanting something. It may be quite fashionable to take these things, but whether they really do anything to otherwise healthy people is dubious at best.
-
Adding Quotes
This study provides encouragement to all American men who are concerned about prostate cancer. Accumulating evidence suggests that the omega-3 fatty acids in seafood may exert a protective effect against the spread of prostate cancer. A simple step like adding canned tuna and other fatty fish to the diet can help stop the spread of this disease in men with early prostate cancer. This information may help men make wiser food choices.
