Regular aspirin use may slow progression of early emphysema

Regular use of aspirin may help slow the
progression of early emphysema,
according to new research presented at
the 2015 American Thoracic Society
International Conference.
Nowadays, emphysema is included in a
group of diseases called chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD),
which includes chronic bronchitis.
"In our large general population sample,
we found that regular aspirin use (three or
more days per week) was associated with
a slower progression of percent
emphysema on computed tomography
(CT) scans over 10 years."
The study, which was motivated by
findings of pulmonary vascular
involvement in emphysema and the
importance of platelet function in other
vascular diseases, included 4,471
individuals participating in the Multi-
Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis Lung
Study.
The percentage of lung volume with
emphysematous features (percent
emphysema) was assessed on up to 4 CT
scans performed over approximately 10
years of follow-up.
Median baseline percent emphysema was
2.92 with a mean increase of 0.83% over
10 years. The participants who regularly
used aspirin, compared with those who
did not, had a significantly slower
progression of percent emphysema (–
0.36%; 95% CI, –0.63 to –0.09) across 10
years.Aspirin use may slow development of

Windows 10 now on 600 million machines.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella told shareholders that Windows 10 has now passed 600 million monthly active users, picking up 100 million since May of this year. This number counts all Windows 10 devices used over a 28-day period. While most of these will be PCs, there are other things in the mix there: a few million Xbox Ones, a few million Windows 10 Mobile phones, and special hardware like the HoloLens and Surface Hub. The exact mix between these categories isn't known, because Microsoft doesn't say. The company's original ambition (and sales pitch to developers) was to have one billion systems running Windows 10 within about three years of the operating system's launch. In July last year, the company acknowledged that it won't hit that target—the original plan called for 50 million or more phone sales a year , which the retreat from the phone market has made impossible. But at the current rate it should still be on track for somewhere in excess of 700 million use...

WZoneLite – A Pretty Cool WooCommerce Amazon Affiliate Plugin .

Everyone wants to make a million dollars by being a blogger. The promise of riches and internet fame is a big draw to doing it for a lot of people, and I’m sorry to say that the reality of being a blogger (even a professional blogger!) is not quite…as financially lucrative as all that. But that’s not to say that it can’t be –one of the best ways to start your empire is with an Amazon affiliate plugin. For me, the Amazon Associates program has been one of the biggest earners for me over the years. Not only are there CPM ads like Google Adsense (you know, the normal banner ads we all love to hate), but any time someone clicks a link from your site, you get a percentage of anything they buy while the token from your site lasts in their browser. If they buy a song, you get a few cents. If they buy a new MacBook Pro and iPhone? You get…a lot more cents. With that in mind, WZoneLite is a pretty cool WooCommerce Amazon affiliate plugin that syncs everything together s...

Battlin' billionaires: Trump campaign clashes with Facebook CEO over border wall

On Tuesday Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg criticized what he called "fearful voices" that want to build walls. Although Zuckerberg, who made his comments at a Facebook conference of developers, did not name presidential candidate Donald Trump, his remarks did not sit well with the GOP presidiential candidate's campaign. On Wednesday, Trump spokeswoman Katrina Pierson said Zuckerberg lives so far outside reality that he fails to see the detrimental effect of illegal immigration on the lives of people who live along the U.S.-Mexico border. "I think I'll take Mark Zuckerberg seriously when he gives up all of his private security, moves out of his posh neighborhood and comes live in a modest neighborhood near a border town,"Pierson said in an interview on CNBC. "And then I'm sure his attitude would change." While Trump hardly is the only Republican candidate who has ever pushed for tightened border security, USA Today noted, the billionai...
