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

Dangerous sex Positions For Men

The most common cause of pénile injury is found among the variety of potentially dangerous positions used for séxual intercourse. The most popular is the ‘woman-on-top’. This type of position can result in an impact between the pénis against the female pelvis or perineum that can easily traumatize the pénile cylinders. A pénis becomes érect when the lining of the cylinder within it is engorged with blood.  A pénis fracture can occur when there is trauma to the eréct pénis, resulting in a rupture of the cylinder lining. This very painful injury is often accompanied by an abrupt, distressing cracking noise that is immediately followed by dark bruising of the pénis due to blood escaping the cylinder. In ten to 30% of pénis fractures, the urethra is damaged and blood may be visible at the urinary opening. Given these signs, an injury should be relatively simple to diagnose, right? You would be surprised, even with the unsettling sounds of a fracture occurring, many men...

AWS Battles Rivals: Advertising Campaign

Amazon Web Services has defeated IBM in a competition for lucrative federal contracts, threatened Microsoft's core businesses, and reshaped corporate technology. In the last few months, the pioneering cloud-computing unit of the online retail giant has taken a page from the playbook of some of its more traditional competitors: It started advertising. Ads have been splashed across billboards and in airport terminals, television spots and web videos, featuring a whiteboard full of sketches of software architecture and appeals to invent something using Amazon's collection of rented computing services. The advertising campaign, which bears the "Build On" tagline, represents a milestone in AWS' march from technology upstart to one of the major players in business software, technologists and marketers say. For many years, AWS didn't advertise, partly because it didn't have to. The service held a wide lead over the competition, and word-of-mouth was enough to...

Google Authenticator, a formidable layer of protection to your account.

​Google Authenticator is a free security app that can protect your accounts against password theft. It's easy to set up and can be used in a process called two-factor authentication (2FA) offered on popular social media services like Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.  The app ( iOS / Android ) generates a random code used to verify your identity when you're logging into various services. The code can technically be sent to your phone via text message every time— but the Google Authenticator app provides an extra level of security.  SMS-based 2FA has a  known security flaw , and any devoted hacker can attempt to  socially engineer  an attack against your phone company. The Google Authenticator app eliminates the possibility of an SMS-based attack  using algorithms  to generate the codes on your phone. Here's how to set it up: 1. Download Google Authenticator from either the Apple App Store or the Android Google Play store. It's free. 2. Nex...
