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...

New Relationship Jitters: Why It’s Okay to Be Wrong.

By SARA ECKEL. Once met a couple whose relationship began with a false start. The pair, let's call them Kate and Jake, went on a first date. Jake said he'd be in touch, and then proceeded to be silent for two weeks. When he finally did reach out, an irritated Kate said, "Let's just end this before it starts." A few years later, they bumped into each other on the street and decided to give it another shot. Now they're married. Kate and Jake's story begs an interesting question: Was Kate wrong to end things the first go-around? Since I've started writing about dating and relationships, I've noticed that I've received many variations on the same question: How do I know? How do I know she likes me? How do I know he's the one? How do I know I won't get hurt? Of course, the answer is: You don't. Kate thought she "knew" that Jake wasn't husband material because he blew her off—a pretty reasonable assumption. But obviously, sh...
