Climate change will have detrimental effects on health in Europe
...s. The authors conclude that potential options for adaptations to reduce health impacts include strengthening public health programmes, including disease surveillance systems and vaccination programmes for diseases that are likely to become more widespread.

...o-workers have begun looking at the causes of such adaptations in the brain. They are studying some of the specific molecules involved in new mouse models. "At this point, many of the drugs that are being used therapeutically and in the treatment of addiction are being targeted to very restricted molecules," she...$5 million NIH contract to fund development of pediatric heart assist device
