CINCINNATI -- New research from the University of Cincinnati (UC) shows that a common, over-the-counter pain salve rubbed on the skin during a heart attack could serve as a cardiac-protectant, preventing or reducing damage to the heart while interventions are administered.
These findings are published in the Sept. 14 edition of the journal Circulation.
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory have helped develop a new technology that converts material dredged from the bottoms of harbors and waterways into a substance that can be made into construction-grade cement. The technology, called Cement-Lock, was developed in collaboration with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the State of New Jersey, and other government and public groups. "This technology will greatly help to increase the health of many U.S. harbors and waterways, such as the Port of New York and New Jersey," said Keith Jones, an environmental scientist at Brookhaven who took part in Cement-Lock's development. "These waterways are contaminated by metals and pollutants from many human activities, such as sewer overflow systems and discharges from industrial operations."
