Ozone hikes cardiovascular risk

Pollutant triggers inflammation and other changes that can heighten risk of heart attack and stroke

Web edition : Monday, June 25th, 2012

Ozone pollution appears to cause potentially dangerous changes in the heart at levels that might be encountered in the world?s most polluted cities. Scientists have uncovered signs of inflammation and heart rhythm disturbances in 23 healthy young volunteers who briefly inhaled elevated levels of ozone, the primary irritant in urban smog.

The alterations, reported online June 25 in Circulation, go a long way toward explaining population data that have started linking ozone to an elevated risk of death from heart attacks and stroke (SN: 12/11/04, p. 372).

Many air pollution scientists, ?including me, have in the past thought associations with ozone [and disease outside the lung] were really associations with particles or some other pollutant,? says Douglas Dockery of the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston. But he says the new study now directly shows ozone is causing acute ? and even chronic ? risk for heart attacks.

For two hours on separate days, toxicologist Robert Devlin of the Environmental Protection Agency in Research Triangle Park, N.C., and his colleagues exposed men and women to clean air or to air containing 0.3 parts per million ozone. On the high-ozone day, volunteers inhaled the same cumulative dose that they would have received over eight hours in a place that exceeded the U.S. federal limit of 0.075 parts per million for that length of time.

Ozone reaches such levels in Los Angeles and Houston. And heavily polluted cities such as Beijing and Mexico City have experienced peak hourly ozone concentrations approaching the raw level used in the experiment.

A growing body of data indicates inflammation underlies the progression of cardiovascular disease. In the new study, blood levels of several inflammatory agents increased after ozone exposure ? sometimes more than doubling ?throughout a period that lasted more than a day. This ?caught us by surprise,? Devlin says, and ?we think it?s one of the more important and significant findings.?

The high ozone exposure also triggered subtle changes in heart rate variability. Although small, this points to an increased risk of arrhythmias, notes EPA cardiologist Wayne E. Cascio. Ozone also altered levels of several proteins involved in blood clotting.

Usually, various biochemical players in the body?s clotting network ?keep each other fairly mellow,? says cardiologist Tracy Stevens of St. Luke?s Mid America Heart Institute in Kansas City, Mo. But in this study, she notes, ozone exposure induced changes to the clotting system that riled things up in ways ?that would make one more prone to clot.?

Most impressive, she says, ?were all those changes in markers of inflammation.? In healthy young adults, such changes shouldn?t cause harm, Stevens says. But in the elderly and persons with diabetes or heart disease, these immune system players could inflame the plaque that had been accumulating in arteries, provoking it to rupture.

When this happens, Stevens explains, the body turns on clotting in its attempt to heal what it reads as a wound. ?It?s these clots that obstruct blood flow and trigger a sudden crisis,? she says ? such as a heart attack.

Egypt on alert as election result imminent

CAIRO (Reuters) - Egypt's ruling armed forces were on alert on Sunday as fears of violence mounted in the final hours before the state election committee is to name the winner of last weekend's presidential election at 3 p.m. (1300 GMT).

Mohamed Morsy of the long-oppressed Muslim Brotherhood has already claimed to be the successor to the ousted Hosni Mubarak. Millions of his Islamist loyalists may react with fury if the run-off goes to Ahmed Shafik, a former general and Mubarak ally.

Few troops were on the streets but security officials said they were ready to respond to trouble. Government workers around Cairo's Tahrir Square, where thousands of Muslim Brotherhood supporters had gathered, were encouraged to go home for the day.

Armored vehicles were posted in the capital at the election committee headquarters and the government information office where a news conference will end an anxious week of waiting.

The result will be historic for the Middle East, but will not end power struggles between the army, Islamists and others over Egypt's future.

Morsy says he won the race to lead the biggest Arab nation, even if the generals who have been in charge since Mubarak was ousted 500 days ago are not giving up their control just yet.

The Brotherhood and liberal-minded activists who galvanized the street last year against Mubarak may react angrily if the election committee announces the winner is instead Shafik, a former air force commander and last prime minister of the old regime. Like Mubarak, every president for six decades has emerged from military ranks.

Many Egyptians, and millions across the region, would see a Shafik win as a mortal blow to last year's Arab Spring revolt, despite his assurances of also wanting an inclusive government.

"Egypt waits for the president and prepares for the worst," wrote Al-Masry Al-Youm daily in a front-page headline, referring to concerns about violence erupting. Echoing that, Al-Watan wrote: "The Brotherhood prepares the stage for Morsy, and an intense security alert in case of a Shafik win."

The new president will emerge with fewer powers than the candidates, pruned by a first round of voting in May, had expected when the army promised civilian rule by July 1.

"Everyone in Egypt is worried. The army must know the result and must have taken precautions," said Ali Mahmoud, a 44-year-old taxi driver, worried like many Egyptians that months of turmoil is not over yet. "If Shafik wins, we will have a lot of problems. If Morsy wins then protests should be less."

The ruling military council, which pushed Mubarak aside on February 11, 2011 to appease the protesters in the streets, has stripped the presidency of many powers and dissolved the Brotherhood-led parliament elected in January.

NAGGING FEARS

Yet the presidency is still a prize, even if the vote may only open a new chapter in what has been a turbulent and often bloody transition overseen by the army since Mubarak fell.

An Islamist president of Egypt would be a major milestone for the Middle East, and near unthinkable 18 months ago. It is far from confirmed, but the military, Brotherhood and other officials have given signs they expect it to happen.

Morsy, a 60-year-old, U.S.-educated engineer and political prisoner under Mubarak, declared victory within hours of polls closing last Sunday - a move condemned by the generals. In a sign of continued confidence, he has already met other groups and drafted an accord to form a national coalition government.

His party issued a statement on Saturday saying it had called on "all partners in the nation, from all movements, to take part in this national platform, to guarantee the success of what we have achieved and their active participation in rebuilding the country in the manner it deserves".

One of those involved, Abdel Gelil Mostafa of the reformist National Association for Change, told Reuters on Saturday: "We agreed on a general program, especially for if Morsy won.

By contrast supporters of Shafik, 70, who was Mubarak's last prime minister in his final desperate days, kept a low profile, although he did declare publicly on Thursday he was confident.

A victory for Shafik, who won backing in the run-off from many who decided they liked religious rule even less than a candidate drawn from the familiar military establishment, could spark protests from well-organized Islamist movements, which the army and security forces might confront on the streets.

Indicating concerns about the reaction to any result, an Interior Ministry source said: "There is tight security at vital state institutions, particularly the Interior Ministry. Any assaults will be dealt with according to the law."

However, there have been indications from senior figures in the Brotherhood and military council that they have prepared for a Morsy presidency in meetings since the election.

OLD ENEMIES

While officials deny any negotiation over the long-drawn-out process of tallying the election results themselves, there would be greater scope for compromise to defuse tension over what many have called the army's "soft coup", against parliament and the powers of the president, if Morsy is made head of state.

The Brotherhood has said it will go on protesting until the military council cancels the dissolution and a decree which gave its legislative powers to itself, the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF). But were its candidate to be confirmed in office, then the wary symbiosis between the two old enemies, seen since Mubarak was ousted, may continue in a new form.

It is a collaboration that irks many of the secular liberals who led the first wave of the uprising against Mubarak but found themselves fragmented and eliminated in last month's first round of voting, left with a difficult choice between army and Islam.

Hundreds of people were in Tahrir Square on Sunday, both those protesting against the army's refusal to give up power and supporters of Morsy. "Down, down with military rule," they chanted. Some held up posters of Morsy. The Brotherhood and others have called for an open-ended protest.

The generals have repeatedly said, both to Egyptians and to their close U.S. ally, that they will return to barracks and hand over to civilian rule. But they present themselves as guardians of Egypt's security and long-term interests and moved to block the Islamists from taking more than a share of power.

Their moves in the past 10 days to curb the presidency and hang on to a veto over legislation, as well as to claim a role in drafting a new constitution, mean that the transition process goes on even after the July 1 deadline.

Washington and the European Union, both major aid donors, have expressed concern that the military is backtracking. But both also share its anxiety over a sweeping Islamist takeover, worried about Egypt turning anti-Western and reneging on its peace with Israel, and also voicing concern for civil rights.

Violence by hardline Islamists in Tunisia, whose revolt inspired that in Egypt, has troubled many Egyptian liberals.

Key to the transition to democracy will be drafting a constitution. That work has been hostage to partisan wrangling in the now defunct parliament, where one assembly collapsed after complaints it was too Islamist and a second faces a challenge in court on Tuesday that many expect to trigger a clause in the SCAF decree letting it name a new drafting panel.

The Brotherhood has portrayed itself as a modern movement, ready to work with others and willing to respect treaties. Some supporters cite the example of Turkey as a model - a Muslim democracy with a history of military interference in politics, where devout, elected politicians have slowly asserted control.

The bearded, bespectacled Morsy was not a familiar figure to Egyptians. Some ridicule him as the movement's "spare tire"; his campaign began after a more senior leader was barred from the race. Critics say he would be a mere front-man as president, for less visible pillars of the Brotherhood behind the scenes.

Tips For How To Make The Most Of Your Home Improvement Projects

by Alison Heath

Home improvement projects come in a variety of sizes. Many people who practice feng shui believe that a desk should be placed facing a doorway, so that the person who sits there doesn?t give their power away to those who enter the door. Read on to learn more about improving your home using the ancient Chinese art of feng shui.

It?s best to have structure when doing any home improvement project. Work out the costs, the time required for your project and what the finished project will look like. This will help you avoid any unpleasant surprises and keep your project within budget.

One good home improvement project that pays dividends is finishing the basement. A finished basement adds extra living space to your home for your family. Discount stores have everything you need as far as building materials. Often, people say that the value of your home may go up thirty percent by finishing the basement.

Be sure that any wood burning stoves you purchase are EPA certified. All new stove models should have this type of certification and older ones must be tested to find out if they meet the current emission standards. You also need to think about carbon monoxide if you use a wood-burning stove. Periodically check your stove to make sure it isn?t leaking.

Once you need to replace your shingles on the roof, you should think about going with light-colored shingles for the replacement. These lighter-colored tiles help to reflect the sun?s rays, and this means a cooler, more comfortable home and less dependence on air conditioning. If you do not use your air conditioner as much, you will be able to save money.

Homes can look newer with the help of floor covering in rooms. A good flooring company can give you carpet, hardwood, tile or laminate in one day; you can also do it yourself by visiting a home store and checking out what is available.

Wipe any dust, dirt or oil from your baseboards and walls with a damp rag before you start painting them. This permits the paint to stick to the surface of the wall better and may even result in fewer coats being necessary, as well as less touching up.

Installing new lighting to dreary kitchens and bathrooms could be an affordable way to liven up the rooms. Old and outdated track lighting can be replaced with better looking lights by an electrical professional for a low cost. For example, many people love the modern, distinctive look of a pendant light or chandelier.

If you are planning to improve your home, you should learn as much as you can about doing the work on your own. As long as you?re willing to get a little dirty and sweaty, you can end up saving a ton of money. Even the smaller companies out there will charge a lot of money per hour, perhaps upwards of 50 bucks. This can certainly add up and threaten to break your budget.

Feng shui is the idea that the placement of furniture can impact your home?s energy flow and have a difference in your quality of life. Feng shui is a unique type of home improvement. It can provide your home with a whole new feel and look.

NFL Players Golf for Inspiring Minds

Several former college football players and some current NFL stars were at Avalon Lakes Golf and Country Club on Friday to help raise funds for Inspiring Minds.

The inaugural Inspiring Minds Celebrity Golf Outing included NFL players Mario Manningham (Warren Harding) of the San Francisco 49ers, who was a hero of this year's New York Giants Super Bowl victory, and A.J. Hawk of the Green Bay Packers.

Deryck Toles, Inspiring Minds' founder and executive director, is a former Penn State and Warren Harding standout.

Toles said he is honored that so many players chose to donate their time for his organization.

"We are very grateful and appreciative because they could be doing so many other things," said Toles. "They are busy, their life is crazy, they have practice, workouts and families, and they finally got off work and they spent a day, well two days, here with us. It also shows you that there are people in the NFL community that still have a heart for kids."

Since 2006, Inspiring Minds has helped inner city youth reach their goals and has provided them with resources to succeed in school. Today, Toles? vision has grown to offer after-school educational programs, college visits and financial workshops.
