LA TIMES - Jailed Cuban dissident dies in hunger strike, Jan 21, 2012

"REPORTING FROM MEXICO CITY -- A Cuban dissident serving a four-year prison term has died after staging a hunger strike to protest his incarceration, human rights groups say.
Wilman Villar, 31, died Thursday night in a hospital where authorities had transferred him after he fell ill, apparently from the effects of a seven-week hunger strike. His widow, Maritza Pelegrino Cabrales, told Human Rights Watch that prison guards had placed Villar naked in solitary confinement in a small, cold cell. Cuban rights activists said he succumbed to pneumonia.
"The responsibility for Wilman Villar Mendoza's death in custody lies squarely with the Cuban authorities, who summarily judged and jailed him for exercising his right to freedom of expression," Javier Zuniga, special advisor at Amnesty International, said in a statement.
Villar was convicted in November of "contempt" and resisting arrest when he participated in an antigovernment demonstration in eastern Cuba. Supporters of the government of President Raul Castro dismissed the little-known Villar as a common criminal."

WEBMD - Cardiac Arrest Risk Low in Marathons, Study Finds, Jan 18, 2012

marathon runners
"an. 11, 2012 -- When a runner dies during a marathon because their heart stops, it's big news -- and can be scary to the 2 million runners who participate in U.S. long-distance events each year.
However, the risk of cardiac arrest during long-distance races is relatively low, according to new research. A cardiac arrest occurs when the heart stops beating, and it's generally more serious than a heart attack.

WEBMD - Aspirin Therapy for Heart Disease, Stroke Prevention Not for Everyone, Jan 18, 2012

aspirin arranged in heart shape
"Jan. 12, 2012 -- Many people who have never had a heart attack or stroke take an aspirin every day to lower their risk for these events.
While some may benefit, for many others the benefits appear to be outweighed by an increased risk for potentially serious and even life-threatening bleeding, a new study shows.
Researchers analyzed data from nine large studies, including three published since 2007, which followed participants for an average of six years.
Aspirin therapy was not associated with a reduction in deaths due to heart attack and stroke, but it was associated with a significant increase in risk for bleeding, says researcher Kausik K. Ray, MD."
