But it seems that the house cats themselves have had distinctly less trouble getting humans to do their bidding, according to a report published in the July 14th issue of Current Biology, a Cell Press publication.

Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) remains a clinical management problem after treatment with highly emetogenic chemotherapy (HEC)*.

Mediterranean Diet Decreases Dementia

Research released at the International Conference on Alzheimer"s Disease suggests that adhering to a Mediterranean diet may decrease risk of dementia. It is also linked to benefits for people with high blood pressure or pre-hypertension. The study used a survey which included a cognitive assessment and food frequency questions in order to observe developments across an 11 year period. The results suggested a diet which included vegetables, grains, low-fat dairy and nuts may aid cognitive function. "The study adds weight to a growing body of evidence which suggests that a Mediterranean diet full of green leafy vegetables, oily fish and the odd glass of red wine is the best type of diet for those who want to follow a diet that can help lower their chances of developing dementia. Some studies have shown this can type of diet can reduce your risk by up to 40%." Professor Clive Ballard Director of Research Alzheimer"s Society Reference: Wengreen, RD, PHD.
