*** Resveratrol: Why It Matters in HIV
Large doses of resveratrol (found in small amounts in red wine)
made headlines recently for extending the lifespan of mice on an
unhealthy diet. This and other substances found in some wines and
foods may protect against cardiovascular disease or diabetes, and
improve the functioning of mitochondria in cells (which could reduce

*** Lung Cancer: Very High Death Rate with HIV, Huge Reduction
Possible with CT Screening for Early Diagnosis

group of patients studied recently. Researchers are finding that most
of the fatalities are due to late diagnosis; as many as 80% of the
deaths from lung cancer in the general population might be prevented
by CT screening to find the tumors early. The patients with HIV were
often relatively healthy, so doctors did not suspect that they had
cancer. [2006-12-16]
