Statins Can Protect Against Alzheimer's Disease, According To New Study
High cholesterol levels are considered to be a risk factor not only for cardiovascular disease including stroke, but also for the development of Alzheimer"s disease. Therefore, many cholesterol lowering drugs, including statins, have been developed in recent years. In addition to the cholesterol reducing effect of statins Amalia Dolga, PhD, of the University of Groningen, The Netherlands, and her co-investigators have demonstrated that statins can protect nerve cells against damage which we know to occur in the brain of Alzheimer"s disease patients. The results are published in the June issue of the Journal of Alzheimer"s Disease.

Paramedic Struck Off For Drink Driving Whilst On Call

Paramedic, Mr Jonathan Knight has been struck off the HPC Register after he was convicted of driving with an alcohol concentration over twice the prescribed legal limit. A HPC Conduct and Competence Committee heard that the registrant was driving an unmarked emergency response vehicle and was on call at the time he was stopped by police. HPC Panel Chair, Mr John Williams commented: "The panel is of the view that the registrant"s conduct fell well below the standards expected of a health professional and was a very clear breach the HPC Standards of Conduct, Performance and Ethics. "The panel takes a very serious view of the registrant"s conduct, given that the offence was committed while he was on call, and potentially could have put patients and members of the public at risk." The Panel decided to strike Mr Knight from the Register with immediate effect. Mr Knight was neither present nor represented at the hearing. Health Professions Council
