Higher heart risk seen with Abbott dissolving stent after two years: study

Posted: 18 Mar 2017 09:26 AM PDT

Higher heart risk seen with Abbott dissolving stent after two years: studyBy Bill Berkrot WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Patients who received Abbott Laboratories' novel dissolving vascular stent had a significantly higher rate of serious adverse heart events than those treated with the company's widely used Xience drug-coated metal stent two years after implantation, according to data presented on Saturday. New guidelines for blood vessel size and proper implantation techniques put in place for the new Absorb stent since the study began, however, should lead to better results, researchers said. "The difference between Absorb and Xience when they're both implanted in properly-sized vessels with good procedural technique is likely to be quite modest and possibly not clinically important," said Dr. Stephen Ellis, director of interventional cardiology at Cleveland Clinic, who presented the data at the American College of Cardiology scientific meeting in Washington.

Cutest nosy neighbor ever is one pouncing pooch

Cutest nosy neighbor ever is one pouncing poochWhere is this dog located and is science advanced enough to clone it and distribute it worldwide? This planet needs more pups this jumpy. One very nosy pooch just had to know what was going on over its fence. And so it made that happen.  While at first it looks like this bouncy dog is on a trampoline, upon closer investigation it becomes apparent that he's probably just jumping. Like, on his own. A good six feet in the air. SEE ALSO: Extremely excited dog adorably fails his Crufts agility competition The video, posted on UK-based dog day care Safe Paws's Facebook page, is worthy of a lot of hard looks: A local woman was walking her dog when she spotted this pup having a rendezvous of his own.  The dog in question mostly looks like it's wondering why anyone is paying attention to it. "What, is this unusual? Do dogs not do this? Why are you filming me?" It can be assumed that a small crowd soon gathered, the dog signed to an agent, and it will be appearing on Britain's Got Talent in the upcoming season, possibly as the new host.
