About 15,000 people received invitations to join through the mail, email or a phone call and enrolled on a website where they returned every three to six months for follow-up.
An unusual study that had thousands of heart disease patients enroll themselves and track their health online as they took low- or regular-strength aspirin concludes that both doses seem equally safe and effective for preventing additional heart problems and strokes.

HYDERABAD: With Hyderabad and many parts of the country witnessing a mad rush for Remdesivir injections, health experts point out though, a good anti-viral drug, is not a life-saving medicine for Covid-19 patients.
They, however, say remdesivir improves the health condition of Covid-19 patients if given at initial stages of infection. The World Health Organisation (WHO) had earlier declared that Remdesivir does not improve the overall outcome of Covid-19 treatment but suggested its restrictive use for patients admitted to hospitals. Several research studies also show that Remdesivir serves as an adjuvant (which improves immune response), but not a gold standard treatment for Covid-19.
