Gene detectives on Sunday announced they had found the first inherited link to common types of migraine, a finding that boosts hopes for new drugs to curb this painful and costly disorder.
Scientists from 40 medical centres pored over the genetic profiles of more than 50,000 people, comparing those who suffered badly from migraines with others who were otherwise healthy.

Tuesday, August 3, 2010 at 8:55AM Monovision is a technique to reduce the need for reading glasses or bifocals due to presbyopia. Presbyopia occurs when, as part of the natural aging process, the eye’s crystalline lens loses its ability to bring close objects into clear focus. Monovision can be accomplished with LASIK, contact lenses, and/or cataract surgery.
