Heart failure is associated with loss of brain cells and a decline in mental processes
Australian researchers have found evidence that heart failure is associated with a decline in people's mental processes and a loss of grey matter in the brain. These changes can make it more difficult for heart failure (HF) patients to remember and carry out instructions such as taking the correct medication at the right times. The authors of the study, which is published online today in the European Heart Journal, say "our results are consistent with the observation that people with heart failure have trouble adhering to complex self-care advice, and suggest that simpler approaches to self management may be required."27 January 2012

Improving family consent in organ donation could save lives
Research published today in the British Journal of Anaesthesia suggests that organ donation rates in the UK could be increased if the current issues affecting declined consent are improved. At present, only 30% of the UK population are registered on the NHS Organ Donor Register (ODR). From 2003 to 2005, the overall consent rate for donation after brain death (DBD) was 59%. This figure remains largely unchanged with a consent rate of 63% for DBD in 2007-2009. The low consent rate for organ donation in the UK is the largest factor limiting actual organ donor.12 January 2012
