LONDON ROAD, ENGLAND, February 13, 2011 (Press-News.org) British Airways has launched its new city breaks campaign for 2011 with more than 45 city breaks up for grabs.

Destinations available in the 'Around every corner is a new adventure' Sale include popular favourites like Las Vegas, Lisbon, Stockholm, Marrakech and Gothenburg, making Easter breaks, Mother's Day, the Royal Wedding and May bank holidays an easy reality.

A highlight of the new campaign are the hotels in Las Vegas which can now be selected by theme for those looking to holiday in the gambling capital but stay in Paris, New York or Ancient Rome.

British Airways will also be launching a new route on March 27th to Marrakech, where the city's bustling main square comes to life in the evenings, with entertainment from snake charmers, storytellers, dancers and acrobats and local cuisine available from dozens of food stalls.

In Europe, travellers can enjoy two night city breaks including hotels in Rome like the 3* Giotto which includes continental breakfast and return BA flights from Gatwick, or a cultural break in Budapest or Prague. Malaga is another of the options available for customers looking for a short weekend break, as it is easily combinable with the new London City to Malaga flights which will be launching on June 7th, or the airline's 28 flights per week from Gatwick.

For those looking to bag a bargain, retail therapy in the US has become even easier with city breaks in New York, Boston, or fly-drive holidays in California. Further afield the airline offers an increased range of holidays in Abu Dhabi, Hong Kong or Buenos Aires which will become a non-stop direct service as of March 27th.

The new city breaks campaign finishes midnight February 28, 2011 and all offers can be found on ba.com/cities.

Advanced macular degeneration is associated with an increased risk

2011-02-10

Older people with late-stage, age-related macular degeneration (AMD) appear to be at increased risk of brain hemorrhage (bleeding stroke), but not stroke caused by brain infarction (blood clot), according to research presented at the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference 2011. "Other studies have found there are more strokes in older individuals with late AMD, but ours is the first to look at the specific types of strokes," said Renske G. Wieberdink, M.D., study researcher and epidemiologist at Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. ...

Diet soda may raise odds of vascular events; salt linked to stroke risk

2011-02-10

Even if you drink diet soda — instead of the sugar variety — you could still have a much higher risk of vascular events compared to those who don't drink soda, according to research presented at the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference 2011. In findings involving 2,564 people in the large, multi-ethnic Northern Manhattan Study (NOMAS), scientists said people who drank diet soda every day had a 61 percent higher risk of vascular events than those who reported no soda drinking. "If our results are confirmed with future studies, then it would suggest ...

Ischemic stroke hospitalizations decline in middle-aged, elderly, increases in young

2011-02-10

The number of acute ischemic stroke hospitalizations among middle-aged and older men and women fell between 1994 and 2007, but sharply increased among those under age 35 — including teens and children — according to research presented at the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference 2011. Analysts at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), reviewing hospitalization data by age and gender, identified declining rates of 51 percent in girls 0-4 years and 25 percent in men and 29 percent in women over 45. However, the number of ischemic ...

2011-02-10

Treating mild strokes with the clot-busting drug approved for severe stroke could reduce the number of patients left disabled and save $200 million a year in disability costs, according to a study presented at the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference 2011. Researchers analyzed hospital records from 437 patients diagnosed with mild ischemic stroke at 16 sites in the Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky region in 2005. The patients arrived at the hospital within the 3.5 hours, well within the 4.5 hour window for treatment with intravenous tissue ...

According to the American Stroke Association, stroke accounts ...

Neural mechanisms linked with vulnerability to anxiety

2011-02-10

New research examines the anxious brain during a fear conditioning task and provides insight into why some individuals may be more or less prone to anxiety disorders. The study, published by Cell Press in the February 10 issue of the journal Neuron, reveals neural mechanisms that may contribute to resilience against pathological fear and anxiety. The findings may help to direct therapeutic strategies for individuals who suffer from chronic anxiety as well as strategies that could help "at risk" individuals avoid developing anxiety disorders. Previous studies have implicated ...

Communication breakdown: Early defects in sensory synapses in motor neuron disease

2011-02-10

New research using a mouse model of the motor neuron disease spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) reveals an abnormality in the way that sensory information is relayed to motor neurons in the spinal cord. Importantly, this disruption in communication occurs very early in disease progression and precedes the neuronal death and muscle weakness that are the hallmark of the disease. The study, published by Cell Press in the February 10 issue of the journal Neuron, suggests that therapeutic strategies designed to improve communication at these spinal synapses might help to slow or ...
