Recreational drug use may be a factor in a significant proportion of admissions to cardiac intensive care, with various substances detected in 1 in 10 such patients, suggest the findings of a multicentre French study published online in the journal Heart. Drug use was also associated with significantly poorer outcomes, with users nearly 9 times as likely to die or require emergency intervention as other heart patients while in hospital, and 12 times as likely to do so if they used more than one drug.

KIEV, March 29 -- Ukraine aims to increase the share of renewable energy in its power generation to 50 percent to boost energy security, the country's Energy Minister Herman Galushchenko said on Wednesday. "We must strengthen the development of renewable energy sources and accelerate the energy transition. This is a matter of national security and the safety of electricity transmission," Galushchenko was quoted as saying by the energy ministry's press service. Shifting to green energy will allow decentralizing electricity generation, reducing the vulnerability of the power system, and increasing the security of energy supplies, Galushchenko said.

Barometric pressure over the Gisborne-East Coast region hit a new high yesterday with two 'highs' uniting over the country. The system that was to the west of the South Island has merged with the previous slow-moving 'high'to the east, creating one very large area of high pressure. The reading at Gisborne airport yesterday mid-morning was 1035 hectopascals, which is very high for the time of year. Normally such pressures are only reached at the height of summer, and is another sign of the huge influence the ENSO (El Nino/Southern Oscillation) has on our weather.

Right at the bottom of the deep sea, the first very simple forms of life on earth probably emerged a long time ago. Today, the deep sea is known for its bizarre fauna. Intensive research is being conducted into how the number of species living on the sea floor have changed in the meantime. Some theories say that the ecosystems of the deep sea have emerged again and again after multiple mass extinctions and oceanic upheavals. Today's life in the deep sea would thus be comparatively young in the history of the Earth.

A group of Waipaoa residents is calling on the district council to fix their rural road after silt from cleared drains turned their thoroughfare into 'greased lightning'. David Hunt lives about 20 kilometres out of town on Branson Rd, an area that was severely impacted by Cyclone Gabrielle. But after the floodwaters subsided, residents have been confronted with a new issue — slippery roads. A digger, which cleared culverts following  the cyclone in February, dumped the silt on the side of the road.

MANILA -The Philippines and Australia are revving up efforts to strengthen cooperation in various sectors, especially transportation, mineral resources and agriculture technology, encouraged by the issuance of the rules implementing the law that liberalizes key public service businesses. The National Economic and Development Authority released the implementing rules of the amended Public Service Act on March 20 and they will be in force starting April 4. The amended Public Service Act has allowed full foreign ownership of businesses in industries such as airports, railways, toll roads, expressways and telecommunications.

A new study from UCLA Health researchers finds that the typical ways health systems store and track data on children receiving emergency care miss a sizable portion of those who are having self-injurious thoughts or behaviors. The researchers also found that several machine learning models they designed were significantly better at identifying those children at risk of self-harm. Amid a nationwide youth mental health crisis, mental health providers are trying to improve their understanding of which children are at-risk of suicide or self-harm so providers can intervene earlier.

Heading into last week's game off the back of consecutive wins, Wests Tigers produced another determined effort against the competition heavyweights to hold South Sydney to just one try through 70 minutes before letting it slip late on, with the 20-0 scoreline in the end perhaps not painting a full picture of the contest. It did, however, highlight the continued struggles in attack for Wests Tigers, who have now scored just 136 points through 11 rounds and remain bottom of the Telstra Premiership ladder as a result of their shut-out last Saturday.
