A round up of today's other Health stories in brief...
Singapore may legalise kidney trade
Singapore may legalise the trade in human kidneys for transplants, its health minister, Khaw Boon Wan, has said.
The health ministry is considering paying unrelated donors to boost the supply of organs, Khaw said. "We should not reject any idea just because it is radical or controversial. We may be able to find an acceptable way to allow a meaningful compensation for some living, unrelated kidney donors, without breaching ethical principles or hurting the sensitivities of others."
Khaw said the ministry would review possible changes to current legislation to allow payments for donations from third parties such as those from the charity and religious sectors. Under the proposal, patients would also get help in finding donors.
Nurses untrained in heart disease
Some nurses in Britain lack basic training in treating heart disease, according to a new poll. More than one in four are uncomfortable seeing patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) while one in eight has never had any basic training in it.
The poll of more than 800 primary care nurses was carried out for the journal Nursing In Practice.
Working out like a top footballer
Drumming in a rock concert puts the performer through a workout as gruelling as a Premier League footballer endures during a match, exercise scientists have said.
An eight-year study involving Blondie's Clem Burke found that drumming over 90 minutes lifted his heart rate to the same level as Cristiano Ronaldo's in a league game, with Burke's heart averaging 140-150 beats per minute.
