Fish oil given intravenously to patients in intensive care has many benefits,

study finds

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/01/100118204043.htm

A randomized controlled trial of fish oil given intravenously to patients in

intensive care has found that it improves gas exchange, reduces inflammatory

chemicals and results in a shorter length of hospital stay. Researchers

investigated the effects of including fish oil in the normal nutrient solution

for patients with sepsis, finding a significant series of benefits.

There was a piece written in the Science section of yesterday's NYT. Biogen has a drug ready for trial soon that can repair / grow mylen sheath that covers nerves. The target market is MS patients. I'm not sure if it is helpful or something to keep an eye on during trial. It was interesting to me especially after reading mylen related email in here yesterday
