The Best of Pravda
Once again, Russia Makes It Not Funny.
How Will This Work?
They claim an ointment for heart disease.

The Muslims are going to use satellite imagery to determine certain holidays with precision. I did not know that religious observances needed to be timed to the nano-second, but if that's what they want, then, "Heh!"
But that which aids also takes away. You know that probe that is going to take a shot at a comet and test the ejecta? Well, turns out someone is not happy about that.
The Greek authorities are taking steps to locate the consumers who purchased Chinese-made electrical irons. As it turned out, the devices can be a clear and present danger to consumers. Three persons have been already killed by an electric shock while trying to use the deadly irons.So, where again is the humor in dead people?
How Will This Work?
They claim an ointment for heart disease.
As a result of the experiment, the researchers got tiny one-micron vesicles that open only when contact diseased cells and let the active drug in. These vesicles are part of the ointment. The cardiologist adds that traditional post-infarction medications are not really effective as they do not get inside of diseased heart cells.OK, I understand the mirco-vesicles targeting the medication to damaged tissue, but how are you supposed to transport them from the chest to the heart muscle?
Damaged cells as a rule mortify and cover the heart surface with scars thus breaking the normal heart function. Doctors believe the new ointment may solve the problem. Cardiologist Mansharipova says patients should apply the ointment to any part of the skin of 2 cm in size. The steady effect of the ointment is 24 hours.

In the meantime, Russian astrologer Marina Bai demands NASA's project to bomb Tempel 1 comet should be canceled and banned. The astrologer believes that the plan of the US space agency is an attempt against the natural life in space, which might break the natural balance of the Universe. Marina Bai filed a lawsuit against NASA seeking the protection of her moral and life values.I'm thinking Marina Bai may be in the vodka a little too much.
