Nikolai N. Anichkov (1885–1964) first demonstrated the role of cholesterol in the development of atherosclerosis. His classic experiments in 1913 paved the way to our current understanding of the role of cholesterol in cardiovascular disease. Anichkov’s research is often cited among the greatest discoveries of the 20th century; however, little is known about Anichkov and his team. Herein, we give a detailed historical account of Anichkov’s work, his personality, his research team, and their pioneering effort. Tex Heart Inst J. 2006; 33(4): 417–423.;Nikolai N.

CANCER
Fish Consumption Multiplies Prostate Cancer Risk
Population studies have consistently showed that people such as the Japanese who eat fish have overall better health with less heart disease and cancer than people who eat the standard American diet. It was believed that the beneficial factor was the fish, forgetting that the Japanese also eat more fruits and vegetables, much less meat and almost no dairy products. Researchers tracked the diets and prostate cancer diagnoses of 18,115 Japanese men. They found that fish intake was the only dietary factor significantly associated with increased risk of developing prostate cancer. Men who ate fish products 4 or more times per week had a 54 % higher risk of developing prostate cancer compared to men who ate fish products less than than twice per week.
