Data provided by the National Library of Medicine- On call. I saw on TV that President Bush had a complete checkup and that his heart rate was 44. I know that the vice president recently got a pacemaker; why didn't the president get one, too?
- On Call. I am a subscriber to Harvard Men's Health Watch, but I am writing about my wife, not myself. She's only 58 and she's always been healthy, but over the past year she's been bothered by shaking and trembling in her hands, particularly when she

- On call. I'm a 62-year-old man in good health. I take Zocor for my cholesterol as well as a baby aspirin and several vitamins every day. My problem may seem silly, but it's really a nuisance: uncontrollable yawning. Do you have any idea why I yawn so

- On call. I've read that aspirin may help prevent colon cancer as well as heart attacks. I take an aspirin every day, and I wonder if it may also help with prostate cancer.
- On call. I notice that many restaurants have gone back to serving butter with bread, and many of my wife's friends are as well. Is butter back on the "good" list?
- On call. September 11 was an emotional day for all of us, but September 12 was a confusing day for me. I read two newspapers that reported on research in the New England Journal of Medicine. The New York Times headline said: "Prostate cancer surgery
- On call. I have arthritis of both knees. Prescription medicines didn't help and they irritated my stomach. I tried glucosamine, and it didn't do much good either. Finally my doctor sent me to a specialist, who washed out both knees with an arthroscop
