Mr. Bono and his former wife Cher were a popular rock-and-roll singing duo in the 1960s and 70s. Sonny and Cher sang the hit songs: The Beat Goes On, I Got You Babe and they hosted a top rated variety show on television.
Sonny Bono entered politics in the 1980s as a Conservative Republican. He served one term as mayor of Palms Spring, California before winning a seat in the U.S. Congress in 1994. Press Secretary Frank Conen says Sonny Bono made his mark on Capitol Hill. Sonny Bono died at 62.
How did Sonny Bono die？
American doctors say that mothers who smoke before their babies are born may slow the growth of their babies' lungs. They say reduced lung growth could cause the babies to have breathing problems and lung illness later in life. Doctors in Boston, Massachusetts studied 1,000 children. The mothers of some of the children smoked, the other mothers did not. Doctors found that the lungs of the children whose mother smoked were 8% less developed than the children whose mothers did not smoke, and that the children whose mothers smoked developed 20% more cold and breathing illness than other children later in life.
Another recent study found that children had a greater chance of developing lung cancer if their mothers smoked. The study also showed that the danger of lung cancer increased only for sons and not for daughters, and that the father's smoking did not affect a child's chance of developing lung cancer.
Mother who smokes before their child is born may______.
Here are come of the biggest developments in medicine that can be expected over the next quarter-century.
1. Diagnosing ailments will be simpler, faster, more accurate and cheaper, using noninvasive scanners, teleconferencing and the Internet. Farther down the track—perhaps 10～15 years—are biochips, which will monitor your DNA and analyze it for genetic anomalies that could bring you fatal diseases or have and adverse reaction to certain drugs. You could then make lifestyle. changes enabling you to avoid exposure to conditions or substances known to trigger the disease.
2. Advances in molecular biology mean that scientists now know more than ever about the genetic causes of disease and how to garget them. Over the next decade or so, enzyme inhibitors and gene therapy will make great inroads against different kinds of cancer, heart disease and even brain diseases such as Alzheimer's. The surgeon of the future may look back on the present ear with the same sense of distaste as his present counterpart views the blood-soaked sawbones of the 19th century. In the coming decades, surgery will be carried out only as a last resort and as minimally as possible. Robots will help perform. long or tricky operations such as organ transplants. Nano-probes may be used to clear the arteries free of dangerous plaque build-ups. Another possibility: microchip implants and transplants into the central nervous system to help treat disease like brain tumors, epilepsy, movement disorders and stroke.
3. Outbreaks of disease that previously were localized have the ability to spread quickly, thanks to modern jet travel; a person incubating a new strain of flu in one continent can take it to another in a matter of hours. In addition, feeding and housing a population of six billion has brought Man into closer and closer proximity to animals and rain forests, exposing humans to viruses that "leap" the species barrier, such as mad-cow disease and hemorrhagic fever.
On the hand, microbiology and epidemiology are so advanced that scientists can now quickly spot a new disease (AIDS was detected only three years after it was fist identified) and find out how it is transmitted. This can help in the development of preventative measures, although finding a cure or a vaccine are different matters, as the elusive search for a "silver bullet" against AIDS has shown. In wealthy western countries, the risk to life may be lifestyle. Obesity and depression, caused by excessive eating, loneliness and alienation, may become the twin biggest causes of death.
