I got a little carried away at the grocery store this weekend, and as a result, I've got way too much Italian sausage left over in my fridge. So tonight, I'm going to assemble a quick pasta toss that makes the most of Italian sausage's fat and flavor without going overboard on the cased meats.
Since those links carry lots of zing, the key is to keep the rest of the ingredients sparse and simple.

Statin Drug Approved for Stroke Prevention
- In 2007, the FDA approved the cholesterol drug atorvastatin (Lipitor) to reduce the risk of stroke in patients with heart disease.
- High-dose atorvastatin may help reduce the risk of recurrent stroke in patients who have had a recent stroke or transient ischemic attack, according to a New England Journal of Medicine study.
Drug Warnings
- In 2006, the FDA strengthened the warning label for the anticoagulant drug warfarin (Coumadin) to emphasize its bleeding risks. However, warfarin is still the gold standard treatment for most patients with atrial fibrillation.
- Evidence suggests that people at risk for stroke should avoid taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen (Advil) and diclofenac (Cataflam). COX-2 inhibitors should only be used as a last resort for pain relief.

I check in daily with Dvice, not only because of its gadget coverage, but also because of its sweet sci-fi influence. So just in case you aren't familiar (and if not, why?), let me introduce you to one of Dvice's endearingly geeky contributors — and one of this year's Geeks We Love — Kevin Hall. Recent Brooklyn transplant, this geek hottie has traveled the world, seen (almost) everything, and can still say that robots are his favorite thing .

Ovarian Cancer Symptoms
Even early-stage ovarian cancer can produce symptoms, according to a 2007 consensus statement issued by the American Cancer Society, the Gynecologic Cancer Foundation, and the Society of Gynecologic Oncologists. Because ovarian cancer can grow very rapidly, early detection is extremely important. Contact your doctor (preferably a gynecologist) if you experience these symptoms on a daily basis for more than a few weeks:
- Bloating
- Pelvic or abdominal pain
- Difficulty eating or feeling full quickly
- Urgent or frequent urination
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) Increases Ovarian Cancer Risk
- Post-menopausal women who use hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for more than 5 years are 20% more likely to develop ovarian cancer than women who do not use HRT, suggests a 2007 study in the Lancet.
