11、m television,and the more they watch the lessthey remember.They regard television purely as entertainment,resent programsthat demand on them and are surprised that anybody should take the mediumseriously.Far from being over-excited by programs,they are mildly bored with thewhole thing.These are the
12、main conclusions from a new study of children andtelevision.The author-Cardiac Cullingford confirms that the modern child is adedicated viewer.The study suggests that there is little point in the later hours.Morethan a third of the children regularly watch their favorite programs after 9 p.m.all11-y

37、 the kidneys.And perhaps not so surprising,doctors have finallyproven that heart disease can trigger kidney destruction,too.The work,from two studies involving over 50,000 patients,promises to boostefforts to diagnoseChronic kidney disease,or CKD,is a quiet epidemic:Many of the 19 millionAmericans e

39、oubled in each of the lasttwo decades,sAnd while CKD patients often are terrified of having to go on dialysis,the hardtruth is that most will die of heart disease before their kidneys disintegrate to thatpoint,something kidney specialists have recognized for several years but isnt widelyknown,s Inde
40、ed,the new research is highlighted in this months Archives of InternalMedicine with a call for doctors who care for heart patients to start rigorouslychecking out the kidneys,and for better care of early kidney disease.7The link sounds logical.After alia,high blood pressure and diabetes are chiefris
41、k factors for both chronic kidney disease and heart attacks.But the link goesbeyond those risk factors,stresses McCullough:Once the kidneys begin to fail,something in turnlO accelerates heart disease,not just in the obviously sick or veryold,but at what he calls“a shockingly early age.McCullough and
42、 colleagues trackedmore than 37,000 relatively young peopleaverage age 53 who volunteered for akidney screening.Three markers of kidney function were checked:The rate at whichkidneys filter blood,called the GFR or glomerular filtration ratell;levels of theprotein albumin in the urinei and if they we

48、nt,often made by Englishmen to describe the strange weather conditions of theircountry,is both revealing and true.It is revealing,because in it we see theEnglishman insisting once again that what happens in England is not the same aswhat happens elsewhere;its truth can be proved by any foreigner who
49、 stays in thecountry for longer than a few days.In no country other than England,it has been said,can one experience fourseasons in the course of a single day!Day may break as a warm spring morning;anhour or so later black clouds may have appeared from nowhere and the rain may bepouring down.At midd
50、ay it may be really winter with the temperature down byabout eight degrees or more centigrade(摄 氏 度).And then,in the late afternoon thesky will clear,the sun will begin to shine,and for an hour or two before darkness falls,it will be summer.In England one can experience almost every kind of weather
