WASHINGTON Men's Nike LeBron 15 Grey Black Australia , Jan. 24 (Xinhua) -- The risk of a heart attack may be increased six-fold within the first week after detection of laboratory-confirmed influenza infection, a new study said Wednesday.

Researchers in Canada looked at nearly 20,000 Ontario adult cases of laboratory-confirmed influenza infection from 2009 to 2014 and identified 332 patients who were hospitalized for a heart attack within one year of flu diagnosis.

They found a significant association between acute respiratory infections, particularly flu, and acute myocardial infarction Men's Nike KD 6 BHM Purpe Gold Australia , according to the study published in the New England Journal of Medicine.

The risk may be higher for older adults, patients with influenza B infections, and patients experiencing their first heart attack.

The researchers also found elevated risk, albeit not as high as for flu, with infection from other respiratory viruses.

"Our findings are important because an association between influenza and acute myocardial infarction reinforces the importance of vaccination Men's Nike Zoom KD 5 Elite Low Black White Australia ," said lead author Jeff Kwong, a scientist at the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences (ICES) and Public Health Ontario (PHO).

"People at risk of heart disease should take precautions to prevent respiratory infections, and especially influenza, through measures including vaccinations and handwashing," said Kwong.

The researchers added that patients should not delay medical evaluation for heart symptoms particularly within the first week of an acute respiratory infection.

BERLIN Men's Nike KD 6 Black Jade Green Australia , Aug. 30 (Xinhua) -- It's only less than a month before the Germen federal elections day on September 24.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel is leading in polls. But the overall situation in Germany is not so good as ordinary people believe. The long-term and sustainable solutions for refugee issues, and the rise of right-wing populism, among other difficult issues, need to be addressed by Merkel and the German government.

To some extent, Germany is enjoying some best times after the 20082009 financial crisis. Its economy keeps gaining momentum for growth Men's Nike KD 7 Orange Blue White Australia , its export is robust, and economic think-tanks keep raising their expectations of Germany's GDP growth rates. Employment is booming, as Merkel in her campaign outline vowed to achieve full employment by 2025.

The sound economic situation made the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) enjoy its upper hand against the Social Democrats (SPD), a center-left party traditionally representing workers and employees and always paying attention to social justice.

But in its coalition with SPD, Merkel's center-right Union has addressed a series of issues concerning social justice and showed center-left political stances Men's Nike KD 7 Grey Pink Australia , including supporting a welfare state and legal minimum salaries, and turning off Germany's nuclear power plants. SPD has also been accused of lacking difference between itself and the Union in both domestic and foreign issues.

The latest polls showed that Merkel's CDU and its Bavarian sister Christian Socialist Union has quite a big leading edge in the support rate listings. The Forsa announced Wednesday that 38 percent of respondents would vote for the Union if the next Sunday were the Federal elections day, 14 percentage points higher than that of SPD led by Martin Schulz.

However, another issue that voters care the most, security Men's Nike KD 7 Fluorescent Green Black Australia , is quite controversial. Many German people feel that the society is no longer as safe as before, and the country are now vulnerable to sporadic terror attacks.

When it comes to security, refugee issues have to be mentioned, as some media has called as the Achilles' Ankle for Merkel. Since the summer of 2015, over 1 million refugees from the Middle East and North Africa poured into Europe Men's Nike KD 7 Red Hyper Blue White Australia , and Germany accommodated the most refugees in European Union.

Although the refugee crisis has passed with a dropped number of new refugees, and Germany managed to handle the social and economic impacts brought by over one million of refugees, but it is true that some terrorists also entered Germany and launched a series of attacks here.

Merkel admitted part of failure of the refugee policy and made some adjustments last year, however, she Men's Nike KD 7 All White Black Australia , on various occasions, including the summer press conference on Tuesday and several election campaigns, defended her decisions in 2015, and said refugees are welcome but the year 2015 would not repeat.

Merkel on Tuesday called for a long-term and sustainable solutions to refugee issues, and accused Germany's EU par.
