Show - UINTAH BASIN STANDARD. January 30. 2001 12 Fish in diet may cut the risk of stroke in women Eating flsh, even in modest amounts, can significantly reduce a woman's risk of the most common type of stroke, a mqjor new study suggests. The studyof nearly 80,000 women found that eating fish was linked to reductions in the risk of ischemic, or strokes, which account for about 83 percent of all strokes. Women who ate about 4 ounces of fish two to four times weekly cut their risk of ischemic stroke by 48 percent. Slightly higher risk reductions were found in women who ate fish five or more times weekly, but there were relatively few women in that group. Slight risk reductions were also found even in those who ate fish once a week or less. Omcga-- 3 fatty acids, found in most fish, have been shown to lower levels ofhlood fats linked to cardiovascular disease and to help keep blood thorn clotting. The fata are especially plentiful in dark, oily fish such as mackerel, salmon and sardines. While previous research largely hus focused on fish and heart disease, the new study is one of the few to examine the effect on stroke riskand to differentiate between types of strokes, said author Dr. Kathryn M. clot-relate- d, Rexrode of Harvard-affiliate- d Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. The findings appear in Wednesdays Journal of the American Medical Association. Mounting evidence about the car-- BLM improves federal ft Indian mineral resources The Bureau ofLand Management published a final rule that clarifies t lie obligationsofFederal and Indian oil and gas and operating rights owners to protect mineral resources (horn drainage. The final rule, which appears in today's Federal Register, will ensure that the Federal governments, and this America's taxpayers, are compensated for the drainage of oil, gas, and related mineral resources from Federal mineral owners. The rule w il I also protect Indian mineral owners. Drainage occurs when production from noarby wells causes the migration of hydrocarbons and related fluid mineral resources. Drainage reduces production, which, in turn, reduces the royalties owed to taxpayers from such production. While Federal and Indian oil and gus lessees liave always been required - under the Mineral Leasing Act of 1920 - to protect against dhiinagej the final rule published today identifies when a lessee's responsibilities begin and end. The final rule: Specifics that all who hold interest in the mineral record title or operatingrights are jointly and severally" liable for protecting Federal or Indian mineral resources from drainage, including the payment of any required compensatory royalties. States that the duty of a loses or operator to pay compensatory royalties for drainage begins at a reasonable time after a prudent operator could have known that drainage was occurring. Informs lessees and operators of their duty to monitor wells in the same or adjacent spacing units ( areas where no more than well will be drilled) and to gather sufficient information to determine if drainage is occurring. Informs responsible parties of their duty to protect mineral resources from drainage by drilling a protective well, be entering into a protective agreement, or by paying compensatory royalties. Clarifies the responsibilities of a Federal oil and gas lessee that has assigned its lease interest to another company for well abandonment and site reclamation. The rile authorises the BLM to require reclamation by any company that lias held a Federal lease during the life of an oil or gas well. Copies of the final rule can be obtained from anyoftheBLM's State Officers or its Washington, D.C, Office. The rule is also accessible fro the BLM's Internet Home Page l www.blm.pov) or at the Federal Web Register page The BLM administers about 49,001) oil and gas leases, of which some 25,000 are in producingstatus. Production from BLM- - managed land accounts fur about 5 percent of the nation's oil and 12 percent of its natural gas.

Some researchers have suggested that eatinglarge amounts of fish might increase the risk of hemorrhagic strokes, which occur when a blood vessel in the brain ruptures and bleeds. But the new study found that a regular diet of fish neither increased nor decreased the risk of this type of stroke, which accounts for about one-fift- h of all strokes. The researchers examined about 14 years of data on 79,839 participants in the Nurses' Health Study. The women were ages 34 to 59 in 1980. There were 574 strokes in the ensuing 14 years. The researchers took into account the womens age and whether they smoked, factors that could affect stroke risk. But other factors, such as high blood pressure, were not included. The findings thus don't exclude the fact that maybe theres a hidden .association that mightexplain the results, said Dr. LawrenccM. Brass, a Yale University neurology professor and spokesman for the National Stroke Association.
