A new study of large existing patient datasets indicates genetic and demographic factors that increase the risk for developing AMD. In the study, recently published in Nature Genetics, a team of scientists worked with the Million Veteran Program (MVP) of the VA Office of Research and Development, a large biobank of veterans recruited at more than 60 U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) medical centers nationally, to examine demographic, lifestyle, clinical and genetic risk profiles for AMD.

Today, nearly 20 years after his death, the Stanton Foundation carries that legacy forward.

But a new study from Case Western Reserve University exposes a critical but underreported element of the illegal drug market: so-called "peer-brokered" sales. Peer-brokered sales, in which people buy drugs for others within their social circles and take a cut--either as a share of the drugs or money by inflating the price--play a widespread and vital role in the distribution of illegal substances, according to the new study.
