Queen's University and NUI Galway and are leading a clinical trial to investigate the possibility that statins, a drug commonly used to combat cholesterol, might help patients with acute severe respiratory failure.

Is this another boon for those magical statins or another move to expand the sales of this cash cow drug... I am in a cynical mood this morning... let's hope it works for these lung injury patients who probably do not care much about side-effects.

I couldn't view the link Jim but like you I hope it is helpful to those suffering from respiratory failure.
