Shawna,
I went to the home page of Yahoo & clicked On Health.
But when I typed in ARD, all I got was information
about respiratory disease. I tried typing in
adhesions, clinical trials, etc, but nothing came up
about the article you mentioned. Can you give me the
name of the article or forward it to me at my e-mail
address? Thanks I would appreciate it.
Take Care,
Rita
