TUESDAY, July 22 (HealthDay News) -- Patients with hepatitis C who receive a liver from a donor over age 60 aren't at an increased risk for transplant failure, death or recurrent disease within five years after transplantation, say researchers at the Washington University School of Medicine, in St. Louis.

They analyzed data from 489 adults who had liver transplants at the school between 1997 and 2006. Of those patients, 187 (38.2 percent) had hepatitis C and 302 (61.8 percent) had other indications for liver transplant.

I know, I know... another big old warning about how we over-eat.

But since it's Monday, let's think back to how we ate this weekend. Because even if we do ok during the week, most of us are over-eating, Friday through Sunday. And those of us who indulge on weekends are gaining a full ten pounds annually.
