Taking clarithromycin concurrently with certain statins (a class of drugs used to reduce blood serum cholesterol levels), increases the risk of side effects, such as muscle aches and muscle break down (rhabdomyolysis).
For more than a century, California grew quickly nearly every year, earning a reputation as one of America's most desirable places to live. From 1900 to 2004, the average annual population growth in the state was about 3 percent, more than double the national average. Only three times during that 100-year period did California's population fail to grow by at least 1 percent. That has changed. Last year marked the 11th in a row in which California's population grew by less than 1 percent, according to a Sacramento Bee review of data from the state Department of Finance.
New estimates indicate 80.7 percent of Americans now reside in urban areas, up from 79 percent in 2000. Population density for these areas varies greatly, ranging from about 400 residents per square mile to more than 5,000 in larger cities. California is home to a significant number of the nationâs most densely-populated urbanized areas. Of the top 50 areas with the highest population density, all but 15 are located in the Golden State.
