   "Higher" is the first single released from Creed's 1999 album, Human Clay. Vocalist Scott Stapp and singer/songwriter Steven Harang wrote the song about the power of lucid dreaming. "Higher" was Creed's major breakthrough hit which helped to place them firmly in the American mainstream music scene. It peaked at number seven on the Billboard Hot 100 on the issue dated July 22, 2000, and spent 57 weeks upon the survey, which is the longest stay for any Creed song on the Hot 100. Furthermore, it topped both the Modern Rock and Mainstream Rock tallies in the process, setting a then-record of 17 weeks for longest stay at the top of the Mainstream Rock chart. It also charted in the top five on the Adult Top 40 chart.

   Currently, a woman who suffers a heart attack has a higher risk of dying than if she were male. This study found that differences in treatment may be contributing to this increased risk, although further research is required, this is potentially an important finding because it suggests that the higher risk in women may not just be due to biological differences from men. Ensuring that women who suffer a heart attack receive the correct treatment, without delay, is likely to lead to improved survival.
