Potassium Linked to Fewer Strokes in Older Women
Post Date: 2014-09-12 22:52:40 by Tatarewicz

WebMD THURSDAY, Sept. 4, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Could eating foods rich in potassium, such as bananas and potatoes, help lower the risk of stroke and an earlier death for older women? Possibly, suggest the findings from a new study. But the research is too preliminary to confirm that potassium alone -- and not a better overall diet -- actually plays a major role in helping women avoid strokes and live longer. However, the study's findings were significant enough for one of the study's co-authors to make this recommendation: "Postmenopausal women should eat more potassium-rich foods, such as fruits, vegetables, beans, milk and unprocessed meats in order to lower their ...
Scientists discover how to 'switch off' autoimmune diseases

ScienceDaily... Scientists have made an important breakthrough in the fight against debilitating autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis by revealing how to stop cells attacking healthy body tissue. Rather than the body's immune system destroying its own tissue by mistake, researchers at the University of Bristol have discovered how cells convert from being aggressive to actually protecting against disease. The study, funded by the Wellcome Trust, is published in Nature Communications. It's hoped this latest insight will lead to the widespread use of antigen-specific immunotherapy as a treatment for many autoimmune disorders, including multiple sclerosis (MS), type 1 ...

LONDON, Sept 11 (Reuters) - A new cancer-zapping therapy for which a British couple took their child to the Czech Republic amid an international police hunt and media storm can be highly effective, experts say, but is only suitable for rare tumors. The parents of British five-year-old Ashya King, who has a brain tumor, ignored medical advice, removed him from hospital and left the country at the end of August, saying they wanted to take him to a private clinic in Prague for proton beam therapy - a type of radiotherapy not currently available in Britain. The couple were detained in Spain after an international manhunt that drew condemnation in British media, separated from their sick son ...
Open Inguinal Hernia Repair
Post Date: 2014-09-11 23:29:41 by Tatarewicz
2 Comments
Medscape... Inguinal hernia repair is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures in the world. Most surgeons now prefer to perform a tension-free mesh repair. The Lichtenstein tension-free hernioplasty is currently one of the most popular techniques for repair of inguinal hernias. Indications and contraindications The existence of an inguinal hernia has traditionally been considered sufficient reason for operative intervention. However, the following considerations should be taken into account: Some studies have shown that the presence of a reducible hernia is not, in itself, an indication for surgery and that the risk of incarceration is less than 1% Symptomatic patients ...

TOKYO, Sept. 10 (Xinhua) -- Researchers in Japan have developed a new sensor system which could detect heart rate by amplifying weak pulse from skin surface on back. A research group led by Tsuji Toshio, professor of Hiroshima University, unveiled the research result on Monday. The sensor system uses oscillator to detect microvibration signals that the heart beats send to muscles and bones on the back. In addition, the sensor is wrapped with polyester of 2 cm thick to filter high frequency noises such as speaking voice and vibration of running vehicle. Moreover, microphone in the sensor system could shift signals detected by oscillator into heart sounds, which are the noises generated ...
It Ain't Necessarily So: Why Much of the Medical Literature Is Wrong

In 1897, eight-year-old Virginia O'Hanlon wrote to the New York Sun to ask, "Is there a Santa Claus?"[1] Virginia's father, Dr. Phillip O'Hanlon, suggested that course of action because "if you see it in the Sun, it's so." Today many clinicians and health professionals may share the same faith in the printed word and assume that if it says it in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) or JAMA or The Lancet, then it's so. Putting the existence of Santa Claus aside, John Ioannidis[2] and others have argued that much of the medical literature is prone to bias and is, in fact, wrong. Given a statistical association between X and Y, most people ...

Beta-Blockers in Patients With Heart Failure and AF

Medscape On clinic days, I sometimes keep a running tally of how many drugs I prescribe and how many I stop. It's usually more than five to one—in favor of stopping. When I do prescribe medication, it is often beta-blockers. If a doctor could have a favorite class of drugs, mine would be beta-blockers. I like their wide therapeutic window; I like their proven safety record; and this: my patients here in suburban America are more often than not overserved on catecholamines. But the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) 2014 Congress sessions were hard on these chemicals. Two abstracts in particular challenged conventional thinking. Interestingly, and this is a point I will ...

Food companies spend enormous sums trying to convince consumers their low-calorie and no-calorie, products can improve health. But research shows these concoctions interfere with metabolism and can cause serious harm. Consider the results of drinking and eating food containing artificial sweeteners. For decades, soft drink companies and other food manufacturers have launched ad campaigns touting the alleged benefits of these artificial ingredients. To many folks, the logic of avoiding sugar and depending on sweeteners like aspartame and saccharin is enticing. In theory, these chemicals allow you to get the delightful taste of a sugar-substitute while dodging the weight issues linked to ...

Medscape... Blood-derived therapies and convalescent serum may be used for the treatment of Ebola virus disease, and all efforts must be invested in helping affected countries use them safely now, a group of more than 200 experts convened by the World Health Organization (WHO) concluded today after a 2-day meeting at WHO headquarters in Geneva. Studies suggest that blood transfusions from Ebola survivors might prevent or treat Ebola infection in others, the WHO notes in meeting documents. "With the negative point that we have so many patients, one positive point is there are also many people now who are convalescent, who survived and are doing well. These people can provide blood, ...

Stock Gumshoe... Nick Hodge has been focusing a lot on biotech-ish companies for his Early Advantage newsletter lately, and they usually end up being pretty early-stage stocks with good stories about some kind of breakthrough or unique compound or device and no real financials yet (meaning, little to no revenue or earnings) — just the kind of thing that can can get an investor’s imagination fired up. The story is that Nick Hodge interviewed Montel Williams, the former TV talk show host who has Multiple Sclerosis and who was one of the patients who tested the device made by this “secret” company, with excellent results. The interview also included the CEO of the company, ...

A lot of people have been asking me recently how to prepare for either a hunt or shooting competition at altitude. It’s never fun getting to altitude and suffering from altitude sickness or missing out on a day of hunting or competition because you aren’t feeling well. We all know that altitude affects even the best of us and it takes some proper planning to be able to perform at your best. With the 2014 Rocky Mountain 3-gun World Shoot under way and big game hunting seasons rapidly approaching this fall, many people are wondering how they are possibly going to prepare and ...

Poor Sleep Quality Linked to Cortical Atrophy

Medscape... Poor sleep quality is associated with brain atrophy over time, a new study shows. The relationship increases with age but isn't explained by variations in physical activity, body mass index (BMI), or blood pressure, researchers conclude. To date, most research in this area has been on people with insomnia and has looked at brain volume at only 1 time point. This new study differed in that it included people with no pre-existing sleep problems and looked at change in brain volume over time as well as in cross-sectional analyses. "We found that there was a greater decline associated with poor sleep over quite widespread brain regions," lead study author Claire ...
