Editor's Note: Since October 2010, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved 3 new anticoagulants that, for the first time, offer patients with such conditions as stroke in the setting of atrial fibrillation (AF), deep vein thrombosis, and pulmonary embolism a long-awaited alternative to the vitamin K antagonist warfarin. This new class of drugs, called "target-specific oral anticoagulants" (TSOACs), includes dabigatran, rivaroxaban, and apixaban. These are the first new oral anticoagulants available since warfarin was approved for use in 1954. Although these new drugs have demonstrated certain advantages to warfarin, they also have some clear disadvantages, ...

Study finds they seem to improve survival for people taking 'water pill' diuretics WebMD News from HealthDay WEDNESDAY, July 16, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Potassium supplements might boost the survival of heart failure patients who are already taking diuretic drugs, a new study suggests. Nearly 5.8 million Americans have heart failure. As doctors explain it, excess fluid can accumulate in the body when the heart isn't working properly, as happens in people with heart failure. Drugs called loop diuretics -- also called "water pills" -- help remove excess fluid, but also flush potassium, a mineral, out of the body. "For the heart failure population, diuretics ...
Journal raises concern about blood-thinning drug

Paris (AFP) - A medical journal raised concerns Wednesday about a blood-thinning drug widely used by people at risk of stroke, accusing its manufacturer of concealing safety data and regulators of laxness. A key selling point of the drug known as Dabigatran or Pradaxa was that it required no blood-level monitoring, as does competitor warfarin. Dabigatran's maker, Boehringer Ingelheim, had said the drug was better than warfarin at reducing stroke in people with irregular heart rhythm, with a similar risk of major bleeds, according to the British Medical Journal (BMJ). Based on its own probe, the journal accused Boehringer of concealing information that blood-level monitoring could ...

PHILADELPHIA, PA – The use of catheter-based thrombolysis plus anticoagulation does not significantly reduce the risk of death among patients with lower-extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) compared with anticoagulation alone, suggests a study. In fact, new observational data show that catheter-based thrombolysis may be associated with an increased risk of adverse outcomes, including higher rates of bleeding, pulmonary embolism, and intracranial hemorrhage [1]. Dr Riyaz Bashir (Temple University School of Medicine, Philadelphia, PA) and colleagues state that the higher bleeding rate, despite technological and pharmacological advances, means that catheter-directed thrombolysis ...

Fed appeals court panel says most Obamacare subsidies illegal

In a potentially crippling blow to Obamacare, a federal appeals court panel declared Tuesday that government subsidies worth billions of dollars that helped 4.7 million people buy insurance on HealthCare.gov are illegal. The 2-1 ruling said such subsidies can be granted only to people who bought insurance in an Obamacare exchange run by an individual state or the District of Columbia—not on the federally run exchange HealthCare.gov. The ruling relied on a close reading of language in the Affordable Care Act. "Section 36B plainly makes subsidies available in the Exchanges established by states," wrote Senior Circuit Judge Raymond Randolph in his majority opinion in the case ...

ScienceDaily: Scientists at the Salk Institute have identified a gene responsible for stopping the movement of cancer from the lungs to other parts of the body, indicating a new way to fight one of the world's deadliest cancers. By identifying the cause of this metastasis -- which often happens quickly in lung cancer and results in a bleak survival rate -- Salk scientists are able to explain why some tumors are more prone to spreading than others. The newly discovered pathway, detailed today in Molecular Cell, may also help researchers understand and treat the spread of melanoma and cervical cancers. "Lung cancer, even when it's discovered early, is often able to ...

CHICAGO (Reuters) - The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention "may never know" how a fairly harmless form of bird flu was cross-contaminated with a dangerous bird flu strain before it was sent to a laboratory outside of the CDC, an agency spokesman said on Monday. That's because most of the materials used in the experiment to culture the virus were discarded shortly after they were used by the scientists performing the work, which occurred in March, CDC spokesman Tom Skinner told Reuters. The CDC disclosed the bird flu incident as part of an internal investigation into the agency's mishandling of live anthrax in June, potentially exposing dozens of its own ...

Myths and Facts About Your Heart Health

During a heart attack, blood supply to heart tissue is blocked, leading to tissue death. When your heart suddenly stops functioning as a result of abnormal heart rhythms, it's called "cardiac arrest." A heart attack can cause cardiac arrest, but they are not the same. Men tend to develop heart disease earlier in life than women, but after menopause, women catch up. According to CDC statistics, in 2006 (the most recent year recorded), about the same number of American women died from heart disease (315,930) as men (315,706). Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women in the United States, killing more women than all forms of cancer combined. One in four women dies of heart ...

Medscape... NEW YORK (Reuters) - A proposal to overhaul nutrition labels on packaged foods sold in the United States does not go far enough to influence consumer choices and reduce obesity, a former U.S. Food and Drug Administration commissioner said in an article published Wednesday in The New England Journal of Medicine. David Kessler, who served as the agency's commissioner in the 1990s when the original nutrition facts label was designed, wrote that the agency needs a strategy that goes beyond just altering labels. Under an FDA proposal released in February, labels would be updated for the first time in two decades, to display calorie counts more prominently and include amounts ...

ScienceDaily... Genetics could be the key to explaining nation's levels of happiness, according to research from the University of Warwick. Economists at the University's Centre for Competitive Advantage in the Global Economy (CAGE) have looked at why certain countries top the world happiness rankings. In particular they have found the closer a nation is to the genetic makeup of Denmark, the happier that country is. The research could help to solve the puzzle of why a country like Denmark so regularly tops the world happiness rankings. Dr Eugenio Proto and Professor Andrew Oswald found three forms of evidence for a link between genetic makeup and a nation's happiness. ...
