| Patient selection for bilateral total knee replacement needs improvement Posted: 29 Sep 2012 11:04 AM PDT Because there are more risks with having a total knee replacement in both legs at the same time than having a knee replacement in one leg, doctors in recent years have been selecting younger and healthier patients for the bilateral procedure. Now a new study has revealed that although patients are younger and healthier than those undergoing only one-sided surgery, they are becoming sicker and some complication rates have risen. |
| Potentially dangerous new malaria mosquito identified Posted: 29 Sep 2012 11:03 AM PDT Entomologists recently discovered a potentially dangerous new malaria-transmitting mosquito. The as yet unnamed, and previously unreported, mosquito breeds in the western areas of Kenya and has an unknown DNA match to any of the existing malaria-transmitting species. |
| Clonal evolution in maxillary sinus carcinoma Posted: 29 Sep 2012 11:03 AM PDT Knowing how tumors evolve can lead to new treatments that could help prevent cancer from recurring, according to researchers. They have tracked several years of tumor evolution in a 47-year-old male patient with maxillary sinus carcinoma, a rare cancer of the sinus cavities beneath the cheeks that often requires surgical removal that is disfiguring. |
| Therapy over the phone as effective as face-to-face, study suggests Posted: 29 Sep 2012 11:02 AM PDT A new study reveals that cognitive therapy over the phone is just as effective as meeting face-to-face. |
| New European statistics released on heart disease and stroke Posted: 29 Sep 2012 11:02 AM PDT New figures released to mark World Heart Day show a significant improvement in Europe's heart health. These figures represent the first comprehensive overview of the impact of cardiovascular disease since 2008. |
| Lack of sleep leads to insulin resistance in teens Posted: 29 Sep 2012 11:02 AM PDT A new study suggests that increasing the amount of sleep that teenagers get could improve their insulin resistance and prevent the future onset of diabetes. |
| Combination of targeted treatment drugs delays resistance in melanoma patients Posted: 29 Sep 2012 11:02 AM PDT Combined treatment with two drugs targeting different points in the same growth-factor pathway delayed the development of treatment resistance in patients with BRAF-positive metastatic malignant melanoma. |
| Prostate cancer testing and treatment guidelines developed Posted: 29 Sep 2012 11:02 AM PDT New prostate cancer articles review and clarify recent updates made to the National Comprehensive Cancer Network's guidelines for the screening and treatment of prostate cancer. |
