Identifying at-risk patients for adverse smoking outcomes: Models developed from cancer screening trial may help

Posted: 26 Oct 2012 02:30 PM PDT

Risk prediction models developed from an ancillary study of the Prostate Lung Colorectal and Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial may be useful in the public health sector for identifying individuals who are at risk for adverse smoking outcomes, such as relapse among former smokers and continued smoking among current smokers, and those who may benefit from relapse prevention and smoking cessation interventions, according to a new study.

Inhaled anesthesia affects children's brains more than intravenous anesthetic, study shows

Posted: 26 Oct 2012 02:29 PM PDT

Researchers have found that children's brains are more affected by an inhaled anesthetic than an intravenous anesthetic with increased levels of brain lactate. Lactate increases brain activation and may lead to metabolic changes associated with anxiety and delirium. The findings provide new clues to metabolic changes within the brains of children undergoing anesthesia and could help researchers understand why general anesthesia may be potentially harmful to the developing brain.
