| Chemotherapy before radiotherapy for testicular cancer could reduce long-term side-effects Posted: 16 Aug 2013 06:48 AM PDT Giving men with testicular cancer a single dose of chemotherapy alongside radiotherapy could improve the effectiveness of treatment and reduce the risk of long-term side-effects, a new study reports.  |
| More potent anti-clotting drugs with angiography may benefit patients with acute chest pain Posted: 15 Aug 2013 05:37 PM PDT In a new report in patients without artery-clearing procedures, those who had an angiography followed by prasugrel (Effient) had fewer heart attacks and strokes compared to those who had an angiography followed by clopidogrel (Plavix).  |
| New study puts a price on drug-resistant TB cases in EU Posted: 15 Aug 2013 05:36 PM PDT A new study has calculated the average cost per case of TB in the EU. The findings suggest the economic burden of TB far outweighs the costs of investing in more effective vaccines.  |
| Preventive antibiotics for tuberculosis reduce deaths among people with HIV disease Posted: 15 Aug 2013 05:35 PM PDT As part of the largest international research effort ever made to combat tuberculosis, a team of experts has found that preventive antibiotic therapy for people with HIV lowers this group's chances of developing TB or dying.  |
