| Surgical resection prolongs survival for patients whose melanoma has spread to the abdomen Posted: 08 Oct 2015 11:16 AM PDT Surgical removal of melanoma that has metastasized, or spread, to the abdomen appears to help patients live more than twice as long as those who receive only medical therapy, according to study results. |
| Helmeted bicycle riders have significantly reduced severity of injury after an accident Posted: 08 Oct 2015 11:16 AM PDT Helmeted bicycle riders have a 58 percent reduced odds of severe traumatic brain injury after an accident compared to their non-helmeted counterparts, according to researchers. |
| Many colonoscopy patients do not accurately recall important exam details as time lapses Posted: 08 Oct 2015 11:16 AM PDT As time lapses, many colonoscopy patients become less and less likely to recall when and where they last had the procedure performed; who the doctor was who performed it; whether polyps were found, and, if so, the number and size of those polyps, according to new study results. |
| Examining contemporary occupational carcinogen exposure, bladder cancer Posted: 08 Oct 2015 10:10 AM PDT Despite manufacturing and legislative changes to improve workplace hygiene, the risk of occupational bladder cancer appears to be on the rise in some industries, although the profile of at-risk occupations has changed over time, according to a new article. |
| First-born in family more likely to be nearsighted; priority of education may be factor Posted: 08 Oct 2015 10:10 AM PDT First-born individuals in a sample of adults in the United Kingdom were more likely to be nearsighted than later-born individuals in a family, and the association was larger before adjusting for educational exposure, suggesting that reduced parental investment in the education of children with later birth orders may be partly responsible, according to a new study. |
| Many physicians feel uninformed about diagnostic and treatment approaches for cryptogenic stroke Posted: 08 Oct 2015 06:51 AM PDT Results from a new survey finds that only half of healthcare professionals consider themselves to be adequately equipped with information about cryptogenic stroke, a stroke in which the underlying cause is still unknown after extensive testing. Depending on their specialty, 51-70 percent of physicians admit being uncertain about the best approaches to finding the underlying causes of these strokes. |
