The Air Force's shock and awe campaign may
soon have new meaning.
The
Defense Department will soon sanction studies on the effectiveness
of treating the 100,000 troops who
have been diagnosed with mild traumatic brain injury and it's looking to attack them through the air...or using oxygen
via hyperbaric chambers.

Posted on Wednesday, March 31, 2010 In a report
from the NEJM released late yesterday, researchers say they have found
Dutasteride, already on the market, cuts cancer risk by about
25 percent.
According to the
research, men who are considered as
an above-normal risk of developing
prostate cancer may be able to reduce their risk of developing the
disease by taking a drug commonly known as
Avodart. University Hospitals Case Medical Center's Dr. Lee Ponsky, director of
urologic oncology, said
the drug is used to shrink enlarged prostates, but was found to reduce the risk of prostate
cancer by about a quarter in high-risk men.

Posted on Thursday, March 25, 2010 It has always been the last resort, now new research says it may not help anyway.
Having a breast removed as a result of a cancer diagnosis doesn't always mean a woman will live longer according to the latest study released from breast cancer conference in Barcelona. Researchers said that in women with breast cancer, who also have genetic mutations that make them more susceptible to the disease, women appear to live just as long whether they choose treatment that preserves their breast or have a breast removal, or mastectomy.

Posted on Thursday, March 25, 2010 According to a new study released late yesterday, new data says that women who survive breast cancer and have children following treatment don't appear to be at any higher risk of dying from cancer.
The moderate revelation contradicts previous trepidation from physicians who cautioned against conception because it might spark hormonal changes in breast cancer survivors that could spur the disease's return. University Hospitals Case Medical Center's Dr. Joseph Baar, an oncologist and breast cancer expert who specializes in research and trial data, can discuss the latest findings and provide opinion on how it could impact treatment and medical recommendation from physicians.

Posted on Thursday, February 11, 2010 Former President Bill
Clinton was granted clemency yesterday...his heart given a unique version of a
belated presidential pardon.
Yesterday, former President Bill Clinton was
taken to a Manhattan hospital where he
had two stents installed in his
coronary arteries. With a former history of heart
trouble that included quadruple bypass surgery, Clinton ignored chest pains
for more than two days until having the surgery to remedy a blocked graft from
that past surgery.
