BEVERLY HILLS, CA, May 27, 2011 (Press-News.org) On October 18, 2010, 1-800-GET-THIN announced that they had joined forces with the Lifetime Network throughout the month of October, teaming up in support of Breast Cancer Awareness. The ultimate goal of the Breast Cancer Awareness campaign is to emphasize the importance of self-examinations as well as professional breast examinations and encourage them to be proactive with their health care.
It is also important for women to be educated and aware of the signs and symptoms that could indicate a health problem. When cancer is detected earlier, there may be a better chance of successful treatment for the patient.
Throughout the entire month of October, 1800GETTHIN gave away Breast Cancer Awareness items, including pink ribbons, bumper stickers for vehicles, and informational leaflets about breast cancer to all its staff members and patients. 1-800-GET-THIN and the Lifetime Network would like to encourage you to keep the pathways of communication open between you and your primary health care provider and talk about the different ways in which you can take steps to be more proactive against breast cancer.
You can be your own best advocate, be informed, and be there for those you love.

The use of placebo in rheumatoid arthritis clinical trials may negatively impact patients
2011-05-27
The results of this study, conducted in Germany, re-open the debate on whether it is ethical to conduct placebo-controlled studies where patients in the placebo-group are at a serious disadvantage compared to patients taking the new treatments. The study analysed current study designs, for new therapies such as abatacept (Orencia®), golimumab (Simponi®) or tocilizumab (Actemra®), and showed that patients in the placebo group experienced no change in medication, having to continue with their former, ineffective treatment plus placebo.

Arthritis patients taking newer treatments do not have an overall increased cancer risk
2011-05-27
Only three percent (n=181) of patients in the study cohort receiving anti-tumour necrosis factor agents (anti-TNFs) for treatment of their arthritis developed a first cancer within nine years and overall risk was not dependent on the type of arthritis.
The nine year follow-up study conducted at Gentofte University Hospital, Denmark demonstrated that relative risk ((RR)=1.03 (95%confidence interval 0.82-1.30)) was not increased in patients treated with anti-TNFs compared to patients who had never taken anti-TNFs during 23,965 person-years follow-up. Overall cancer risk ...

Super-sticky 'ultra-bad' cholesterol revealed in people at high risk of heart disease
2011-05-27
Scientists from the University of Warwick have discovered why a newly found form of cholesterol seems to be 'ultra-bad', leading to increased risk of heart disease. The discovery could lead to new treatments to prevent heart disease particularly in people with type 2 diabetes and the elderly.
The research, funded by the British Heart Foundation (BHF), found that 'ultrabad' cholesterol, called MGmin-low-density lipoprotein (LDL), which is more common in people with type 2 diabetes and the elderly, appears to be 'stickier' than normal LDL. This makes it more likely to attach ...
