New study challenges current thinking on risk factors for contrast induced nephrotoxicity
2012-05-01
Contrary to current belief, a new study finds that patients with a history of diabetes are not one of the most at risk for contrast induced nephrotoxicity. Instead, the study found that patients with a history of renal disease, hypertension and/or heart disease are more likely to suffer from renal insufficiency, putting them at greater risk for contrast induced nephrotoxicity.
The study, done at Northwestern Memorial Hospital-Northwestern University in Chicago, included 2,404 patients. All patients underwent an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) test immediately ...
Risk of CT-induced cancer minimal compared to risk of dying from disease
2012-05-01
Young patients who undergo chest or abdominopelvic CT are more than 35 times more likely to die of their disease than develop a radiation induced cancer, according to an analysis of 23,359 patients, some of whom were scanned more than 15 times.
The analysis conducted at three hospitals in Boston, found that in the chest CT group, 575 out of 8,133 patients were deceased after a mean follow-up of about 4 years. "That compares to the 12 cases of radiation-induced cancer that would be expected in this group based on the BEIR-VII method, a commonly used model for determining ...

Secondhand smoke continues to vex children with asthma
2012-05-01
BOSTON – Despite longstanding recommendations for children with asthma to avoid tobacco smoke, many youths are still exposed to secondhand smoke and their health suffers because of it, according to a study to be presented Tuesday, May 1, at the Pediatric Academic Societies (PAS) annual meeting in Boston.
"National asthma guidelines have advised avoidance of environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) for patients with asthma for decades, but it is unclear to what degree these recommendations are being followed and what the impact of exposure has been in an era of increased awareness ...
Weight loss led to reduction in inflammation
2012-05-01
PHILADELPHIA — Postmenopausal women who were overweight or obese and lost at least 5 percent of their body weight had a measurable reduction in markers of inflammation, according to a study published in Cancer Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research.
"Both obesity and inflammation have been shown to be related to several types of cancer, and this study shows that if you reduce weight, you can reduce inflammation as well," said Anne McTiernan, M.D., Ph.D., director of the Prevention Center at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, ...
Decision support system translates into high percentage of positive chest CT examinations
2012-05-01
Using a decision support system for ordering chest CT examinations translates into positive examinations three-quarters of the time, a new study shows.
The study, conducted at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, of 93,818 chest CT examinations done with the assistance of a decision support system, found that 76% of patients had a positive finding on their CT.
"Rising concerns about radiation risks, imaging growth and reimbursement costs has highlighted inappropriate imaging use," said Dr. Supriya Gupta, MD, one of the authors of the study. The decision support ...

2012-05-01
The cost and production of fuel are always topics of intense discussion and scrutiny, but recently, they have proven more volatile topics than ever before.

This has led to intense debate within the energy production industry, something a recent news report makes clear. The debate has even drawn the attention of long-time industry leaders like Frank C. Fisher, a retired Houston attorney and oil and gas professional who responds to the current oil and ...
Excessive sleepiness may be cause of learning, attention and school problems
2012-05-01
DARIEN, IL – Children who have learning, attention and behavior problems may be suffering from excessive daytime sleepiness, even though clinical tests show them sleeping long enough at night, a new study reports.
Penn State researchers studied 508 children and found that those whose parents reported excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) – despite little indication of short sleep from traditional measurements – were more likely to experience learning, attention/hyperactivity and conduct problems than children without EDS.
The culprits? Obesity, symptoms of inattention, ...
