Cymbalta(R) Significantly Reduced Chronic Low Back Pain In New Study
In a new study, 60 mg of Cymbalta(R) (duloxetine HCl) taken once daily significantly reduced chronic low back pain, as measured by the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) average pain rating, compared with placebo.(1) The data were presented at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Pain Medicine (AAPM) in San Antonio, Texas…
Need For Emergency Airway Surgery For Hard-to-Intubate Patients Reduced
Be prepared, that old Boy Scout motto, is being applied with great success to operating room patients whose anatomy may make it difficult for physicians to help them breathe during surgery, Johns Hopkins researchers report in a new study. When patients undergo general anesthesia, they stop breathing on their own and anesthesiologists must quickly insert a tube into the airway as a first step in machine-assisted breathing.
Pain Response To Heat Reduced By Comfort Food
People often eat food to feel better, but researchers have found that eating chocolate or drinking water can blunt pain, reducing a rat’s response to a hot stimulus. This natural form of pain relief may help animals in the wild avoid distraction while eating scarce food, but in modern humans with readily available food, the effect may contribute to overeating and obesity.
Follow-Up Study Confirms Link Between Migraines And Reduced Breast Cancer Risk
The relationship between migraine headaches in women and a significant reduction in breast cancer risk has been confirmed in a follow-on study to landmark research published last year and conducted by scientists at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. The new study found a 26 percent reduced risk of breast cancer among both premenopausal and postmenopausal women with a clinical diagnosis of migraines.
Link Between Migraines And Reduced Breast Cancer Risk Confirmed
US researchers have recently confirmed the findings of an earlier smaller study they published last year that suggested women with a history of migraine are likely to have a lower risk of developing breast cancer. They estimated that among both premenopausal and postmenopausal women with a clinical diagnosis of migraines, the risk of getting breast cancer was 26 per cent lower compared to women without a history of migraines.

Radiation Dose Drastically Reduced During Whole Chest MDCT
Emergency physicians who evaluate patients with nonspecific chest pain using whole chest multidetector CT (MDCT) combined with retrospective electrocardiogram (ECG) gating can reduce the patient radiation dose by 71 percent using MDCT combined with prospective ECG triggering instead, according to a new study.
Arthritis Sufferers Experience Reduced Pain With Tai Chi
The results of a new analysis have provided good evidence to suggest that Tai Chi is beneficial for arthritis. Specifically, it was shown to decrease pain with trends towards improving overall physical health, level of tension and satisfaction with health status. Musculoskeletal pain, such as that experienced by people with arthritis, places a severe burden on the patient and community and is recognized as an international health priority.
Risk Of Dialysis Access Failure Reduced By Combination Of Aspirin And Anti-Clotting Drug
For the first time, a combination of aspirin and the anti-platelet drug dipyridamole has been shown to significantly reduce blockages and extend the useful life of new artery-vein access grafts used for hemodialysis, according to a study by the Dialysis Access Consortium (DAC).
