Fruits And Vegetables May Not Prevent Cancer
BOSTON (CBS) – Who hasn’t heard that eating a lot of fruits and vegetables can help you fend off cancer?
Dr. Walter Willett, a leading expert on nutrition and health at the Harvard School of Public Health, says your diet may play less of a role in cancer prevention as originally thought. “As better data have come along,” he says, “the benefits for cancer don’t look nearly as impressive.”
And fat doesn’t appear to be as bad as once thought for promoting cancer either. “There had been a strong belief that fat in our diet was the major cause of breast cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer and oth...

Available evidence suggests women with false-positive mammograms less likely to return for screening
Commentary on: Bond M, Pavey T, Welch K, et al.. Systematic review of the psychological consequences of false-positive screening mammograms. Health Technol Assess 2013;17:1–170. Implications for practice and research More research is needed to understand the implications of the distress reported by women following false-positive mammograms. Anxiety after a false-positive mammogram may affect women differently, among some women, exhibiting proactive health behaviours and others exhibiting avoidant behaviours. Brief interventions should seek to reduce distress and encourage continued cancer prevention activities. Cont...

Albumin to globulin ratio and/or plasma albumin in predicting long-term mortality
In a recent study, Azab et al observed that pretreatment albumin–globulin ratio (AGR) is an independent and significant predictor of long-term mortality in breast cancer patients. These results are interesting in the light of the recent studies which showed that use of albumin-containing solutions for the resuscitation of patients with sepsis lowered mortality compared with other fluid resuscitation regimens, although some studies did not support this conclusion. Since albumin therapy is relatively safe, it would have been interesting had Azab et al studied whether therapeutic intervention to bring AGR to normal could ...

New method may allow breast cancer drug to be given through skin
Endoxifen, a drug that has proven effective in the prevention and treatment of breast cancer, but with serious side-effects, may be delivered effectively through the skin using a new topical drug-delivery system. Endoxifen, one of the most commonly used hormone therapy for breast cancer, has also been shown to prevent the disease. However, taken orally, the drug can cause side-effects such as hot flashes and vaginal atrophy, along with increased risk of endometrial cancer and stroke, that leave it wanting as a routine method of chemoprevention.

Representation of Health Conditions on Facebook: Content Analysis and Evaluation of User Engagement
Conclusions: This research represents the first attempts to comprehensively describe publicly available health content and user engagement with health conditions on Facebook pages. Public health interventions using Facebook will need to be designed to ensure relevant information is easy to find and with an understanding that stigma associated with some health conditions may limit the users’ engagement with Facebook pages. This line of research merits further investigation as Facebook and other SNS continue to evolve over the coming years.

Menopausal hormone therapy use in 17 European countries during the last decade
The first ‘Women's Health Initiative’ (WHI) randomised controlled trial assessed use of continuous combined menopausal hormone therapy (cc-MHT). It was prematurely stopped because of an increased invasive breast cancer (BC), coronary heart disease (CHD), stroke and pulmonary embolism risk. Consequently, scientific societies recommended use of MHT at the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration. As a result, a sharp decline in MHT use occurred worldwide.

Watch less TV to prevent obesity, says NICE
“Take TV-free days to combat obesity, health experts urge,” The Guardian reports. This is one of a range of new recommendations from National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE) draft guidelines that are designed to help adults and children maintain a healthy weight.Although the headlines have largely focused on TV (as well as other types of screen time, such as smartphones), the recommendations cover a range of health-related behaviours, such as walking to work and avoiding fizzy drinks.This draft guidance is mainly aimed at people in organisations who set up, pay for, or put into practice programmes that ...

Scientists wield plant viruses against deadly human disease
(Case Western Reserve University) Case Western Reserve University researchers have won grants to customize a plant virus into a vaccine for an aggressive form of breast cancer, and to turn another plant virus into a transporter that delivers clot-busting drugs to a blood clot before it causes a heart attack or stroke.

Green tea compound may improve cancer drugs
Conclusion
This study developed a new way of packaging and carrying protein drugs by combining them with a green tea extract called Epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate (EGCG), which itself may have anti-cancer properties.
They formed a complex between derivatives of EGCG and the protein cancer drug Herceptin. Tests in the laboratory and in mice indicated it might have better anti-cancer properties than non-complexed free Herceptin.
This is encouraging research and may lead to improvements in delivery mechanisms for protein drugs further down the line.
But this research remains at a very early stage of development. The results f...

FDA Approval of Paroxetine for Menopausal Hot Flushes
ABSTRACT: In June 2013, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved paroxetine (Brisdelle, Noven) for the treatment of moderate to severe hot flushes (vasomotor symptoms) associated with menopause. Brisdelle is the only nonhormonal treatment approved by the FDA for this indication. Prior to approval of Brisdelle, FDA-approved treatments for hot flashes were hormones containing either estrogen alone or estrogen plus a progestin. Hormonal therapy is highly effective for treating vasomotor symptoms. However, the use of hormonal therapy dropped substantially after initial findings of the Women’s Health Initiative randomi...
