Fit middle-aged men have lower cancer risk
Conclusion
This study shows that cardiovascular fitness is likely to reduce men's chances of developing lung and colorectal cancer, and appears to boost survival from cancer or cardiovascular disease in those diagnosed after the age of 65. This was based on comparing the top 40% of fittest men with the 20% least fit.
The study focused on fitness and took account of major risk factors for cancer, such as smoking and blood pressure. However, it left out one important risk factor: diet. What people eat and drink is known to affect cancer risk.
The fittest group may also have been the healthiest in terms of eating well and ...

Cigarette warning labels may be more effective with imagery
Young adults are more likely to appreciate the dangers of smoking when warnings are presented in images as well as text, according to a new study. The labels used in the study emphasized negative consequences of smoking associated with lung cancer, heart disease and stroke, impotence, eye disease, neck, throat and mouth cancers, and vascular disease.

Clinical Outcomes of Metastatic Intra-cerebral Hemorrhage and Role of Acute Radiotherapy (P3.077)
CONCLUSIONS: Early recognition of metastatic disease as the etiology of ICH is important, particularly when it is the presenting manifestation. Despite the overall poor prognosis of metastatic cancer, early radiotherapy may increase survival and offer quality of life in selected group of patients. A larger case series is needed.Disclosure: Dr. Afzal has nothing to disclose. Dr. Mendoza has nothing to disclose. Dr. Latorre has nothing to disclose.

Does Thoracoscopic Surgery Decrease the Morbidity of Combined Lung and Chest Wall Resection?
Conclusions Thoracoscopic chest wall resection was feasible, expanded our case selection, and reduced prosthetic reconstruction. It did not, however, protect frail, elderly patients reliably. Briefer, less traumatic operations may be needed for this cohort.

Five-year 'death test' for older adults launched online
Conclusion
This large study has identified numerous risk factors associated with a person's risk of death within five years. Researchers used this information to develop an online tool that predicts someone's risk of death within the next five years. The study's strengths include its large sample size and the prospective nature of the study design.
But there are some limitations. There may be some bias in the type of people who volunteered to take part. The death rate was lower than that of the average population in this age group, which may indicate that the participants were more interested in their health and so had he...

Air pollution kills 3.2 million people across the world every year - that's more than Aids and malaria COMBINED
Air pollution results in 3.2 million deaths each year, from conditions including heart attack, stroke and lung cancer - more than the combined impact of HIV-Aids and malaria, scientists in Texas say.

Meeting global air quality guidelines could prevent 2. 1 million deaths per year
Improving air quality -- in clean and dirty places -- could potentially avoid millions of pollution-related deaths each year. That finding comes from a team of environmental engineering and public health researchers who developed a global model of how changes in outdoor air pollution could lead to changes in the rates of health problems such as heart attack, stroke and lung cancer. The researchers were surprised to find the importance of cleaning air not just in the dirtiest parts of the world -- which they expected to find -- but also in cleaner environments like the United States, Canada and Europe.

Hidden cancer rarely causes out-of-the-blue clots in the bloodstream
Blood clots can be lifesavers when they form outside the bloodstream to stop bleeding from an injury. But they can wreak havoc when they form inside the bloodstream. A blood clot in a coronary artery can cause a heart attack. One in the brain can cause a stroke.
Blood clots that form in a leg vein cause a problem known as venous thromboembolism, or VTE. If the clot stays in the leg, it can cause swelling or pain. If it breaks away and travels to the lungs, it can cause a potentially deadly pulmonary embolism.
In about half of people who develop a VTE, doctors can identify what caused it. Common causes include an injury; su...

Room to breathe for L.A. apartment residents
Public health efforts in California over the last two decades have succeeded in clearing the air of tobacco smoke in workplaces, restaurants, bars and many other public places. But for those who reside in multi-unit apartment complexes, the home is not always a smoke-free zone — even if they want it to be and even if their health suffers as a result.
With a $3 million federal grant from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research in the public health school is leading an initiative to change that reality for low-income Latino and African-American families living ...

Abstract SY02-04: Risk factors associated with cancer, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease in the multiethnic cohort: Comparisons across ethnic groups
Many chronic diseases common in the United States, such as cancer, type II diabetes and cardiovascular disease, share many lifestyle risk factors, such as tobacco use, obesity, diet, and lack of physical activity. These factors likely act upon disease through common pathways, such as inflammation and immune suppression. Examining the association of these risk factors with chronic conditions within a cohort could provide insights into their roles in the etiology of cancer and disease in general.The Multiethnic Cohort (MEC) is a prospective study that enrolled over 215,000 individuals in Hawaii and California from 1993 to 19...
