Differences and Similarities Between Spontaneous Dissections of the Internal Carotid Artery and the Vertebral Artery
There are clinical, pathologic, and outcome differences in spontaneous dissections of the internal carotid artery vs those of the vertebral artery. Spontaneous cervical artery dissection is a major cause of stroke in younger patients. Spontaneous cervical artery dissection causes up to 25% of all ischemic strokes in patients 15 to 49 years of age (Putaala J et al, Stroke 2009;40:1195-203). Although constitutional and environmental factors are both thought to play a role in spontaneous cervical artery dissection, precise causes are poorly understood. Significant differences between spontaneous internal carotid artery disse...

Drugs to be offered to women at high risk of breast cancer
The National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has today released updated guidelines on the care of women who are at increased risk of breast cancer due to their family history. One of the main changes to the original guidance from 2004 is that NICE now recommends drug treatment with tamoxifen or raloxifene to reduce risk of breast cancer in a specific group of women who are at high risk of breast cancer and have not had the disease.
They say that these treatments could help prevent breast cancer in about 488,000 women aged 35 years and older.
The updated guideline has also made changes to the recommende...

Despite the rapid development of innovative technologies in the health care field, we have yet to discover a panacea that will easily transform our health care system into one that provides high-quality and cost-effective care. What we have discovered and come to agree on over the last decade is that our sick care system must be reconfigured to a health care system that emphasizes wellness and prevention.

Claim that statins damage muscles 'overblown'
In this study, statin users were matched with non-users so their baseline characteristics were similar.
A cohort study is the ideal study design to address this question. However, despite the fact that the researchers tried to ensure there were as few differences as possible between statin users and statin non-users at baseline, it is possible that other factors (confounders) are responsible for the associations seen. A randomised controlled trial would be required to show a cause and effect relationship.
