Medication Review After a Fracture
Approximately 1 of every 2 women and 1 of every 4 men aged 50 years or older will experience a fracture in their remaining lifetime. In fact, in the United States, the annual number of osteoporotic fractures that occur exceeds the incidence of heart attack, stroke, and breast cancer combined. Morbidity and mortality is considerable following major osteoporotic fractures, particularly in individuals with hip fracture: 44% of individuals with a hip fracture are readmitted to the hospital, and 21% will die in the first year following the fracture. This readmission rate is nearly 2-fold greater than the readmission rate follow...

This is the latest finding of the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), a group of cancer experts from around the world that look at risk factors for cancer.  What is the basis for these reports? The headlines are based on a report published in the peer-reviewed New England Journal of Medicine. The report is not exactly new research, but a review of previously published studies that looked at the link between weight and cancers. It is the result of a working g...

A Radiologist ’s Primer on Bundles and Care Episodes
Publication date: September 2016 Source:Journal of the American College of Radiology, Volume 13, Issue 9 Author(s): David Seidenwurm, Frank James Lexa Bundled or episode payments are among the most heavily emphasized approaches to aligning incentives and promoting care coordination, efficiency, and accountability in health care redesign. Bundled or episode payments price a market basket of services for an entire episode of care with both a clearly defined trigger and termination. Because the radiologist is “ancillary” in many bundles, the specialty is often unaware of the phenomenon. This is likely to change rapidly. ...

7 Tips To Lower Diabetes Risk in Menopause During the Holidays
By now, most people have been to a holiday party or two. Lots of food, lots of eggnog and other carb laden alcoholic beverages, and lots of grazing all day long on all the boxes of candy friends and business acquaintances sent to us. It's easy to gain the five pounds most people gain during the holidays, and in the process, raise your blood sugar or glucose levels too high. That's your body letting you know you have prediabetes (higher than normal but still below diabetes levels) or diabetes, and unless you take action soon, your body won't like it.

The evolving role of oral hormonal therapies and review of conjugated estrogens/bazedoxifene for the management of menopausal symptoms.
Authors: Parish SJ, Gillespie JA Abstract This review describes the evolving role of oral hormone therapy (HT) for treating menopausal symptoms and preventing osteoporosis, focusing on conjugated estrogens/bazedoxifene (CE/BZA). Estrogens alleviate hot flushes and prevent bone loss associated with menopause. In nonhysterectomized women, a progestin should be added to estrogens to reduce the risk of endometrial cancer. Use of HT declined since the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) studies showed that HT does not prevent coronary heart disease (CHD) and that conjugated estrogens/medroxyprogesterone acetate increased th...
