Editorial Time for action on atrial fibrillation
The incidence of atrial fibrillation, a common and treatable risk factor for ischaemic stroke, is predicted to increase in the coming decades, elevating the status of this arrhythmia to that of a public health priority. The growing importance of this condition is reflected by the publication in July, 2015, of two documents: the research report for the Future of Anticoagulation Initiative on the future of atrial fibrillation management in Europe; and the UK National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) Quality Standard on the treatment and management of atrial fibrillation.

Mediterranean diet 'as effective as statins' in reducing heart attack risk
Leading doctors call on medical bodies such as Nice to do more to promote healthy lifestyles rather than relying on cardiovascular drugsPeople at risk of a stroke or heart attack should reduce that risk by adopting the Mediterranean diet rather than necessarily taking statins, leading doctors are urging.Eating more healthily, being more physically active and stopping smoking can be just as effective as starting to take the cholesterol-lowering drugs, they have said in a paper published on Monday.

Is Your Prescription a Hall Pass or Lottery Ticket?
As much as I love learning, I did not always love school. We moved a lot, and I was too shy to do well as the new kid. At a new high school during my freshmen year, I discovered the joys of the hall pass. Being handed one gave me a feeling of freedom. With it, I was safe to evade the pressures of the classroom and wander the halls aimlessly. If a teacher stopped me to see if I should be in class, all I had to do was show my hall pass, and I'd be on my way. I think of a hall pass as something that is assured to protect you. Let's say a hall pass works at least 8 out of 10 times.
There are hall passes, and then, there are l...

Can Data Simulation Help Evaluate Hta Outcomes Over Time and Facilitate Early Decision-Making? a Case Study of Ticagrelor in Acute Coronary Syndrome in the Uk
In October 2011, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommended the use of ticagrelor in adult patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in England and Wales. The relative effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of ticagrelor compared to clopidogrel—the current standard of care in the NHS—were based on results from one large multicentre study including over 18,000 ACS patients. Patients were recruited from October 2006 through to July 2008 and primary trial data analysis, published in September 2009, demonstrated that ticagrelor significantly reduced the rate of death, myocardial inf...

Riding to the Storm: Behind the Scenes Hassles of Stem Cell Research Funding
When my paralyzed son Roman Reed told me, he was going on a little trip, I said, "Oh, that's nice!", and went on with my chores. I figured he meant a couple-hour jaunt from Fremont to Sacramento, something like that, no big deal. But his mother Gloria is more suspicious than I am, and managed to wheedle out of him that the "little trip" involved California, Texas, Alabama, and Louisiana--and that he would be driving all the way. Complicating matters was a massive storm heading in, perhaps the most powerful ever recorded in this hemisphere... "That's why I have to go right now," he said, with perfect Roman logic. Some might...

How Gratitude Can Benefit Your Physical Health All Year Long
Now that we're officially in the holiday season, generosity and gratitude reign supreme. We're altruistic because we're motivated at this time of year to support others who are less fortunate, and we express thanks for those who have extended similar kindness to us. And honestly, why wouldn't we want to tap into this sort of holiday spirit? Both generosity and gratitude have an incredible influence on our emotional health. When we practice them, we're happier, more optimistic and have a lower risk for depression and anxiety. New research also shows that gift giving reflects how we feel about others and could give more...

Updated NICE guidelines on the management of type 2 diabetes in adults
Updated NICE guidelines stress the need for individualising care for people with type 2 diabetes, and include new recommendations on managing blood glucose, effective drug treatments and lifestyle interventions.
The vast majority of people who have diabetes have type 2 diabetes, a form of the condition that tends to appear in people over 40, but that is increasingly being seen in younger people due to rising obesity levels.
The condition is also common among people from people from African, African Caribbean and South Asian family origins. It can result in blindness, kidney failure, premature heart disease strok...

Arguments favoring low versus high dose aspirin in the prophylaxis of venous thromboembolism
The use of aspirin in the prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE) is still controversial. In a profound review on the use of aspirin for primary and secondary prevention of venous thromboembolism and other cardiovascular disorders Cohen et al. [1] conclude that the benefits of aspirin are well documented for conditions like myocardial infarction, coronary heart disease, and stroke, but less clearly for prevention of VTE after orthopedic surgery. The latter indistinctness has been a matter of concern in many earlier reviews and meta-analyses, and has even led to non-uniform guidelines on VTE prevention from the American ...

Women have more empathy, but do even we care any more? | Christina Patterson
People are becoming more self-centred, says new research. The shocking death of Louise Wolstenholme suggests this may be truePsychopaths don’t yawn. They might yawn when they’re tired, or bored, or when the conversation switches to a subject that isn’t linked to them, but when other people yawn, psychopaths don’t. They don’t yawn because they don’t give a monkey’s what other people feel.In this they are different to orangutans, which apparently laugh when another orangutan laughs; and from elephants, which use their trunks to stroke an elephant in pain. They are different to macaque monkeys, which make an eff...
