7 Ways to Permanently Banish Belly Fat
Sixty-nine percent of Americans adults are overweight, and over 35 percent are obese. Obesity increases your risk for numerous conditions including heart disease, stroke, Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and cancer.
Sadly, about 3.4 million adults die each year from being overweight or obese. Globally obesity now kills about the same as tobacco and all wars, terrorism and violence. Nearly all people who are overweight already have "pre-diabetes" and have significant risks of disease and death. They just don't know it.
When you begin to put on weight, especially lethal belly fat, your biology shifts out of balance, v...

NICE recommends Xarelto® as a treatment option for reducing secondary events in ACS
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) issued its Final Appraisal Determination (FAD) recommending Xarelto 2.5mg twice daily as an effective treatment option for preventing secondary events – such as death, heart attack or stroke – following acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in patients with elevated cardiac biomarkers, without prior stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA). (1) The FAD is the final phase in a multi-step review process by NICE and recognises the improved patient outcomes using Xarelto as a treatment option on top of dual antiplatelet therapy;* publication of guidance is expected to follow in Q1 2015.

Offer weight loss surgery to obese people with diabetes
A quarter of the UK population is now obese, fuelling a rise in cases of type 2 diabetes, as well as heart disease, fatty liver disease and cancer. One in 20 people in the UK has type 2 diabetes, a progressive disease that causes heart disease, stroke, blindness, kidney failure and limb amputations.
Updated NICE guidance focuses on identifying, assessing and treating people who are already obese.

Alteplase for the Treatment of Acute Ischaemic Stroke: A NICE Single Technology Appraisal; an Evidence Review Group Perspective
Abstract
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) invited Boehringer Ingelheim GmbH, the manufacturer of alteplase, to submit evidence for the clinical and cost-effectiveness of alteplase for the prevention of strokes within a 0–4.5 h window. The comparator was standard medical and supportive management that does not include alteplase. This paper provides a description of the company submission, the Evidence Review Group (ERG) review and NICE's subsequent decisions. Clinical effectiveness evidence for alteplase was derived from 5 trials. For the 3–4.5 h treatment window, alteplase did not...

The Move Towards Full Implementation Of The Nice Guidelines For Stroke Prevention In Atrial Fibrillation: The Potential Cost And Clinical Impact
Updated treatment guidelines for atrial fibrillation (AF) have been released by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) in the United Kingdom and highlight a current shortfall in the prescribing of anticoagulants to patients with AF despite the importance of stroke prevention. A model was designed for use as a planning tool for Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) looking to budget for the future move towards full implementation of the NICE guidelines.

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 ...

Question 1: Is ultrasound scanning as sensitive as CT in detecting skull fractures in children presenting following head injury?
Scenario An 11-month-old child is brought to the emergency department following a witnessed fall from a dining room chair. There was no loss of consciousness and only a single episode of vomiting immediately following the fall. Neurological examination is normal, however, there is a 5 cm bruised boggy swelling in the left parietal region and you suspect there may be a skull fracture. The child meets the criteria for neuroimaging with CT scanning according to NICE guidance.1 The parents express anxiety about radiation exposure (a young relative is currently being treated for leukaemia), in addition to concerns about th...

NICE: 'Obese should be prescribed slimming clubs'
“GPs told to prescribe £100 slimming courses for millions of obese patients,” the Daily Mail reports.
The news is based on new guidelines from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) that aim to encourage sustainable weight loss in the obese; “lose a little, and keep it off”.
The guidance is mainly aimed at commissioners (who plan and agree which services will be provided in the NHS and monitor them), health professionals and groups who provide lifestyle weight management programmes. The recommendations may also be of interest to members of the public, including people who are overweight or o...

National Institute for Health and Care Excellence stroke rehabilitation guidance - is it useful, usable, and based on best evidence?
Abstract
In the UK, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) is responsible for producing clinical guidance based on sound evidence. In 2013 they produced guidance on Stroke Rehabilitation and this editorial outlines why this is not a useful guide for clinicians or commissioners. Primarily this is because NICE used inappropriate methods; the methods used are appropriate for evaluating drugs, but are inappropriate when applied to any complex intervention. Moreover, the actual recommendations are written in clinically unhelpful language. Future rehabilitation guidance should include ensuring that...

Resistant hypertension: resistance to treatment or resistance to taking treatment?
The treatment of hypertension has been a therapeutic success. A generation or more of effective drugs deserves considerable credit for their contribution to the substantial decline in age-related incidence of stroke, ischaemic heart disease and heart failure. And because almost all the drugs are long-since off patent, the cost of success comes cheaply. Indeed, National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has branded treatment of hypertension as not only cost effective but cost saving.1 Yet not all patients achieve their blood pressure target and are labelled as ‘resistant hypertension’. A contentious...
