RE-OPERATION RATES AFTER PARTIAL MASTECTOMY VARY WIDELY FROM HOSPITAL TO HOSPITAL AND SURGEON TO SURGEON After a breast cancer diagnosis the most common operation is breast conserving therapy or partial mastectomy. The goal is to surgically remove all the cancer and leave behind normal tissue, what's known as clear margins. Failure to attain these margins requires additional surgery. A new study looked at how re-operation rates can vary from hospital to hospital and surgeon to surgeon. Catherine Dolf explains in this week's JAMA Report.

COMMONLY PRESCRIBED ACID REFLUX MEDICATION NOT HELPFUL FOR CHILDREN WITH UNCONTROLLED ASTHMA Acid reflux is common in many children with asthma. Medications known as proton pump inhibitors or P-P-I's help suppress stomach acid and are widely prescribed in clinical practice, even though it's still unclear whether or not they are effective in treating asthma symptoms. A new study tested this medication to see if it could help children whose asthma symptoms were poorly controlled. Catherine Dolf has more in this week's JAMA Report.

ANTI-PLATELET DRUG USEFUL TO BRIDGE PATIENTS WITH CORONARY STENTS TO CARDIAC SURGERY Patients with coronary stents require medication that inhibits platelet activity and prevents clotting. However, if patients need additional surgery that medication must be stopped several days in advance because it increases the risk of major bleeding during the operation. A new study tested an investigational drug that decreases clotting risk and also leaves the system quicker after it is stopped so surgery can be performed without a major delay. Catherine Dolf has more in this week's JAMA Report.

CALORIES, NOT PROTEIN, AFFECT FAT STORAGE AND WEIGHT GAIN IN THE BODY WHEN OVEREATING The New Year brings countless resolutions for many Americans and always high on the list is losing weight and eating better. Sixty percent of U-S adults are overweight and more than thirty percent are obese. One reason for this is that many Americans tend to overeat. A new study finds that the amount of calories not protein, still determines whether you gain weight when you eat more than you should. Catherine Dolf explains in this week's JAMA Report.

OBSTETRIC CONDITIONS, PLACENTA ABNORMALITIES MOST COMMON CAUSES OF STILLBIRTH IN THE U-S Today stillbirth rates in the United States remain higher than that of many other developed countries, affecting about one in every 160 pregnancies. The cause is often unknown leaving parents devastated and with unanswered questions. A new study finds that if a full evaluation is performed after the birth, most times a possible cause of the stillbirth can often be determined. Catherine Dolf has more in this week's JAMA Report.

NO SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN CARDIOVASCULAR PROBLEMS FOR YOUNG AND MIDDLE-AGED ADULTS TAKING A-D-H-D MEDICATION Over the last decade the use of medications to treat attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder increased more rapidly in adults than in children. These medications have been shown to raise heart rate and blood pressure which can lead to cardiovascular events. A new study examines whether there is an association between use of A-D-H-D drugs and risk for heart attack, stroke or sudden cardiac death in young and middle-aged adults. Catherine Dolf has more in this week's JAMA Report.

EXPOSURE TO CORTICOSTEROIDS BEFORE BIRTH ASSOCIATED WITH BENEFITS FOR EXTREMELY PRE-MATURE INFANTS A typical pregnancy may last anywhere from 38 to 42 weeks. Infants born at 25 weeks or less are considered extremely pre-mature and face a number of health issues including having under-developed lungs and not surviving their birth. A new study finds that babies born at 23 to 25 weeks who are exposed to corticosteroids before birth have an increased rate of survival and a lower risk for neurodevelopmental disorders after birth.

HEART VALVE REPLACEMENT ASSOCIATED WITH IMPROVED OUTCOMES FOR PATIENTS WITH ENDOCARDITIS COMPLICATED BY HEART FAILURE Endocarditis is an infection that damages the lining of the heart and the heart valves. It occurs when bacteria or other organisms enter the bloodstream and travel to the heart. A complication of this disease is heart failure and if left untreated can be life-threatening. A new study finds that heart valve replacement surgery was associated with improved outcomes for patients with endocarditis complicated by heart failure. Catherine Dolf explains in this week's JAMA Report.

INVESTIGATIONAL CHOLESTEROL MEDICATION ALONE OR COMBINED WITH STATINS FOUND TO RAISE H-D-L AND LOWER L-D-L LEVELS Statins have revolutionized cardiovascular disease prevention by helping lower "bad" cholesterol or L-D-L levels in the blood. However, even with lower L-D-L levels many patients are at risk for experiencing heart attack, stroke and other complications. Raising H-D-L or "good" cholesterol levels can help in reducing these risks but finding the right medication to do this has been challenging. A new study that tested an experimental medication from a different class of drugs has promising results. Catherine Dolf explains in this week's JAMA Report.

STRESS TESTS PERFORMED AFTER CORONARY ARTERY BYPASS AND STENTING PROCEDURES MAY BE RELATED TO FINANCIAL FACTORS The number of patients undergoing cardiac stress testing has increased significantly over the last decade. These tests are often done before and also after cardiac bypass surgery or stenting procedures. A new study finds that the use of stress tests performed after surgery or stenting varied widely across the country and may be related to financial factors.

LUNG CANCER SCREENING C-T SCANS MAY ALSO IDENTIFY HEAVY SMOKERS WITH CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or C-O-P-D is a major cause of death for heavy smokers. The onset of the disease can be insidious and is often underdiagnosed until it reaches a more advanced stage. A new study finds using computed tomography or C-T scans when screening smokers for lung cancer can also help detect C-O-P-D. Catherine Dolf has more in this week's JAMA Report.

MEDICARE HEART FAILURE HOSPITALIZATIONS DOWN SUBSTANTIALLY WHILE HEART FAILURE DEATHS REMAIN HIGH Heart failure affects about six million patients each year in the United States. It ranks as the most frequent cause of hospitalizations among older Americans. The disease is also expensive to treat with almost 40 billion dollars spent last year alone. A new study finds the number of Medicare patients hospitalized for heart failure has declined substantially but the death rate one year after being hospitalized for heart failure still remains high nationwide.

HEALTHY MEN TAKING VITAMIN E SUPPLEMENTS HAVE INCREASED RISK OF DEVELOPING PROSTATE CANCER Prior studies have shown a relationship between the supplements Selenium and Vitamin E and preventing prostate cancer. In 2008, researchers from the "SELECT" or Selenium and Vitamin E Cancer Prevention Trial found taking extra doses of these supplements did not help prevent the disease. Researchers then continued following the men even though they stopped taking the supplements. Long-term follow-up results show that men who took Vitamin E during the trial had an increased risk of developing prostate cancer. Catherine Dolf explains in this week's JAMA Report.

ADVANCE DIRECTIVES LIMITING END-OF-LIFE CARE ASSOCIATED WITH LOWER MEDICARE SPENDING IN CERTAIN REGIONS OF U.S. Surveys show many patients nearing the end of their life do not wish to receive aggressive medical treatments including being connected to a respirator or having placement of a feeding tube. An advance directive such as a living will or a health care power of attorney can help ensure a patient's wishes will be carried out. A new study finds these advance directives, limiting end-of-life treatment in certain regions of the country are associated with lower Medicare spending, reduced likelihood of dying in a hospital, and increased use of hospice care. Catherine Dolf has more in this week's JAMA Report.

NATIONWIDE GRADUATED DRIVER LICENSING PROGRAMS BENEFIT YOUNGER RATHER THAN OLDER TEEN DRIVERS Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for American teenagers. In the last decade more than 23 thousand teenage drivers and 14 thousand of their passengers were killed in car crashes. A new study finds implementing nationwide graduated driver licensing programs are beneficial when it comes to keeping younger teens alive but are not associated with similar benefit when it comes to older teens.

UNCONSCIOUS RACE AND SOCIAL BIAS NOT RELATED TO CLINICAL ASSESSMENT AND DECISION MAKING FOR NEW MEDICAL STUDENTS We all have unconscious preferences including for a person's race and social class. Studies have shown that physicians may act on those particular preferences when treating patients, even if they are not conscious about doing so, which might affect outcomes. A new study finds that while incoming medical students also have these unconscious preferences they did not influence how the students would assess and treat different types of patients. Catherine Dolf has more in this week's JAMA Report.

CHOLESTEROL-LOWERING FOODS AND DIETARY ADVICE SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCES L-D-L LEVELS IN OLDER MEN AND WOMEN Diet and lifestyle are important factors to help maintain healthy serum cholesterol levels. Efforts have been made to help reduce LDL or the "bad" cholesterol by introducing foods known to have cholesterol-lowering properties. A new study finds combining these foods with a low-saturated fat diet in addition to dietary advice, significantly lowers L-D-L levels. Catherine Dolf has more in this week's JAMA Report.

YEARLY OVARIAN CANCER SCREENING ASSOCIATED WITH NO REDUCTION IN DEATH AND INCREASED FALSE POSITIVE TESTS Ovarian cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer deaths among women. Early screenings including blood tests and ultrasound are used to help detect the disease. A new major study finds these screenings given to women with no history or symptoms do not help detect the cancer any earlier or decrease the risk of dying. In addition, the tests may produce a higher number of false positive results causing unnecessary surgeries leading to other complications. Catherine Dolf has more in this week's JAMA Report.

A WOMAN'S AGE ASSOCIATED WITH DIFFERING LONG-TERM HEALTH RISKS AND BENEFITS AFTER ESTROGEN-ONLY THERAPY In 2004, the Women’s Health Initiative Estrogen-Only Trial was stopped one year early because of an increased risk of stroke and no overall health benefit for the postmenopausal women who had hysterectomies taking the medication. A new long-term study continued following many of the women after they stopped the estrogen and finds that their age was associated with certain ongoing health risks and benefits long after taking the last pill.    Catherine Dolf explains more in this week’s JAMA Report.

U-S SEES MAJOR DECLINE IN "PACK-A-DAY" OR HEAVY SMOKING RATES OVER THE LAST 40 YEARS WITH CALIFORNIA LEADING THE WAY In the mid-1960s almost half of those who smoked cigarettes in this country were up to a ‘pack-a-day’ or more. That number began to decline in 1965 after the U-S Surgeon General issued the first report linking cancer and smoking. A new study finds that over the last 40 years heavy smoking rates tumbled but one state led the pack when it came to people who successfully quit or who never even started to smoke.

SURVIVAL AND RECURRENCE RATES NO WORSE FOR BREAST CANCER PATIENTS WHO UNDERGO LESS RADICAL LYMPH NODE SURGERY Breast cancer surgery which involves removing a large number of lymph nodes is associated with a risk of complications. In the early 19-90s surgeons began performing a less invasive procedure, by removing a few lymph nodes closest to the tumor but only if those nodes were cancer free. A new study finds that breast cancer patients who had fewer lymph nodes removed did not have worse outcomes compared with patients having the more radical procedure.  Catherine Dolf explains in this week’s JAMA Report.
