- Internal Medicine"This raises some interesting points for other, more specific research, but it won't affect the way we practice medicine tomorrow," said Dr. Robert Scott III, assistant professor of internal medicine at Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine and senior staff cardiologist with Scott & White, Temple, Texas. "Certain diabetes medications may be a little bit more heart friendly than some of the older diabetes medications, but the bottom line is, we can't draw firm conclusions from this."

- HysterectomyOne or 2 posts back, we discussed the new testosterone patch for ladies which is designed to pep up a woman's libido after full hysterectomy but now (so quickly!) research is showing it may not work after all and what’s more, its long term safety has not been proven. According to Drug and Therapeutics Bulletin (DTB), the testosterone pa…
- Hip ReplacementOne insight provided by the study is that the time of increased risk for thrombosis is higher after cancer surgery than for other operations, such as hip replacement, Brotman noted. "Also, it shows a measurable increased risk even after outpatient surgery, which typically is not managed with prophylaxis [preventive therapy]," he said.
- Knee ReplacementOne of every 140 women who had surgery that required a hospital stay was readmitted for venous thromboembolism within 12 weeks of the operation. The rate was highest for hip or knee replacement surgery at one in 45, and was one in 85 after cancer surgery. The incidence after operations not requiring a hospital stay was one in 815, the researchers found.

That being the case, rubbing a steroid cream on your itchy skin may temporarily relieve t…

- PsoriasisPsoriasis, dermatitis, eczema, and any other skin problems are irritated very easily by most soaps. As a former psoriasis sufferer I would estimate I tried at least 30 different soaps hoping that would cure my psoriasis.
