1 Sep 2010 at 8:13am Girls eating a high-fat diet during puberty, even those who do not become overweight or obese, appears to be at a greater risk of developing breast cancer during the later part of life, as per Michigan State University researchers. The implications - that a high-fat diet may have detrimental effects independent of its effect to cause obesity - could drive new cancer prevention efforts........1 Sep 2010 at 8:13am  Chemotherapy is the best broad defense against cancer recurrence after surgical resection. However, it is difficult to predict which patients will benefit from which regimen of anticancer drugs, if at all. Building on existing knowledge, a study reported in the September edition of the Journal of Thoracic Oncology (JTO), analyzed the usefulness of adjuvant chemotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) based on the histoculture drug response assay (HDRA). After seven years of study, scientists concluded that the use of adjuvant (post-operative) chemotherapy based on results of the in vitro HDRA improved the survival and prognosis of patients with NSCLC who had undergone surgery and whose results of the HDRA assay showed chemosensitivity to the specific drugs used for therapy........1 Sep 2010 at 8:13am  A study in the Sept. 1 issue of the journal SLEEP found an elevated risk of death in men with a complaint of chronic insomnia and an objectively measured short sleep duration. The results suggest that public health policy should emphasize the diagnosis and appropriate therapy of chronic insomnia........1 Sep 2010 at 8:13am  One of the most contentious issues in the vast literature about alcohol consumption has been the consistent finding that those who don't drink actually tend to die sooner than those who do. The standard Alcoholics Anonymous explanation for this finding is that a number of of those who show up as abstainers in such research are actually former hard-core drunks who had already incurred health problems linked to drinking........1 Sep 2010 at 8:13am  A newly released study led by Boston University School of Public Health (BUSPH) epidemiologists has observed that women who took over-the-counter decongestants during their pregnancies are less likely to give birth prematurely. Preterm birth -- deliveries at less than 37 weeks' gestation- -- is the leading cause of infant morbidity and mortality in developed countries, but its causes remain largely unknown, said Rohini Hernandez, the study's main author and a doctoral candidate in epidemiology at BUSPH. In the United States, the rate of preterm delivery has increased from 9.5 percent in 1981 to 12.3 percent in 2008........1 Sep 2010 at 8:13am  For competitive bicyclists with goals - whether competing in the Tour de France or aiming for the podium at a local race - faster cycling comes from training regimens based on various zones of exercise intensity. New research from exercise researchers at the University of New Hampshire has observed that effective training regimens, which generally are created after expensive, time-consuming laboratory tests, can be developed from a relatively simple, do-it-yourself test........1 Sep 2010 at 8:13am  Elderly adults are more likely to have destination memory failures forgetting who they've shared or not shared information with, as per a newly released study led by Baycrest's Rotman Research Institute. It's the kind of memory faux pas that can lead to awkward or embarrassing social situations and even miscommunication in the doctor's office. Ironically, after making these memory errors elderly adults remain highly confident in their false beliefs........1 Sep 2010 at 8:13am  Depression is actually defined by specific clinical symptoms such as sadness, difficulty to experience pleasure, sleep problems etc., present for at least two weeks, with impairment of psychosocial functioning. These symptoms guide the doctor to make a diagnosis and to select antidepressant therapy such as drugs or psychotherapy........1 Sep 2010 at 8:13am  Influenza vaccination of healthcare personnel is a professional and ethical responsibility and non-compliance with healthcare facility policies regarding vaccination should not be tolerated, as per a position paper released recently by the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America (SHEA). The paper, published in this month's Infection Control and Healthcare Epidemiology journal and endorsed by the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA), stresses influenza vaccination of healthcare personnel as a core patient safety practice that should be a condition of both initial and continued employment in healthcare facilities........1 Sep 2010 at 8:13am  The data monitoring committee of the AVERROES study, seeing overwhelming evidence of the success of apixaban in the prevention of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation who are unsuitable for the conventional therapy of warfarin, has recommended early termination of this study. The decision came after repeated review and careful consideration of all efficacy and safety data........1 Sep 2010 at 8:13am  The occurence rate of acute myocardial infarction in Italy sharply increased, especially among young women, between the years 2001 and 2005, as per a comprehensive study funded by the Human Health Foundation (HHF), a nonprofit Italian charity for biomedical research and health education in Spoleto, Italy. The results were published in Aging Clinical Experimental Research.......1 Sep 2010 at 8:13am  Mothers who did not breastfeed their children have significantly higher rates of type 2 diabetes during the later part of life than moms who breastfed, report University of Pittsburgh scientists as per a research findings reported in the recent issue of the American Journal of Medicine. "We have seen dramatic increases in the prevalence of type 2 diabetes over the last century," said Eleanor Bimla Schwarz, M.D., M.S., assistant professor of medicine, epidemiology, and obstetrics, gynecology and reproductive sciences at the University of Pittsburgh. "Diet and exercise are widely known to impact the risk of type 2 diabetes, but few people realize that breastfeeding also reduces mothers' risk of developing the disease during the later part of life by decreasing maternal belly fat"........1 Sep 2010 at 8:13am  The number of children admitted to English hospitals with bacterial pneumonia decreased by a fifth in the two years following the introduction of a vaccine to combat the disease, according to a new study published recently in the journal Thorax Bacterial pneumonia is a serious illness caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria that mostly affects babies, young children and elderly people. In Europe, around one in ten deaths in the under-fives is caused by the disease........1 Sep 2010 at 8:13am  A group of "professional couch potatoes," as one researcher described them, has proven that even moderate exercise - in this case walking at one's own pace for 40 minutes three times a week - can enhance the connectivity of important brain circuits, combat declines in brain function linked to aging and increase performance on cognitive tasks........1 Sep 2010 at 8:13am  Vitamin A and beta-carotene supplements are unsafe for HIV-positive women who breastfeed because they may boost the excretion of HIV in breast milk---thereby increasing the chances of transmitting the infection to the child, a pair of new studies suggest. Epidemiologist Eduardo Villamor of the University of Michigan School of Public Health says transmission of HIV through breastfeeding happens because breast milk carries viral particles that the baby ingests. Supplementing HIV-positive women with vitamin A and beta-carotene appears to increase the amount of the virus in milk........27 Aug 2010 at 2:00am Title: Study: BPA Linked to Higher Testosterone Levels Category: Health News Created: 8/27/2010 10:12:00 AM Last Editorial Review: 8/27/2010 10:12:58 AM 27 Aug 2010 at 2:00am Title: Black Rice Is Cheap Way to Get Antioxidants Category: Health News Created: 8/27/2010 10:06:00 AM Last Editorial Review: 8/27/2010 10:06:13 AM 27 Aug 2010 at 2:00am Title: Shared Decision-Making Is Better Than Solo Category: Health News Created: 8/27/2010 10:03:00 AM Last Editorial Review: 8/27/2010 10:03:26 AM 27 Aug 2010 at 2:00am Title: Egg Recall: FDA Finds Salmonella on Suspect Farms Category: Health News Created: 8/27/2010 9:58:00 AM Last Editorial Review: 8/27/2010 9:58:01 AM 27 Aug 2010 at 2:00am Title: Health Highlights: Aug. 26, 2010 Category: Health News Created: 8/26/2010 12:10:00 PM Last Editorial Review: 8/27/2010 27 Aug 2010 at 2:00am Title: Eggs Being Produced by Recall Farms Safe, if Pasteurized, Experts Say Category: Health News Created: 8/26/2010 12:10:00 PM Last Editorial Review: 8/27/2010 27 Aug 2010 at 2:00am Title: Bird Flu Detection Takes a Novel Turn Category: Health News Created: 8/26/2010 2:10:00 PM Last Editorial Review: 8/27/2010 27 Aug 2010 at 2:00am Title: Doctors' Religious Beliefs Can Color Their Care of Terminally Ill Category: Health News Created: 8/26/2010 2:10:00 PM Last Editorial Review: 8/27/2010 27 Aug 2010 at 2:00am Title: CDC Revises Death Estimates From Flu Category: Health News Created: 8/26/2010 2:10:00 PM Last Editorial Review: 8/27/2010 27 Aug 2010 at 2:00am Title: Quality of Pain Counts as Much as Intensity, Researchers Say Category: Health News Created: 8/26/2010 4:10:00 PM Last Editorial Review: 8/27/2010 27 Aug 2010 at 2:00am Title: Preexisting Health Issues Add to Problems for Disaster Survivors Category: Health News Created: 8/26/2010 4:10:00 PM Last Editorial Review: 8/27/2010 27 Aug 2010 at 2:00am Title: Long-Term Exercise Can Reduce Vets' Muscle Pain Category: Health News Created: 8/26/2010 6:10:00 PM Last Editorial Review: 8/27/2010 27 Aug 2010 at 2:00am Title: Does Hope Have a Dark Side?

They examined adiposity shifts across socio-demographic groups over time and found U.S. children and adolescents had significantly increased adiposity measures such as body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC) and triceps skinfold thickness (TST). The increases in adiposity were more pronounced in some sex-ethnic groups such as black girls. In addition, these groups gained more abdominal fat over time, which was indicated by waist size and posed greater health risks than elevated BMI. Their results are featured in the August 2010 issue of the International Journal of Pediatric Obesity. 17 Jun 2010 at 4:00pm A new study led by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health examines the content and messages presented by websites that appear to support or encourage eating disorders.

The study is the largest and most rigorous analysis of pro-eating disorder websites and it is available online in advance of print in the June 17 edition of the American Journal of Public Health. 12 May 2010 at 4:00pm Vitamin A is critical to maternal health and child survival, yet in most developing countries Vitamin A deficiency is a leading cause of blindness and increased child mortality. The Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health has long been a leader in vitamin A research, and scientists at the School recently discovered a link between offspring lung function and maternal vitamin A supplementation. The results are published in the May 13, 2010, issue of the New England Journal of Medicine. 11 May 2010 at 10:00am The Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health announced today that it has received a $100,000 Grand Challenges Explorations grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The grant will support an innovative global health research project conducted by Jason Rasgon, PhD, an assistant professor with the Johns Hopkins Malaria Research Institute, and his research to develop an evolution-proof pesticide for eliminating mosquitoes that transmit malaria to humans. 10 May 2010 at 3:30pm The survivors of Cyclone Nargis, which struck Burma (also known as Myanmar) in May 2008, continue to face challenges in rebuilding their lives, in lack of access to relief and reconstruction efforts, and in violations of basic rights more than one year after the storm, according to a study by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and Emergency Assistance Team--Burma. 4 May 2010 at 11:30am Leading physician policy experts are calling for changes in medical education policy at multiple levels to ensure that physicians are ready to treat the country s growing older adult population. In the May issue of Health Affairs, Chad Boult, MD, MPH, MBA, director of the Roger C. Lipitz Center for Integrated Health Care at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, and co-authors Steven R. Counsell, MD, Rosanne M. Leipzig, MD, PhD, and Robert A.

The results are published in the February issue of Injury Prevention and are available online at the journal s website. 1 Apr 2010 at 1:15pm Stacey DiLorenzo is joining the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health as senior director of communications. Starting April 1, DiLorenzo will lead the Bloomberg School s marketing and strategic communications, as well as oversee the day-to-day operations of the School s publications, media relations and web design teams. 1 Apr 2010 at 9:00am Beginning in the fall 2010, the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health will begin offering three new master s degree programs, the Master of Health Science (MHS) in Social Factors in Health, the Master of Health Science (MHS) degree in Health Economics, and the combined Bachelor of Arts and Master of Health Science (BA/MHS) degree program in Health Policy. The new degree programs are currently enrolling students for the 2010-2011 academic year. 29 Mar 2010 at 2:00pm A new study by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health examines the potential influence that the business connections between broiler chicken growers may have on the transmission of avian influenza, H5N1. According to the study, the risk of between-farm transmission is significantly greater among farms within the same company group than it is between farms with different company affiliation. The study is among the first to analyze the impact of company affiliation on the spread of diseases from farm to farm and it appears in the March 26 edition of PLoS One. 29 Mar 2010 at 12:00pm The International Journal of Epidemiology published a special issue today chronicling the development and recent use of the Lives Saved Tool (LiST: http://www.jhsph.edu/iip/list)--a user-friendly computer program that helps donor agencies and governments make investments in child survival programs for maximum impact. LiST was developed in the Child Health Epidemiology Research Group (CHERG) with funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation through the U.S. Fund for UNICEF. The special issue of International Journal of Epidemiology was edited by Neff Walker, PhD, a senior scientist with the Department of International Health at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, and is now available online (http://ije.oxfordjournals.org/content/vol39/suppl_1/). 18 Mar 2010 at 10:30am The Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health will receive nearly $15 million from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) for renovation and modernization of laboratory space at its main facility at 615 N. Wolfe Street in Baltimore, Md. The grant was awarded by the National Center for Research Resources, part of the National Institutes of Health. The renovation includes updating labs and new infrastructure in the 45-year old Hume Wing located on the building s north side along Monument Street. The nine-story wing was built in 1964 and houses 25 percent of the School s research laboratories. 16 Mar 2010 at 10:15am Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health conducted an analysis of worldwide use of Haemophilus influenza Type b vaccine (Hib) to determine what factors influenced a nation s adoption of the vaccine. The study found that a nation s eligibility for support from the Global Alliance for Vaccine and Immunization (GAVI) and whether a country s neighbors used the vaccine were major influencing factors in addition to price of the vaccine. The findings appear in the March 16 edition of PLoS Medicine. 8 Mar 2010 at 10:00am Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health have developed new methods for analyzing health data geographically. Typically, data are plotted spatially through a process known as geocoding in which mailing address information is translated into map coordinates. However, not all addresses can be converted successfully (nongeocodable). Rural postal routes, post office boxes, and addresses with errors or missing information cannot be mapped using geocoding. Health records linked with these type addresses have traditionally been discarded from analysis leading to concerns of bias and underreporting. In a study published February 10 in the journal PLoS ONE, the researchers develop and evaluate strategies for including nongeocoded data in spatial analysis. |
