But a new study suggests sport participation is not only safe -- it may even help people gain better knee function. 12 Mar 2010 at 5:46am AFP - More than 10,000 people who worked in the toxic chaos of New York's Ground Zero after 9/11 could receive compensation totaling 657 million dollars for health problems under a deal reached Thursday. |
12 Mar 2010 at 8:15am Early detection is key to more effective therapy for Alzheimer's disease and other forms of cognitive impairment, and new research shows that a test developed at the University of Tennessee is more than 95 percent effective in detecting cognitive abnormalities linked to these diseases. The test, called CST -- for computerized self test -- was designed to be both effective and relatively simple for medical professionals to administer and for patients to take........12 Mar 2010 at 8:15am  French medical scientists from the AP-HP (Henri Mondor Hospital and Avicenne Hospital) and Inserm (Unit 738 "Models and methods for therapeutic assessment of chronic illnesses" and CIC 202, at Tours) have recently demonstrated the effectiveness of a new molecule in the fight against lice. Faced with the emergence of increasing resistance to conventional therapys by these parasites, this new medicine represents a real therapeutic alternative which is effective in 95% of cases........12 Mar 2010 at 8:15am  While there are a number of benefits of losing weight, weight reduction also might negatively affect bones in the body. During weight loss, bones are being remodeled - breaking down old bone and forming new bone - at an accelerated rate. As a result, bone density is reduced, causing increased fragility. In a newly released study, University of Missouri scientists observed that weight-bearing exercise, in this case, fast walking or jogging, did not prevent the increased bone turnover caused by weight loss........12 Mar 2010 at 8:15am  R-rated movies portray violence and other behaviors deemed inappropriate for children under 17 year of age. A newly released study finds one more reason why parents should not let their kids watch those movies: adolescents who watch R-rated movies are more likely to try alcohol at a young age. Reported in the recent issue of Prevention Science, a scientific journal of the Society for Prevention Research, the study of 6,255 children examined the relationship between watching R-rated movies and the probability of alcohol use across different levels of "sensation seeking," which is a tendency to seek out risky experiences. The study was funded by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism and conducted by James D. Sargent, MD, a pediatrician at Dartmouth Medical School. The children were surveyed every 8 months for a period of two years from 2003 through 2005........12 Mar 2010 at 8:15am  Helicobacter pylori, a bacterium found in about 50% of humans worldwide, can cause stomach ulcers and, in extreme cases, gastric cancer. In an article for F1000 Medicine Reports, Seiji Shiota and Yoshio Yamaoka discuss the possible eradication of H. pylori infections. Infection by the H. pylori bacterium can approach 100% in developing countries. Most infected people do not have symptoms, but a number of develop problems including stomach ulcers. H. pylori causes more than 90% of all duodenal ulcers and can also contribute to the development of gastric cancer, which is one of the world's biggest medical problems........12 Mar 2010 at 8:15am  Replaying recent events in the area of the brain called the hippocampus may have less to do with creating long-term memories, as researchers have suspected, than with an active decision-making process, suggests a newly released study by scientists at Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Minnesota Medical School........12 Mar 2010 at 8:15am  Common wisdom tells us that for a successful relationship partners shouldn't go to bed angry. But new research from a psychology expert at Harvard University suggests that brain activityspecifically in the region called the lateral prefrontal cortexis a far better indicator of how someone will feel in the days following a fight with his or her partner........12 Mar 2010 at 8:15am  Removal of the ovaries (bilateral oophorectomy) while performing a hysterectomy is common practice to prevent the subsequent development of ovary cancer. This prophylactic procedure is performed in 55% of all U.S. women having a hysterectomy, or approximately 300,000 times each year. An article in the March/recent issue of The Journal of Minimally Invasive Gynecology suggests that this procedure may do more harm than good........12 Mar 2010 at 8:15am  The humble papaya is gaining credibility in Western medicine for anticancer powers that folk cultures have recognized for generations. University of Florida researcher Nam Dang, M.D., Ph.D., and his colleagues in Japan have documented papaya's dramatic anticancer effect against a broad range of lab-grown tumors, including cancers of the cervix, breast, liver, lung and pancreas. The scientists used an extract made from dried papaya leaves, and the anticancer effects were stronger when cells received larger doses of the tea........12 Mar 2010 at 8:15am  Throwing arm injuries are on the rise in Little League and other youth baseball programs. After these injuries occur, a number of players are out for the season; others require surgery and must refrain from play for an even longer duration; still others sustain injuries so severe that they cause permanent damage and are unable to continue playing baseball........12 Mar 2010 at 8:15am  Some anti-depressant drugs are linked to an increased chance of developing cataracts, as per a new statistical study by scientists at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver Coastal Health Research Institute and McGill University. The study, based on a database of more than 200,000 Quebec residents aged 65 and older, showed statistical relationships between a diagnosis of cataracts or cataract surgery and the class of drugs called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), as well as between cataracts and specific drugs within that class........12 Mar 2010 at 8:15am  An asthma program specifically tailored to teens could help those in rural areas manage their disease and avoid potentially fatal complications, Medical College of Georgia researchers say. Black males have a death rate from asthma that is six times greater than their white counterparts, and Dr. Dennis Ownby, chief in the MCG School of Medicine Section of Allergy and Immunology, believes asthma rates are as bad in rural areas as they are in inner cities........12 Mar 2010 at 8:15am  Scientists at Yale School of Medicine have discovered that exposure during pregnancy to Bisphenol A (BPA), a common component of plastics, causes permanent abnormalities in the uterus of offspring, including alteration in their DNA. The findings were published in the recent issue of Journal of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB J.)........12 Mar 2010 at 8:15am  A new method of growing arteries could lead to a "biological bypass"or a non-invasive way to treat coronary artery disease, Yale School of Medicine scientists report with their colleagues in the recent issue of Journal of Clinical Investigation. Coronary arteries can become blocked with plaque, leading to a decrease in the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart. Over time this blockage can lead to debilitating chest pain or heart attack. Severe blockages in multiple major vessels may require coronary artery bypass graft surgery, a major invasive surgery........12 Mar 2010 at 8:15am  Researchers at the University of Copenhagen have discovered that Vitamin D is crucial to activating our immune defenses and that without sufficient intake of the vitamin, the killer cells of the immune system T cells - will not be able to react to and fight off serious infections in the body. For T cells to detect and kill foreign pathogens such as clumps of bacteria or viruses, the cells must first be 'triggered' into action and 'transform' from inactive and harmless immune cells into killer cells that are primed to seek out and destroy all traces of a foreign pathogen........5 Mar 2010 at 1:00am Title: Blood Test May Predict Colon Cancer Spread Category: Health News Created: 3/5/2010 10:50:00 AM Last Editorial Review: 3/5/2010 10:50:46 AM 5 Mar 2010 at 1:00am Title: Kitchens, Bathrooms No Place for Vitamins Category: Health News Created: 3/5/2010 10:43:00 AM Last Editorial Review: 3/5/2010 10:43:07 AM 5 Mar 2010 at 1:00am Title: New Guidelines for Prostate Cancer Screening Category: Health News Created: 3/5/2010 10:32:00 AM Last Editorial Review: 3/5/2010 10:32:26 AM 5 Mar 2010 at 1:00am Title: Good Diet May Aid Ovarian Cancer Survival Category: Health News Created: 3/5/2010 10:26:00 AM Last Editorial Review: 3/5/2010 10:26:12 AM 5 Mar 2010 at 1:00am Title: Health Highlights: March 4, 2010 Category: Health News Created: 3/4/2010 12:10:00 PM Last Editorial Review: 3/5/2010 5 Mar 2010 at 1:00am Title: Shoulder Dislocations a Sports Hazard Category: Health News Created: 3/4/2010 12:10:00 PM Last Editorial Review: 3/5/2010 5 Mar 2010 at 1:00am Title: Vaccine for Asbestos-Related Cancer Looks Safe Category: Health News Created: 3/4/2010 12:10:00 PM Last Editorial Review: 3/5/2010 5 Mar 2010 at 1:00am Title: People With Asthma More Likely to Be Depressed Category: Health News Created: 3/4/2010 12:10:00 PM Last Editorial Review: 3/5/2010 5 Mar 2010 at 1:00am Title: Heartburn Drug Kapidex Renamed to Dexilant Category: Health News Created: 3/4/2010 2:10:00 PM Last Editorial Review: 3/5/2010 5 Mar 2010 at 1:00am Title: Gut Bacteria May Spur Obesity, Research Suggests Category: Health News Created: 3/4/2010 2:10:00 PM Last Editorial Review: 3/5/2010 5 Mar 2010 at 1:00am Title: Gene Sequencing Yields Picture of Human Gut Category: Health News Created: 3/4/2010 2:10:00 PM Last Editorial Review: 3/5/2010 5 Mar 2010 at 1:00am Title: As Temperatures Rise, So Do Cocaine Deaths Category: Health News Created: 3/4/2010 6:10:00 PM Last Editorial Review: 3/5/2010 5 Mar 2010 at 1:00am Title: Hearts of Hospice Patients Being Needlessly Shocked Category: Health News Created: 3/4/2010 6:10:00 PM Last Editorial Review: 3/5/2010 5 Mar 2010 at 1:00am Title: Years of Exposure to Traffic Pollution Raises Blood Pressure Category: Health News Created: 3/4/2010 8:10:00 PM Last Editorial Review: 3/5/2010 5 Mar 2010 at 1:00am Title: Air Travel Could Raise Risk for Heartbeat Irregularities Category: Health News Created: 3/4/2010 8:10:00 PM Last Editorial Review: 3/5/2010 |

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. 4 Mar 2010 at 9:45am Measurements of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) more accurately identify persons at risk for clinical outcomes than the commonly used measurement of fasting glucose, according to a study by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. HbA1c levels accurately predict future diabetes, and they better predict stroke, heart disease and all-cause mortality as well. The study appeared in the March 4, 2010, issue of New England Journal of Medicine. 3 Mar 2010 at 11:00am The Institute for Global Tobacco Control (IGTC) at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health now offers training in all six official United Nations languages. The translated learning course, Global Tobacco Control: Learning from the Experts is available in Spanish, French, Russian, Arabic and Chinese, as well as English. The content is available free of charge at GlobalTobaccoControl.org, a site funded by Bloomberg Philanthropies. 2 Mar 2010 at 9:15am Mosquitoes--not birds as suspected--may have a played a primary role in spreading West Nile virus westward across the United States, according to a study by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. The study is among the first to examine the role of mosquitoes in the dispersion of West Nile virus across the U.S. and is published in the March 2 edition of Molecular Ecology. 17 Feb 2010 at 11:15am Approximately 66 percent of respondents to a Maryland telephone survey do not have advance medical directives, according to a new report by researchers from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health s Department of Health Policy and Management. Younger adults and blacks were less likely than older adults and whites, respectively, to report having an advance directive, which includes the living will and health care power of attorney. Advance directive is an end-of-life planning tool that provides instructions for types of medical treatment that are desired and/or who can make decisions about medical care should someone be unable to do so for him or herself. The results will be published in an upcoming issue of Health Policy and are available online at the journal s website. 11 Feb 2010 at 8:00am Carl E. Taylor, MD, DrPH, founder of the academic discipline of international health and a man of spiritual conviction who dedicated his life to the well-being of the world's marginalized people, passed away February 4 from prostate cancer. He was 93. The reach of his life was extraordinary, personally working in over 70 countries and having students from more than 100 countries. 28 Jan 2010 at 1:00pm The results from two new studies from Mexico and Africa conclude that rotavirus vaccination can significantly reduce deaths from diarrheal disease among young children in developing countries. The studies are published in the January 28 edition of the New England Journal of Medicine. In an accompanying editorial, Mathuram Santosham, MD, MPH, a pediatrician and professor of International Health at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, writes that the data support the use of rotavirus vaccines in the poorest countries in the world. 12 Jan 2010 at 11:15am The death rate from injuries in rural areas of China is higher than in urban areas, according to a new study by researchers from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health s Center for Injury Research and Policy. Rural males of all ages were 47 percent more likely to die from injuries than urban males, and the overall rate in rural females was 33 percent higher than in urban females. For babies under one year of age, unintentional suffocation was the most important source of the total urban-rural disparity, whereas drowning was the great contributor to disparity among children ages 1 to 4 years. At the other end of the age spectrum, suicide accounted for the bulk of the disparity for both men and women. The report is published in the winter 2010 issue of The Journal of Rural Health. 6 Jan 2010 at 1:30pm High antiretroviral therapy adherence, which has been shown to be a major predictor of HIV disease progression and survival, is now associated with lower health care costs, according to researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Researchers examined the effect of antiretroviral therapy adherence on direct health care costs and found that antiretroviral therapy improves health outcomes for people infected with HIV, saving a net overall median monthly health care cost of $85 per patient. The results are featured in the January 5, 2010, issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine. 31 Dec 2009 at 10:30am The April 2009 H1N1 outbreak at a Queens, New York, high school was widespread but did not cause severe disease, according to an analysis conducted by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and researchers from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Their findings suggest that the transmission and spread of novel H1N1 influenza are similar to those of seasonal influenza strains. The results appear in the December 31 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine. 21 Dec 2009 at 10:00am Scientists have identified a strain of antibiotic-resistant tuberculosis that thrives in the presence of rifampin, a front-line drug in the treatment of tuberculosis. The bacterium was identified in a patient in China and is described in a study by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Chongqing Pulmonary Hospital, Lanzhou University and Fudan University. The researchers determined that the bacteria grew poorly in the absence of the antibiotic rifampin and better in the presence of the drug. They also observed that the patient s condition grew worse with treatment regimens containing rifampin, before being cured with rifampin-free regimens. The study, which will appear in the January 2010 issue of The International Journal of Tuberculosis and Lung Disease, is among the first to document the treatment of a patient with rifampin-dependent infection. 15 Dec 2009 at 12:00pm Volunteer service, such as tutoring children, can help older adults delay or reverse declining brain function, according to a study led by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), the researchers found that seniors participating in a youth mentoring program made gains in key brain regions that support cognitive abilities important to planning and organizing one s daily life. The study is the first of its kind to demonstrate that valuable social service programs, such as Experience Corps--a program designed to both benefit children and older adults health--can have the added benefits of improving the cognitive abilities of older adults, enhancing their quality of life. The study is published in the December issue of the Journals of Gerontology: Medical Sciences. 9 Dec 2009 at 12:00pm There is no safe level for secondhand smoke exposure and we know that exposure to tobacco smoke can lead to serious health consequences, said Michael J. Klag, MD, MPH, dean of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. This report defines the progress that has been made globally towards limiting exposure to harmful secondhand smoke while defining where additional progress is needed. 8 Dec 2009 at 9:30am The Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health has established the International Vaccine Access Center (IVAC) to increase access to lifesaving vaccines by overcoming many of the obstacles that often delay vaccine usage and distribution. 2 Dec 2009 at 4:00pm The Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health s International Injury Research Unit (IIRU) and Center for Injury Research and Policy today announced that Adnan A. Hyder, MD, PhD, MPH, associate professor with the Bloomberg School s Department of International Health and director of the IIRU, will lead the School s effort on Michael Bloomberg s $125 million Global Road Safety Program. The IIRU will join forces with five partner organizations, including the World Health Organization, to implement and coordinate activities with local governmental and non-governmental organizations in 10 countries to avert injuries and fatalities caused by road traffic crashes. |
