Bispectral index benefits for postoperative recovery unclear Posted: 30 Jan 2013 04:00 PM PST A secondary analysis of two large clinical trials fails to settle the question of whether use of the bispectral index rather than end-tidal anesthetic concentration to monitor general anesthesia results in faster patient recovery.

Tributyltin exposure may cause ‘transgenerational obesity’ Posted: 29 Jan 2013 04:00 PM PST Research shows that offspring of mice exposed to low doses of the chemical tributyltin, used in paints, plastics, and other consumer products, have greater than normal body fat, liver fat, and fat-specific gene expression.

Pelvic floor exercises after RP ‘sufficient’ Posted: 29 Jan 2013 04:00 PM PST Performing pelvic floor muscle training both before and after radical prostatectomy is no more effective at reducing postoperative urinary incontinence than performing the exercises after surgery, report researchers.

Inflammation could hinder energy intake in advanced cancer Posted: 29 Jan 2013 04:00 PM PST Energy intake, particularly energy density, is positively associated with energy balance in patients with advanced cancer, report Swedish researchers.
