| Central BP achieves the same with less Posted: 29 Sep 2013 05:00 PM PDT Using central, rather than brachial, blood pressure (BP) to guide treatment decisions results in patients with hypertension being given less medication, show results from a randomized trial. |
| LRTI and CAP incidence underestimated in oldest citizens Posted: 29 Sep 2013 05:00 PM PDT Data from the UK indicate that statistics on lower respiratory tract infection and community-acquired pneumonia in the over 65s probably underestimate their burden in the oldest patients. |
| Use of <i>SHOX2</i> DNA measurement improves cancer staging tools Posted: 29 Sep 2013 05:00 PM PDT Findings indicate that assessment of SHOX2 DNA methylation level in lymph node tissue improves the negative predictive value of endobronchial ultrasound with transbronchial needle aspiration, as well as endoscopic lung cancer staging in general. |
| Intercalated erlotinib/chemotherapy shows mixed results in NSCLC Posted: 29 Sep 2013 05:00 PM PDT A study comparing erlotinib alone with erlotinib intercalated with chemotherapy has failed to demonstrate a clear advantage of the combination strategy when used to treat relapsed patients with non-small-cell lung cancer, Dutch researchers report. |

| Intercalated erlotinib/chemotherapy shows mixed results in NSCLC Posted: 29 Sep 2013 05:00 PM PDT A study comparing erlotinib alone with erlotinib intercalated with chemotherapy has failed to demonstrate a clear advantage of the combination strategy when used to treat relapsed patients with non-small-cell lung cancer, Dutch researchers report. |
| Vitamin D levels linked to emphysema Posted: 29 Sep 2013 05:00 PM PDT Researchers have found a relationship between emphysema and serum vitamin D levels, suggesting that the vitamin may play a role in modulating lung structure. |
| Inpatient PSA levels ‘should be disregarded’ for prostate monitoring Posted: 29 Sep 2013 05:00 PM PDT Researchers from Korea say that inpatient prostate-specific antigen levels should be ignored for the purposes of serial monitoring, after finding that they are significantly reduced compared with outpatient levels. |
| Tool guides lymph node surgery in Asian prostate cancer patients Posted: 29 Sep 2013 05:00 PM PDT Researchers from Korea have developed a nomogram that predicts which Asian men with prostate cancer are most at risk for lymph node (LN) invasion. |
