Dutch GPs would more advice on lifestyle
Dutch GPs feel they should spend more time on administration advice about the lifestyle of their patients. This is the main conclusion of an investigation into the practice of prevention in general, relates MedNet.nl .
The uniform criterion of peak V02 as a criterion for timing of cardiac transplantation questioned
The woman is not a man like any other. It has long been known in medicine that the differences between one and the other does limited either to the genital area, or to secondary sexual characteristics, but are ubiquitous. Thus a study Elmariah et al, published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology ( 2006; 47: 2237) conducted on nearly 600 patient (s) with heart failure shows that the data on oxygen consumption during an exercise test must be interpreted differently for the two sexes. The uniform criterion of peak VO2 to determine the timing of the transplant should be reviewed, at a time when a quarter of the transplanted heart in the U.S. are women.
A garden-sentinel allergic
is the French daily Liberation describing the square of grass in Nantes, which serves as a sentinel to see the upcoming allergy season.
"Created three years ago in the Jardin des Plantes of Nantes, this square weed has something to sneeze victims of hay fever. City gardeners have orders not to water those plants that are the official witnesses of early flowering. Let the 19 most common species in the area - grass (quackgrass, foxtail, orchardgrass, etc..) and eight species of tree - grows as in nature. Upon flowering, the dust collected on a glass slide black will anticipate the peak allergic to come, "said Libe .
Europe allows fluoxetine in children aged 8
Two years after the FDA, EMEA (European Medicines Agency) has approved the use of Prozac for children over 8 years second line after failure of a few sessions of psychotherapy (4-6), which should remain the first choice of treatment. The higher profits were retained risks, and new records therefore contain an indication for patients over 8 years. The EMEA has asked the strict conditions of use: fluoxetine only be prescribed after the failure of psychotherapy and treatment will not be prosecuted in the absence of improvement after nine weeks of treatment. The EMEA also asked Eli Lilly to conduct further studies on the use of the drug in children.

Hb, chronic renal insufficiency and risk of death in heart failure
Very high levels (17g/dL) or reduced (< 13g/dL) d’hémoglobine et une atteinte rénale chronique permettent de prédire indépendamment des risques substantiellement augmentés de décès et d’hospitalisation chez les patients souffrant d’insuffisance cardiaque, quel que soit l’état de la fonction systolique, concluent Go et al, auteurs d’une étude publiée dans Traffic ( 2006; 113: 2713).
clothing repellents?
Ah, summer, vacation, sun, great air ... and mosquitoes. A solution may be available soon: the insect repellent coat. Originally the idea had germinated in the minds of researchers in order to protect American soldiers from the perils of malaria, leishmaniasis and other diseases transmitted by insects by pretreating their uniforms to permethrin. But why not use the idea for civilians? The toxicity of permethrin is relatively low, the diffusion limited dermal and risk of allergy rare. The Environmental Protection Agency has approved its use in agriculture. But caution is still required because the data on the use of clothing impregnated with that substance is lacking.

nurses and doctor hostage Gadhafi: Enough!
Together against the Death Penalty, Lawyers Without Borders France and the Moroccan Observatory of Prisons launch an urgent appeal for the release of Bulgarian nurses and Palestinian doctor imprisoned in Libya, reports Egora.fr . We have repeatedly reported on this unbelievable case in which five Bulgarian nurses and a Palestinian doctor were arrested and accused of infecting hundreds of AIDS to children in pediatric hospital in Benghazi in Libya. We know that their death sentence has recently been broken, not for the benefit of a release, but to renew the travesty of justice gone. Some 30,000 people have already signed the petition requesting their release.
cardiopulmonary resuscitation: Man beats machine (JAMA)
standard cardiopulmonary resuscitation gives better results than automated chest compression, according to a study conducted by researchers at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine specializing in Emergency Medicine and published in JAMA of date ( 2006; 295: 2620 ). This result was clear to the point that the study was stopped prematurely. The study authors themselves describe these surprising results, the first tests of this new automated system has shown results considered very promising.
Stop treatment prematurely after stenting for myocardial infarction is very risky
Stop the medication too soon after insertion of drug-eluting stent (DES, Drug eluting stent) is extremely risky. A study by Spertus et al, published online by Circulation near a patient suffers a heart attack seven who were asked in a drug-eluting stent was no longer taking thienopyridines by 30 days after. However, this cessation of treatment is strongly linked to an increased subsequent mortality. "Strategies to improve the use of thienopyridines are therefore required to improve outcomes for patients suffering a myocardial infarction and treated by placement of a DES, thus stress the authors.

Ralph Lauren turns the fur from its collections

Broadband too expensive in Belgium
Belgians pay at least 5 euros per month more than their neighbors for access to broadband Internet. In twelve European countries at least, note Data News , users pay much less than ours. This is shown by a recent survey by Telecompaper. We pay on average 35.33 euros per month for 2 to 4 Mbps, while in the Netherlands, there is an average of 26.69 euros. But at the other end of the spectrum, the user pays Greek 137 euros per month for access to this type.
