High levels of homocysteine in the blood have been associated with increased risk of coronary artery disease and stroke. Researchers in Norway studied whether using B vitamins such as folic acid and B twelve to lower homocysteine levels could help prevent cardiovascular events in patients. While homocysteine levels did improve, overall risk for patients did not. ]]> YahooPartnerVideoID Blip post id 1199342 http://blip.tv/file/1193206 Health the jama report b vitamins heart attack stroke coronary artery disease folic acid risk haukeland university hospital Thu, 21 Aug 2008 21:13:38 +0000 the jama report, b vitamins, heart attack, stroke, coronary artery disease, folic acid, risk, haukeland university hospital http://a.images.blip.tv/TheJAMAREPORT-STUDYFINDSBVITAMINSDONOTHELPPREVENTHEARTATTACKSORSTRO962-991.jpg the jama report, b vitamins, heart attack, stroke, coronary artery disease, folic acid, risk, haukeland university hospital ]]> STUDY FINDS B VITAMINS DO NOT HELP PREVENT HEART ATTACKS OR STROKE http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/ 99D33436-6FC5-11DD-AAA3-9C84AD23ED4E http://blip.tv/the-jama-report/military-troops-returning-from-combat-may-experience-binge-drinking-and-alcohol-related-problems-1199331 The JAMA REPORT 113895 thejamareport the-jama-report The JAMA REPORT http://blip.tv/the-jama-report http://a.images.blip.tv/user_photo_TheJAMAREPORT822-496.jpg 1199331 1193195 file TV-UN 0.0 2008-08-21T21:10:37Z English 0 0 0 134 AcmaRwI http://blip.tv/play/AcmaRwI http://blip.tv/comments/?attached_to=post1199331&skin=rss TheJAMAREPORT-MILITARYTROOPSRETURNINGFROMCOMBATMAYEXPERIENCEBINGEDRINK180-47.jpg http://a.images.blip.tv/TheJAMAREPORT-MILITARYTROOPSRETURNINGFROMCOMBATMAYEXPERIENCEBINGEDRINK180-47-649.jpg Creative Commons Attribution 2.0

Antidepressants, known as SRIs or serotonin reuptake inhibitors, are the most frequently prescribed medications in the U.S. for adults with depression. For many women, who have almost twice the rate of depression compared to men, they can be very effective. But they are also associated with sexual side effects.

The Medicare Modernization Act of 2003 changed the way physicians are reimbursed for chemotherapy drugs. Reimbursement payments have been reduced to more closely reflect the actual cost physicians pay for the drugs. There was concern among some patient advocate groups that this change would negatively impact access to care for Medicare patients.

Early detection of breast cancer is critical when it comes to saving thousands of lives each year. Mammography is the best test for early detection but mammograms can miss some cancers. This can happen with any woman but especially those who have dense breast tissue which makes finding cancer that much more difficult. Now a new study looking at women with this type of breast tissue indicates that combining mammography with a screening ultrasound increases the accuracy rate of finding breast cancer. ]]> YahooPartnerVideoID Blip post id 915907 http://blip.tv/file/909462 Health jama report breast cancer mammography smoking cancer high risk death detection women disease ultrasound screening hospital check up daily Thu, 15 May 2008 17:10:59 +0000 jama report, breast cancer, mammography, smoking, cancer, high risk, death, detection, women, disease, ultrasound, screening, hospital, check up, daily http://a.images.blip.tv/TheJAMAREPORT-COMBINATIONOFMAMMOGRAPHYANDULTRASOUNDINCREASESDETECTIONOF782-729.jpg jama report, breast cancer, mammography, smoking, cancer, high risk, death, detection, women, disease, ultrasound, screening, hospital, check up, daily ]]> COMBINATION OF MAMMOGRAPHY AND ULTRASOUND INCREASES DETECTION OF BREAST CANCER IN HIGH RISK PATIENTS http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/ F5F4C030-1D28-11DD-9EAA-8B781D1CBB31 http://blip.tv/the-jama-report/women-who-quit-smoking-can-decrease-their-risk-of-certain-fatal-diseases-within-just-five-years-895855 The JAMA REPORT 113895 thejamareport the-jama-report The JAMA REPORT http://blip.tv/the-jama-report http://a.images.blip.tv/user_photo_TheJAMAREPORT822-496.jpg 895855 889398 file TV-UN 0.0 2008-05-08T18:02:45Z English 0 0 0 142 AbbXUwI http://blip.tv/play/AbbXUwI http://blip.tv/comments/?attached_to=post895855&skin=rss TheJAMAREPORT-WOMENWHOQUITSMOKINGCANDECREASETHEIRRISKOFCERTAINFATAL707-429.jpg http://a.images.blip.tv/TheJAMAREPORT-WOMENWHOQUITSMOKINGCANDECREASETHEIRRISKOFCERTAINFATAL707-429-209.jpg Creative Commons Attribution 2.0
