CHOLESTEROL LEVELS IMPROVE FOR U.S. ADULTS
Testing blood cholesterol levels is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. Studies show that higher levels of the “bad” or L-D-L cholesterol and lower levels of the “good” or H-D-L cholesterol are major risk factors for coronary heart disease. A new study examined if American adults are making favorable progress when it comes to managing healthy levels of cholesterol. Catherine Dolf has more in this week’s JAMA Report.

LOWER NUMBER OF ANGIOPLASTIES PERFORMED IN STATES PUBLICLY REPORTING OUTCOMES OF THESE PROCEDURES
Patients treated for acute heart attack may undergo an angioplasty procedure and receive a coronary artery stent. Currently, some U.S. states are mandated to publicly report the outcome of those procedures. A new study examined if patients in states with mandatory outcome reporting were less likely to receive these procedures than patients in states who do not have mandatory reporting of these outcomes. Catherine Dolf explains in this week’s JAMA Report.

IN PATIENTS WITH ACUTE HEART ATTACKS USING NEW-GENERATION DRUG-ELUTING STENT MORE EFFECTIVE THAN BARE- METAL STENT
Time is crucial after an acute heart attack. Many patients undergo a primary percutaneous coronary intervention or P-C-I to open blocked coronary arteries. Cardiologists do this by implanting a stent made of metallic mesh in the involved artery. Some of these stents can also release medication. A new study examined whether the next-generation drug-eluting stent is more effective than a bare-metal stent. Catherine Dolf has more in this week’s JAMA Report.

COMPUTER-BASED SCREENING PROGRAM FOR PARTNER VIOLENCE DID NOT IMPROVE WOMEN’S HEALTH STATUS OR QUALITY OF LIFE
Preventing coronary heart disease should begin in early childhood. Monitoring serum lipids, which is a measure of all types of cholesterol found in our system is important. These measurements make it possible for physicians to find out if the balance between the H-D-L or good cholesterol and the L-D-L or bad cholesterol is in appropriate limits. A new study examined these levels in American children and teenagers. Catherine Dolf explains in this week's JAMA Report.

BETA INTERFERON NOT ASSOCIATED WITH REDUCING LONG-TERM DISEASE PROGRESSION IN PATIENTS WITH RELAPSING REMITTING M-S
Many patients diagnosed with multiple sclerosis experience a form of the disease known as relapsing-remitting M-S. They experience flare-ups when the immune system attacks the central nervous system. Recovery periods may follow the flare-ups as the disease moves into remission. Disease modifying drugs are prescribed to help reduce inflammation and disease activity. A new study examines the long-term use of beta interferon for patients with relapsing-remitting M-S. Catherine Dolf explains in this week’s JAMA Report.

STEPPED-CARE INTERVENTION EFFECTIVE FOR WEIGHT LOSS AND COSTS LESS TO IMPLEMENT THAN STANDARD TREATMENT
Most weight loss programs are rather intensive during the initial weeks of treatment. They can also be costly and require a huge time commitment. An alternative treatment is the stepped-care approach. This involves a lower-intensity intervention that only increases if a person’s weight loss goals are not met. A new study examines if the stepped-care approach is as effective as conventional weight loss treatments. Catherine Dolf has more in this week’s JAMA Report.

TELEPHONE ADMINISTERED COGNITIVE BEHAVORIAL THERAPY REDUCES RATES OF TREATMENT DISCONTINUATION AMONG PRIMARY CARE PATIENTS WITH DEPRESSION
Many patients experiencing depression prefer psychotherapy over taking antidepressant medications. However, around 75 percent of primary care patients who are diagnosed with depression experience barriers making it difficult for them to receive and continue regular therapy sessions. A new study examines whether cognitive behavioral therapy delivered over the telephone can be just as effective as seeing a therapist face-to-face.

SIX WAYS TO CUT WASTE AND IMPROVE QUALITY IN U-S HEALTH CARE
Nearly everyone agrees, health care costs in the United States are becoming unsustainable. These higher costs not only affect Medicare and Medicaid services but private sector health insurance as well. In an effort to reduce these costs, changes in payment levels, benefit structures and eligibility have been suggested. A less harmful strategy may be to reduce the waste in health care. Catherine Dolf has more in this week’s JAMA Report.

ADDING YEARLY ULTRASOUND OR SINGLE M-R-I TO MAMMOGRAPHY INCREASED BREAST CANCER DETECTION IN HIGH RISK WOMEN
For the majority of women a screening mammogram is effective in detecting breast cancer. However, for women who have dense breasts and an increased risk of breast cancer, adding other diagnostic tests may also help identify cancer that may not be seen on a mammogram. A new study examined whether adding a yearly ultrasound or a single M-R-I in addition to a mammogram can benefit women who have an increased risk of breast cancer. Catherine Dolf has more in this week’s JAMA Report.

HIGHER DRUG CO-PAYMENT FOR PRIVATELY INSURED CHILDREN WITH ASTHMA ASSOCIATED WITH LESS USE OF ASTHMA MEDICATION AND MORE HOSPITALIZATIONS
Medication needed to treat children with chronic asthma can be expensive. More private insurers are now shifting some of the cost of these drugs towards patients in an effort to control expenses. A new study examined whether these higher out-of-pocket expenses for privately insured children with asthma are associated with use of asthma medication and overall health. Catherine Dolf explains in this week’s JAMA Report.

HIGHER HOSPITAL SPENDING ASSOCIATED WITH LOWER READMISSION RATES, BETTER QUALITY OF CARE AND PATIENT SURVIVAL
There are many differences between health care in Canada and the United States. Canada has a universal system and spends about sixty percent of what the U-S spends per person on health care. There are also far fewer specialists and more selective use of specialized technologies in Canada. A new study looked at higher and lower spending hospitals in Ontario to see whether there was a difference in patient outcomes. Catherine Dolf explains in this week’s JAMA Report.

STUDY EXAMINES HIGH-RISK OPIATE USE AMONG IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN VETERANS WITH MENTAL HEALTH DISORDERS
Treating the physical and invisible wounds of many returning Iraq and Afghanistan veterans may involve the use of pain medications and other therapies. A new study found that U.S. veterans with mental health conditions, especially Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, were more likely than veterans without mental health disorders to receive opioid medications, but were also at increased risk for adverse clinical outcomes related to use of these drugs.

INFANTS RECEIVING ROTAVIRUS VACCINE SHOW NO INCREASED RISK FOR UNCOMMON BUT SERIOUS INTESTINAL DISORDER
A rare but serious intestinal disorder known as intussusception is most commonly seen in children less than a year old. Symptoms include abdominal pain, vomiting and bowel problems. A rotavirus vaccine was pulled from the market in 1999 because it was associated with an increased risk of the illness. A new study looks at whether or not a current rotavirus vaccine is also associated with increasing the risk of this condition. Catherine Dolf has more in this week's JAMA Report.

RE-OPERATION RATES AFTER PARTIAL MASTECTOMY VARY WIDELY FROM HOSPITAL TO HOSPITAL AND SURGEON TO SURGEON
After a breast cancer diagnosis the most common operation is breast conserving therapy or partial mastectomy. The goal is to surgically remove all the cancer and leave behind normal tissue, what's known as clear margins. Failure to attain these margins requires additional surgery. A new study looked at how re-operation rates can vary from hospital to hospital and surgeon to surgeon. Catherine Dolf explains in this week's JAMA Report.

COMMONLY PRESCRIBED ACID REFLUX MEDICATION NOT HELPFUL FOR CHILDREN WITH UNCONTROLLED ASTHMA
Acid reflux is common in many children with asthma. Medications known as proton pump inhibitors or P-P-I's help suppress stomach acid and are widely prescribed in clinical practice, even though it's still unclear whether or not they are effective in treating asthma symptoms. A new study tested this medication to see if it could help children whose asthma symptoms were poorly controlled. Catherine Dolf has more in this week's JAMA Report.

ANTI-PLATELET DRUG USEFUL TO BRIDGE PATIENTS WITH CORONARY STENTS TO CARDIAC SURGERY
Patients with coronary stents require medication that inhibits platelet activity and prevents clotting. However, if patients need additional surgery that medication must be stopped several days in advance because it increases the risk of major bleeding during the operation. A new study tested an investigational drug that decreases clotting risk and also leaves the system quicker after it is stopped so surgery can be performed without a major delay.

CALORIES, NOT PROTEIN, AFFECT FAT STORAGE AND WEIGHT GAIN IN THE BODY WHEN OVEREATING
The New Year brings countless resolutions for many Americans and always high on the list is losing weight and eating better. Sixty percent of U-S adults are overweight and more than thirty percent are obese. One reason for this is that many Americans tend to overeat. A new study finds that the amount of calories not protein, still determines whether you gain weight when you eat more than you should. Catherine Dolf explains in this week's JAMA Report.

EXPOSURE TO CORTICOSTEROIDS BEFORE BIRTH ASSOCIATED WITH BENEFITS FOR EXTREMELY PRE-MATURE INFANTS
A typical pregnancy may last anywhere from 38 to 42 weeks. Infants born at 25 weeks or less are considered extremely pre-mature and face a number of health issues including having under-developed lungs and not surviving their birth. A new study finds that babies born at 23 to 25 weeks who are exposed to corticosteroids before birth have an increased rate of survival and a lower risk for neurodevelopmental disorders after birth.

INVESTIGATIONAL CHOLESTEROL MEDICATION ALONE OR COMBINED WITH STATINS FOUND TO RAISE H-D-L AND LOWER L-D-L LEVELS
Statins have revolutionized cardiovascular disease prevention by helping lower "bad" cholesterol or L-D-L levels in the blood. However, even with lower L-D-L levels many patients are at risk for experiencing heart attack, stroke and other complications. Raising H-D-L or "good" cholesterol levels can help in reducing these risks but finding the right medication to do this has been challenging. A new study that tested an experimental medication from a different class of drugs has promising results. Catherine Dolf explains in this week's JAMA Report.

MEDICARE HEART FAILURE HOSPITALIZATIONS DOWN SUBSTANTIALLY WHILE HEART FAILURE DEATHS REMAIN HIGH
Heart failure affects about six million patients each year in the United States. It ranks as the most frequent cause of hospitalizations among older Americans. The disease is also expensive to treat with almost 40 billion dollars spent last year alone. A new study finds the number of Medicare patients hospitalized for heart failure has declined substantially but the death rate one year after being hospitalized for heart failure still remains high nationwide. Catherine Dolf has more in this week's JAMA Report.

HEALTHY MEN TAKING VITAMIN E SUPPLEMENTS HAVE INCREASED RISK OF DEVELOPING PROSTATE CANCER
Prior studies have shown a relationship between the supplements Selenium and Vitamin E and preventing prostate cancer. In 2008, researchers from the "SELECT" or Selenium and Vitamin E Cancer Prevention Trial found taking extra doses of these supplements did not help prevent the disease. Researchers then continued following the men even though they stopped taking the supplements. Long-term follow-up results show that men who took Vitamin E during the trial had an increased risk of developing prostate cancer. Catherine Dolf explains in this week's JAMA Report.

ADVANCE DIRECTIVES LIMITING END-OF-LIFE CARE ASSOCIATED WITH LOWER MEDICARE SPENDING IN CERTAIN REGIONS OF U.S.
Surveys show many patients nearing the end of their life do not wish to receive aggressive medical treatments including being connected to a respirator or having placement of a feeding tube. An advance directive such as a living will or a health care power of attorney can help ensure a patient's wishes will be carried out. A new study finds these advance directives, limiting end-of-life treatment in certain regions of the country are associated with lower Medicare spending, reduced likelihood of dying in a hospital, and increased use of hospice care. Catherine Dolf has more in this week's JAMA Report.

INCREASING DOSES OF SAW PALMETTO EXTRACT NOT EFFECTIVE FOR IMPROVING LOWER URINARY TRACT SYMPTOMS IN OLDER MEN
An enlarged prostate can become an issue for men as they age, potentially slowing or blocking urination and also causing other bothersome lower urinary tract symptoms. Plant extracts, including fruit from the Saw Palmetto plant have been widely used for these issues. A new study finds taking increased doses of Saw Palmetto extract produced no significant improvement for men with lower urinary tract symptoms. Catherine Dolf has more in this week's JAMA Report.

SEXUAL FUNCTION OUTCOMES CAN BE PREDICTED AMONG MEN FOLLOWING PROSTATE CANCER TREATMENT
Surviving prostate cancer treatment may lead to other health concerns for men. Sexual function issues are commonplace after treatment and pose significant consequences when it comes to quality of life. A new study finds that examining a patient's cancer severity, age and sexual function levels before treatment may help predict sexual outcomes after treatment.

NATIONWIDE GRADUATED DRIVER LICENSING PROGRAMS BENEFIT YOUNGER RATHER THAN OLDER TEEN DRIVERS
Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for American teenagers. In the last decade more than 23 thousand teenage drivers and 14 thousand of their passengers were killed in car crashes. A new study finds implementing nationwide graduated driver licensing programs are beneficial when it comes to keeping younger teens alive but are not associated with similar benefit when it comes to older teens.

UNCONSCIOUS RACE AND SOCIAL BIAS NOT RELATED TO CLINICAL ASSESSMENT AND DECISION MAKING FOR NEW MEDICAL STUDENTS
We all have unconscious preferences including for a person's race and social class. Studies have shown that physicians may act on those particular preferences when treating patients, even if they are not conscious about doing so, which might affect outcomes. A new study finds that while incoming medical students also have these unconscious preferences they did not influence how the students would assess and treat different types of patients.

CHOLESTEROL-LOWERING FOODS AND DIETARY ADVICE SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCES L-D-L LEVELS IN OLDER MEN AND WOMEN
Diet and lifestyle are important factors to help maintain healthy serum cholesterol levels. Efforts have been made to help reduce LDL or the "bad" cholesterol by introducing foods known to have cholesterol-lowering properties. A new study finds combining these foods with a low-saturated fat diet in addition to dietary advice, significantly lowers L-D-L levels. Catherine Dolf has more in this week's JAMA Report.

ANTI-PSYCHOTIC DRUG USED TO TREAT MILITARY-RELATED POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS NOT EFFECTIVE IN REDUCING SYMPTOMS
Today, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is the most common and costly psychiatric condition affecting U-S Veterans. In conjunction with other therapies, physicians use a variety of medications to help manage symptoms. However, a gap remains in their effectiveness. A new study finds that using an anti-psychotic medication commonly prescribed for military-related P-T-S-D is not effective for significantly reducing symptoms of the disorder.

YEARLY OVARIAN CANCER SCREENING ASSOCIATED WITH NO REDUCTION IN DEATH AND INCREASED FALSE POSITIVE TESTS
Ovarian cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer deaths among women. Early screenings including blood tests and ultrasound are used to help detect the disease. A new major study finds these screenings given to women with no history or symptoms do not help detect the cancer any earlier or decrease the risk of dying. In addition, the tests may produce a higher number of false positive results causing unnecessary surgeries leading to other complications. Catherine Dolf has more in this week's JAMA Report.

A major concern for patients having surgery or seeking medical care is that they will face increased risks if they are treated at night versus during the day. Nighttime medical care has been associated with worse outcomes in several areas. Results from a new study indicate that patients undergoing nighttime heart and lung transplants face no greater risks than patients operated on during the day.

EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT CLOSURES ASSOCIATED WITH ECONOMIC FACTORS INCLUDING COMPETITION AND FOR-PROFIT STATUS
The number of urban U-S hospital emergency departments shutting their doors continues to increase. While federal law requires hospitals to provide emergency treatment to anyone regardless of their ability to pay, hospitals are not required to operate an emergency department. A new study finds emergency departments at for-profit hospitals that are located in competitive markets, that have lower profit margins and serve a higher proportion of underinsured and poverty level patients have a higher risk of closure.

GAP STILL EXISTS IN DRUG THERAPY PRESCRIBED TO HEART PATIENTS BEFORE AND AFTER ANGIOPLASTY OR STENTING
Procedures involving coronary artery angioplasty or stenting known as P-C-I’s, are becoming increasingly more common for treating blockages in the heart. Recent studies have shown patients with stable heart disease who are taking optimal drug therapy didn’t receive any additional benefit from this procedure in terms of living longer or preventing heart attack. A new study finds there is still a gap in the number of heart patients receiving medical therapy both before and after their P-C-I procedures. Catherine Dolf has more in this week’s JAMA Report.

HEART BYPASS SURGERY LESS COMMON TODAY THAN A DECADE AGO
Restoring blood flow to blocked arteries in the heart may require either undergoing major surgery or less invasive procedures involving the use of a balloon or metal tubing called stents to help re-open the arteries. A new study reveals that coronary bypass surgery has declined in recent years even though more U-S hospitals are performing the procedure and it is being increasingly replaced by these other less invasive therapeutic options. Catherine Dolf has more in this week’s JAMA Report.

VITAMIN E AND THE DRUG METFORMIN NO BETTER THAN PLACEBO IN TREATING NONALCOHOLIC FATTY LIVER DISEASE IN OBESE CHILDREN
America’s overweight and obese children face another health concern known as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. It is the most common chronic liver condition in these youngsters and involves a buildup of fat in the liver which if undetected and untreated can increase the risk for developing heart disease as well as cirrhosis later in life. A new study examined whether taking Vitamin E or the diabetes medication Metformin, would help improve disease outcomes. Catherine Dolf explains in this week’s JAMA Report.

MEDICARE PATIENTS HAVE SHORTER HOSPITAL STAY AFTER HIP REPLACEMENT BUT REQUIRE MORE SKILLED CARE BEFORE GOING HOME
Hip replacement is becoming one of the most common procedures within the Medicare population. It’s estimated that 280 thousand procedures are performed yearly in the United States. A new study finds the death rate associated with the operation is low, hospital stays have shortened and readmission rates following hip replacement have increased as more patients are discharged to a skilled care center instead of going home. Catherine Dolf has more in this week’s JAMA Report.

PEOPLE WITH NO CLINICAL SYMPTOMS OF GENITAL HERPES BUT WHO ARE STILL INFECTED HAVE ACTIVE VIRUS ON ALMOST 10 PERCENT OF DAYS
Genital herpes remains one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases. Many people think they can only infect their sexual partners if they are showing symptoms, such as genital lesions. A new study finds that among those who test positive but have no clinical symptoms, the infection is still active and can be shedding in the genital tract, therefore posing a potentially increased risk of transmitting the infection to sexual partners. Catherine Dolf explains more in this week’s JAMA Report.

A WOMAN'S AGE ASSOCIATED WITH DIFFERING LONG-TERM HEALTH RISKS AND BENEFITS AFTER ESTROGEN-ONLY THERAPY
In 2004, the Women’s Health Initiative Estrogen-Only Trial was stopped one year early because of an increased risk of stroke and no overall health benefit for the postmenopausal women who had hysterectomies taking the medication. A new long-term study continued following many of the women after they stopped the estrogen and finds that their age was associated with certain ongoing health risks and benefits long after taking the last pill. Catherine Dolf explains more in this week’s JAMA Report.

RISK INCREASES FOR HEART ATTACK OR SUDDEN CARDIAC DEATH SHORTLY AFTER EPISODIC PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND SEXUAL ACTIVITY
Heart attack and cardiac arrest are major causes of illness and death every year in the United States. Decreasing the risk of these events is associated with being physically active on a regular basis. However, a new study finds certain people engaging in periodic physical activity and sexual activity may have an increased risk for serious cardiac events.

U-S SEES MAJOR DECLINE IN "PACK-A-DAY" OR HEAVY SMOKING RATES OVER THE LAST 40 YEARS WITH CALIFORNIA LEADING THE WAY
In the mid-1960s almost half of those who smoked cigarettes in this country were up to a ‘pack-a-day’ or more. That number began to decline in 1965 after the U-S Surgeon General issued the first report linking cancer and smoking. A new study finds that over the last 40 years heavy smoking rates tumbled but one state led the pack when it came to people who successfully quit or who never even started to smoke.

SURVIVAL AND RECURRENCE RATES NO WORSE FOR BREAST CANCER PATIENTS WHO UNDERGO LESS RADICAL LYMPH NODE SURGERY
Breast cancer surgery which involves removing a large number of lymph nodes is associated with a risk of complications. In the early 19-90s surgeons began performing a less invasive procedure, by removing a few lymph nodes closest to the tumor but only if those nodes were cancer free. A new study finds that breast cancer patients who had fewer lymph nodes removed did not have worse outcomes compared with patients having the more radical procedure. Catherine Dolf explains in this week’s JAMA Report.
