Public release date: 15-Dec-2011[ | E-mail | Share ] Contact: Justin Jacksonjjackson@burnsmc.com212-213-0006Burns McClellan Test also differentiates between types and stages of lung cancer; study results for Metabolomx’ colorimetric sensor array published in the Journal of Thoracic Oncology Mountain View, CA December 15, 2011 Metabolomx, a diagnostic company focused on the detection of the metabolomics signature of cancer from exhaled breath, today announces publication of results from the first clinical study demonstrating a breath test that can both detect lung cancer and differentiate between types of lung cancer in humans. This seminal study, conducted at the Cleveland Clinic and led by Dr. Peter Mazzone, used Metabolomx’ first-generation colorimetric sensor array, and reported accuracy exceeding 80% in lung cancer detection, comparable to computerized tomography (CT) scan. Further, the study found that Metabolomx’ first-generation colorimetric sensor array could identify the subtype of lung cancer (small cell versus adenocarcinoma versus squamous cell) with accuracy approaching 90%. The availability of a low-cost, non-invasive metabolomic breath signature for lung cancer is particularly timely given the recently announced results of the National Cancer Institute’s National Lung Screening Trial (NLST) calling for wider CT screening of high-risk citizens. The breath signature, which reports active tumor metabolism, is thought to provide complementary information to CT, potentially helping clinicians distinguish benign from malignant lung nodules. The sensor detects the unique pattern of volatile organic compounds (the “metabolic biosignature”) present in exhaled breath. The article, “Exhaled Breath Analysis with a Colorimetric Sensor Array for the Identification and Characterization….
American society is plagued via self-caused stress. Should this be one thing we pop pills for? Retrospectively, society accepts the unhealthiness of past types of medicated rigidity relief. It is generally widely wide-spread that smoking, for instance, causes more issues than it relieves. Why does The us swallow anti-anxiety drugs so freely, without being worried approximately destructive unwanted side effects? These are tough medicine that focus on chemical compounds in the brain. Medication will have to be the ultimate resort in any anti-anxiety therapy. First, people who suffer nervousness must be proactive and check out to unravel their concerns. One instance of a dysfunction that may be suddenly widely prescribed is Submit Traumatic Pressure Dysfunction (PTSD). PTSD was once first identified as a serious problem among veterans getting back from war. Those males suffered chilly sweats, panic attacks, nightmares, and compulsive conduct on account of close to death studies and the psychological ache of war. A few medical doctors are now claiming that this comparable stage of shock is often prompted in automotive injuries, they cite numbers as prime as 9% of car twist of fate sufferers endure ?important submit-annoying tension symptoms?. A few years in the past, I used to be in a rather serious automobile coincidence, and I experienced symptoms like these clinical journals described. I might steadily dissatisfied myself by living at the accident. I displayed obsessive behavior in that I have shyed away from left turns anyplace possible, even on abandoned streets. I may no longer….
For the past 13 years, North America’s medical community has had its own version of The Onion. The Canadian Medical Association Journal‘s “Holiday Reading” segment in its December issue brings satire and spoofing to its medical studies, with some unintended consequences. Host Audie Cornish talks with Barbara Sibbald, editor of the Canadian Medical Association Journal. Copyright ? 2011 National Public Radio?. For personal, noncommercial use only. See Terms of Use. For other uses, prior permission required. AUDIE CORNISH, HOST: When journalists want to take a quick vacation from the grind of world news, we turn to any number of fake, fun news sources, like The Onion or “The Daily Show.” But what about, say, doctors? To stay informed, they have to slog through loads of dry medical journals. Well, for the past 14 years, the Canadian Medical Association Journal, or CMAJ, has done what it can to help with their spoof research issue called “Holiday Reading.” Past issues presented a psychiatrist’s take on Winnie the Pooh and explored the annual expansion of the human stomach. That one, says CMAJ Deputy Editor Barbara Sibbald, came from real life, an errant stomach X-ray and a clever radiologist who thought: BARBARA SIBBALD: It looks like a little pie-shaped pouch. What if somebody can eat pie and have it in the pouch? So then he wrote it up as sort of a clinical thing, like during the holidays it’s good to have this pie-shaped pouch so you can eat extra dessert. CORNISH: You have….
WASHINGTON ? Homelessness among the nation’s veterans declined by about 12 percent during a one-year period ending January 2011, the Obama administration says. Officials said the drop is a sign of progress and that the administration is on track for reaching President Barack Obama’s goal of eliminating homelessness among veterans by 2015. In all, there are nearly 67,500 homeless veterans, according to a survey that thousands of communities around the country help to administer each January. More than 76,000 homeless vets were counted in the prior year’s survey. Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan attributed much of the drop to getting more veterans to participate in a voucher program that greatly subsidizes their housing costs. While Congress has regularly increased funding for the voucher program, thousands of veterans were not taking advantage of the help. “At the time we came into office in 2009, even though we had about 20,000 of those vouchers available; fewer than 5,000 veterans were actually using them and had successfully moved from the streets or shelters into permanent housing,” Donovan said. Officials said they were particularly encouraged with the results given that the drop occurred during a sluggish economy still shaking off the effects of a deep recession. Officials also said that there has been more emphasis on reaching out to veterans and families at risk of becoming homeless. Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki said that $100 million in grants will be made available over the coming year to help prevent veterans from becoming….
MANCHESTER, Iowa ? More than $1 million in negative advertising has eroded Newt Gingrich’s standing in Iowa and thrown the Republican presidential race here wide open two weeks before the first votes. Much of it has been bankrolled by Mitt Romney’s allies. Gingrich’s Iowa slide mirrors his newfound troubles nationally, and it has boosted Romney’s confidence while fueling talk that libertarian-leaning Texas Rep. Ron Paul could pull off a win on Jan. 3. Gingrich is dismissing the negative attacks, even as he acknowledges they have taken a toll on him. More attacks are expected. A Romney-aligned super PAC is going on the air with another $1.4 million in ads in the coming weeks, likely attacking Gingrich.
