Ramosetron Shows Long-Term Efficacy in IBS-D without Alosetron's Adverse Side Effects
In a clinical review published in Clinical and Experimental Gastroenterology, researchers from Iwate Medical University in Japan evaluated the long-term safety and efficacy of the novel serotonin-receptor agonist ramosetron in patients suffering from diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D).
Gastric-Protective Aspirin Treatment Still Induces Peptic Ulcer
Even when it's administered in a low-dose form that resists gastric acid and prevents tablet dissolution in the stomach, aspirin therapy causes peptic ulcer and increases the risk of 30-day mortality resulting from gastrointestinal (GI) disorder progression.
Alzheimer's Study Cautions Against Dismissing Cognitive Complaints
Though memory concerns voiced by older adult patients often get dismissed as normal cognitive aging, a study from two national centers devoted to Alzheimer's disease research suggests cognitive complaints from at least two sources can accurately predict a non-demented patient's risk of developing dementia.
Physician Substance Abuse Policies Insufficient in Hospitals
An online commentary published in the May 22/May 29 edition of the Journal of the American Medical Association asserts that all hospitals should randomly test physicians for drug and alcohol abuse to increase patient safety.
Inadequate Vitamin D May Increase Risk of Certain Rheumatic Diseases
While substantial evidence already shows several genetic and environmental elements factor into immune-mediated rheumatic disease susceptibility, a recent review of hospital admissions data suggests vitamin D deficiency can single-handedly elevate a patient's risk of developing certain chronic conditions within that group of disorders.
Binge Eaters with Bipolar Disorder More Likely to Develop Other Psychiatric Illnesses
Research findings from a group of Midwest-based investigators suggest bipolar disorder (BD) is linked to different illness burdens in binge eaters compared to obese patients who do not experience compulsive episodes of uncontrollable overeating.
Though recent reviews were unable to provide evidence of efficacy for several complementary treatments for rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a group of researchers decided to clinically evaluate the effectiveness of static electric field therapy by high voltage alternating current (EF-HVAC) in the chronic inflammatory autoimmune disorder.
Transforaminal Morphine Effective for Lumbar Radicular Pain, But Not Superior to Tramadol Injection
Transforaminal epidural steroid injections (TFEI) have become a more common approach to relieving chronic lumbar radicular pain, but until now, no published clinical reports had directly compared morphine with tramadol for that indication.
Collaborative Primary Care Significantly Improves Depression Severity, Antidepressant Use
Depression patients monitored by physicians and care managers in a collaborative model have better antidepressant medication use and clinical outcomes than those treated in a traditional primary care setting, according to a comparison of the two delivery methods published in the May 2013 issue of Clinical Practice & Epidemiology in Mental Health.
FDA Adds Sprue-Like Enteropathy Warning to Blood Pressure Drug Label
With strong clinical evidence and adverse event reports linking Daiichi Sankyo's high blood pressure medication Benicar (olmesartan medoxomil) to the gastrointestinal condition known as sprue-like enteropathy, the US Food and Drug Administration has approved changes for the drug's label to include a warning about that risk.
Researchers Test Correlation between IBS Symptoms and Methane, Hydrogen Gas Concentrations
