The FDA approved for the first time in 30 years the indication of the anti-tumour Nexavar for the treatment of the liver cancer. Also, the medicine received approval of the European authorities.

The authorization of the FDA was based on the obtained positive results in the international study of phase III, controlled by placebo, SHARP (Sofafenib HCC Assessment Randomized Protocol; “Protocol randomized for the evaluation of sorafenib in CHC”) ( Aloe Vera ) that demonstrated that Nexavar prolongs in a 44% the global sobrelife of the patients of cancer of liver compared with placebo.

It is a treatment form that uses x-ray to very short distances. Direct radiation in the cancer is administered through implants radioactive, generally when placing removable radioactive seeds within the surgical site. He is able to administer radiation to the exact area where the tumor has been extracted, with minimum impact in the rest of mammary weaves.

The therapy is carried out through placing a catheter in the surgical cavity, after the lumpectomía or surgery of conservation. This it contains in his end a small globe that is inflated inside.

In Japan, to allergic people to a poisonous ivy an arm with the plant rubbed to them saying that she was innocuous and the other arm with an inoffensive ivy assuring that was poisonous. The 13 patients had sarpullidos in the arm rubbed with the inoffensive plant and only two presented/displayed reactions to the poisonous ivy. Far from to reframe their attitude towards the patient, those in favor of the pro-government medicine find in these results a confirmation on their accusations to the natural or alternative medicine of benefitting from the effect placebo.

What in appropriate situations it can save the life to us, becomes a mortal enemy when it extends in the time.

(HealthDay News) — Stanford researchers have found a way to significantly speed up the healing of broken bones in mice, a feat which, if replicated in humans, could mean people with fractures would be free of their casts a lot sooner.
“This has huge implications,” said Dr. Victor Khabie, co-director of the Orthopedic and Spine Institute at Northern Westchester Hospital in Mt. Kisco, N.Y. “Broken bones is a big problem, and this is just the tip of the iceberg.”

WEDNESDAY, May 12 (HealthDay News) — Elderly individuals who had fallen and then taken part in an intensive program to prevent falls were much less likely to fall again, a new study shows.

But proving something works is often a far cry from actually seeing it implemented, one expert noted.

“People have been proposing intervention programs like this for a long time,” said S. Jay Olshansky, a professor of public health and senior research scientist at the Center on Aging at the University of Illinois at Chicago. “We know that they work. The question is how much all of this costs,” he added.
