Hospital stroke services to stay in Telford until review completed

Posted: Published on September 14th, 2013

Acute stroke patients will not be seen in Shrewsbury until a review of the service has been carried out, it has emerged. Stroke services were temporarily moved to the Princess Royal Hospital in Telford because of a shortage of consultants, although stroke rehabilitation services remain at both sites. The move had sparked fears that the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital might lose out and a petition calling for stroke and accident and emergency services to remain in the county town has now been signed by almost 8,500 people. But health chief insist patients are now getting faster access to stroke treatment than before. At the annual general meeting of the Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust yesterday, health bosses insisted no decisions had been made about the future of either hospital, but admitted stroke services would remain in Telford for the time being. Councillor Joy Jones, of Newtown, who set up the petition, asked chief executive Peter Herring if services would move back to Shrewsbury and if not, whether it would mean the town would also lose its full A&E department. Mr Herring said: We did move stroke services temporarily to Telford because we were a consultant down. We have now found … Continue reading →

'Male menopause' may stem from low estrogen

Posted: Published on September 14th, 2013

TV ads tout testosterone treatments for "low T," but surprising new research shows a different hormone may play a role in less sex drive and more fat as men age. Estrogen the female hormone is needed by men, too, and the study gives the first clear evidence that too little of it can cause certain "male menopause" symptoms. "A lot of things we think are due to testosterone deficiency are actually related to the estrogen deficiency that accompanies it," said Dr. Joel Finkelstein of Massachusetts General Hospital. He led the U.S.-government funded study, which appears in Thursday's New England Journal of Medicine. Testosterone is the main male sex hormone. Men's bodies convert some of it into estrogen, and levels of both decline with age. Until now, there was no way to tell which hormone was responsible for complaints of diminished libido, strength and energy. Millions of men have been prescribed testosterone gel, patches or shots for these problems, but it's not known how much they need or whether this hormone replacement therapy is good, bad or neutral, Finkelstein said. Doctors don't usually prescribe estrogen to men; the way to remedy low estrogen is to give them testosterone and let the … Continue reading →

Estrogen-Only Hormone Replacement Therapy Could Lower Pancreatic Cancer Risk

Posted: Published on September 14th, 2013

By Rachael Rettner, Senior Writer Published: 09/13/2013 10:06 AM EDT on LiveScience One type of hormone replacement therapy for postmenopausal women may decrease the risk of pancreatic cancer, a new study suggests. In the study, women from California who took estrogen-only hormone replacement therapy for symptoms of menopause were 41 percent less likely to develop pancreatic cancer over a 14-year period than women who never took hormone replacement therapy. Estrogen-only hormone replacement therapy (HRT) contains the female hormone estrogen by itself, as opposed to in combination with other hormones, such as progestin. Because estrogen by itself may increase the risk of uterine cancer, estrogen-only HRT is generally prescribed only to women who've had their uterus removed (a hysterectomy). However, in contrast to the results with estrogen-only HRT, the study also found another type of estrogen-containing medication -- birth control pills -- were linked with an increased risk of pancreatic cancer when used over the long term. [7 Surprising Facts about The Pill] Women who took oral contraception for 10 years or more had a 72 percent greater risk of developing pancreatic cancer than those who had never used oral contraception. The study found associations, and cannot prove that estrogen -- … Continue reading →

Vatican-backed stem cell research gets $1.2-M US grant

Posted: Published on September 14th, 2013

WASHINGTON - A Vatican-backed US company that researches an alternative to embryonic stem cells on Friday received a $1.2 million dollar government grant, despite independent studies that question whether their product even exists. NeoStem, a New Jersey-headquartered company, is investigating very small embryonic-like (VSEL) cells found in adult bone marrow that they say may be able to regrow into different kinds of tissue. The research has stirred controversy due to NeoStem's marketing partnership with the Vatican and three independent studies that have been unable to confirm the cells are even there. The latest peer-reviewed grant, totaling $1,221,854, was provided by the US National Institutes of Health for research on an experimental drug that could regenerate bone tissue damaged by periodontitis, a serious gum disease. The company, along with other partner institutions, has already received $4.5 million in government research grants, including from the Department of Defense and the NIH.
