Minimizing Hair Loss Due To Cancer Radiation Therapy
Discovering that mouse hair has a circadian clock - a 24-hour cycle of growth followed by restorative repair - researchers suspect that hair loss in humans from toxic cancer radiotherapy and chemotherapy might be minimized if these treatments are given late in the day. The study, which appears in the early online edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), found that mice lost 85 percent of their hair if they received radiation therapy in the morning, compared to a 17 percent loss when treatment occurred in the evening...

1. Older, Sicker Men Unlikely to Benefit from Aggressive Therapy for Newly Diagnosed Prostate Cancer Older men with localized prostate cancer and other serious health conditions may not benefit from aggressive treatment for their cancer. Surgery and radiation therapy are associated with serious side effects (erectile dysfunction, urinary incontinence, bowel problems) and are not likely to prolong life. Older men with several comorbid conditions are more likely to die of something other than prostate cancer within 10 years of diagnosis... (Source: Health News from Medical News Today)

NLST: CT detects twice as many lung cancers as X-ray at initial screening exam
(American College of Radiology) Low-dose CT scans detected twice as many early-stage lung cancers as chest X-ray on initial screening exam, according to additional National Lung Screening Trial results. Investigators say the 20 percent lung cancer mortality reduction previously reported in the NLST is achievable at experienced screening centers in the United States.

What Causes Spontaneous Pneumothorax?
Discussion “A pneumothorax is a collection of air in the pleural space, and it can be categorized into spontaneous, traumatic or iatrogenic. Spontaneous pneumothorax can be further classified into primary with no clinical evidence of underlying lung disease or secondary due to pre-existing lung disease.” Spontaneous pneumothorax is a condition that is relatively rare in pediatrics. There is a bimodal age distribution – neonates and late adolescence. It is caused by tearing of the visceral pleural. Clinical signs include chest pain, dyspnea, tachycardia, tracheal deviation towards contralateral side, hypot...
