The FDA's Safety Alert on Avandia (Rosiglitazone)Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is aware of a potential safety issue related to Avandia (rosiglitazone), a drug approved to treat type 2 diabetes. Safety data from controlled clinical trials have shown that there is a potentially significant increase in the risk of heart attack and heart-related deaths in patients taking Avandia. However, other published and unpublished data from long-term clinical trials of Avandia, including an interim analysis of data from the RECORD trial (a large, ongoing, randomized open label trial) and unpublished reanalyses of data from DREAM (a previously conducted placebo-controlled,...

Overheard at The Great WallEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Amazing place, incredible views, brutally tough climb...I have to admit that scaling the Great Wall really kicked my ass. Husband and I had to take frequent breaks to catch our breath.It was a little disheartening to see little eight to ten year old girls whizz by us and realizing how out of shape we were.My weekly pilates sessions just didn't prepare me for the Great Climb. But it was all worth it for the view and most of all, the immense sense of history and achievement...It's also very telling when you return from a two week vacation much fitter then when you left. Though we did consume an obscene amount of food, we mus...

Why pediatrics was never an optionEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
I must admit that I'm not a huge fan of little kids. I don't know how to talk to them (in residency, I tended to refer to 3-4 yo old toddlers as "Mr. or Ms. Smith"), I don't interact with them all that well, and I generally don't do well with anxious parents. It's just not in my nature, and I've accepted that and stayed as far away from Peds as possible.However, there is the whole subspecialty of pediatric urology, which doesn't come into play until the pediatric urologist from our group goes on vacation and off pager. I absolutely DREAD those moments because it means I have to deal with the parent calls at night."The surg...

This is something I overheard recently during a non-medical social gathering. A woman was talking about a sad situation and uttered:"I want to cry, but I can't because I took 2 Wellbutrins this morning."Do anti-depressants really blunt your emotions to this degree? So many people are on them. There is no doubt that some patients really need them (I honestly wouldn't wish major depression on my worst enemy), but I do believe they are somewhat over-prescribed. They certainly help with depression and anxiety, but I fear that some patients develop a flat affect on them. Personally, I want to be able feel it all, whether it be good or bad.

I was consenting a patient today for a ureteroscopy for the treatment of a kidney stone. She asked me what the post-operative period would be like, and what her limitations would be in terms of activity.Since a ureteroscopy does not involve any surgical incisions at all (it's a purely endoscopic procedure), I predicted she would actually have few restrictions, if any at all. In fact, I told her that she could jog the next day if she felt like it.The patient glared at me and quipped: "do I look like I go jogging?"5'3, 210lbs, one pack a day habit... I guess the question was rhetorical and I was duly chastised....
