Tufts Study: Secondhand Smoke As Harmful To Pets As To People
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Ten years ago, Shirley Worthington rushed Tigger to the vet when the dog’s mouth started bleeding. When she was told he had cancer, she knew to blame her heavy smoking, an addiction she couldn’t kick until after her pet died.
Secondhand smoke can cause lung and nasal cancer in dogs, malignant lymphoma in cats and allergy and respiratory problems in both animals, according to studies done at Tufts University’s School of Veterinary Medicine in Massachusetts, Colorado State University and other schools.
The number of pets that die each year from tobacco exposure isn’t available, bu...

Disease prevention: what's really important?
Preventable chronic disease has proven to be a stubborn problem, responsible for 60% of deaths worldwide, and its associated morbidity and mortality has not changed in 40 years. The real issue in disease prevention is the lack of progress and the seeming absence of innovation.1 Beedie et al's2 recent editorial reminds us of the importance of phase IV trials to study effectiveness, not just efficacy, of exercise, arguing that what matters to those who make funding decisions are health outcomes, not proxy measures. We argue that these are also the outcomes that matter to the people whom these interventions are supposed ...

Where is the care in healthcare? How health systems are feeding their own negative spiral of cost and disability
Musculoskeletal (MSK) pain is a global problem: low back pain, neck pain and osteoarthritis are leading causes for disability worldwide. Exercise therapy has historically been a dark horse in MSK treatment, with pain-medication, injection and surgery representing the elixir of medical management. However, given the questionable evidence for these procedures that are not without risk, one could argue that exercise prescribed within a biopsychosocial framework may be considered a panacea for many diseases including MSK pain.1 2 Unfortunately, a major problem with exercise therapy is compliance with long-term strategies deman...
