Dr. Christina Leung: This is Christina Leung reporting for insidermedicinein60 from Switzerland. According to research in the journal Circulation, continuous exercise helps improve blood vessel function after a heart attack. However, researchers also found that the benefits of exercise disappeared within one month of cessation. The researchers suggest that patients try several types of exercise to avoid boredom and promote better long-term adherence.
From Houston, according to research in the Archives of Surgery, obese patients have an increased risk of node positive pancreatic cancer. In a study of 285 patients, researchers found that 95% of those with a BMI over 35 had positive lymph nodes, compared to 56% among all patients. Having a BMI over 35 was also associated with an increased risk of disease recurrence.
Finally, from Washington, according to research presented to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, children are showing fewer signs of severe asthma now than a decade ago. Patients treated between 2004 and 2007 showed significantly lower use of oral corticosteroids and rescue albuterol than those treated from 1993 to 1997. The more recent cohort also had better mean lung function.
For Insidermedicinein60, I'm Dr. Christina Leung.
