A Closer Look: Environmental cancer risks may be more dangerous than you think. Allergies 'slash risk of cancer': They help to boost immune system, say experts. By Daniel Bates Updated: 06:51 GMT, 24 May 2010 Allergy sufferers are far less likely to contract cancer than everyone else, say scientists.
They believe that adverse reactions stimulate the immune system, helping to ward off other potentially fatal conditions. They found that asthmatics were 30 per cent less likely to get ovarian cancer than others, and children with allergies to airborne substances were 40 per cent less likely to develop leukemia than other youngsters. Protection: Having an allergy can stimulate the immune system and help to protect against cancer and other potentially fatal conditions 'More work is still needed, but the numbers show that allergy is a statistically significant protective factor,' said Dr Zuber Mulla, an epidemiologist at Texas Tech University, who led the ovarian cancer study. Medical researchers have long suspected an association between allergies and cancer, but studies have yielded mixed results.
Can Lower Doses of EGFR Inhibitor Therapy Still be Effective? One nagging question that people often ask about, or at least worry about, is whether they are compromising their ability to benefit from an EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) like Tarceva (erlotinib) or Iressa (gefitinib) if they need to cut down on the dose because of problems with side effects.
Anecdotally, I think just about every clinical oncologist believes that is absolutely not the case, based on the fact that many of our patients who have very dramatic and prolonged responses to EGFR inhibitors have also required one or more dose reductions and continue to do very well on a lower dose than the starting dose of Tarceva at 150 mg/day or Iressa at 250 mg/day.
We also know from lab-based work that cancer cells with an EGFR mutation are about ten times as sensitive to the effects of EGFR TKIs than cancer cells without an EGFR mutation. This suggests that patients who have an NSCLC tumor with an EGFR mutation may require a lower than standard dose to still receive the benefits. What Patients Can Learn from the Ways Physicians Take Care of Themselves. Like A Warm Cup of Coffee » Blog Archive » Top 10 Vlogging Tricks to Make Your Video Stand Out & Look Fabulous! Today’s post is from vlogging queen Jendi – enjoy!
Vlogging is a casual type of online video. The term vlogging came from smooshing “video blogging” together. Some people pronounce it V-logging with emphasis on the v and others say it the same as blogging, with the first letter changed, of course. Whatever you call it it’s good to have on your website. Adding video will help your blog stand out and it’s good SEO juice. What do patients want? - FEATURE - PR and Medical Education articles - Marketing and Communications. If you have been involved in healthcare advertising, promotion or education in the last five years, you won't have been able to avoid hearing about a 'patient-centred approach'.
The phrase now litters both communications from pharmaceutical companies and initiatives launched within the NHS. The approach is clearly well regarded by patients, since it acknowledges that they are the focus of initiatives and that they can take control of their own healthcare. There is also a realisation developing within the industry itself that focusing on the needs of patients is a successful strategy for driving overall sales, regardless of whether the short-term goal is adherence, brand recognition, or switching.
In this case study, I will provide some simple tips on how patients can truly be placed at the centre of healthcare education, producing optimum results for all concerned.

Seth's Blog: On finding referrals. The people who work the hardest to get referrals, it seems to me, are the people who least deserve them. If you make average stuff for average people, why exactly will someone refer you? If you are busy selling standard insurance policies to standard insurance clients, why will someone refer you? Because you're good at golf? In fact, the best way to get referrals is to change what you do, what you sell, how you act when times are difficult, how generous you are when you don't need to be. A month after Gulf oil spill, why is BP still in charge? WASHINGTON (AP) — Days after the Gulf Coast oil spill, the Obama administration pledged to keep its "boot on the throat" of BP to make sure the company did all it could to cap the gushing leak and clean up the spill.
But a month after the April 20 explosion, anger is growing about why BP PLC is still in charge of the response. "I'm tired of being nice. I'm tired of working as a team," said Billy Nungesser, president of Plaquemines Parish in Louisiana. "The government should have stepped in and not just taken BP's word," declared Wayne Stone of Marathon, Florida, an avid diver who worries about the spill's effect on the ecosystem.
That sense of frustration is shared by an increasing number of Gulf Coast residents, elected officials and environmental groups who have called for the government to simply take over. In fact, the government is overseeing things. "Nobody likes to have a feeling that you can't do something about a very big problem," Allen told The Associated Press Friday.
