TODAY'S HEALTH NEWS HEADLINES
Could Breast Cancer Ever Go Away on Its Own?
http://health.webmd.com/cgi-bin21/DM/y/e3eD0Nec4j0IfV0BYmB0EI
Why It Matters
A study from the Archives of Internal Medicine suggests some cases of
breast cancer detected by routine, repeated mammogram screening may
regress. Could this be possible? And, could this study prompt doctors
to revise the ways they try to prevent, detect, and treat breast
cancer?

Improving the Odds of Surviving Sudden Cardiac Arrest
http://health.webmd.com/cgi-bin21/DM/y/e3eD0Nec4j0IfV0BYmC0EJ
Why It Matters:
When this emergency happens, some victims may have a greater chance of
surviving if they get CPR while they are still gasping. Would it
encourage more bystanders to start CPR? See what researchers have
reported in this study published in Circulation.

When Drugs Are Prescribed Beyond Their Approved Use
http://health.webmd.com/cgi-bin21/DM/y/e3eD0Nec4j0IfV0BYmD0EK
Why It Matters:
It's common for doctors to prescribe medications for reasons other
than the official, FDA-approved use. But is off-label prescribing
safe, considering the drugs may not have been researched to be used in
that way? See 14 medicines some researchers say should have their
off-label uses studied more closely for safety and effectiveness.

http://health.webmd.com/cgi-bin21/DM/y/e3eD0Nec4j0IfV0BYmE0EL
Why It Matters
See what FDA advisors have been discussing about the new gout drug
called febuxostat, which would be sold under the name Uloric if it
gets approval - the first new gout drug in decades.

Weight Loss Phone Counseling Works
http://health.webmd.com/cgi-bin21/DM/y/e3eD0Nec4j0IfV0BYmF0EM
Why It Matters
Picking up the phone can help dieters stay on track after successful
weight loss. See how researchers found phone counseling may work as
well as face-to-face sessions, in this study published in the Archives
of Internal Medicine. Could it help more people maintain a healthier
body weight, especially in rural regions of the country?
