Long-Term Changes In Bone Mineral Density And Predicted Fracture Risk In Patients Receiving Androgen-Deprivation Therapy For Prostate Cancer
UroToday.com - In the online edition of the British Journal of Urology International, Dr. Vivek Wadhwa and colleagues report on the relationship between androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and changes in bone mineral density (BMD). Skeletal-related fractures are more common due to osteoporosis rather than cancer in men with metastatic prostate cancer (CaP). The authors point out that measurement of BMD predicts fracture risk as accurately as blood pressure predicts stroke. Their goal was to study the long-term effects of LHRH agonist and antiandrogen therapy on BMD of selected groups of men with newly diagnosed advanced CaP, stratified by BMD at presentation and to predict alterations in fracture risk.

Physicians To Make Denton House Call On Health System Reform

What The Texas Medical Association (TMA) along with Denton County Medical Society (DCMS) physician leaders are hosting a town hall meeting - "a House Call" - this week. Physicians are inviting patients, business leaders, and national and state elected officials to attend the local community House Call on health system reform. Physicians want to learn firsthand how patients feel about the current health system reform proposals. Should there be a "public option?" Should government overhaul Medicare or Medicaid? These and many more questions are on the table, and the answers affect every single Texan - insured or uninsured, wealthy or poor. When Wednesday, July 29, 2009, 6:30-8:30 pm Where Denton County Courthouse-on-the-Square, 110 W. Hickory St., Denton Who Susan Rudd Bailey, MD, TMA president-elect; John G. Flores, MD, DCMS vice president/programs chair; other local physician leaders; members of Congress or key staff; members of the Texas Legislature or key staff; and local business leaders Why TMA strongly believes that Texas and America needs true health system reform. However, any reform must put the patient first. It also must preserve the time-honored patient-physician relationship. This is the first of several House Calls TMA and local physicians are hosting across Texas to learn patients" opinions about the current debate on national health care reform so TMA can better advocate on their behalf in Washington, D.C. Doctors want patients to share one thing they like most about today"s health care system, one thing they would change about the current health care system, and what patients want and do not want from health system reform. If patients cannot attend the meeting, they can still join the debate online by visiting http://www.MeandMyDoctor.com. People can answer the same questions online and join the grassroots action campaign. Patients also may view the House Call live online via video stream. TMA is the largest state medical society in the nation, representing nearly 44,000 physician and medical student members. It is located in Austin and has 120 component county medical societies around the state. TMA"s key objective since 1853 is to improve the health of all Texans. Texas Medical Association
