Did you guys know that Pioglitazone (actos) if taken for long time can lead to baldder cancer?. New results published and recently quoted by FDA suggests so.
You can find some information about the same HERE.
This was also recently all over the news feed.
Imagine getting treated for diabetes and then getting afflicted with an entirely new pathology, it can be very distressing to one aflicted. Often having had chronic diseases would have made you poorer by several thousand dollars just because f healthcare dollars you spend. Despite all these concerns we see very little press is given to such a awefull bad side efect of a commonly used medication.
Fortunately legal help is available or those who are affected and affllicted. And initial consultation is even provided free of cost at certain reputed law firms.
Certainly the bladder cancer is not something you are thinking about when you are trying to control your diabetes. Would you have taken the medicine if you had known that this medication gave you bladder cancer while taking away some of your diabetes?. Would your doctor prescribe the medicine if he/she knew about this informaton?. Don't you think this information should be made available for everyone so that everyone is able to make informed decision?.
I have a strong opinion as to need for informed decision in any doctor-physician relationship. But when here is such paucity of information weather wilfully or not so wilfully it certainly baffles me.
I hope none of you have to go through this situation. but if you happen to be one of them then you can a least take hope in the fact that there is some great help available a hand.

Chronic Pain Need Not Be A Bane of your Existance - Here Comes Your Helping Hand
One look at any out patient medical clinic in USA can convince you about how crowded our physician offices are with people seeking solace from chronic pain.
Often what both providers and patients' forget is that medications are not the only solution to such issues as chronic pain. Very often a multi-pronged strategy including use of traditional and non-traditional methods would need to be adopted to get optimum relief.
Often therapy specialists forget the fact that use of pain relief techniques such as TENS machines would in fact sometimes be more beneficial.
I have to tell you about one such wonderful medical supply company which has some great resources for pain relief, specially multitude types of chronic pain syndromes. TENS units being marketed by LG Med supply are not only of great variety and quality, I was also surprised to find that they have some of THE cheapest prices on the internet without a compromise in quality. This new company has taken big strides during recent months in helping patients with pain relief and quality of life improvement of patients.
Having worked as a physio therapist before I became a physician I know the quality of pain relief and long lasting effective relief of discomfort a TENS machine can provide. The whole aim is to provide affordable tools for appropriate pain relief for patients who have issues with chronic pain.

Cardiology Trials
Here we shall over time list all important trials one needs to know in the field of cardiology.
LISTED TOWARDS THE LEFT ARE THE LINKS TO ALL THE RELEVENT TRIALS, CLICKING THE LINK TAKES YOU TO RELEVANT TRIAL.
We shall continue to add pages as new trials are published.
New trial are initially published under the heading ''NEW TRIALS'' and subsequently moved over to appropriate sub-section.
Why This Blog?
When I was a resident in cardiology and even a first year fellow, I was looking for a source of information for all the evidence based medicine we practice. I could hardly find any one place or source which would list all the important trials in Cardiology along with its clinical relevance at one place. I searched all over the internet and could not find one. the closest compendium of trials I saw published was published in 2003 without any updates. Thus I came up with an idea of listing all important (mainly landmark) guideline providing trials which lead to changes in the practice of medicine at one place.
I hope you not only are provided with easy access to information you need for your clinical practice, but also enjoy the succinct but yet fairly detailed presentation of these trials.
Enjoy all trials a cadiologist needs to know about at one place!!!
