A.M. Vitals: Chavez to Have Third Operation

Dr Joe — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 14:14:26 +0000

Another Cancer Surgery For Chavez : Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez will have a lesion surgically removed from his pelvis within the next few days, the WSJ reports . Chavez, who has already undergone two other surgeries for cancer, claimed the disease hadn’t spread and there was no reason for alarm, but doctors not involved with his case speculated his situation is more serious than he acknowledges. The type of cancer that Chavez has isn’t publicly known. Heart Attack Differences: A study of about 1.1 million patients published in the Journal of the American Medical Association finds that younger women are less likely to report chest pain or discomfort after a heart attack, Reuters reports . A study author says the results are preliminary but raise the question of whether public-health messages about symptoms need to be tailored by age and gender. The study also found younger women without chest pain were more likely to die in the hospital after a heart attack than younger men. No Day in Court for J&J: The U.S. Supreme Court won’t hear a patent-infringement suit brought by a unit of Johnson & Johnson against Abbott over a rheumatoid-arthritis therapy, the WSJ reports . The court let stand a lower court’s ruling overturning an earlier jury award of $1.67 billion in damages to J&J. Raw (Milk) Data: A study from the Centers for Disease Control finds that unpasteurized, or raw, milk is far more likely to cause outbreaks of food-borne illness than pasteurized milk, USA Today reports . States where raw milk sales are legal also experience more outbreaks than states where sales are banned, the paper says. Advocates of raw milk consumption say the study didn’t distinguish outbreaks stemming from raw milk from those caused by possibly illegally-made soft cheeses. Image: iStockphoto
