The nearer the bar, the greater the chances of risky drinking: study 
November 5th, 2012
Sun Nov 4, 2012 7:21pm EST (Reuters) – Living near a bar appears to encourage some people to overimbibe, with moving closer to a drinking establishment prompting some to up their alcohol intake, according to a Finnish study. Researchers whose findings appeared in the journal Addiction followed nearly 55,000 Finnish adults for seven years and found that those who moved closer to bars were somewhat more likely to increase their drinking. “Moving place of residence close to, or far from, a bar appears to be associated with a small corresponding increase or decrease in risky alcohol behavior,” wrote lead researcher Jaana Halonen, of the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health in Kuopio, and her colleagues.

Retail clinics may cut into primary care
November 1st, 2012
By Amy Norton NEW YORK | Thu Nov 1, 2012 3:42pm EDT NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – The health clinics in pharmacies and other retail stores may be convenient, but they may also take a bite out of the traditional doctor-patient relationship, a new study suggests. Retail health clinics operate mainly out of chain pharmacies, but they’re also in some grocery stores and “big box” stores like Wal-mart. There are now more than 1,300 retail health clinics nationwide, according to the non-profit RAND Institute

By Chris Wickham LONDON | Sun Oct 28, 2012 2:29pm EDT LONDON (Reuters) – Scientists have come up with a test for the virus that causes AIDS that is ten times more sensitive and a fraction of the cost of existing methods, offering the promise of better diagnosis and treatment in the developing world. The test uses nanotechnology to give a result that can be seen with the naked eye by turning a sample red or blue, according to research from scientists at Imperial College in London published in the journal Nature Nanotechnology.

Pitch counts don’t add up to more injuries, says study
October 26th, 2012
By Ivan Oransky NEW YORK | Fri Oct 26, 2012 5:13pm EDT NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – It is impossible to watch a Major League Baseball (MLB) game nowadays – such as those in the World Series now underway – without hearing about how many pitches a player has thrown. But a new study suggests that when it comes to preventing injuries, the obsession of many teams with those kinds of numbers may be misplaced. “I don’t necessarily think that pitch counts or innings pitched are the best way to measure the demands of pitching,” Thomas Karakolis, the lead author on the study, told Reuters Health

Meds a good "first step" for treating alcoholism
October 26th, 2012
By Genevra Pittman NEW YORK | Fri Oct 26, 2012 10:16am EDT NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – Two drugs commonly used to treat alcoholism may be appropriate for people in different stages of recovery, a new analysis confirms – likely because they work differently in the brain. The drugs, acamprosate (marketed as Campral) and naltrexone (ReVia), are both non-addictive themselves and don’t make users sick when mixed with alcohol. So they’re a good first option for people struggling with alcohol dependence who are motivated to stop drinking but would like to avoid an inpatient program, researchers said

Web info on prostate cancer tough to understand
October 25th, 2012
By Amy Norton NEW YORK | Thu Oct 25, 2012 3:11pm EDT NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – There’s no shortage of websites with information on prostate cancer treatment, but they may be well beyond the average person’s comprehension, a new study finds. The study, of 62 such websites, found that only three had treatment information written below a 9th-grade reading level. Most often, sites aimed for the reading level of a high school senior – far beyond the reading skills of many Americans.
