(November 25, 2009 - Insidermedicine) From Massachusetts - For the first time, scientists have developed a cancer vaccine that can eliminate tumors in mice, according to a report published in the journal Science Translational Medicine. Researchers from Harvard University developed an implant-based vaccine. Smaller than a fingernail, the vaccine contains antigens that are tumor specific and is implanted underneath the skin, releasing cytokines and reprogramming the immune system to specifically target tumors. From London - According to a report published in The Lancet, walking and cycling show more health and climate benefits than driving lower emission vehicles. Researchers estimated the future health and climate consequences of different transportation plans--comparing current projections (with things remaining as they are) with several alternative scenarios that included lower emission vehicles, less motor traffic, more active travel through cycling and walking and a combination of all of these. They found that active travel and less motor traffic showed as much as 40 times the health and carbon dioxide benefits when compared to only driving lower emission vehicles. And finally, from Italy - Limiting salt intake significantly reduces risk of stroke and heart disease, according to a report published in the British Medical Journal. Researchers conducted a meta-analysis of 13 studies--covering more than 170,000 people--and found that cutting salt consumption by 5 grams a day could lower risk of stroke by 23% and heart disease by 17%.

(November 4, 2009 - Insidermedicine) From Boston According to a report published in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention, low blood cholesterol levels may reduce risk of prostate cancer. Researchers studied over 5500 men aged 55 and older. For men with cholesterol levels under 200, results showed a 59% reduced risk of developing high grade prostate tumors. From Pittsburgh Lite, low tar, or mild cigarettes actually make it harder for smokers to quit, according to research published in the journal Tobacco Control. Researchers surveyed over 30, 000 smokers, 12,000 of whom smoked a light brand of cigarettes. Results showed that people who smoked lite cigarettes were 46% less likely to give up smoking. And finally, from Houston - According to a report published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, even small HER2 positive breast tumors are more likely to recur within 5 years. Examining nearly 1000 women diagnosed with breast cancer in a twelve year period, researchers found that women with HER-2 positive tumors were at a five times increased risk of metastases if the cancer returned.

(September 14, 2009 - Insidermedicine) From Washington Scientists have discovered that Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) can be found in public beaches and ocean waters, according to a report presented at the Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy. Researchers found Staph bacteria on 9 of the 10 beaches that they studied in Puget Sound; over 50% of these samples were multidrug resistant. This study suggests that public beaches may be a source for transmission of MRSA. From Australia According to a report published in the journal Hepatology, aerobic exercise lowers the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Researchers studied 19 obese adults with sedentary lifestyles for four weeks. They found that regular cycling exercise resulted in 21% reduction of hepatic triglyceride concentration and a 12% reduction in visceral adipose tissue volume. These reductions occurred even if the participant did not lose any weight. And finally, from Washington The FDA has approved the use of OVA1, a blood test used to discern between ovarian tumors and benign pelvic masses. The test, to be available later this year, showed a sensitivity of 85% to 96% in finding malignant masses. This test should help prevent otherwise unnecessary exploratory surgery.

This week Dr. Cerullo continues the series on stereotactic radiosurgery, by specifically discussing the use of stereotactic radiosurgery to treat brain metastases. Brain metastases are not an uncommon complication from patients suffering from breast cancer and lung cancer. The neurosurgeons at CINN have a significant amount of experience treating these patients with Gamma Knife radiosurgery, which offers a relatively non-invasive method of treatment for multiple brain tumors in a single session. Further questions regarding the treatment of brain metastases can be sent to Dr. Cerullo at info@neuro-ortho.org.

In today's video Dr. Cerullo provides an introduction to pituitary tumors. He describes where they're located and the challenges that result from their proximity to the optic nerve and carotid artery. He also educates us on the various classifications of pituitary tumors based upon size and whether or not the tumor is secreting or non-secreting. Symptoms related to pituitary tumors can also be varied and complex - Dr. Cerullo provides a general outline of the most common of these symptoms.
