Controls to blood sugar 'cuts stroke risk' | www.barchester.com
There have been many epidemiologic studies showing a very tight correlation between baseline A1c and cardiovascular mortalityDespite this, five major randomized prospective studies have failed to show any macrovascular benefit for tighter glucose controlThe logical conclusion is that glucose is, therefore, a marker for increased mortality but not a modifiable risk factor thereofThis is why FDA has mandated cardiovascular safety for new antidiabetic agentsData dredging persists, however

Outsourcing of compassionate use of drugs?
January 18, 2008
Analysis by: Dan Streja, Clinical Professor of Medicine,No right to experimental drugs for dying patients: Supreme Court | news.yahoo.com
The Supreme Court has rejected the use of experimental drugs by the dying patients on the grounds that "The framers (of the US constitution) understood that the pursuit of life is an inalienable right that should not be abridged without due process of law." Over the years our patients with terminal illness have traveled outside the US to purchase hope when our management was offering none. Although in the majority of cases the hope was unjustified, the current decision will encourage healthcare providers residing outside the US to advertise for their services through the internet. The issue should be addressed by the legislators sooner rather than later. Drugs who improve quality of life, awaiting approval for survival indication or drugs looking promising in early clinical trials could be made available to dying patients with informed consent addressing our limitations.
