Mild Alzheimer's Might In Fact Be Mild Cognitive Impairment
Posted: February 6th, 2012, 9:00pm CST
New revised criteria could mean that a considerable number of patients currently diagnosed with mild or very mild Alzheimer's, might in fact be reclassified as having MCI (mild cognitive impairment), John C.

Breast Cancer Drug Exemestane Causes Substantial Bone Loss
Posted: February 6th, 2012, 8:00pm CST
A recent study published in The Lancet Oncology shows how exemestane (Aromasin), a drug that prevents the development of breast cancer in postmenopausal women, may significantly worsen age-related bone loss. As an aromatase inhibitor, exemestane works by blocking the synthesis of estrogen, slowing down the growth of cancers that have estrogen receptors.
