top cme news this week on my medscape: smoking, high bp, diabetes may lead to dementia; smoking may increase risk of tb; quads strength linked to lower risk of symptomatic knee oa.
why does research seem like so much rehash these days? have we run out of practices to alter? paradigms to shift? startling stuff to discover?
tamoxifen use in ER-positive breast cancer increases risk of ER-negative breast cancer... is a little bit new, i guess, but also a little bit old.
psa screening does not improve survival... uh-huh. dat what we been a-sayin'.
allhat... dash diet... old wine in new skin... duh.
seems to me when we bought the evidence based stuff hook line and sinker and threw out everything else we gave the researchers plenty more studies to milk out of the old cow.
