(August 17, 2009 - Insidermedicine) From Portland - According to research in the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, a diet similar to that used in the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) study may reduce the risk of kidney stones. In a study of over 240,000 people, researchers found that a diet high in fruits, vegetables and low-fat dairy, and low in fat and animal protein, reduced the incidence of kidney stones by 40-50%.
From Detroit - According to research in Emerging Infectious Diseases, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus may be increasing the number of hospitalizations for skin and soft tissue infections. Between 2000 and 2004, researchers found that these infections increased by nearly 29%, and community acquired MRSA was found to be responsible for 59% of cases treated in emergency departments.
And finally, from Washington - The FDA has warned against the use of GDH-PQQ glucose test trips by patients undergoing therapies that include certain nonglucose sugars. The strips may produce falsely high readings because they cannot distinguish between maltose, xylose, galactose and other sugars. This could lead to severe injury or death from insulin overdose.
