- American Medical News reported on a research study, originally published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, showing that genetic testing used to guide initial dosing of warfarin may not be cost-effective for typical patients with an irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation), but may be for patients at higher risk for major bleeding.
- The Canadian Broadcasting Center reported on UC-led research showing the potential risks (diabetes and heart attack) related to the chemical bisphenol A, which is found in the hard plastics that have become common in making plastic bottles and plastic food containers (including baby bottles). The first large study of average human exposure to this chemical suggests it might double the risk for diabetes and heart attack.
- U.S. News & World Report and HealthDay News featured UC research that showed a powerful, clot-busting drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use in stroke patients in 1996 is still rarely used in the treatment of Medicare patients.
