What is the Polypill?
Dr. Valentin Fuster discusses the Polypill. The Polypill is being developed in response to an important reality surrounding cardiovascular disease. There are three important drugs that can help prevent heart disease (statins, ACE inhibitors, and aspirin). These drugs are not taken for two major reasons. First, the drugs are simply too expensive for much of the world, including countries as developed as Russia. And secondly, in developed nations where the drugs are affordable patients too often fail to comply - after three years 70% of patients do not take the medications as prescribed.

Low Fat Diet Linked to Reduced Risk of Ovarian Cancer
A recent study in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute suggests that there is a link between a low fat diet high in fruits, vegetables, and grains and a reduced risk of ovarian cancer. The discovery came from the Women's Health Initiative Dietary Modification Randomized Controlled Trial over 8 years. The trial assigned 20,000 women to the diet change group and had 30,000 women maintain their current diet. The diet change group limited their fat intake to only 20 percent of their total calories and had to eat 5 or more daily servings of fruits and vegetables in addition to 6 or more servings of grains.

Symptoms Identified For Ovarian Cancer
The notion that ovarian cancer is a "silent killer" without early warning signs has changed.
The Gynecologic Cancer Foundation has announced a national consensus on symptoms for ovarian cancer. Symptoms that women should consider as warning signs include: bloating, pelvic or abdominal pain, difficulty eating or feeling full quickly, and frequent or urgent urination. If women have these symptoms daily over the course of several weeks they should consult with a gynecologist about them, particularly if the symptoms are new or unusual.

Ovarian Cancer Risk
Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death among women with gynecologic cancer in North America, according to the American Cancer society. And new research finds yet another reason why women should make their annual appointments for the gynecologist, and make it to that appointment every year. (Read more about Ovarian Cancer Risk)

Tylenol and Ovarian Cancer
Could a common over the counter pain reliever be a key to the prevention of ovarian cancer?
Last week we heard about the dangers of Tylenol, that it could, even in appropriately prescribed doses, affect the liver.
Well, here’s a piece of good news: even very low doses of Tylenol might help prevent ovarian cancer.
Ovarian cancer patient Irene Elizabeth Janda says any good news is great. “Just plain and simple this is a disease that is still so very silent. Within a matter of days found I was in advanced stage of ovarian cancer.” (Read more about Tylenol and Ovarian Cancer)

Health Wrap - Week of June 5th
The cervical cancer vaccine that was approved Thursday called Gardisil also appears to protect women against vulvar and vaginal cancers.
HPV, or human papillomavirus, is present in 80 percent of the 6,000 cases of vaginal and vulvar cancers diagnosed in the United States each year.
The Gardasil vaccine was 100 percent effective against vulvar and vaginal pre-cancerous lesions caused by HPV types 16 and 18, and 81 percent effective against all hpv types.

The power of persuasion might be found in a cup of coffee.
New research shows caffeine makes us more likely to say yes.
Australian scientists found it was easier to change the opinions of volunteers who drank orange juice laced with caffeine compared to those who drank straight orange juice without caffeine.
Positive mood is associated with more agreeability.
This might be particularly useful if you’re trying to get someone to like you…so a cup of coffee might be a great first date. (Read more about Health Wrap - Week of June 5th)

New Ovarian Cancer Treatment
There’s new hope for ovarian cancer patients. Doctors are saying that giving chemo through the abdomen rather than through the vein should now be the way many ovarian cancer patients are treated.
This is actually an old method to deliver chemo; it dates back fifty years. It delivers the chemo into what’s called the intra-peritoneal area of the abdomen.
The goal is to get the remaining cancer cells after the tumor is surgically removed, in patients like Eleanor Lewis. Eleanor is looking for a way to lessen the significance of time. (Read more about New Ovarian Cancer Treatment)
