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.

JAMA - Men's Health Briefing

An estimated 10 million men 40 years or older have symptoms consistent with overactive bladder.

Now, new research shows a combination of two medicines which work differently works better than using only one medication.

The researchers compared using detrol la—which works on the bladder and flomax—which works on the prostate-- either alone or in combination in men with overactive bladder and a benign enlarged prostate and who complained of having to go to the bathroom a lot.

Dr. Steven Kaplan, the study author at Weill Cornell Medical College, says, “The particular symptoms that we actually are concerned about is getting up at night to urinate, going frequently to the bathroom. This is actually the largest study ever done in men who have both a bladder problem and a prostate problem and we found that by treating both we have enhanced the quality of life in men with urinating symptoms.” (Read more about JAMA - Men's Health Briefing)

NEW BLADDER CANCER TEST

There is a new non-invasive bladder cancer test which detects cancer proteins in the urine. It could be a big breakthrough in detecting this common malignancy.
Right now, 13,000 Americans die of bladder cancer each year.
So, like many other malignancies, early detection is so important. In fact, if diagnosed early in the course, when the cancer is confined to the lining of the bladder wall, the five year survival rate is around 95%! (Read more about NEW BLADDER CANCER TEST)
