From New York – Bevacizumab in combination with chemotherapy may be deadly, according to a report published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Results of a meta analysis found an increased risk of fatal adverse events when bevacizumab was given in combination with chemotherapy or biological therapy.
From Oxford – Women whose mothers have had a stroke are at increased risk of heart attack, according to a report published in Circulation: Cardiovascular Genetics. Studying over 2200 patients, researchers found that maternal stroke history was associated with increased risk of both heart attack and stroke.
And finally, from Germany – Research published in Ophthalmology describes how doctors may be able to use 1 donor cornea to treat 2 patients. Researchers conducted DMEK on Fuch’s dystrophy patients and DALK on keratoconus patients in the same day. Scheduling the DALK first meant that the doctors were able to use certain parts of the cornea needed to treat the keratoconus, while still having the precise tissue needed leftover to treat the Fuch’s.
