Readers:
As summer gets closer, you need to remember that when
enjoying all of the outdoor activities, keep yourself
hydrated.
I can't tell you how many times having a bottle of water
has saved me. Drink plenty of water and drink often.
Even if you don't feel hot or worn down from the heat.
Dehydration can strike at anytime without warning.
Just be safe and enjoy all that summer has to offer.
Regards,
Steve

Diabetes Drugs May Lower Risk Of Lung Cancer
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - The use of diabetes drugs
called thiazolidinediones, such as rosiglitazone (Avandia)
and pioglitazone (Actos), may reduce the risk of lung
cancer, according to a report in the Journal of Clinical
Oncology.
These are preliminary findings, Dr. Rangaswamy Govindarajan
from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences,
Little Rock, told Reuters Health. "Physicians should be
cautioned not to start using these agents for cancer
prevention."
Govindarajan and colleagues investigated the effect of
thiazolidinediones on the risk of lung, prostate, and colon
cancer in men aged 40 years and older with diabetes, using
a database covering 10 Veterans Affairs medical centers.
Among 87,678 individuals identified, there were 1137 cases
of colon cancer, 3246 cases of prostate cancer and 1371
cases of lung cancer.
After accounting for all other risk factors, patients who
were prescribed thiazolidinediones had a 33 percent lower
risk of lung cancer than patients who were not prescribed
thiazolidinediones, the researchers report. These drugs
may also reduce the risk of prostate and colon cancer, but
the findings were not statistically significant.
The lung cancer risk reduction seen with thiazolidinedione
use was much greater among African American men than among
white men, the researchers note. Similar subgroup analyses
yielded inconsistent results for prostate and colorectal
cancer.
"We are still in the process of designing further studies,"
Govindarajan said.
