Problems in a child's early psychological development can be added to the list of risk factors for asthma, report scientists at the National Jewish Medical and Research Center. Genetics, exposure to allergens, and infectious diseases are other suspects.
An eight-year study of 150 children, published in the October issue of Pediatrics magazine, indicates that parenting difficulties during a baby's first year of life increase the chances the child will develop asthma.
The researchers could not precisely explain why, but speculated that a poorly coping parent, as determined by researchers' interviews, may expose the infant to greater emotional stress, which may alter the child's immune and inflammatory responses. They also said an adult who copes well with parenthood may recognize medical problems and intervene earlier.
Mary Klinnert, the study's lead author, noted that in some cases the children of apparently well-adjusted parents also developed asthma. She said the study should not be used to "unfairly blame" poorly coping parents but to reinforce the importance of providing support and education to new parents and their children.
The appendix is removed unnecessarily — when it's not infected — nearly one out of four times that appendectomies are performed in women of childbearing age, University of Washington researchers report. Despite new diagnostic tools and tests, misdiagnosis of appendicitis has actually increased among young women and older men, according to a study published in the Oct. 10 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.
"For whatever reason, the promise of this new diagnostic technology has not been realized," said Dr. David Flum, UW surgeon and lead author of the study. "We need to conduct more studies to determine what is going on when these new technologies are applied around the country."
Appendectomy is one of the country's most frequently performed operations. The misdiagnosis rate is about 9 percent for men and 23.2 percent for women, possibly because women have more complex anatomy in the right side of the abdomen, where the appendix resides.
Because infection of the appendix can be dangerous, surgeons often prefer to err on the side of removal.
"When you are suspicious that someone has appendicitis, you don't want to be wrong and leave the appendix in," Flum said. "Untreated appendicitis can lead to rupture and even more complications, so many surgeons take it out even if it looks normal."
A whole-body approach to repetitive stress injury, or RSI, can make a difference, according to the March issue of the Journal of Occupational Rehabilitation. Most doctors limit exams to areas below the elbow, concludes Dr. Emil Pascarelli, a leading authority on RSI and professor emeritus of clinical medicine at Columbia University's medical school in Manhattan.
But RSI, which can include carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis or hand-wrist arthritis — or all of the above — often involves posture and various misalignments of the body, including shoulder rounding and holding the head in a forward-thrust position.
Pascarelli concluded that doctors must do a complete examination, focusing on posture and neck and shoulder alignments.
Copper IUDs may be among the safest, most effective and least expensive reversible contraceptives available, concluded researchers in a study published in The New England Journal of Medicine. Long thought to cause pelvic inflammatory disease, which can lead to infertility, IUDs are used now by fewer than 1 in 100 women who use contraceptives.
Earlier studies linking the copper IUDs to tubal infertility apparently missed the real cause, wrote the researchers, which was chlamydia, a sexually transmitted disease.
The study, done by researchers from Family Health International, a nonprofit group in North Carolina, and the National Perinatology Institute in Mexico City, looked at 1,311 infertile women and 584 pregnant women in Mexico City. It was published in the journal's Aug. 23 issue.

Pancreatic cancer is now the fourth leading cause of death among male cancer patients (fifth among women cancer patients). Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions has produced a Web site for information, www.path.jhu.edu/pancreas, to help patients, families and health-care professionals.
A "What's New with Pancreatic Cancer" section presents regularly updated research findings, as well as a bibliography of books and publications, and a chat room that enables interaction with other patients and families.
Other Web sites for cancer-related information and therapies include: The federal government's Web site, considered to be among the best: www.nci.nih.gov; the University of Pennsylvania's cancer Web site: www.oncolink.org; and Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center's site: www.mskcc.org.
