Q. My mother has atrial fibrillation. She takes a blood thinner to prevent stroke, but are there other risks she should know about?. A. Atrial fibrillation (also known as afib) is a common disorder marked by a rapid, irregular heart rhythm that causes blood to pool in the heart's upper chambers, or atria. The stagnant blood can form clots, which may then travel to the brain and cause a stroke. That's why people with afib take blood thinners, which don't actually "thin" the blood but rather discourage clot formation. While doctors have long warned about the heightened risk of stroke with afib, a recent study found that heart failure — when the heart fails to pump adequate amounts of blood to the body — might be a risk that occurs even more often.

Whether dialysis is the best option for kidney failure and, if so, when to start, may deserve more careful consideration, according to a new study. For older adults who were not healthy enough for a kidney transplant, starting dialysis when their kidney function fell below a certain threshold — rather than waiting — afforded them roughly one more week of life, Stanford Medicine researchers and their colleagues found.

Actor William Talman was born on February 4, 1915, in Detroit, Michigan, and died from lung cancer in Los Angeles on August 30, 1968. He was best known as District Attorney Hamilton Berger on TV's long-running legal series, Perry Mason (CBS, 1957 to 1966).

The primary endpoint of the 4-month study was the proportion of patients with clinically significant improvements in the contrast sensitivity. Randall Olson, MD, corresponding author of the study, Moran Eye Center CEO and Distinguished Professor and Chair of the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences at the University of Utah, Salt Lake City, and colleagues reported that a novel eye drop (C-KAD, Livionex Inc.) has been formulated to treat early to moderate age-related cataracts. The drop improves vision by breaking up degraded protein complexes that cause lens clouding, which leads to cataracts and vision loss, when instilled in the eye.

A new study reveals dialysis increases life expectancy but reduces time at home for older adults below the eGFR threshold of 12 mL/min/1.73 m². Older adults who could not get a kidney transplant and turned to dialysis instead when their glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) fell < 12 mL/min/1.73 m2 had moderate increases in life expectancy and less time at home, a recent study reported.1.
