(Ivanhoe Newswire) — A well-publicized report suggesting iPods may interfere with cardiac pacemakers is being debunked by a new study.

The report stemmed from the case of one man who became dizzy after listening to his iPod. When cardiologists tested the iPod during the man’s examination, they found it did interfere with his pacemaker. The report was published, and calls for warning labels on portable music and video devices ensued.

Washington — President Bush used his last State of the Union speech to restate his existing health care proposals, including tax deductions for health insurance spending, health insurance pools for businesses, medical liability reform and wider use of health information technology. Bush also challenged Congress to address the long-term solvency of entitlement programs, such as Medicare.

Reaction to the president’s speech was muted. With Bush offering no significant new proposals for what could be a very partisan election year in Congress, medical organizations took the opportunity to restate their goals and concerns.

(Ivanhoe Newswire) — Employers who offer special training and other measures to help employees avoid back pain due to lifting heavy objects may be wasting their money.

Finnish researchers who reviewed the results of 11 studies comparing back pain prevention interventions with each other and with no intervention at all find little difference in outcomes between the groups.

The studies included eight trials involving health care workers who were charged with moving patients and three trials involving workers in the baggage handling and postal industries. The studies looked at things like training programs to teach people to lift correctly, the use of back belts to support the back during lifting, physical exercise to keep the back in better shape, and several combinations of these measures. Some of the studies compared people who received some kind of intervention with those who received no help at all.

(Ivanhoe Newswire) — Women with a history of physical and/or sexual abuse may be more susceptible to the pain and suffering associated with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

According to researchers from UCLA and the University of North Carolina who conducted brain imaging studies on women with IBS, those with abuse in their backgrounds were less likely to be able to “turn off” a specific pain mechanism in the brain as women who also had IBS but didn’t have a history of abuse.

(Ivanhoe Newswire) — The size of a child’s tumor is less important in determining prognosis for thyroid cancer than the age at which he is diagnosed and treated.

Italian researchers arrived at that conclusion after evaluating about 2,700 children and adults who underwent surgery to treat the condition. Even though children tended to have more aggressive tumors than adults, and younger children had larger tumors, overall kids actually had a better prognosis. The researchers concluded age at diagnosis is the most important factor when determining the outcomes for pediatric thyroid cancer patients.
