From Boston - Blood hormone levels can predict a woman #39;s long term breast cancer risk, according to a report published presented at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) annual meeting. Researchers matched nearly 800 postmenopausal breast cancer patients to healthy controls, and found that women with hormone levels in the highest 25% for estradiol, testosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate were 50-107% more likely to develop breast cancer than those in the lowest 25%. From California - Antimicrobial soap can greatly reduce MRSA infections among patients in the intensive care unit, according to a report presented at the IDWeek 2012 conference. Studying nearly 75000 patients from 43 hospitals, researchers found that use of antimicrobial soap and ointment on all ICU patients reduced MRSA infections by 44%. From London - Antidepressants may raise risk of stroke, according to a report published in Neurology.
