New concerns about the safety of niacin. |
|
|
|
Washington Post: The consistency of the results on studies testing multiple types of niacin “leaves little doubt that this drug provides little if any benefits and imposes serious side effects,” said Yale University cardiologist Dr. Harlan Krumholz. “It’s an astonishing reversal of fortune” for niacin, one of the very earliest cholesterol treatments, he said. “This is a billion-dollar drug and it never really had the evidence to warrant that sort of blockbuster status.”

Bacteria found in healthy bladders differ from those in women with incontinence. |
|
|
|
EurekAlert: This study evaluated urine specimens of 90 women with and without UUI symptoms. Samples were collected through a catheter and analyzed using an expanded quantitative urine culture (EQUC) technique. This technique was able to find bacteria that are not identified by the standard culture techniques typically used to diagnose urinary tract syndromes. This study also used 16S rDNA sequencing to classify bacterial DNA. The UUI and non-UUI urinary bacteria differed by group based on both culture type and sequence.
