Assunto: A perigosa volatilidade do conhecimento médico
Achutti: no site publicamos um interessante artigo do colega Augusto Pimazzoni sobre a suspensão pelo FDA do estudo ACCORD.
Discute-se a validade dos trial, os equívocos das amostras, etc. Gerou um debate muito interessante e que está publicado no link:
http://www.diabetes.org.br/Colunistas/Debates/index.php?id=1424
Ficaria feliz se mais algum dos AMICORS participassem da discussão.
Um grande abraço
Reginaldo

Developmental Determinants of Disease/Health
Available online at: http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/doi/full/10.1111/j.1742-7843.2007.00169.x
The proceedings (the Faroes statement and 25 invited papers) are now freely available at the journal website:
http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/toc/pto/102/2
The articles demonstrate that the issue of adverse effects during early development is becoming a crucial issue also in toxicology and environmental health. While developmental biologists, nutritionists, and physiologists have explored the science of "developmental programming", the related perspective in regard to adverse effects of environmental stressors is only now becoming apparent. This means that we need to look for causal factors also far back in the past, and that we may easily have missed that goal by several decades. - Philippe Grandjean, MD…."

Study focuses on publication bias in journals
Requirements that clinical trials be registered in databases may give physicians a clearer picture of a drug's efficacy, but some argue that more action is needed.

The Lancet: Maternal and Child Undernutrition
Website: http://go.worldbank.org/7Q8VB5QK90
The new Lancet series on nutrition, co-authored and co-financed by the World Bank, depicts the lamentable state of under-nutrition worldwide, and a corresponding negligence on the part of the development community to meet the challenge decisively. Under-nutrition represents the non-income face of poverty. And the world is off track on meeting this goal.
Deaths Force NHLBI to Abandon Intensive Glucose- Lowering as Cardiovascular Strategy
BETHESDA, Md., Feb. 6 -- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute has halted the intensive glucose-lowering arm of the ACCORD trial, a cardiovascular-endpoint study of type 2 diabetes.
ACCORD was designed to evaluate the impact of different glucose and lipid-lowering strategies on cardiovascular events in more than 10,251 participants with type 2 diabetes.
According to a press release, there have been 257 deaths in the intensive-treatment group and 203 in the standard treatment group, which is an excess of 54 deaths, or three per 1,000 participants each year, over an average of fours years of treatment./.../
