Coichicine for AF
Colchicine May Reduce One-Year Postablation AF Recurrence Marlene Busko February 13, 2014 ATHENS, GREECE — Among patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) who had a single ablation, those who then received a short course of *colchicine* were less likely to have AF recurrence and more likely to have higher quality of life a year later, researchers report[1]. This study, a planned extension of a three-month trial published earlier, reported by *heartwire *, was published online Feb 12, 2014, in *Heart Rhythm*. The mid-term results from the current study were "impressive," senior... mais »
AF ablation = placebo?
Could Ablation for AF Be an Elaborate Placebo? John Mandrola, MD Maybe electrophysiologists are too close to see it: the possibility that ablation of atrial fibrillation is no more effective than a placebo. Turkish authors boldly raised[1] this question in a recent editorial in the *International Journal of Cardiology*. They likened AF ablation to renal denervation, a procedure that promised to transform the treatment of hypertension. That is, until the SYMPLICITY HTN-3[2]trial showed that renal ablation was no better than a sham procedure. Before the properly controlled trial, nearly... mais »

Neuroscientists
Where Will All the New Neuroscientists Go? Leaders in the field highlight the need for new career paths to accommodate a flood of PhDs Unlike biochemistry and psychology, brain science did not exist as a separate academic field until the middle of the 20th century. In recent decades, neuroscience has emerged as a star among the biological disciplines. In 2014 a workshop organized by the National Academy of Medicine met to ponder the question of whether all bodes well for the scientists-to-be who are now getting their PhDs and laboring away at postdoctoral fellowships.
