From MedPage Today:

1. Helmet Bests Mask for Infant CPAP. Infants with bronchiolitis who were treated with a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) helmet did not need to be intubated as often compared with those who used a CPAP facial mask.
2. Negotiations Heat Up on Permanent SGR Fix. As a deadline looms, Congressional negotiators are continuing their efforts to negotiate a permanent repeal for the sustainable growth rate (SGR) formula for physician reimbursement under Medicare, including finding a way to pay for it.
3. Weight Loss Might Also Shed Afib. Weight loss might eliminate atrial fibrillation (Afib) among overweight or obese individuals, particularly if the shed pounds don’t return, the LEGACY registry study showed.
4. Consumers Breeze Past Label Disclaimers on Supplements. Those who take dietary supplements appear to pay little attention to mandatory disclaimers warning about lack of FDA oversight.
