More Young Breast Cancer Patients Getting Gene Test

Image
Researchers found that of nearly 900 women who developed breast cancer at age 40 or younger, most had undergone BRCA testing within a year of their diagnosis. And the percentage went up over time: By 2013, 95 percent had been tested, according to findings published online Feb. 11 in JAMA Oncology. Experts called the results good news, since BRCA testing has long been recommended for women diagnosed with breast cancer before the age of 50. "This is great, it's heartening," said Dr. Jeffrey Weitzel, director of clinical cancer genetics at City of Hope, in Duarte, Calif. But, he added, women in the study were largely white, well- educated and had health insurance -- and it's unlikely that disadvantaged U.S. women would show the same high rate of BRCA testing. "We need to keep working on extending the reach of genetic testing," said Weitzel, who co-wrote an editorial published with the study. Media coverage following actress Angelina J...

‘Disruptor-in-chief’: Amazon boss Jeff Bezos

Image
SAN FRANCISCO: Jeff Bezos is officially the richest person on the planet thanks to the success of Amazon -- but his bold vision extends to space and even time itself. With Amazon´s share price up nearly 60 percent during the past year, the personal wealth of the company´s 54-year-old founder has doubled to more than $110 billion. Bezos leapt past Bill Gates this week to the top spot on an annual Forbes magazine list of billionaires, relegating the Microsoft co-founder to second place with a net worth of about $90 billion. He has gone on record with a formula for success that includes taking bold bets, riding change and rebounding from setbacks. "You need to be nimble and robust so you need to be able to take a punch and you also need to be quick and innovative and do new things at a higher speed, that´s the best defense against the future," Bezos said in an interview published in Vanity Fair magazine last year. "You have to always be leaning into the future....

Heart disease patients live longer when they exercise

Image
Older adults with heart disease who regularly exercise, even a little bit, may live longer than they would without any physical activity, a Norwegian study suggests. Researchers examined three decades of data on 3,307 adults who had been diagnosed with coronary heart disease after a heart attack or an episode of severe chest pain, known as angina, caused by inadequate blood supply to the heart. By the time half of the patients had been in the study for at least 15 years, 1,493 of them had died. Compared to people who were inactive, participants who consistently got the minimum recommended amount of exercise for adults were 36 percent less likely to die during the study. If these very active people scaled back their workouts over time, they were still 26 percent less likely to die than sedentary individuals. And even a little exercise was tied to a longer life. People who consistently exercised, though less than the average, were still 19 percent less likely to die than seden...
