Congratulations to our new Authors
|
|
We have had two patients who recently have written great
books, and I recommend each of them highly.
Doug Benedetti, RPh, is a pharmacist who has
written a very helpful book entitled The Frugal
Patient, subtitled A consumers guide to Saving
Money on Prescription Medications and Getting the
Maximum Value for Your Healthcare Dollar. Isnt that a
subject of interest to all of us? It is published by
Apothecary Publishing, of Tyler (email: apothecarypub@cox-internet.com).
If you or someone you know is forced to take a lot of
medications, it might make great sense to get this book
and read it.
Kenna Stephenson, MD, has written
Awakening Athena, subtitled Resilience,
Restoration and Rejuvenation for Women. Kenna is a
physician who works with women, now mostly doing
research at UT Tyler. She is a bright and articulate
spokesperson for Womens Health issues. Her book is
published by the Heart, Health and Mind Institute, of
Tyler (2702 East 5th, #362, Tyler, TX,
75701). I have given my wife a copy of this work, and
also highly recommend it! |

Further Evidence Reveals the Association Between
Periodontal Disease and Coronary Artery Disease
|

CHICAGO - October 26, 2004 - Research is racing to
help healthcare professionals further understand how
periodontal diseases are linked to cardiovascular
disease. A study published in a recent issue of the
Journal of Periodontology
explains another reason why people with periodontal
diseases are at a significant risk for coronary artery
disease (CAD).
This study examined 108 patients who had coronary
artery disease and 62 people of similar age (about 60),
who didnt have CAD
The results of this study showed that periodontitis
in cardiac patients was significantly more frequent than
in non-cardiac patients. said Professor E.H. Rompen,
Department of Periodontology - Dental Surgery, C.H.U.
Liège, Belgium. We found that 91% of patients with
cardiovascular disease suffered from moderate to severe
periodontitis, while this proportion was 66% in the
non-cardiac patients. In other words, people with
periodontal disease had a significantly higher risk of
coronary artery disease (not to mention stroke and other
vascular problems). |
