Doubt Cast on the ‘Good’ in ‘Good Cholesterol’
By GINA KOLATA
Published: May 16, 2012
The name alone sounds so encouraging: HDL, the “good cholesterol.” The more of it in your blood, the lower your risk of heart disease. So bringing up HDL levels has got to be good for health.
Or so the theory went.
Now, a new study that makes use of powerful databases of genetic information has found that raising HDL levels may not make any difference to heart disease risk. People who inherit genes that give them naturally higher HDL levels throughout life have no less heart disease than those who inherit genes that give them slightly lower levels. If HDL were protective, those with genes causing higher levels should have had less heart disease.
Researchers not associated with the study, published online Wednesday in The Lancet, found the results compelling and disturbing. Companies are actively developing and testing drugs that raise HDL, although three recent studies of such treatments have failed. And patients with low HDL levels are often told to try to raise them by exercising or dieting or even by taking niacin, which raised HDL but failed to lower heart disease risk in a recent clinical trial.
“I’d say the HDL hypothesis is on the ropes right now,” said Dr. James A. de Lemos, a professor at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, who was not involved in the study.
Dr. Michael Lauer, director of the division of cardiovascular sciences at the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, agreed. ...

In a first of its kind, doctors at Sunrise Hospital, Kakkanad, here, have successfully performed a bloodless bowel surgery in a patient with profuse bleeding and a very low haemoglobin level of two gm/dl.

The patient, M.A. Shaji from Kannamaly, referred from another hospital, was diagnosed with enteric fever and bleeding from small intestine.

Though blood transfusion was necessary to correct haemoglobin and to perform surgery for arresting the bleeding, the patient and relatives have refused any form of blood and blood product infusion as they belonged to Jehovah’s Witnesses.

However, despite being very risky, the team of doctors decided to do the surgery and could successfully complete it.
Even in post-operative period, the patient was not given blood or blood products. Later, his haemoglobin level started going up and the bleeding completely stopped.

The patient was discharged and healthy now with haemoglobin of eight gm/dl. Dr. R. Padmakumar, medical director of the hospital said that the surgery was the rarest of the rare and a surprise in medical history.

“Not giving blood transfusion or blood products prior, during or after surgery to a patient with such low haemoglobin level has so far been unimaginable in medical profession,” he said.

The team led by Dr. Padmakumar included Dr. Madhukar Pai, Dr. Sanjeev Thampi, Dr. Sreevalsan, Dr. Sheetal Binu, Dr. Rajeev Jayadevan and Dr. Sooraj.

He was hospitalized January of 2011 with a blood clot in his left leg in a main artery. He was put on shots and pills of I believe either warfin or coumadin as well as bed rest. This did not work he a year and a half later is still on a high dose of cumandin. His doctor has even said that it was a high dose just to get his blood level to be between a 3-4. I am not sure what this means, but it seems really odd that the blood clot hasn't decreased in size actually it has grown larger, and they have not made a move to try something else. I am worried that this could damage his vein or possible move to his lungs. He is no longer on bed rest or limited mobility yet he can not work because of the risk of the blood thinners in his line of work. In addition if he is very active his leg starts to hurt.

AABB recently published "Citations in Patient Blood Management" now located in the association's Digital Downloads library. This document contains a list of 1,800 references, compiled from multiple AABB publications on patient blood management (PBM). "These citations were selected by AABB authors as being the most useful resources on the topics they wrote about and are gathered in this one document to facilitate the scientific assessment and clinical application of the principles of PBM," said James AuBuchon, MD, FCAP, FRCP(Edin), AABB's immediate past president, in the preface to the publication. The references have been categorized by multiple topics and subtopics, and the electronic format allows for easy searching.

"Citations in Patient Blood Management" can be used alone or as a companion to "Getting Started in Patient Blood Management," which describes the five major concepts of PBM and provides rationale for limiting transfusions. This resource also offers generic advice for clinicians and institutions getting started in PBM and provides sample documentation that can be used by transfusion committees and others with oversight responsibilities.

These publications, each available in PDF format, are free to AABB members. Nonmembers can purchase them for a nominal fee. Additional information on PBM is available on the AABB website. ]]> News and Hot Topics such as Hepatitis C, SARS and AIDS Jan B.

Ferromagnetic Wand

Pediatric neurosurgeon Kim Manwaring no longer spends much time in the operating room, but his ideas could transform how future surgeons do their work there.

Manwaring has invented several tools and medical devices over the years while tinkering in the garage of his home in the Ahwatukee Foothills area of Phoenix. His most recent invention, a small surgical device that cuts and cauterizes, led to a startup biotechnology company, Domain Surgical, that is expanding rapidly.


The device, called the ferromagnetic wand, uses thermal heating to cut tissue. It has gained Food and Drug Administration clearance and has been used by surgeons and Phoenix Children's Hospital and other hospitals this year.


Although Manwaring invented the device in Phoenix, his company formed in Salt Lake City after he introduced the technology to David McNally, a seasoned biotech executive based in Utah. McNally used his Utah contacts to launch, finance and recruit management and staff for Domain Surgical.


The company's origin shows the tenuous nature of how small biotech companies start and grow. The availability of experienced biotech managers, access to investors, government support and other factors can influence where a company establishes roots and grows.


Arizona's biotechnology industry has spawned steady job growth despite challenges such as a lack of early-stage investors willing to take a chance on a new technology and experienced biotech managers who can guide a discovery from the lab to the marketplace.


"Historically, that has been a real problem with Arizona," said Robert Green, chairman of Integrated Biomolecule Corp. and former CEO of the Arizona Bioindustry Association. "We have had difficulty raising money and finding management to run companies."


However, Green said that as Arizona's biotech industry has matured, more investors are willing to spend on startups. A recent Battelle Technology Partnership Practice report showed that in 2011, Arizona biotech companies secured $69million in venture capital, the industry's best showing since 2007.


"We have tremendous resources in this state (Arizona) for startups," Green said.


McNally, who serves as Domain Surgical's CEO, said that it made the most sense to grow the company in Utah. He had access to investors and experienced managers who helped him guide another medical-device company from startup to acquisition. Domain Surgical employs 26 people full time and works with 16 consultants. Manwaring is the company's chief medical officer and splits his time between Phoenix and Salt Lake City.
"Even though the technology was conceived in Arizona, the right fit was to move it to Utah," McNally said.
