Dual antiplatelet therapy after heart bypass surgery offers no added benefit over aspirin alone

Dual antiplatelet therapy after heart bypass surgery is not more effective than aspirin alone - and it increases the risk of excessive bleeding. This has now been shown in a study of 2,201 patients at 22 Nordic heart surgery units.

How a Mediterranean diet helps women manage menopausal symptoms

A cross-sectional study of 149 postmenopausal women found that greater adherence to a modified Mediterranean diet was linked to lower odds of moderate to severe hot flashes and sexual symptoms. While psychological and physical domains showed no significant association, the results support further evaluation of diet as a non-hormonal strategy for menopausal care.
