Media coverage of a recent study has left many people concerned about the safety of sunscreen. But while further testing appears to be warranted, we know for certain that sunscreen protects against skin cancer.

Let’s take a closer look at the JAMA study, evolving FDA recommendations on sunscreen ingredients, and how you and your family can safely protect yourself from the sun’s rays.

What did the study look at?

First, some background. The FDA recently announced that it will be updating its recommendations on the safety of sunscreen ingredients later this year. In general terms, they are trying to answer two questions:

• To what extent are the chemicals in sunscreen absorbed into the body?
• What are the health effects of these chemicals being absorbed into the body?

In the JAMA study, FDA researchers asked 24 healthy individuals to apply sunscreen four times a day for four days to large areas of their body. The participants were randomly assigned to apply a sunscreen spray, cream, or lotion. All of the sunscreens contained some combination of four active ingredients: avobenzone, oxybenzone, octocrylene, and ecamsule. Thirty blood samples were collected from the participants over seven days.

What did the study find, and what do the results mean?

The researchers found systemic concentrations of more than 0.5 nanograms per milliliter (ng/ml) of all four active ingredients in the blood of these volunteers.

These findings, while interesting, should be considered in the context of several limitations. This study is called an exploratory maximal usage trial (MUsT), because the sunscreen products were applied according to the maximum limit of the products’ directions for use, which likely far exceeds use by the average consumer.

Furthermore, while the FDA recommends that active ingredients in sunscreen that exceed 0.5 ng/ml should undergo toxicology testing to check for harmful health effects, this number is somewhat arbitrary, as it is not known what the significance of this blood level means. The FDA acknowledges that without further testing, we do not know what degree of absorption should be considered safe.

What is the FDA saying about sunscreen?

Thus far, titanium dioxide and zinc oxide are two sunscreen ingredients that the FDA deems “generally recognized as safe and effective” (GRASE). These ingredients are not absorbed into the body.

In order to be determined GRASE, a drug must have gone through adequate clinical testing to establish its safety and efficacy, and medical experts must agree, based on those studies, that the product is safe based on the intended, recommended usage. Two other active sunscreen ingredients, PABA and tolamine salicylate, are considered non-GRASE, and they are not legally available in the US.

The FDA is asking for more safety data on an additional 12 active sunscreen ingredients in order to determine whether they can be classified as GRASE. Any sunscreen ingredients that do not receive a GRASE designation in the FDA’s final report, due to be delivered in November 2019, will need to go through a New Drug Application (NDA) process. New products that contain GRASE ingredients do not need to go through the NDA process.

Should I keep using sunscreen?

Absolutely. Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun is a major risk factor for skin cancer, which is the most common type of cancer in the US. Sunscreen use has been shown to protect against UV-induced skin cancers — as well as sunburns and signs of aging.

The FDA has not asked the public to stop using sunscreens that contain avobenzone, oxybenzone, octocrylene, or ecamsule. That’s because while the JAMA study concluded these ingredients were absorbed by the body when applied at high concentrations, we do not know whether this affects a person’s health.

Furthermore, there have not been any reports of serious side effects from sunscreen products related to systemic absorption. In fact, the FDA has announced on its website that “given the recognized public health benefits of sunscreen use, Americans should continue to use sunscreen and other sun protective measures as this important rulemaking effort moves forward.”

What should I do to protect my skin until the FDA releases its new recommendations?

Continue to follow these dermatologist-recommended practices:

• Avoid going into direct sunlight or seek shade between 10 am and 2 pm, which is when UV radiation is the strongest.
• Apply sunscreen to all exposed areas, using a broad-spectrum sunscreen that is SPF 30 or higher.
• Sun protective clothing, including long-sleeve shirts, long pants, hats, and sunglasses, can be a wonderful option for sun protection, especially for young children. Look for clothing that has an ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) rating.

If you’ve ever seen a doctor for back pain, you’re not alone. An estimated 85% of people experience back pain severe enough to see a doctor for at some point in their life. Yet despite how common it is, the precise cause of pain is often unclear. And a single, best treatment for most low back pain is unknown. For these reasons, doctors’ recommendations tend to vary. “Standard care” includes a balance of rest, stretching and exercise, heat, pain relievers, and time. Some doctors also suggest trying chiropractic care. The good news is that no matter what treatment is recommended, most people with a recent onset of back pain are better within a few weeks — often within a few days.

What’s the role of chiropractic care?

Some doctors refer back pain sufferers to a physical therapist right away. But many people with back pain see acupuncturists, massage therapists, or a chiropractor on their own. Experts disagree about the role of chiropractic care, and there are not many high-quality studies to consult about this approach. As a result, there are a number of questions regarding the role of chiropractic care: Should it be a routine part of initial care? Should it be reserved for people who don’t improve with other treatments? Are some people more likely to improve with chiropractic care than others?

The answers to these questions go beyond any academic debate about how good chiropractic care is. Estimates suggest that low back pain costs up to $200 billion a year in the US (including costs of care and missed work), and it’s a leading cause of disability worldwide. With the backdrop of the opioid crisis, we badly need an effective, safe, and non-opioid alternative to treat low back pain.

A recent study on chiropractic care for low back pain

A 2018 study published in JAMA Network Open is among the latest to weigh in on the pros and cons of chiropractic care for treating low back pain. Researchers enrolled 750 active-duty military personnel who complained of back pain. Half were randomly assigned to receive usual care (including medications, self-care, and physical therapy) while the other half received usual care plus up to 12 chiropractic treatments.
After six weeks of treatment, those assigned to receive chiropractic care:

• reported less pain intensity
• experienced less disability and more improvement in function
• reported higher satisfaction with their treatment
• needed less pain medicine.

While no serious side effects were reported, about 10% of those receiving chiropractic care described adverse effects (mostly stiffness in the joints or muscles). Five percent of those receiving usual care had similar complaints.

All studies have limitations

And this one is no exception. While this study suggests that chiropractic care may be helpful for low back pain, some aspects of the study make it hard to be sure. For example:

• It only lasted six weeks. As mentioned, most new-onset back pain is better by then regardless of treatment. For those with more long-lasting back pain, we’ll need more than a six-week study.
• The differences in improvement between those receiving chiropractic and usual care were small. It’s not clear how noticeable such a difference would be, or whether the cost of chiropractic care would be worth that small difference.
• The study included a mix of people with new and longer-standing low back pain and a mix of types of pain (including pain due to a pinched nerve, muscle spasm, or other reasons). If this study had included only people with muscle spasm, or only people who were obese (rather than military recruits), the results might differ. So, it’s hard to generalize these results to everyone with back pain.
• Most of the study subjects were young (average age 31) and male (77%). All were generally healthy and fit enough to pass military fitness testing.
• Study subjects knew which treatment they were receiving. This creates potential for a placebo effect. Also, the added time and attention (rather than the spinal manipulation) might have contributed to the response. Then again, these factors may not matter to a person who just wants relief.
• This study only included people who were willing to receive chiropractic care.
  Even within the two groups, the care varied — that is, not everyone in the usual care group received the same treatment, and this can also be said for the chiropractic group.

If any of these factors had been different, the results might have been different. For example, it’s possible that if an older population of people with chronic low back pain had been studied, “usual care” might have been the better treatment.

Bottom line

This new study lends support for chiropractic care to treat low back pain. But it’s important to recognize the limitations of this trial, and keep in mind that treatment side effects were more common among those receiving chiropractic care. In addition, chiropractic treatments aren’t free (although, fortunately, insurance coverage for chiropractic care is becoming more common).

This won’t be — and shouldn’t be — the last study of chiropractic care for low back pain. But until we know more, I’ll continue to offer it as one of many treatment options.

By now most of us are familiar with Brexit, the UK’s pending divorce with the European Union. But in a play on that term, British doctors are also moving towards an exit they’ve dubbed “TRexit” from the most common sort of prostate biopsy: the transrectal ultrasound guided biopsy, or TRUS.

Men who test positive on the PSA cancer screening test will usually have a prostate biopsy that’s performed in either of two ways. With a TRUS, doctors guided by an ultrasound machine can sample the prostate using a biopsy needle inserted through the rectum. Alternatively, the biopsy needle can be inserted (also under ultrasound guidance) through the perineum, the patch of skin located between the anus and the scrotum. Since it’s traditionally been easier to perform, and less painful for the patient, the TRUS method is preferred globally, accounting for 99% of the estimated one million prostate biopsies performed every year in the United States.

But now, UK doctors want to abandon the TRUS for the transperineal method. Why? In short, because TRUS biopsies have been associated with a growing risk of hard-to-treat infections. According to Michael Gross, a researcher in the department of urology at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York, “up to 25% of all men carry antibiotic-resistant strains of E. coli bacteria at biopsy, and those rates are increasing across the country and across the world.”

During a TRUS procedure, E. coli and other fecal strains can glom onto the biopsy needle and enter the prostate. Up to 5% of TRUS-biopsied men develop sepsis, and many of them require costly hospitalizations. But since transperineal biopsies bypass the rectum and its associated bacteria altogether, the risks of infection are negligible by comparison.

Fewer threats from drug-resistant bacteria

At the 2019 annual meeting of the American Urological Association last May, a British team from Guy’s Hospital, London, reported results from a feasibility study with 678 men who were given a transperineal biopsy (58% of them under local anesthesia) for either suspected or diagnosed prostate cancer. The complication rates were low, and the incidence of sepsis requiring treatment among the men was 0.16%.

Doctors have mostly avoided transperineal biopsies because of the perceived need for general anesthesia, which is expensive and potentially risky for certain patients. Unlike the rectum, which has few nerve endings in regions close to the prostate, the perineum is highly innervated and sensitive to pain. But according to Gross, local nerve blockers can effectively limit pain from the transperineal biopsy, and recent published evidence shows some men actually prefer it to TRUS.

Studies have shown that, when combined with magnetic resonance imaging scans that focus on regions of the prostate that look suspicious for cancer, both sorts of biopsies detect clinically significant tumors with comparable accuracy.

Will doctors here take TRexit’s lead in abandoning TRUS for the transperineal approach? That remains to be seen, and depends on more access to training opportunities. “The doctor’s experience and comfort level with a transperineal biopsy is very important,” says Dr. David Crawford, a urologist at the University of California, San Diego. The American Urological Association gave its first course on transperineal office-based biopsy this year.

Gross and his colleagues say transperineal biopsies performed under local anesthesia in a doctor’s office offer a viable alternative as threats from antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains steadily increase. But in what’s becoming a more widespread practice, doctors who perform TRUS biopsies can also swab the rectum for bacteria days prior to conducting the procedure, and then give antibiotics targeted at the specific species they find. Dr. Jim Hu at Weill Cornell Medical College is currently putting together a multi-institutional study designed to compare infection rates between transperineal biopsies and TRUS biopsies preceded by a rectal swab.

“As with any procedure, the physician performing the biopsy must feel comfortable and familiar with it,” says Dr. Marc Garnick, Gorman Brothers Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, and editor in chief of HarvardProstateKnowledge.org. “Future research is needed compare quality of the biopsies obtained by either approach, as well as their associated complication rates and overall patient satisfaction, before the transperineal biopsies procedure displaces the more traditional TRUS method here.”

The parties urged Rajya Sabha chairman M Venkaiah Naidu to intervene in the matter

Human papillomavirus, or HPV, is the most common sexually transmitted infection. Most of the time, the body clears it without problems. But when it doesn’t, it can lead to cancer. HPV is the leading cause of cervical cancer, and it can also lead to cancers of the vagina, vulva, penis, anus, and mouth. Every year, there are more than 40,000 cases of cancer caused by HPV.

The HPV vaccine can prevent most of them.

Research shows the HPV vaccine is effective

A study published in the journal Pediatrics underlined just how effective the vaccine is. Researchers studied women ages 13 to 26 between 2006 and 2017, looking at their protection against different strains of HPV. They studied women because initially the vaccine was given only to women, so we have the longest data about its effects in women. What they found was really encouraging. Not only did the vaccine seem to protect against the strains covered by the vaccine, but women who got it were less likely to be infected by other strains, showing that the vaccine has cross-reactivity against other strains of HPV.

What was even more encouraging was that over the 10-year period, even women who didn’t get the vaccine became less likely to be infected with HPV. This is called herd immunity. By making the infection less common, those who are vaccinated help protect other people.

All of this is great news — and yet only about half of US teens are fully vaccinated against HPV. For comparison, 94% of US children have had both doses of MMR when they start kindergarten.

What makes some families hesitate about the HPV vaccine?

For some families, the fact that the vaccine prevents a sexually transmitted infection makes parents squeamish. While it’s understandable that parents of 11- and 12-year-olds (when vaccination usually begins, although it can be given as early as 9) might not think that their child needs to be protected against a sexually transmitted infection, vaccinating early makes sense. The vaccine works best if vaccination is complete well before they start having sex — and being realistic, not only is it hard to predict exactly when that will happen, but once teens get older it’s not always as easy to be sure they go to the doctor and get vaccinated. Doing it early ensures their protection.

And for parents who worry that giving the vaccine could somehow be perceived as permission to have sex, and might make teens more likely to do so, research shows that this doesn’t happen.

Parents also worry about the safety of the HPV vaccine. We have now had many years of experience with the vaccine, with many thousands of doses. The vast majority of side effects are mild, such as fever or muscle pain, and last only a day or two. Some teens feel faint after getting it, which is why it’s recommended that they sit or lie down for about 15 minutes afterward. While unexpected allergic reactions can always occur, lots of very careful research has not shown any serious side effects from the vaccine.

The bottom line

The bottom line: the HPV is a safe, effective vaccine that helps to prevent cancer. Whenever we are given a chance to prevent cancer, we should take it.

The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet is an eating plan based on eating plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, and choosing lean proteins, low-fat dairy, beans, nuts, and vegetable oils, while limiting sweets and foods high in saturated fats.

A recent study published the American Journal of Preventive Medicine found that men and women younger than 75 who most closely followed the DASH diet had a significantly lower risk of heart failure compared to study participants who did not follow the DASH diet. Currently, about 5.7 million adults in the United States have heart failure, and about half of those who develop heart failure die within five years of diagnosis.

The DASH diet and heart health

This latest study adds to established research linking the DASH diet with heart health. For example, the original DASH trial, published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 1997, found that the DASH diet reduced blood pressure in adults with borderline high blood pressure (hypertension). Importantly, the DASH trial represented a broad spectrum of men and women, including racial and ethnic minorities from a variety of socioeconomic levels.

In a second study, researchers added a low-sodium modification to the DASH diet. In this trial, participants following a DASH diet were randomized to receive 3,000, 2,300, or 1,500 milligrams (mg) of sodium per day. The study found that the low-sodium (1,500 mg/day) DASH diet was as effective for lowering blood pressure as a first-line blood pressure-lowering medication. This is significant because, according to the American Heart Association, an estimated 103 million adults in the United States have high blood pressure, defined as a reading of 130/80 mm Hg or greater.

Why does the DASH diet work?

The DASH diet

• is low in saturated fat and dietary cholesterol
• is low in sodium (if following the low-sodium version)
• is rich in potassium, magnesium, calcium, protein, and fiber
• emphasizes fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy
• includes whole grains, fish, poultry, and nuts
• limits red meat, sweets, and sugary beverages.

These components seem to work synergistically to reduce risk factors for heart disease.

Getting started on the DASH diet

If you’d like to try the DASH diet, follow these guidelines, which are based on a 2,000 calorie per day diet.

Here are some tips for incorporating the DASH diet throughout your day.

Fruits and vegetables

• Start loading up on fruits and vegetables with your first meal of the day. Try an egg white omelet, cooked in olive oil. Add spinach, mushrooms, and yellow and orange peppers. Or make a quick smoothie using strawberries, blueberries, greens, and low-fat yogurt or low-fat milk.
• Assemble a marvelous salad for lunch with fresh salad greens, your favorite fruits and veggies, a healthy protein like beans, tuna, chicken, or tofu, a sprinkling of nuts or seeds, some whole grains like farro or quinoa, and a drizzle of olive oil and lemon.
• Make a stir-fry for dinner. Start with a healthy oil (olive or peanut), add some garlic, and load up with onions, peppers, baby bok choy, broccoli, mushrooms, asparagus, and any other vegetables you may have. Frozen vegetables are fine too. Make a little space in the wok to cook some chicken, shrimp, or tofu. Don’t forget to add some spices for flavor!

Dairy and whole grains

• Try a whole-grain cold cereal with low-fat milk or old-fashioned oats prepared using milk.
• Use low-fat cottage cheese and add some fresh chives. Serve on a few whole-grain crackers.
• Make a whole-wheat pasta and add some low-fat feta or goat cheese. Include a few peas and cherry tomatoes. Top with some extra virgin olive oil or a little pesto.

Healthy fats

• For a healthy dressing, mix 2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil to 1/3 cup vinegar, add a teaspoon of Dijon mustard, a dash of salt, and some ground pepper.
• Use olive oil when preparing roasted, stir-fried, or grilled vegetables.
• Try avocado toast — a slice of whole-grain bread with 1/2 an avocado sliced thin. Squeeze some fresh lemon over, and top with a teaspoon of sesame seeds.

Nuts, legumes, and seeds

• Add some nuts to your oatmeal or plain yogurt.
• Add pumpkin or sunflower seeds to salads.
• Have a small package of nuts or seeds on hand as a late afternoon snack.
• Make a vegetarian chili with black or red beans, chopped onions, canned tomatoes, minced garlic, cumin, and chili powder. If you use canned beans, rinse and drain them or buy the low-sodium version.

Fish, poultry, or lean meat

• Use lean protein as a part of the meal, not as the focus or the only food on your plate.
• Add chicken, fish, and occasionally lean meat to soups and salads where vegetables, whole grains, herbs, and nuts can take center stage.
• Try fish or chicken kabobs on the grill with chunks of red onion, portobello mushrooms, and yellow, red, and green peppers.
