Contrary To Guidelines, Compression Stockings Do Not Reduce The Risk Of Blood Clots After Stroke (CLOTS Study)
Thigh-length graduated support stockings (TL-GCS) do not reduce the risk of blood clots in stroke patients. Since guidelines in the UK and many developed nations recommend use of TL-GCS, such guidelines should now be urgently revised. The findings of the CLOTS trial are published in an Article Online First and in an upcoming edition of The Lancet, written by Professor Martin Dennis, University of Edinburgh, UK, and colleagues. Most of the study"s funding came from the UK Medical Research Council. The findings are to be announced during this week"s European Stroke Conference, Stockholm, Sweden.

Ohio Bill Would Require Biological Father's Consent For Abortion

A bill (HR 252) introduced this month in the Ohio House would require a pregnant woman seeking an abortion to obtain written consent from the fetus" biological father, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports. If the woman does not know the identity of the biological father, she would have to provide proof of paternity tests of potential fathers. The bill is sponsored by Rep. John Adams (R) and co-sponsored by four other Republicans.The bill would establish "abortion fraud" as a first-degree misdemeanor, punishable by up to six months in jail and a fine of up to $1,000. Repeat offenders could be charged with a fifth-degree felony, punishable by up to one year in jail and up to a $2,500 fine. The bill is not clear as to who could be fined or jailed. Becki Brenner, president of Planned Parenthood of Southwest Ohio, said that she believes doctors would be the ones ultimately fined or jailed.Brenner criticized the bill, saying that a woman would have to pay at least $1,400 for each DNA test if she is unsure who the father is. Brenner called the legislation "a burden on a woman," adding that the whole purpose behind the bill is to make it harder to obtain a legal abortion. She said, "Hopefully, [the bill] won"t even get debate in the committee" because it is "blatantly anti-woman."Paula Westwood, executive director of Right to Life of Greater Cincinnati, said that her group supports the bill. She added, "I would think men would want to have these rights."According to the Enquirer, the bill does not have the support of the House Democratic majority. The current version of the bill has not been assigned to a committee, and it is unlikely to pass the House, much like past bills seeking new restrictions on abortion (Craig/Preston, Cincinnati Enquirer, 7/24).
