In older adults, some of the risks of pain management with opioids are amplified, such as the risk of sedation and falls.

Author in the Room™ InterviewsJAMA: 2009-10-21, Vol. 302, No. 15, Author in the Room™ Audio InterviewInterview with Laura Esserman, MD, MBA, author of Rethinking Screening for Breast Cancer and Prostate Cancer. Summary Points: 1. The effectiveness of screening depends on the underlying biology of cancer. Routine mammographic screening works best for slow to moderate growth tumors, most common in women 50-74 and explains why the Preventive Services guidelines actually make sense. 2. There are ways that we can improve screening today. Trained mammographers find the most cancers and have the fewest false positives. Offering follow-up as an option for low risk mammographic lesions will decrease false positives. Screening the populations who benefit most will also avoid false...
