Cancer survival better in private care
Cancer survival better in private care. Bowel cancer patients treated in private hospitals have a better chance of survival than those cared for in the public system, a study has found. Superior surgery and improved access to chemotherapy were probably responsible for their brighter outcomes, according to the Western Australian research.

Studies reveal a bacteria that thrives in freezing temperatures is present in almost half of Victoria's cases of childhood chronic inflammatory bowel disease, News Limited newspapers said.
Subliminal ads impact brain activity
International research shows subliminal advertising techniques do have an impact on brain activity - but the question over whether this influences consumer behaviour remains unanswered. Scientists at the University College London (UCL) have found the first physiological evidence that invisible subliminal images do attract the brain's attention on a subconscious level.
National Dental Scheme
Labor to introduce national dental scheme. The Health Services Union is campaigning for a scheme to expand Medicare to cover dental services for the elderly, children and low income earners. It says half of all Australians have put off dental treatment because they cannot afford it.

New hope in fight against cancer. Cancer patients may eventually be spared the debilitating side effects of chemotherapy, including hair loss, thanks to pioneering research in Melbourne. A new research facility at the St Vincent's Institute (SVI) is revolutionising the way Melbourne scientists develop anti-cancer treatments and improve the efficiency of existing drugs.
Fluoride in bottled water

Botox pout may disappear
Botox pout may disappear: scientist. The unnaturally stiff pout and suspiciously firm cheeks which go hand-in-hand with a cosmetic revamp may be a thing of the past. Cosmetic scientists have refined the non-surgical technology used to plump up wrinkles and "fill in" jowls on thousands of Australian faces every year.

Smell - Sight and Hearing
Smell - Sight and Hearing
Getting old will always dull the eyes and ears but new research suggests that the sense of smell is protected from ageing, as long as you're healthy. Smokers, people with sinus complaints and those on medication will lose their sharp nasal capabilities quickest, the Queensland study shows.

Queensland Aussies pay more to eat in Isolated areas
Queensland Aussies pay more to eat in Isolated areas. The study calculated the cost for a fortnight's "standard basket" of healthy food for a family of six in different parts of the Queensland sunshine state between 1998 and 2004. The Queensland Health researchers found that, in 2004, the average family living in Brisbane or smaller cities like Toowoomba would pay about $385 for their basket. In regional areas like Mackay and Townsville the same basket costs up to $412, rising to $441 for more remote towns. But families in the most isolated areas of the state will pay just under $500 - 30 per cent more than city dwellers.
Queensland Deaths Avoidable
Half of all deaths annually in Queensland are potentially avoidable, a study into Queenslanders' health has found. Queensland also continued to have the highest rate of melanoma in the world - but more than half the population thought tanning was attractive, the report showed. The Queensland vegetable consumption was still below recommended rates, while diabetes increased by about 50 new cases daily. "There's a tsunami of chronic disease on the horizon," Mr Robertson warned.
Dental Care
Prime Minister John Howard says the states should take responsibility for improving public dental care. Queensland Liberal MP Alexander Somlyay, said blame shifting between state and federal governments was a feature of Australia's health system but did not benefit patients. Addressing the blame game will involve a national approach to developing and funding health care," he told parliament. Receiving dental care when it was needed could significantly affect a person's quality of life and future health costs.
