...exactly how great that added risk is appears to be in question. The results of a large, multicenter trial raise the possibility that the danger of some diabetes complications may not be as great as earlier data has indicated and that doctors may be screening diabetes patients to no benefit. Reporting from a group of institutions in the U.S. and Canada, researchers involved in the Detection of Ischemia in Asymptomatic Diabetics (DIAD) study found that screening diabetes patients for heart risk fails to predict which patients are most likely to have a heart attack.

...Among the patients who were screened, 5.5% needed procedures, such as bypass or angioplasty, to restore blood flow to the heart during the course of the trial. A similar proportion, 7.8%, of unscreened patients required similar procedure.

At that House hearing on March 19, Ward acknowledged that he has only a "very small command" - headquartered in Stuttgart, Germany - to deal with Africa, and not a soul on Somali soil. But things are getting better. "Every day improvements are made," Ward said. "I count it a victory when I can pick up the phone or send an e-mail and it goes...
