No evidence that higher regional health care costs indicate inappropriate care, study shows
2012-03-22
There is no solid evidence to support the widely held belief that regions of the United States that spend more on health care and have higher rates of health care use deliver more unnecessary care to patients, or that low-cost areas deliver higher quality and more efficient care, according to a study led by Salomeh Keyhani, MD, a physician at the San Francisco VA Medical Center and an assistant professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco.
The study authors called for national health care policies designed to discourage inappropriate care, regardless ...
International research finds quality and safety problems in hospitals throughout 13 countries
2012-03-22
In one of the largest studies of its kind, a consortium of investigators from 13 countries led the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing in the U.S. and the Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium in Europe, found that nurses who reported better working conditions in hospitals and less likelihood of leaving also had patients who were more satisfied with their hospital stay and rated their hospitals more highly. The study was released today in the current issue of the prestigious British Medical Journal.
The massive study, which in some countries involved every ...
Unexpected discovery reveals a new mechanism for how the cerebellum extracts signal from noise
2012-03-22
Research at the University of Calgary's Hotchkiss Brain Institute (HBI) has demonstrated the novel expression of an ion channel in Purkinje cells – specialized neurons in the cerebellum, the area of the brain responsible for movement. Ray W. Turner, PhD, Professor in the Department of Cell Biology & Anatomy and PhD student Jordan Engbers and colleagues published this finding in the January edition of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
This research identifies for the first time that an ion channel called KCa3.1 that was not previously ...
Research provides new hope for those suffering from Crohn's disease
2012-03-22
Researchers from the Hotchkiss Brain Institute (HBI) and the Snyder Institute for Chronic Diseases at the University of Calgary's Faculty of Medicine have discovered a pathway that may contribute to the symptoms related to Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, collectively known as Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). This research is a major milestone in developing future drug therapies for those living with these debilitating disorders.

Checks and balances for medical practitioners?
2012-03-22
USC Marshall study finds video capture and other automated systems cut down medical errors and minimize the tendency to operate outside normal procedures.
The Conrad Murray case can obfuscate that the vast majority of grave medical errors happen in hospitals—the places we think are most safe—and are often the result of bad systems. Poor transmission of information and unmonitored interventions yield problems in operations, recovery rooms and regular wards. But how can we minimize interpretive and procedural errors that are the root cause of most medical mistakes?

Students Using Fake Id Risk More Than Underage Drinking Charges
2012-03-22
At some campuses, a fake driver's license is almost a standard accessory for college students. In a small sample of students at a branch of the State University of New York, more than three-fourths of students interviewed admitted that they carry false identification -- mainly to gain entry to bars and to buy alcohol.
When surveyed, many students admitted that it was challenging to convince bouncers that they are of legal age. Identification is carefully scrutinized, because bar owners do not want to jeopardize their state alcohol license by violating laws against underage ...
Electricity from trees
2012-03-22
Plants have long been known as the lungs of the earth, but a new finding has found they may also play a role in electrifying the atmosphere.
Scientists have long-suspected an association between trees and electricity but researchers from Queensland University of Technology (QUT), in Brisbane, Australia, think they may have finally discovered the link.
Dr Rohan Jayaratne and Dr Xuan Ling from QUT's International Laboratory for Air Quality and Health (ILAQH), led by Professor Lidia Morawska, ran experiments in six locations around Brisbane, including the Brisbane Forest ...
Does Race Affect Presidential Pardons? One Study Thinks So
2012-03-22
Few people think about presidential pardons in racial terms. Even fewer people think about presidential pardons at all. But in a recent two-part article co-published by ProPublica and The Washington Post, an analysis of presidential pardon data seems to suggest that race may be a more important factor in presidential pardons than one might think.
Most presidential pardons go unnoticed; those that do not often leave the impression that the process is rife with political maneuvering and backroom favors. Criminals pardoned with presidential pardons are essentially returned ...
Memory problems may increase after being hospitalized
2012-03-22
ST. PAUL, Minn. – A new study suggests that older people may have an increased risk of problems with memory and thinking abilities after being in the hospital, according to research published in the March 21, 2012, online issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
"Our study is timely as the United States population continues to rapidly age and researchers try to identify factors that could reduce memory and thinking problems in the elderly," said study author Robert S. Wilson, PhD, of Rush University Medical Center in Chicago. "Understanding ...
To promote lasting impact, cancer drugs should force dying cells to alert immune response
2012-03-22
WASHINGTON — A new finding in basic science should trigger a "change in thinking" about how cancer drugs might be developed and tested for maximum effectiveness, says Louis M. Weiner, M.D., director of the Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center, in a "Clinical Implications of Basic Research" article titled
Tumor-Cell Death, Autophagy, and Immunity published in the March 22 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM).
An internationally known expert in immunotherapy research, Weiner was invited, along with Michael T. Lotze, M.D. from the University of ...
