2011-06-01
Johns Hopkins Children's Center scientists have found that having a regular outpatient mental health provider may not be enough to prevent children and teens with behavioral problems from repeatedly ending up in the emergency room. The study is published in the June 1 issue of the journal Psychiatric Services. Analyzing more than 2,900 records of pediatric patients, ages 3 to 17, treated at the Hopkins Children's ER for mental health crises over eight years, the investigators found that 338 of them (12 percent) returned to the ER within six months of their initial visit. ...

Philadelphia, PA, June 1, 2011 – Although gynecologic cancers account for only 10 percent of all new cancer cases in women, these cancers account for 20 percent of all female cancer survivors. Because long-term survival is now more common, it is increasingly important to detect recurrence.

Algal turf scrubbers clean water with sunlight

2011-06-01
An article published in the June issue of BioScience describes the early scale-up stage of a new biotechnology with environmental benefits and possible commercial potential.

Algal turf scrubbers ...

Low-carb, higher-fat diets add no arterial health risks to obese people seeking to lose weight

2011-06-01
Overweight and obese people looking to drop some pounds and considering one of the popular low-carbohydrate diets, along with moderate exercise, need not worry that the higher proportion of fat in such a program compared to a low-fat, high-carb diet may harm their arteries, suggests a pair of new studies by heart and vascular researchers at Johns Hopkins. "Overweight and obese people appear to really have options when choosing a weight-loss program, including a low-carb diet, and even if it means eating more fat," says the studies' lead investigator exercise physiologist ...

Surgical removal of the tonsils and appendix associated with risk of early heart attack

2011-06-01
The surgical removal of the appendix and tonsils before the age of 20 was associated with an increased risk of premature heart attack in a large population study performed in Sweden.(1) Tonsillectomy increased the risk by 44% (hazard ratio 1.44) and appendectomy by 33% (HR 1.33). The risk increases were just statistically significant, and were even higher when the tonsils and appendix were both removed. However, there was no risk association evident when the operations were performed in people over the age of 20. Both the appendix and tonsils are lymphoid organs and thus ...

Radiology benefit managers adversely affect referring physicians, study suggests

2011-06-01

2011-06-01

Advanced medical imaging is a component of health care expenditure growth.
