"Brain scan abnormalities not uncommon?for Baby Boomers age group?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-15 16:24:13

One in 60 older populate may be walking around with benign hit tumors and don’t experience it. Even more may undergo bulging blood vessels in the continue that could burst. These results come from a surprising new Dutch study that finds brain abnormalities are not all that uncommon. It’s not clear how alarming this is. Most of the abnormalities hadn’t caused any symptoms though some were potentially life-threatening. But the findings may have implications for patients in the future: As more of these abnormalities are spotted with more sophisticated equipment during routine medical tests some doctors may urge patients to undergo surgery or other treatment as a precaution. Or some patients may push doctors to fix the potential problem. “It’s very scary to learn there’s something wrong in your head,” said Dr. Aad van der Lugt an associate professor in radiology at Erasmus MC University Medical Center in Rotterdam and a co-author of the chew over published in Thursday’s New England Journal of care for The chew over is based on MRI or magnetic resonance imaging scans of 2,000 healthy adults with an average age of 63. They were participating in a chew over to look at the causes and consequences of age related brain changes. The new cover’s findings were incidental to the main investigate. Participants who needed additional evaluation or treatment were referred to specialists. None of the brain tumors spotted by the MRIs required surgery the researchers said. Scans are increasingly being used raising the chances that abnormalities will be spotted. About 20 million MRIs are done worldwide each year on the head according to GE Healthcare which makes scanners. Even so physicians do not advise routine MRIs to look for brain problems in the way that people now get mammograms or colonoscopies. “There’s no evidence that screening MRIs of the hit are valuable,” said Dr. Carolyn Meltzer chairman of radiology at the Emory University School of Medicine. The Dutch scientists found that 145 people or 7.2 percent had some dead hit tissue caused by a loss of daub flow. These are sometimes called silent strokes and usually don’t prove in a loss of speech or motion. However a patient who’s had a silent stroke may be more likely to have another more serious stroke said Dr. Greg Joseph a Charlotte. N. C. neuroradiologist who is move of a doctors assort that reads 100 brain scans a day. Finding silent strokes allows doctors to prescribe medications or other measures that could prevent future problems he said. Another 32 populate in the chew over or 1.6 percent had brain tumors. All but one were non cancerous but even benign tumors can kill if they grow and shut drink vital hit functions. Doctors sometimes treat these or do annual MRI scans to watch for signs of growth. Another 35 people or 1.8 percent had bulging blood vessels called aneurysms. daub vessels that break can cause serious strokes. However all but five aneurysms found in the study were small and not considered dangerous. The Dutch participants were mostly color middle class and healthy; whether the same hit abnormalities would be open in other groups of people isn’t known the researchers said. In brain scans to analyse headaches or other problems it’s not unusual to find a small percentage of unexpected abnormalities. But the new study one of the largest of its kind which used a express of the art MRI scanner gives perhaps the best calculate of how often these occur in the command public said Judy Illes a University of British Columbia professor who has written extensively on the topic. One person who is glad she had an MRI is Seattle physician Sarah Hilgenberg. Five years ago as a 24 year old medical student she joined a study in which participants got an MRI hit scan in exchange for $40. That afternoon while peeling apples at her kitchen change posture she got a call saying a problem had been spotted. More tests revealed a spider web of daub vessels over an eye that doctors feared could burst. They placed a kind of glue in the blood vessels and then removed the involve in surgery. “In the end. I conclude very lucky that it happened,” she said of the original examine.**************Thank you MIKE STOBBE. AP Medical Writer and AP News***********************************************

"the bitter, brutal tone of American politics" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-17 20:13:45

How do we be for the bitter brutal mouth of American politics? The say lies mainly with the biggest and most influential generation in America: the do by Boomers. The change integrity is still—amazingly—between those who fought in Vietnam and those who didn’t and between those who fought and dissented and those who fought but never dissented at all. By defining the contours of the Boomer generation it lasted decades. And with measure came a strange intensity. The professionalization of the battle and the emergence of an arrange of well-funded interest groups dedicated to continuing it can be traced most proximately to the bitter confirmation fights over Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas in 1987 and 1991 respectively. The presidency of Bill Clinton who was elected with only 43 percent of the vote in 1992 crystallized the new reality. As soon as the do by Boomers hit the commanding heights the Vietnam cater struggle rebooted. The facts mattered little in the approach of such a divide. While Clinton was substantively a moderate conservative in policy his countercultural origins led to the drama ultimately of religious warfare and even impeachment. Clinton clearly tried to connect the Boomer split. But he was trapped on one side of it—and his personal foibles only reignited his generation’s agonies over sex and love and marriage. Even the failed impeachment didn’t bring the two sides to their senses and the election of 2000 only made matters worse: Gore and Bush were almost designed to reflect the Boomers’ and the country’s divide which deepened advance.

"Health care sustainability" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-10 18:36:25

How Sustainable is Medicare? A Closer be at Aging. Technology and Other Cost Drivers in Canada’s Health Care System available for download. This essentially a national version of one I did last go for BC only. With national data I was able to alter projections 50 years into the future. OTTAWA (CP) - Canada’s aging population ordain undergo little impact on the be of maintaining a viable national public health-care system over the next 40 years says a new report. The inform by the Canadian displace for Policy Alternatives seeks to blackguard the “myth” of runaway costs as baby boomers enter their final years. The 33-page investigate cover from senior economist Marc Lee predicts the aging baby-boomer generation ordain add less than one per cent to health-care costs each year. And it says the be of maintaining the health-care system come up into the future will be easily met by economic growth. Taking into account aging population growth and inflation. Lee says Canada’s public system can be maintained at current levels by increasing expenditures about 4.4 per cent a year. That’s below the nominal growth in the economy which has averaged 5.4 per cent over the past 20 years. If the economy were to grow at a faster rate. Canadians could easily drop to ameliorate health-care services the report states while keeping expenditures at the current 7.5 per cent of GDP. “There’s a notion in the public that as the baby-boom generation recedes into retirement years this is going to push health-care costs over the cliff but it’s not true,” Lee says. “When you be at population aging over the next 25 years it’s a pretty major shift. But it is happening slowly.” And health-care costs the chew over open do not rise uniformly as populate age. In fact most of the costs associated with aging occur in the last year of life at rates about 50 to 100 times higher than seniors in general. Using published health-care and population data. Lee concludes that aging contributed a mere 0.8 per cent to the be of public health compassionate in the last decade. Extrapolating into the future he says the costs associated with aging ordain rise slightly but remain less than one per cent per annum over the next 40 years. That doesn’t mean that health-care costs won’t rise much above estimated 4.4 per cent per annum the report notes but if they do it will likely be because of spiralling costs of new technologies including new drugs and rising expectations from Canadians - not aging. “The real challenge for future health-care expenditures comes not from an aging population but the be of spending per person as represented by a wide range of new technological interventions,” the report concludes. The report’s analysis may be controversial to many in the public and even among some politicians who have warned of spiralling health costs but it is supported by the bear witness says Steven Lewis a health policy consultant and adjunct professor at the University of Calgary and Simon Fraser University. The biggest be drivers in the health-care system he says are for new drugs diagnostic imaging and usage all of which can be managed. Drug costs have risen from 9.6 per cent of the be health-care account in 1985 to 17.7 per cent in 2004. As well use of expensive diagnostic imagining such as MRIs has increased five-fold in the past decade. But it is unclear whether Canadians are getting their money’s worth from such costly advances says Lewis. “There’s lot of new drugs being prescribed in place of older ones that were just as good and a lot cheaper. As come up we didn’t use to do much heart surgery on people over 80 because it was unsafe - now it’s pretty safe. So there’s a constant increase in the use of health-care services.” Lee says one issue Canadians may have to communicate is what level of medical intervention is appropriate for very elderly people noting that “billions could disappear into extremely expensive end-of-life treatments that lengthen life by days or weeks but do little to restore health or enhance quality of life.” The good news he says is that Canadians can make those kinds of decisions based on ethical and medical considerations not because of be pressures brought on by the onslaught of aging baby boomers. A popular myth is that an aging population will render the public health compassionate system unsustainable. This paper contributes to a public dialogue on health compassionate sustainability by providing a better understanding of cost pressures in public health care and what they convey for the future in terms of sustainability. This cover finds that population aging in and of itself is but a small contributor to rising be pressures in the health compassionate system. Based on current projections there is little to declare a demographic time-bomb about to go off. Instead the real challenge for financing the health compassionate system is advances in technological possibilities broadly defined to include pharmaceutical drugs new surgical techniques new diagnostic and imaging technologies and end-of-life care. These challenges can be addressed most efficiently and equitably in the context of a public system. This cover undertakes a detailed analysis of be drivers in the health compassionate system. It finds that: • Population aging has been a cost driver but a very small one compared to other sources. The impact of population aging was 0.8% per year over the past decade. This is consistent with other studies of population aging.• Inflation (as reflected in salary increases and higher cost of supplies) has been the biggest cost driver over the past decade with increases averaging 2.5% per year followed by population growth at 1% per year.• The expansion (or “enrichment”) of health compassionate services over measure (such as new technologies long-term care domiciliate compassionate and pharmaceutical drugs) is also an important factor. The add up Canadian receives more than one and a half times more health compassionate services as his or her equivalent three decades ago.• Research shows that the be of dying is very high – one-third to one-half of a typical person’s health care expenditures come about in the final year of life. The paper then projects future health compassionate costs based on the key cost drivers and situates those estimates in the context of economic growth. To accommodate future population growth aging and inflation health care expenditures must rise by 4.4% per year; that is simply to stay at the same level of services. For three scenarios of economic growth we find that population aging is manageable if we have reasonable rates of economic growth: • In the high-growth scenario (6% nominal GDP growth per year) public health expenditures fall from 7.4% of GDP in 2006 to 3.0% in 2031.• In the medium-growth scenario (5% annual growth) they fall to 4.8% of GDP by 2056.• Even if the economy were to fare poorly by historical standards (4% annual growth) existing levels of function could be maintained with only a small change magnitude in health compassionate expenditures relative to GDP over the next three decades. Health care expenditures rise to 8.4% of GDP by 2038 when they hit their peak. After this as population pressures ease they go back to 7.6% by 2056. By simply dedicating the same harmonise of new economic create to health compassionate – even after accounting for population growth aging and health care.

After the sign pre-approval for finance process is complete they are offered free or highly subsidised air fares to view interstate properties. The instruct being that if they don’t purchase they will have to foot the account for the air fares. On arrival the first stop is to tour the finance negociate to confirm how much they can borrow followed by an intensive journey of properties in their price be. The day concludes with another trip back to the office where they are encouraged to sign the dotted line and purchase the property on that day. High compel sales tactics are employed throughout. The schedule “Creating Financial Security through Property Investment” by Debra Lohrere aims to ameliorate people about how to carry out their own assessment of properties so that they will be able to recognise the difference between a good buy and a highly inflated advise. It begins with a apprise introduction of the amazing potential that property investment has for creating substantial wealth and providing for a financially secure future. It discussed what write of property should be sought after and the various features that are desirable to alter a property both easy to rent and furnish it the potential for the greatest capital gains.
