Mehmet discusses how the team hopes that this new microchip will be used to detect cancers earlier and will help physicians make treatment decisions that might lengthen a persons life expectancy after their cancer diagnosis.

We determined the prevalence and correlates of cannabis use in Massachusetts after recreational use was passed, but before recreational cannabis stores opened. A cross-sectional, population-based survey of Massachusetts adults, age 18 years or older, (n = 3,022) was conducted in November-December, 2017. We estimated population-level prevalence and correlates of past 30-day cannabis use. 21.1% [95% CI: 18.6, 23.6] of Massachusetts adults reported past 30-day cannabis use. Among cannabis users, 56.0% [CI 49.1, 62.9] reported non-medical cannabis use, 15.5% [12.1, 18.9] reported medical cannabis use, and 28.5% [CI 22.3, 34.8] reported both types of use. Men were more likely than women to use cannabis (Risk Ratio: 1.3 [CI 1.1, 1.6]), as were young adults (18-25 years old), those with lower socioeconomic status, non-parenting individuals, those who used alcohol (1.9 [CI 1.4, 2.6]) or other substances (1.7 [CI 1.3, 2.4]), and residents of Western Massachusetts (2.0 [1.3, 3.0]; ref: Boston area), the ...

Background Approximately 50% of smokers die prematurely from tobacco-related diseases. In July 2006, the Massachusetts health care reform law mandated tobacco cessation coverage for the Massachusetts Medicaid population. The new benefit included behavioral counseling and all medications approved for tobacco cessation treatment by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Between July 1, 2006 and December 31, 2008, a total of 70,140 unique Massachusetts Medicaid subscribers used the newly available benefit, which is approximately 37% of all Massachusetts Medicaid smokers. Given the high utilization rate, the objective of this study is to determine if smoking prevalence decreased significantly after the initiation of tobacco cessation coverage. Methods and Findings Smoking prevalence was evaluated pre- to post-benefit using 1999 through 2008 data from the Massachusetts Behavioral Risk Factor Survey (BRFSS). The crude smoking rate decreased from 38.3% (95% C.I. 33.6%-42.9%) in the pre-benefit period

2016 Annual Meeting: Impact of Technique and Patient Subtype on Abdominoplasty Outcomes: A 12-year Massachusetts General Hospital Experience

In 2006 Massachusetts implemented a health care reform, which brought major changes to the health care system in the state. The main goal of the reform was to provide easier access to health insurance and lower the uninsured rate in the state. Cited as the blueprint for the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the ACA), the Massachusetts Health Reform Acts key components were a state health insurance exchange, an individual mandate, an employer mandate, and expansions to public health insurance programs.. First, the reform required formation of a health insurance exchange, called the Connector, which allowed individuals to shop online for health insurance that met the minimum requirements dictated by the Act. The Connector offered both subsidized and non-subsidized plans, expanding access to health insurance. Individuals with incomes below 300 percent of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) were offered health insurance subsidies1. Individuals with incomes below 150 percent of the FPL were ...

The Marthas Vineyard Family Campground began as a vacant wooded lot in 1968. The land was purchased by Charles and Jeanne Feeney from a retired doctor living in Vineyard Haven. Charles Chuck Feeney was an aerospace engineer at the time and was always taking his kids camping. His dream was to have a place for the family to camp and call it their own. So together with his wife and five children he converted a bus into a camper and carved out a site amongst the wild blueberry bushes and scrub oak trees. Our family fell in love with the island. We discovered all the island has to offer and found it irresistible. We were the tourists of yesteryear and what attracted our family back then still exists today: beautiful beaches, fabulous fishing, quaint villages and amazing sunsets. From the rolling hills of Aquinnah to the dunes of Katama, there is no place on earth like it.. ...

Lyme and other tick-borne diseases pose a significant health threat to outdoor workers. In a double-blind randomized controlled trial (RCT) in North Carolina outdoor workers, the investigators previously showed that long-lasting permethrin-impregnated (LLPI) clothing provided ,80% protection for one year against Lone Star tick bites among outdoor workers in North Carolina. But there are three issues that need to be addressed before this finding can be translated into policy: 1) Do LLPI clothing protect against black legged ticks, the vector for Lyme disease, babesiosis and anaplasmosis? 2) What levels of permethrin and its metabolites are absorbed, and are they potentially toxic? 3) Why did the LLPI clothing in our previous study lose efficacy after a year?. Participants: The investigators will recruit 250 outdoor workers. The investigators anticipate recruiting 80, 80, 40,30, and 20 participants from NationalGrid, the RI Department of Environmental Management, the Massachusetts Department of ...

Zofran during pregnancy was evaluated by researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, the Slone Epidemiology Center at Boston University, and the National Center on Birth Defects and Development Disabilities. They searched specifically for several of the mostcommon birth defects, including cleft palate and cleft lip. Like the study analyzing the risk of heart defects in a Zofran pregnancy, the results from the data in this study were clear and statistically significant: Zofran increases the risk of cleft palates.. Infants born to women taking Zofran early during pregnancy are at 237% above the baseline risk for cleft palate. If you used Zofran during pregnancy, especially during the first trimester of pregnancy, and had a child with cleft palate, this study indicates that Zofran likely caused the birth defect.. The researchers did not stop there, but rather studied the risk of alternatives to Zofran for morning sickness during pregnancy. ...

The goal of this study was to evaluate temporal and spatial variations in the reporting of cases of giardiasis and cryptosporidiosis to a passive surveillance system, and to assess the relationship of those variations to source of drinking water, adjusting for socioeconomic variables.,The authors analyzed temporal and spatial patterns for 4,058 cases of giardiasis and 230 cases of cryptosporidiosis reported to the Massachusetts Department of Public Health for 1993-1996. They linked each reported case to a database containing information on source of residential water supply and socioeconomic characteristics and evaluated the association between these factors and reporting rates using regression techniques.,Reports of giardiasis and cryptosporidiosis were highest for the mixed unfiltered drinking water supply category. Reports of giardiasis were associated with income levels. Increases in reporting for both giardiasis and cryptosporidiosis were seen in summer to early fall. During a suspected ...

TUESDAY, Feb. 12, 2019 (HealthDay News) -- Recent increases in vocal cord cancers among younger, nonsmoking Americans may be explained by the spread of human papilloma virus (HPV), researchers report.. Over the past 150 years, vocal cord, or glottic cancer, has been almost exclusively a disease associated with smoking and almost entirely seen in patients over 40 years old, explained study senior author Dr. Steven Zeitels. He directs the Division of Laryngeal Surgery at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.. Today, nonsmokers are approaching 50 percent of glottic cancer patients, and it is common for them to be diagnosed under the age of 40, Zeitels said in a hospital news release. This epidemiologic transformation of vocal cord cancer is a significant public health issue.. In the study, the researchers examined the records of 353 patients treated for vocal cord cancer at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary and Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) between July 1990 and June ...

Beginning with the first formal match, the U.S. Ryder Cup Team elected to field a team of native-born Americans. Only Walter Hagen, Bill Mehlhorn and Al Watrous remained from the informal U.S. squad of the previous year. The British team was virtually intact from 1926, with the exception of Charles Whitcombe, who replaced his brother Ernie, and Ted Ray, who took over the captains duties from Abe Mitchell, who was diagnosed with appendicitis. The British Team sailed on the Aquitania from Southampton, a six-day journey. Because the team was undermanned, Professional Golfers Association Secretary Percy Perrins recruited Herbert Jolly, one of a number of outstanding players from the Channel Islands, to join the team. Jolly boarded the Majestic in Southampton and arrived in New York City four days after the rest of the team. The competition at Worcester Country Club featured four foursomes and eight singles matches. The Americans won nine matches, with only two defeats and one halve. Ted Ray later ...
