Little is known about the etiology of hospitalizations among HF patients. Fang et al. (21) examined hospitalizations from the National Hospital Discharge Survey from 1979 through 2004. They found that the proportion of hospitalizations with HF as a first-listed diagnosis remained at approximately 30% over the study period. However, there was a decline in the proportion of admissions due to coronary or other cardiovascular diseases, and an increase in the proportion due to noncardiovascular diseases. Curtis et al. (8) examined hospital readmission rates among Medicare beneficiaries hospitalized with HF from 2001 through 2005 and found that approximately 27% of readmissions were due to HF. This analysis did not include patients without a prior HF hospitalization and only examined the first readmission, and thus cannot provide information on the total burden of hospitalizations. To date, the cause of hospitalization among community HF patients, and potential temporal changes, remain unclear.. The ...

Background: Non-hemorrhagic cerebrovascular disease (NH-CVD) is one of the leading causes of hospitalization in the United States (US). We describe the trends in NH-CVD hospitalizations in the US over a twelve-year period.. Methods: We abstracted and analyzed data for NH-CVD hospitalizations, from 1999 to 2010, from the National Hospital Discharge Survey - a national probability sample of hospitalizations at US non-federal short-stay hospitals. NH-CVD hospitalizations were defined as hospitalizations whose principal diagnoses were coded using the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification codes 433-438. NH-CVD hospitalization rates were calculated for those 15 years and older, as well as among demographic sub-groups defined by age, race, gender, and geographical region. A multivariate logistic regression was modeled, with NH-CVD hospitalization as the outcome and time period as the main predictor, while controlling for age, gender, race, region, and ...

Based on data from the National Deaths in Custody Program, this paper discusses gender specific trends in custodial deaths in Australia over the period 1980 to 2000. The paper presents statistics on Indigenous and non Indigenous female and male deaths in custody for the period, including statistics on the type of custody, most serious offence, and cause and manner of death. Of the 75 females who died in custody over this period, the majority of Indigenous female deaths occurred in police custody, whilenon Indigenous women were more likely to die in prison. Overall, self inflicted death by hanging was the leading manner of death for females (and males), although Indigenous women were more likely than non Indigenous women to die from natural causes. The paper also discusses five case studies of female deaths in custody, both Indigenous and non Indigenous.

Rob: Its deliberate on my part not to use or overuse human or person to wean myself off the learned paradigm to blame someone. Humans certainly are in the mix of CAS agents and I would say the most unpredictable.. If creating means a change in state, then a system can create or invoke something apart from humans. An example would be water constantly dripping into a bucket on a dry floor. This is a system composed of 3 agents. The water level will rise and eventually the bucket will reach capacity (the tipping point) and water will spill onto the floor. The system created something new - a wet floor and it emerged without any human intervention. Another example is the weather system where air as an agent interacts with water. We monitor the system by the change in its properties (temperature, barometric pressure, humidity, etc.) When the right conditions exist, sunshine, cloudiness, rain shower, snowfall , a hurricane, a tornado, etc. emerges, is created, invoked.. I dont have any ...

Only a small proportion of patients hospitalized with a spinal fracture undergo surgery. Of the 334,300 hospital admissions in the NIS database, fusion (8.8%) and kyphoplasty/vertebroplasty (10.6%) were the most common procedures performed. Similar rates of procedures were found in the NEDS hospitalized patients and National Hospital Discharge Survey (NHDS) databases.

The incidence rates of cardiogenic shock after AMI have ranged from 5% to 15% in previously published studies. This relatively wide range reflects the various definitions of AMI and cardiogenic shock used, the use of representative as opposed to more highly selected patient samples, the time periods under study, and the use of therapeutic options that may reduce the risk of cardiogenic shock. The overall incidence rates of cardiogenic shock observed in the present study fall within this range.. The relatively few studies that have examined changing trends in the incidence rates of cardiogenic shock after AMI have yielded conflicting results. In the National Hospital Discharge Survey, declines in the frequency of cardiogenic shock were observed between 1979 and the early 2000s, in concert with increasing rates of PCI use.12 In contrast, findings from the National Registry of Myocardial Infarction showed either stable or slightly increasing incidence rates of cardiogenic shock over the 10-year ...

A new report verifies the link between obesity and venous thromboembolism that was established in 1927, adding that the risk is particularly strong among obese people under age 40. Investigators from St. Joseph Mercy Hospital in Michigan reviewed data from the 1979-1999 National Hospital Discharge Survey that included more than 12 million obese people and 700 million people who were not considered obese. They found that obese patients were 2.5 times more likely to have deep venous thrombosis (DVT) than those who were not obese; the obese group was 2.21 times more likely to experience a pulmonary embolism. The risk was greater for women than it was for men, and the poor effects of obesity were more likely to affect people under age 40; they had 5 times the risk of DVT. Obese women under age 40 had 6 times the risk of DVT, compared with nonobese women. Investigators hope these findings will raise awareness of pulmonary embolism as a possible diagnosis.

Essentials of Social Statistics for a Diverse Society, Third Edition, is a more streamlined, less expensive version of the successful Social Statistics for a Diverse Society. As in the parent text, the Essentials version does more than introduce students to the statistical techniques used by social scientists. It is distinct for the use of real data from contemporary social issues, illustrating the interplay between social concerns and methods of inquiry, and for a strong emphasis on race, class, gender, and other statuses to show how statistics can be a tool for understanding the richness of social differences within society. With a wide range of examples and exercises taken from current events and published research, frequent illustrations, and a focus on student learning, this book continues to be an accessible and engaging resource for students.. I think this textbook is incredibly readable. It presents statistics in a manner that is easy to grasp and comprehend but is still rigorous in ...

Present statistics point out that 1 in Three girls and 1 in 5 males worldwide over the age of 50 expertise an osteoporosis-related fracture.

Jason Furman PhD, and M. Fiedler, PhD, from the Council of Economic Advisors, write in The Cadillac Tax - A Crucial Tool for Delivery-System Reform, that the Cadillac Tax - a 40% tax to be levied in 2000 on employer health plan costs in excess of $29,100 for family coverage and $10,700 for individual coverage is a good thing because it will drive employers to make their health plans more efficient. Presumably the tax will drive workers towards more efficient providers. The two authors say the Cadillac tax will save $95 billion by 2015 and $500 billion by 2036. Such a statement requires a belief in the federal tooth and truth fairy, which does not have history of saving money. In 1965, the government promised Medicare and Medicaid costs would not exceed $9 billion by 1990. The actual 1990 cost was $67 billion - 7.44 times the original projections In 2016 CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid) will cost over $1 trillion, 15 times the 1990 figure. So much for government promises and projections ...

Here then is a more interesting and distinctly different, positive story. This is a story, in my view a true story, in which the social benefits of much of the financial sector are enormous. The problem is that these benefits are difficult to see because one cannot easily envisage the so-called counterfactual: what our society would be like without modern finance. On this, perhaps one should reflect on the World Banks insistence on conditions for capital formation as a critical driver of transition from developing economy status. Or just consider the huge change in living standards in countries developing their financial systems for the first time.. In brief, the positive story is as follows. Finance assists growth. Growth assists prosperity. But only good finance assists stable growth. And finance is most likely good when culture is good.. Much of the underlying empirical and theoretical literature that supports these propositions is by Ross Levine and his collaborators. They find that ...

This paper provides an analysis of high-pressure phenomena and its potential effects on the fundamental physics of fuel injection in Diesel engines. In particular, we focus on conditions when cylinder pressures exceed the thermodynamic critical pressure of the injected fuel and describe the major differences that occur in the jet dynamics compared to that described by classical spray theory. To facilitate the analysis, we present a detailed model framework based on the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) technique that is designed to account for key high-pressure phenomena. This framework is then used to perform a thermodynamic analysis of the flow. We focus on the experiments being conducted in the high-pressure combustion vessel at Sandia National Laboratories using n-heptane as a reference fuel. The calculations are performed by rigorously treating the experimental geometry and operating conditions, with detailed treatment of relevant thermophysical mixture properties ...

CHICAGO - The Cubs added another outfielder, agreeing to a $1.5 million, one-year contract with Jake Marisnick, two people familiar with the situation told The Associated Press Marisnick will make $1 million this season, two people said Thursday, speaking on condition of anonymity because the move was pending a physical. The deal includes a $4 million mutual option for 2022 with a $500,000 buyout. The 29-year-old Marisnick hit .333 with two homers and five RBIs in 16 games with the New York Mets last year. But he is known more for his defence in centre field. Chicago is rounding out its roster after it didnt make any major additions for much of the winter. The reigning NL Central champions announced contracts for outfielder Joc Pederson and pitchers Trevor Williams and Andrew Chafin last week. While Pederson steps in for Kyle Schwarber in left, Marisnick likely is headed for a bench role as a late-inning defensive replacement and pinch runner. He has 73 steals, including a career-high 24 in 2015 with

The Charlson comorbidity index is often used to control for confounding in research based on medical databases. There are few studies of the accuracy of the codes obtained from these databases. We examined the positive predictive value (PPV) of the ICD-10 diagnostic coding in the Danish National Registry of Patients (NRP) for the 19 Charlson conditions. Among all hospitalizations in Northern Denmark between 1 January 1998 and 31 December 2007 with a first-listed diagnosis of a Charlson condition in the NRP, we selected 50 hospital contacts for each condition. We reviewed discharge summaries and medical records to verify the NRP diagnoses, and computed the PPV as the proportion of confirmed diagnoses. A total of 950 records were reviewed. The overall PPV for the 19 Charlson conditions was 98.0% (95% CI; 96.9, 98.8). The PPVs ranged from 82.0% (95% CI; 68.6%, 91.4%) for diabetes with diabetic complications to 100% (one-sided 97.5% CI; 92.9%, 100%) for congestive heart failure, peripheral vascular disease,

Trend data from 1980 through the most recent year available were analyzed from the mortality component of the National Vital Statistics System and from 3 surveys conducted by the CDC National Center for Health Statistics, that is, the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey, and the National Hospital Discharge Survey. Trend data from a fifth source, the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey, were available beginning in 1992. The analysis included nationally representative samples of households health care visits and data compiled from death certificates for children 0 to 17 years of age. Analyses of recent data were stratified according to age group (0-4, 5-10, or 11-17 years), gender, and, when possible, race/ethnicity. Data for 2004-2005, the most recent period available for all data sets, were used to obtain stable estimates. Available race/ethnicity data ranged from broad categories of race (white or black) for the National Hospital ...

Sanders biggest error was to present statistics for underemployment when making statements about unemployment, and got the ranking of the United States in income inequality wrong.. Sanders did provide an unexpected lifeline to Clinton when the email scandal came up, objecting to discussing this instead of the issues. It makes sense that he would not want to include this in his campaign, especially at a Democratic debate in front of partisan Democrats invited by the DNC. Besides, if Sanders had his way, he would talk about nothing other than income inequality and related economic matters throughout the debate, and the campaign. It is also unnecessary for Sanders to discuss this when there are still around thirty-six FOIA suits in progress along with the Justice Department investigation. If this was a debate in the general election, the Republicans could have raised a lot of valid points against Clinton, and this time would not have had to make things up as with Benghazi. As The Washington Post ...

Repossession rate is still under control because mortgage rates are low. According to the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML) the mortgage rate will continue to remain low in 2011. And then it will start to increase modestly in 2012. This will definitely have an impact on the number of house repossession all over the country; the repossession rate is likely to increase by 12.5% - that is what CML has predicted.. The repossession rate did not go beyond control because the mortgage rates were low; during the recession of 1991 higher number of people faced repossession compared to present statistics. Just imagine if mortgage rates start to increase in 2012, then situation may become really tough.. Many homeowners are still not feeling the tremor; but that does not mean they are safe! Once the mortgage rates go higher then the true picture will become visible. Once people realise that the plate is getting hotter they will start looking for a solution; perhaps they will try to sell their house fast to ...

The presence of a family member is often a prerequisite for successful palliative home care. The overall aim of this thesis was to contribute to a deeper understanding of family members experiences of having a dying relative or friend cared for by advanced palliative home care. Two methodological approaches were used. Semi-structured tape-recorded interviews were analysed with a hermeneutic approach (19 family members; 30 interviews). Two postal questionnaires with open-ended questions were distributed and the responses (217 and 233, respectively) were analysed with qualitative and quantitative content analyses.. All studies had a salutogenic orientation, i.e. with the origin of health in focus, and therefore facilitating as well as burdensome aspects were studied. In the interview studies, Antonovskys salutogenic theory of Sense of coherence was applied as a framework, and the concepts of comprehensibility, manageability and meaningfulness were used.. The studies showed that when the family ...

Smith5 published a comprehensive review of salutogenic mechanisms in the brain, noting that the components of a persons SOC are comprehensibility, manageability and meaningfulness. Other factors that contribute to salutogenesis include social support, spirituality, happiness, humor and love. Salutogenesis is more than a realization that attitudes affect outcomes. Salutogenic theory goes to the very essence of neurobiology. It has been noted that neurological processes (as well as anatomical structures) are remodeled by sensory input. These processes, collectively termed neuroplasticity, are operative at all levels of the nervous system. Smith described the range of these mechanisms:. From the afferent (incoming) activity of peripheral sensory receptors to the efferent (outgoing) activity directed toward neuroendocrine organs, blood vessels, and muscles. Although the selectivity of perception probably makes it impossible to be aware of everything that is happening throughout the body, it is ...

Objective: The aim of the study was investigation of the correlations between medical indicators of the course of illness and psychological factors, treated as generalised resistance resources, according to the Salutogenic Model by A.Antonovsky. The salutogenic orientation is one of the more...

The Doctor is suspicious, and rightly so, Axos, Axonite and the Axons are all part of one hideous parasitic entity brought to Earth by the Master to feed on the planets energy and consume it. The Doctor manages to materialise his TARDIS, with the Master on board, at the centre of the Axos ship. Outmanoeuvring the Master the Doctor offers to link the two ships together to make one giant time machine, on condition that Axos in return helps him to take revenge on the Time Lords for exiling him to Earth. The trick works, and Axos is locked in a time loop from which it can never escape. The Doctor returns to Earth in the TARDIS, where he reluctantly admits to the Brigadier that the Master has escaped. ...

In the field of evidence-based medicine more than any, the need for fully up to date evidence is paramount. The recommendations in this book have remained current over the past three years, but clinical oncology has moved on, and a wider issues have come to the fore which need addressing. Rather than rely on short update commentaries on the website, the editors have decided they need to produce an entirely new edition in which the wider management issues of diagnosis, patient choice, health policy and health economics are covered. The new edition also provides an opportunity to add more chapters on conditions where sufficient evidence has emerged for treatment recommendations to be made ...

For readers of Atul Gawande, Andrew Solomon, and Anne Lamott, a profoundly relocating, exquisitely saw memoir by way of a tender neurosurgeon confronted with a terminal melanoma analysis who makes an attempt to reply to the query What makes a existence worthy living?. At the age of thirty-six, at the verge of finishing a decades worthy of teaching as a neurosurgeon, Paul Kalanithi was once clinically determined with degree IV lung melanoma. someday he was once a physician treating the loss of life, and the following he was once a sufferer suffering to reside. And similar to that, the longer term he and his spouse had imagined evaporated. When Breath turns into Air chronicles Kalanithis transformation from a naïve scientific scholar possessed, as he wrote, by the query of what, on condition that all organisms die, makes a virtuous and significant life right into a neurosurgeon at Stanford operating within the mind, the main serious position for human id, and eventually right into a ...

The new contract will create a two-tier service as GPs focus their clinical efforts on illnesses covered by the quality framework, leaving other patients to lose out, GPs have warned.. Patients with musculoskeletal disorders, progressive neurological diseases, gastrointestinal conditions and dermato- logical complaints are among those whose care could suffer as GPs strive to reach target payments for quality markers in 11 clinical areas.. Dr Eugene Hughes, a GP on the Isle of Wight and a member of Primary Care Diabetes Europe, said GPs would concentrate on conditions in the quality framework that make them more money.. He said: GPs will mobilise themselves to meet the standards in the quality framework, perhaps to the detriment of other conditions. When you work in an under-funded service you become quite good at going after pots of money up for grabs.. Dr John Haughney, a GP in East Kilbride and chair of the General Practice Airways Group, said patients with conditions such as rheumatoid ...

As a part of preliminary work for Project Copper (the proposed surgery pavilion and parking garage) on the hospital campus, a geotechnical consultant will be onsite to collect soil samples using a drill rig. The work is scheduled for approximately three weeks between Sept. 21 to Oct. 9 and will be done during regular work hours, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays. Soil samples will be collected in Lot 4 and near the Ocean 7 staff entrance.. Construction noise will be generated during this work. The impact to neighbors is expected to be minimal; staff and patient families will likely hear the most noise. Expect to see large trucks and heavy equipment onsite, with some parking restrictions in Lot 4 during this work. Construction activity is weather-dependent and subject to change based on conditions.. Please call 206-987-8000 or email [email protected] with questions.. ...

Certainly, the main difficulty of this study is the limited sample size. However, the aim was to find a way to reasonably evaluate rating scale type assessment instruments at an early stage (which implies a small sample), and thereby make it possible to introduce improvements or evaluate the appropriateness of their use before a further large scale application. Furthermore, the history tells us that small studies are carried out quite frequently. We therefore suggest this 3- step strategy, which starts out from the use of sum score as the aggregated message from an instrument. It is well known that statistical models are vulnerable when applied on small samples. The sum score model is a model based solely on conditions in the assessment instrument - equally weighted items with unit distances between item categories - a fact which is often overlooked. In step 1, the nonparametric approach, basic characteristics are revealed with as few modelling restrictions as possible and form the basis for ...

Residents in the capital Niamey earlier reported hearing gunfire in the middle of the night in the district where the presidency is located. A government statement said an attempted coup had been blocked, condemning what it called a cowardly and regressive act which sought to threaten democracy and the state of law.. An investigation has been launched and several people connected with this attempted coup have been detained and others are being actively sought, it said, without giving further details.. The alleged leader of the coup is an air force officer in charge of security of Niameys military air base and is still being actively sought, a source within Nigers security services said.. The situation is totally under control, the government statement said, calling on the public to carry on with normal life. A security source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said there were some arrests among a few members of the army who had been behind the coup bid. The Presidential Guard ...

From wire reports. A new Media Polling Assn. survey shows President Obama leading Mitt Romney 73-26, with 1 percent undecided. The new poll highlights the challenges for the former governor as the candidates prepare for next weeks first presidential debate, seen by most experts as irrelevant.. This poll is in line with most recent polls showing the futility of the Romney campaign, pollster Val Jarrett said.. The survey demonstrates that there are not enough undecided voters for Romney to close the gap between now and November. Indeed, when contacted by phone, alleged undecided voter Jeff Spicoli, a recent college graduate, said, Whoa, I thought the pollster dude asked me how I planned to support myself, not who I planned to support. So I was like, Dude, Im undecided. Its either my parents or my girlfriend. But, hey, for president, Im for that dude on The View.. An Obama campaign spokesperson, however, speaking on condition of anonymity, expressed skepticism that Romney was pulling ...

Good news to all those coffee lovers out there: That cup of joe has quite a few health benefits, as long as you dont load it up with cream and sugar. A number of health organizations agree: The World Health Organization in June 2016 took coffee off the list of potentially carcinogenic foods, stating that java possibly protects again certain cancers, while the 2015 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee declared that three to five cups of coffee a day can be part of a healthy dietary pattern. In fact, research shows that black coffee can have a positive effect on conditions including diabetes, dementia and depression ...

Six unidentifi-ed members of the New Orleans Saints coaching staff, a player and a nutritioni-st have tested positive for COVID-19, two people familiar with the situation said.. The people spoke with The Associated Press on Tuesday on condition of anonymity because the team and NFL had not made a public statement about the matter. The people said the entire Saints coaching staff had been vaccinated.. Later Tuesday, Michael Thomas - who already was ineligible to play the first six games while on the clubs physically unable to perform list - was placed on New Orleans COVID-19 reserve list.. The names of most others who tested positive were not expected to be released in the short term because of federal medical privacy laws.. It is unclear how long those who tested positive will remain isolated from the team before they may return to the field or in-person meetings.. ...
