Greenhouse Gases Higher
Than Worst Case Scenario |
By Associated Press The global output of heat-trapping carbon dioxide has jumped by a record amount, according to the US department of energy, a sign of how feeble the world's efforts are at slowing man-made global warming. The figures for 2010 mean that levels of greenhouse gases are higher than the worst case scenario outlined by climate experts just four years ago. "The more we talk about the need to control emissions, the more they are growing," said John Reilly, the co-director of MIT's Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change. ..........Full Story

Halloween Horror!

SGR Slasher Threatens
27% Cut |
By:

News Digital

If current
law stands,
physician
fees will be
cut by 27%
in 2012, not
the 29%
originally
projected,
according to
the final
payment rule
issued Nov.
1 by the
Centers for
Medicare and
Medicaid
Services.
The slight
decrease is
due to
lower-than-expected
Medicare
cost growth,
CMS
officials
said in a
statement.
Unless
Congress
steps in,
the
reduction
will go into
effect Jan.
1 as
mandated by
Medicare’s
Sustainable
Growth Rate
(SGR)
formula.
Both

his budget,
and CMS

cancer |
By Nanci
Hellmich,
USA
TODAY
More
than
90,000
new
cancer
cases a
year in
the
United
States
may be
due to
physical
inactivity
and
prolonged
periods
of
sitting,
a new
analysis
shows.
The
analysis,
being
presented
today at
the
annual
conference
of the
American

(AICR)
in
Washington,
D.C.,
cites
about
49,000
cases of
breast
cancer
and
43,000
of colon
cancer.
"This
gives us
some
idea of
the
cancers
we could
prevent
by
getting
people
to be
more
active,"

ADHD Drugs Showed No
Risk
of Cardiovascular Events |
By: SHARON WORCESTER, Internal Medicine News Digital Network
Case reports that have raised concerns about a possible link between drugs used to treat attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and an increased risk of serious cardiovascular events, but no evidence of such a link was found in a large retrospective cohort study involving data from more than 1.2 million children and young adults. Although case reports from adverse-event reporting systems are important for helping to identify safety signals, they cannot be relied upon to quantify risk, and the findings of the current study, which are consistent with several other studies, suggest that risk is low, according to Dr. William O. Cooper of Vanderbilt University, Nashville, .......Full Story

Pancreatic cancer
touches black community
too |
|
By
Dr. Tyeese Gaines
Steve Jobs' death has
instantaneously raised
the public's awareness
of pancreatic cancer.
Other notables have lost
the battle against
pancreatic cancer,
including Patrick Swayze
in 2009, legendary
saxophonist James Moody
last year, and former
civil rights leader
Reverend James Bevel
this year. It was once
rumored that Aretha
Franklin suffered from
pancreatic cancer before
she publicly debunked
the claims. However, now
pancreatic cancer has
the world's ear. The
survival rate of
pancreatic cancer is
dismal to begin with.
Only 1 of 4 people with
pancreatic cancer
survive one year past
diagnosis. .......Full Story |
