Los doctores en medicina de los ojos piden al público que descorchen las botellas con precaución durante las celebraciones esta temporada festiva
SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - December 17, 2012) - Las botellas de champaña calientes y las técnicas inadecuadas para sacar el corcho causan graves lesiones de los ojos con posible ceguera todos los años, según la Academia Americana de Oftalmología . Las botellas de champaña contienen un nivel de presión de hasta 90 libras por pulgada cuadrada, mayor que la presión dentro de una llanta de auto típica. Esta presión puede lanzar un corcho de ch....

The truth about health care affordability/La verdad sobre la accesibilidad del cuidado de la salud
Healthcare policy is one of the main issues in this year's election. At the core of the debate is affordability. The fundamental political promise of the Affordable Care Act is that all American residents can have all the healthcare they want, whenever they want, from wherever they want, without having to pay for it. Any rational person recognizes this promise is impossible, but it resonates with many people as a sort of wishful thinking. The problem's complexity is not easy to explain because of the "sound bite"
culture we have in today's politics.
Some things are undeniable. The cur....

El cáncer se come a los pobres
Más personas mueren de cáncer que de VIH/Sida, tuberculosis y malaria juntas en los países empobrecidos. Se ha extendido como una metástasis la creencia de que la enfermedad sólo perjudica a personas de los “países desarrollados”. Esto limita los proyectos y las donaciones para desarrollar tratamientos en los países empobrecidos. Así lo expone la periodista Joanne Silberner en una serie de cinco reportajes para el Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting.
“La creencia era la siguiente: la gente en los países en desarrollo no vive lo suficiente para enfermarse de cáncer; el diagnóstico y los tr....

Is America aging fast in population - following the footsteps of Japan?
In a most recent article "Life, delayed: Couples putting off marriage due to economy" published in Salt Lake City Deseret Newspaper, it revealed a survey which cited 84 percent of young people (age 18-24) putting off a major life change or purchase they had planned, due to economical reasons. Of those, more than half has decided to postpone marriages and children.
Births in the US have been falling since 2008, reaching a 12-year low last year, according to Bloomberg News. It is also the smallest population gain since World War II.
Less and less young adults get married. The share of yo....

The 47% and Healthcare Reform
It may be unpopular to say so, but it is true: the U.S. is very close to, if not past, the tipping point at which the majority of the people are net beneficiaries of big government—or so they think. People who receive a check from the government may see voting for a smaller government as contrary to their best interest. If they don’t pay taxes, why should they care about a tax increase?
Perceptions are, however, deceiving.“Healthcare reform,” as the (Un)Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare) is billed, probably shows more clearly than anything else how most Americans, including Romney’s notoriou....

Congress is Putting Rural Patients on the Chopping Block
There's a misguided cost-cutting plan being discussed on Capitol Hill that could severely jeopardize the health of millions of rural Americans. Community cancer clinics across the country could be forced to shut down, leaving many patients living outside of major cities without anyone to treat them.
This plan centers on Medicare Part B, the component of Medicare that covers services provided by doctors, generally in their offices. This includes the special class of medications that need to be administered in a doctor's office.
For diseases such as cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, and mult....

Patients Need Drug Options, Not Limitations
Imagine being sick with a life-threatening disease. Most of us would want access to as many medicines as possible -- including the full range of proven treatment options.
But under the Affordable Care Act, some people may see their drug choices severely restricted.
A draft regulation proposed by the Department of Health and Human Services would require insurers participating in the law's new exchanges to cover only a single drug in each class of pharmaceuticals.
That could be a disaster for both patients and doctors. Those living with chronic conditions -- think serious mental illne....
