Taking Multiple Meds Ups Fall Risk

Published 02/01/2012 - 12:44 p.m. CDT

Working-age adults who use two or more prescription medications may be at risk for becoming seriously injured after falling in the home, researchers found.

In a study of young and middle-age adults, using at least two medications was associated with an increased likelihood of dying from or being hospitalized for a falling injury …. Antihypertensives and cholesterol-lowering drugs were the most common medications involved.

"The risk of falls may be increased as a result of both the intentional and unintentional effects of pharmacological therapy such as orthostatic hypotension, psychomotor impairment, extra-pyramidal symptoms, and dizziness."

Published 01/31/2012 - 11:50 a.m. CDT

Overuse of therapeutic procedures, diagnostic tests, and medications is an understudied problem that may account for as much as 30% of healthcare spending in the United States and result in harm to patients.

The 4 most common health services examined in the studies included in the review were antibiotics for upper respiratory infections, coronary angiography, carotid endarterectomy, and coronary artery bypass grafting and revascularization.

Published 01/31/2012 - 7:33 a.m. CDT

Ratings agency Standard & Poor's warned it may downgrade "a number of highly rated" Group of 20 countries from 2015 if their governments fail to enact reforms to curb rising healthcare spending and other costs related to ageing populations.

"If governments do not change their social protection systems, they will likely become unsustainable."

"If no reforms are adopted, healthcare-related credit downgrades would likely start within three years..."

"... developed nations will eventually become the victims of their social safety nets."

"S&P said it was not too late for G20 countries to tackle the problem, but reforms to contain age-related spending needed be coupled with efforts to balance budgets by 2016, which would be enough to offset rising healthcare costs by 2050."

ACA member Dr. Steven Shoshany, will make his second appearance on The Dr. Oz Show on Wednesday, Feb. 8.

ACA Member Seeks Second Super Bowl Ring

Published 02/03/2012 - 2:58 p.m. CDT

ACA member Dr. Rob DeStefano, team DC for the NY Giants, will be on the field in Indianapolis treating players during the big game.

Published 02/03/2012 - 5:42 a.m. CDT

ACA needs your help! Over the course of the past several years, ACA has been examining the practices of chiropractic networks. Recently, concerns about these networks has increased dramatically to the point of additional investigative efforts being put forth by ACA.

In order to effectively capture the voice of DCs regarding these issues, a questionnaire has been developed to give both members and non-members the opportunity to share their experiences about chiropractic networks. Responding to this questionnaire will help ACA understand the effects these networks have on profession, and will also help the association better position itself for future efforts.

Marathons Pose Little Risk to Heart

Published 02/04/2012 - 1:38 p.m. CDT

despite well-publicized stories of people dropping dead during or after running a marathon, the race isn't all that risky, researchers found.

Grief Raises Heart Attack Risk

Published 02/04/2012 - 6:35 a.m. CDT

The death of a loved one can literally be heart-breaking, or at least heart-attack-inducing, researchers have found.

Among a cohort of 1,985 people, the rate of myocardial infarction was more than 21 times higher than normal within 24 hours of losing a loved one.

Concussions and Chiropractic

Published 02/02/2012 - 5:56 a.m. CDT

Concussions are getting much-needed attention in the press, especially given the short- and long-term cognitive loss, early-onset dementia, physical disability and even death resulting from traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Laughter IS the Best Medicine

Published 02/01/2012 - 6:41 a.m. CDT

This study suggests that the addition of an adjunct therapeutic mirthful laughter Rx (a potential modulator of positive mood state) to standard diabetes care may lower stress and inflammatory response and increase “good” cholesterol levels.

The authors conclude that mirthful laughter may thus lower the risk of cardiovascular disease associated with diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome.

Published 01/29/2012 - 12:27 p.m. CDT

An FDA proposal to require dietary supplement manufacturers to submit data proving their product is safe doesn't go far enough, according to a physician writing in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Published 01/28/2012 - 8:23 a.m. CDT

A survey has suggested that most dentists tend to overprescribe antibiotics in children. The study found that adherence to professional prescribing guidelines ranged from 10% to 42%.

US dentists write between 200 million and 300 million antibiotic prescriptions each year, accounting for about 10% of all such prescriptions in the United States.

Published 02/03/2012 - 11:00 a.m. CDT

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) recently ruled that providers not successfully/satisfactorily participating in PQRS by the 2013 reporting period (Jan. 1 - Dec. 31, 2013), will have their Medicare reimbursement decreased by 1.5 percent beginning in 2015, and 2 percent in 2016.

Therefore, the 2012 reporting period is the last opportunity providers have to voluntarily participate in PQRS and learn how to report successfully/satisfactorily while incentives are still offered and their Medicare reimbursement is not subject to penalties.

Published 01/30/2012 - 6:36 a.m. CDT

The federal government on Friday refused to let Texas ease a requirement that health insurers devote at least 80 percent of premium revenue to medical care.

Officials of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services said Texas insurance regulators did not convincingly back up their claim that immediate enforcement of the medical-spending minimums would disrupt the state's "individual market."

Published 01/17/2012 - 6:33 a.m. CDT

Health reform will increase the number of uninsured adults with diabetes who will be covered by Medicaid, researchers found. That will expand access and increase the use of healthcare in a population that has many unmet healthcare needs.

In 2010, Medicaid covered about 60 million Americans, and in 2014 that figure will expand by about 16 million as more uninsured patients become eligible for the program as a result of the Affordable Care Act; about a million of these patients will have diabetes.

Published 01/31/2012 - 6:32 a.m. CDT

Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) has demanded that 33 states and the District of Columbia explain what they plan to do about physicians who hand out huge numbers of painkiller and psychiatric drug prescriptions paid for by Medicaid.

Each of the letters said, "I have concerns about the oversight and enforcement of Medicaid abuse in your state. ... the numbers themselves are quite shocking. One ... doctor, for example, had written 18,890 scrips for quetiapine (Seroquel) in 2009 -- 'nearly 73 prescriptions per weekday or nine prescriptions per hour .... [another] physician who had written 2,522 scrips for oxycodone (OxyContin) in 2009, and another with more than 2,800 prescriptions for alprazolam (Xanax)."

Some of Grassley's letters highlighted a single Wyoming doctor who wrote prescriptions for aripiprazole (Abilify) that cost the state nearly $300,000.

TDI-DWC Issues 2012 Audit Plan

TBCE Passes Chiropractic Fee Increase

Published 01/13/2012 - 1:36 p.m. CDT

The TBCE has passed a new fee structure in order to comply with recently passed laws. The currently proposed rule raises fees for initial applications, jurisprudence exams, initial license, and license and facility renewal and reinstatement.

Published 01/13/2012 - 11:57 a.m. CDT

The TBCE would add the definition that "on-call means that the licensee must be available for consultation within 15 minutes either in person or by other means of telecommunication" for the provision of any or all treatment provided under the licensee direction.

What Limits?

Published 12/15/2011 - 9:43 a.m. CDT

Regarding the practice of chiropractic, there are some who are telling us that "...what is in the statute is extremely limiting."

If that is the perspective you wish to look at it then the results of the various court judgments are the results you would expect.

I see the term "condition" in a broader sense.

Published 11/15/2011 - 11:31 a.m. CDT

At this point in the history of mankind, we have been conditioned to abhor symptoms of any kind. Headaches, sneezing, coughing, colds, allergies, pain, infections, hypertension, etc., are no longer tolerated as a part of the process of living. Rather than look into the mechanisms that may be causing these symptoms, we are reaching for the medicine that will suppress them. In so doing, we may feel better, but we now have no motive to look at causes and correct for the issues that may be impairing our health, thus increasing our "need" for more medications over time.

Without the "gold standard" double blind, placebo controlled study there can be no FDA approval of a new drug. So let's look at this approval process more closely.

Published 11/08/2011 - 1:35 p.m. CDT

In years gone by, many children were afflicted with polio, measles, mumps, Rubella, influenza, small pox, diphtheria, whooping cough and others. Of course, the majority of these children recovered without incident (other than polio, which caused permanent nerve damage most of the time), but there were some children who had serious sequelae and even some who died from these diseases. Modern science discovered a way to confer immunity on these children so that they would never become afflicted with these diseases, and for the most part, it has been successful. The question is, at what price?"
