GRU launches "area's first" cancer genetics clinic
About five to 10 percent of all cancers can be traced to a hereditary link—but patients with those genes may be five times more likely to develop cancer. Georgia Regents University Cancer Center has launched, what it says is, the area’s first dedicated cancer genetics clinic, so patients can find out if they are at greater risk and work proactively with their physicians to try to reduce that risk. Families who may benefit from genetic testing and counseling include those who are diagnosed with…

Could Too Much TV In Childhood Lead To Antisocial Behavior In Adulthood?
It’s no revelation that violence is everywhere in the media: In TV and video games, it’s practically a given. In fact, according to a new study, on average, TV programs feature about eight violent incidents per hour, and in children’s programming the violence is even more prevalent. Trailers for upcoming shows also condense the violent scenes to give them preference. Past studies have suggested a link between watching violent content and aggressive or violent behavior, though the connection has been somewhat murky – it’s hard to show whether the one actually leads to the other. But the new study goes further in i...

Solving the Primary Care Physician Shortage by Turning PCPs into Anesthesiologists
Are there really too few primary care physicians? And if so, what can we do to solve the PCP shortage? The standard answer to the first question is “yes, we have too few PCPs.” And the standard solution is to train more such docs, or allow more foreign-trained primary care docs into the country or, better yet, simply pay PCPs more money, so that graduating medical students will be more likely to pursue such careers.

The Hidden Costs of Health Entitlements are Growing at Triple the Rate of Health Entitlements
Call me a broken record, but the current spending path created by Obamacare is unsustainable. And it’s even more unsustainable once we take into account the share of interest payments on the national debt that can be attributed to health entitlements. It turns out that even after accounting for growth in the economy, these hidden costs are growing three times faster than health entitlements themselves. Put another way, within 30 years, failure to account for these hidden costs will understate the true burden of health entitlements by more than one quarter.
