Researchers sought to compare bacterial and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus contamination of physicians’ white coats to freshly laundered short-sleeved uniforms, and to determine the rate at which bacterial contamination happens. They reported results in the Journal of Hospital Medicine. ACP Internist‘s blog recently took up the debate as well. The issue has cropped up over the years, assessing not only the cleanliness but the professionalism inherent in the white lab coat. Researchers conducted a prospective, randomized, controlled trial among 100 residents and h...

CannonAccording to the Denver Business Journal: A spokeswoman for Aetna confirmed Monday that the insurer will no longer sell new individual-market health insurance policies in Colorado and will terminate current policies held by state residents no later than July 31, 2012. Aetna had already announced that it will no longer sell child-only coverage or small-group coverage in the state.   Colorado is one of 34 states where insurers fled the market for child-only coverage as a result of ObamaCare.  Colorado took steps to try to stabilize its child-only market, and is considering requiring insurers to sell child-only coverage as a condition of selling coverage directly to adults. Aetna isn’t commenting on whether ObamaCare played a role in its decision.   Aetna customer...

It takes a journey back home for us to encounter snow. The fluffy snow in the driveway makes me cold by default, even though the house is at its usual comfortable temperature. The animals were overjoyed to see us: Sophie almost exploded with barking and excitement. Satchel meowed enough to get me to finally give him some food, even though I told him that it was not Cat Snack Time. His training is strong: every time a human enters the house through the front door, Satchel is supposed to get fed. He has no problem with any of the internal logic, or external logic, of this.

As I’ve said before, it’s one of the most heated debates you can have in the EMR space. I realized in the comments of that post why it’s such a heated topic. It’s because once an EMR software chooses to go down one path or the other, it’s nearly impossible to be able to switch paths. Why? Cause if you do choose to switch you basically have to just code a new application all over. Basically, the switching costs are enormous. So, only a few software companies (let alone EMR software companies) ever change from one to the other. Considering the high switching costs, that basically means th...

When I learned that in medical school almost 40 years ago, I have not touched a salt shaker since. I enjoy having a low normal blood pressure. A new study published in the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology (July 2010) suggests that sugar, especially the fructose that comes from corn syrup, may also raise blood pressure. A study team from the University of Colorado in Denver looked at sugar intake among thousands of Americans in a major national nutrition survey between 2003 and 2006. Those who consumed more added sugars, such as the fructose in soft drinks, had significantly higher blood pressures than those who did not and ate more natural foods such as fresh fruit. Fructose from corn syrup is a major cause of the...

We have in the last two months started six cases, and we’re very excited about the results. Patients are excited, too. Even though the system uses conventional orthodontic wires and brackets, because they are tooth colored, adults patients accept it because they aren’t obvious and offer treatment time that’s less than a year. I took the 6 Month Smiles course by Dr. Ryan Swain from NY. The two-day course was perfect for my assistants and me, and it was right here in Denver. Between the flash drive information that I came home with and the course itself, I had everything necessary to get started. One thing that helped us get up and running fast is that we had Invisalign certification, so we were updated on recent o... dental blog for dentists about dentistry blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3096969 Thu, 17 Dec 2009 14:24:06 +0100 3096969 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3075480&cid=t_103092_87_f&fid=36438&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeedproxy.google.com%2F%7Er%2FCato-at-liberty%2F%7E3%2F8nLJSsxGUDg%2F By Jim HarperIf you have a job, a panel convened by the University of Denver thinks you should have a national ID card. DU’s “Report of the Strategic Issues Panel on Immigration” says: The idea of a national card for identifying citizens and non-citizens has become the third rail of immigration politics. But in truth, without a means of positive identification, it makes very little difference what immigration policies are adopted because they can’t be effectively enforced. A means of positive identification is essential to prevent the employment of illegal immigrants. Only the panel’s narrow framing leads to this conclusion. Restrictive immigration policies may require a national ID and federal background check system because such policies are so at odds with em...

I know this is going to be hard to believe but Judge Lombard is lost again. On Sunday, I wrote this incredible story--A Las Vegas Man with Alzheimer's Found Wandering Around Denver (Twice). Judge Lombard started his trip in Las Vegas. His final destination was Detroit. When the bus he was on stopped in Denver, he got off and started wandering around. The first time he got lost and then found, a social worker put him in a cab and sent him back to the bus station. What do you think happened? He started wandering around Denver again. Lost for a second time, he was finally found after eleven days of wandering around the streets of Denver. When they found Judge Lombard, he was dehydrated and starving. After feedi...

A marriage breakdown is one of the most stressful life events possible, yet more than one in three will experience the trauma of divorce. Not surprisingly, the dynamics of relationships are increasingly the focus of ever more research. The University of Denver Center for Marital and Family Studies in particular is constantly shedding new light on the institution of marriage with recent research findings establishing that the quality of...

In fact, most large scale, well controlled studies have failed to demonstrate that there is a clear link between autism and abuse. [my emphasis]It is important to recognize that the failure to find something does not mean that it doesn’t exist and there are a number of technical reasons that could obscure the link between autism and child abuse. However, for now, it is correct to say that the link between disability and abuse has been more clearly demonstrated for other disabilities. All things considered, as a researcher, I think that there is probably about the same link that exists between a number of other...
