Cause of Death? Lack of InsuranceEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Nov. 20, 2009 - The lack of health insurance is associated with nearly 45,000 deaths annually in the United States, the only industrialized nation without universal health care, according to a new study from researchers at Harvard University in Boston. Other studies have found increased mortality rates among the uninsured, as well, even in trauma situations. (Source: NurseZone.com Featured Stories)

(Physicians for a National Health Program) The increased computerization in US hospitals hasn't made them cheaper or more efficient, Harvard researchers say, although it may have modestly improved the quality of care for heart attacks. The findings contradict claims by President Obama and many lawmakers that health information technology, including electronic medical records, will save billions and help make reform affordable. The study uses data from the most extensive survey ever undertaken of hospital computerization. (Source: EurekAlert! - Social and Behavioral Science)

Physiology and pathophysiology at high altitude: considerations for the anesthesiologistEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract Millions of people live in, work in, and travel to areas of high altitude (HA). Skiers, trekkers, and mountaineers reach altitudes of 2500 m to more than 8000 m for recreation, and sudden ascents to high altitude without the benefits of acclimatization are increasingly common. HA significantly affects the human body, especially the cardiovascular and pulmonary systems, because of oxygen deprivation due to decreased ambient barometric pressure. Rapid ascents may lead to high-altitude diseases that sometimes have fatal consequences. Other factors, such as severe cold, dehydration, high winds, and inte...
