| Insured blacks more likely to use ER
October 9, 2009 at 2:17 pm
|
| | LOS ANGELES, Oct 9, 2009 (UPI via COMTEX) -- African-Americans are more likely than others who are insured to use a hospital emergency room, U.S. researchers say. Despite health maintenance organization emphasis on preventive care 25.4 percent of all privately insured African-Americans enrolled in a Kaiser Permanente plan used the emergency room in the past year in contrast to 14 percent of Asian-American enrollees and 17.5 percent of Latinos, the study says. The study finds African-Americans enrolled in HMOs are far more likely to use an emergency room and to delay getting needed prescription drugs than HMO-insured members of other |

| Lack of defibrillators on Metra trains questioned
October 9, 2009 at 8:48 am
|
| | Oct. 8--The death of a 63-year-old Barrington Hills man from cardiac arrest this morning on a Metra train has raised concerns over the availability of defibrillators in public places. Metra has no defibrillators on board its trains, a spokeswoman said. Whether having one on board the Union Pacific Northwest Line train would have saved the life of the unnamed Barrington Hills man is unclear, officials believe. According to Metra and passengers, Train 610 had just left the Barrington station about 6:30 a.m. when a conductor announced that assistance was needed from any medical personnel on board. Metra crew members notified |

| B vitamin may not reduce heart risk
October 9, 2009 at 7:10 am
|
| | VALENCIA, Venezuela, Oct 9, 2009 (UPI via COMTEX) -- Data do not support the suggestion that taking B-vitamin supplements prevents heart disease, researchers in Venezuela say. Lead researcher Arturo Marti-Carvajal of the Iberoamerican Cochrane Network in Valencia, Venezuela, says it has been suggested that giving B-vitamin supplements could help regulate levels of homocysteine, thereby reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease and death. However, the Cochrane Systematic Review of eight trials involving a total of 24,210 people found no evidence to support the use of B vitamins as supplements for reducing the risk of heart attack, stroke or death associated with |
| Better air linked to fewer ear infections
October 9, 2009 at 7:10 am
|
| | SAN DIEGO, Oct 9, 2009 (UPI via COMTEX) -- Improvements in U.S. air quality during the past 10 years may be a factor in fewer cases of ear infections among children, U.S. researchers said. Dr. Nina L. Shapiro of the University of California, Los Angeles, School of Medicine and colleagues analyzed data from the National Health Interview Survey of 120,060 children from 1997-2006. The researchers measured how many instances occurred in the previous year for three disease conditions -- three or more ear infections in the previous 12 months, respiratory allergy and seizure activity. These numbers were cross-referenced with Environmental | | |
