Despite advances in cancer treatment, patients still die with unnecessary suffering. Therefore, high-quality end-of-life care is needed. Variations in medication use at the end of life may suggest areas for improvement. This study aims to describe the use of medications during the last days of life of cancer patients and to explore the possibility of using it as a quality measure.
We conducted an international survey on experts' opinions regarding potentially inappropriate medications for dying patients. Subsequently, a chart review of deceased cancer patients was conducted, which assessed the current medication use in different settings.
The mean number of medications used in the last 3 days of life was 4.8 (SD 2.1). Hospital patients were less likely than hospice patients to receive opioids, midazolam, haloperidol, and drugs for pulmonary secretions or nausea/vomiting. Over 90 % of experts rated 12 medications as unlikely to be appropriate. Hospital patients were more likely than hospice patients to receive these potentially inappropriate medications. Before the implementation of an end-of-life care pathway, hospital patients had a higher probability, than after, to receive potentially inappropriate medication. Moreover, after implementation of such pathway, patients for whom a pathway was not used were more likely to receive potentially inappropriate medications than patients for whom it was used.
Medication use at the end of life varies widely by setting, both for potentially appropriate and inappropriate medications. Combining experts' opinion and current medication use resulted in the identification of 16 medications that might be used to assess the quality of cancer care at the end of life.

Genre: Historical Romance
Jake Delaney is in Scotland looking for the missing copy of Texas Declaration of Independence and running from his mothers matchmaking schemes. His pregnant hostess, Flora Dunbar, is an enigma to him. He cannot reconcile the fact that sometimes he is attracted to her and at other times he is not.
Jake does not know that Flora has an identical twin sister, Gillian Ross, who is practicing her haunting on Jake. The first time Jake sees Gillian she is the headless white lady of Rowenclare. Jake knows that what he saw was a flesh-and-blood woman, even though he cant explain her ghostly appearance. Then Gillian drugs him, discovers why he is in Scotland and kicks him out of the castle.
Jake is determined to fulfill his mission. He sneaks back into the castle and manages to convince the family to give him the declaration in exchange for acting like a ghost for Lord Harrington, who is intent
Gillian becomes Jakes teacher, schooling him on how to be a ghost and things begin to sizzle until he botches his job. All he really wants is to win her heart which now means that Jake has to get rid of Gillians ex-betrothed, buy the castle and overcome Gillians doubts about his staying in Scotland.
SIZZLE ALL DAY, a spin-off of Simmer All Night, has Geralyn Dawsons trademark humor displayed by her headstrong characters and their laugh-out-loud escapades. Tenderness abounds and is shown in the way Ms. Dawson deals with the secondary characters, from Gillians little sister to her aging uncle (and especially Jakes crippled dachshund), and lets them steal your heart.

By 2001, Mr. Nino's cholesterol had surged past 200 mg/dL considered borderline high risk and his weight ballooned to 270 pounds on his 5-foot, 10-inch frame.
"I was goloso in how I ate," says Mr. Nino, a former president of the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and current head of consulting firm El Nino Group. "But I really enjoyed it."
Mr. Nino, whose mother also had high cholesterol, was putting his health at risk. Medical experts point to lifestyles with diets rich in meat and starch-based dishes and low on exercise coupled with hereditary propensities as a primary cause of heart disease. In fact, cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death for Hispanics. In addition, Mexican-American women are at a higher risk for cardiovascular disease than non-Hispanic white women, according to the American Heart Association.
The association estimates that nearly 30 percent of Mexican-American adults have cardiovascular disease, which refers to all conditions involving the heart, blood vessels, and arteries including stroke. High cholesterol and blood pressure are risk factors for heart disease. By eliminating these risks, adults can lower their chance of heart disease, medical experts say.
Yet more than 50 percent of Mexican-American men and nearly 45 percent of women have total blood cholesterol levels of 200 mg/dL or higher. Levels of 200 to 239 are considered borderline high risk, while 240 mg/dL or greater is considered high risk, according to the association.
The data for hypertension is also significant. Among Mexican Americans age 20 or older, nearly 30 percent have high blood pressure.
"All of these diseases can be controlled by a good diet and more exercise and a better lifestyle," says Dr. Rene Rodríguez, president of the Interamerican College of Physicians and Surgeons.
Complicating the issue for Hispanic executives also may be a drive to succeed that can put their health at risk. Medical experts note that Hispanic executives may feel they have to go the extra mile to achieve goals, pursuing their careers during the day and then attending receptions and networking events on the side. This leaves little time for exercise or relaxation.
"You get sucked into 'what is good for my career' rather than 'what is good for me,' " says Dr. Elena Rios, president and CEO of the National Hispanic Medical Association.
Such stress, combined with a lack of physical activity, could account for the rise in high blood pressure among Mexican Americans, medical experts say. While the incidence of high blood pressure has dropped since the 1970s for the non-Hispanic white population, it has increased for Mexican Americans, many health professionals note.
Medical experts recommend exercise as a way to keep cholesterol, obesity, and high blood pressure in check, but many Hispanics appear not to be taking notice. More than 50 percent of men and nearly 60 percent of women age 18 or older do not take part in leisure-time physical activity, according to the heart association.
"Latinos tend to … exercise less and they do not follow a good meal plan," says Dr. Enrique Caballero, director of the Joslin Latino Diabetes Initiative at Harvard Medical School. And, adds Dr. Frank Meza, physician in charge at Kaiser's East Los Angeles offices, many executives fail to make exercise a priority. "I tell them they'll have time once they have cholesterol and a stroke," Dr. Meza says.
For Mr. Nino, the consequences of his lifestyle weren't quite so dramatic: He had no outward physical symptoms when he was diagnosed with high cholesterol four years ago. Such a situation is typical, experts say, noting that hypertension and elevated cholesterol levels often go undiagnosed because they do not present strong warning signs until it's too late.
To treat Mr. Nino's high cholesterol, doctors prescribed Lipitor. But he didn't like the side effects, which included shakiness. On the advice of a friend, Mr. Nino decided to change his lifestyle and diet. He began working out three times a week on a NordicTrack and walking whenever he could.
Ultimately, exercise and diet must be combined, says Kaiser's Dr. Meza. He recommends diets low in animal fat and high in fruits and vegetables. Individuals also should work out, putting in 45 minutes of aerobic exercise like walking or running each day. "I have a rule of thumb," Dr. Meza says. "If you don't have time to work out today, then you don't have time to eat."
Mr. Nino also altered his eating habits. He cut down on red meat and began eating fruits and vegetables every day, including a daily grapefruit and oatmeal two to three times a week. Now, at age 48, the changes have helped Mr. Nino's cholesterol level fall to less than 200 mg/dL. He also has dropped 40 pounds.
Moderation, Mr. Nino says, is the key to maintaining good health. "You just watch yourself," he says. "You can eat barbacoa. But you don't have to have 10 tacos. Instead, you have one or two."

text: The It Only Hurts When I Sing wiki last edited by comicguy2 on 08/01/13 02:33PM View full history The Generation Next team have infiltrated Seattle Core on a mission to find and extract the mutant sister of Colossus, Illyana Rasputin. Husk and Vincente are disguised as Quietus, the foreman of Seattle Core, Skin and Chamber are disguised as guards and Mondo is traveling underground to the child labor camp. Skin and Chamber witness a guard indiscriminately kill a child's father for simply offering his daughter some food. Skin has to pull Chamber back or risk them both revealing their identity and blowing cover. Mondo, also a witness, cannot hold back and destroys the balcony the guard was posted at and he falls to his death. Meanwhile, Husk and Vincente have reached Quietus' office and are skillfully keeping up the appearance that they are the administrator of the facility. Sugar Man pays Quietus a visit, and Husk believing their disguise will be seen through cleverly hides in the shower to hide the "stench" that Sugar Man would smell through to reveal their true identities. According to Sugar Man, Apocalypse has gained intel on an X-Men led mission to break into the core and wanted to discuss this with Quietus. Colossus and Shadowcat are poised to phase down into the underground mining facitlity and complete the final phase of the mission. Know-it-all, M counter version, contacts Kitty and Colossus to provide an update on the teams progress and warns them that Skin, Husk, Chamber and Vincente have all been cornered underground. Sugar Man has been told by one of the guards that Chamber and Skin are not security but infiltrators. Sugar Man demands Quietus execute them in front of everyone. Mondo, now 6 miles underground, saves a falling Ace before finding Illyana.

The Irish medical device maker
Covidien plc
) revealed that it has completed the sale of its Confluent
Surgical product line to Integra LifeSciences Corporation for
roughly $235 million in cash. However, shares of the company fell
2.5% since the announcement reflecting lack of enthusiasm among
the investors regarding the news.
The Confluent Surgical product line comprises soft tissue repair
division of COV's Medical Devices segment, which generated about
$65 million in sales in fiscal 2012. It includes product brands
such as DuraSeal, DuraSeal Exact/Xact, VascuSeal, and
As part of the deal, Covidien will also receive up to $30
million, based on the achievement of certain performance
milestones related to the transition of the Confluent Surgical
product line to Integra. With the sale, COV intends to focus on
its global strategic plans.
Although Covidien expects the transaction to be dilutive to
fiscal 2014 earnings per share, the company believes the
underlying strength of its businesses will be able to offset the
dilution. Consequently, COV believes that the sale of Confluent
Surgical product line will not have any material impact on its
guidance for fiscal 2014.
Covidien, a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) stock, posted adjusted earnings
per share from continuing operations of 91 cents for the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2013, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate
by a penny. Adjusted earnings also increased 6% from 86 cents
reported in the prior-year quarter, despite headwinds from
foreign exchange movements, the medical device excise tax and
escalated investments in emerging markets.
For fiscal 2013, COV's adjusted earnings per share from
continuing operations increased 3% to $3.72, beating the Zacks
Consensus Estimate by a penny. However, net income declined 2% to
$1,600 million (or $3.40 a share) from $1,637 million (or $3.37
per share) a year ago.
Revenues in the fourth quarter grew 2% (up 5% in constant
currency) to $2,560 million, almost in line with the Zacks
Consensus Estimate of $2,561 million. On a geographic basis,
revenues in the U.S. market decreased 2% to $1,295 million. On
the other hand, international revenues climbed 8% (13% in
constant currency) to $1,265 million, driven by emerging market
For fiscal 2013, revenues grew 4% to $10,235 million, roughly in
line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $10,238 million. On
constant currency basis, revenues increased 6%.
For fiscal 2014, Covidien expects revenues to grow 2-5% year over
year at constant exchange rate (CER). Revenues for the core
Medical Devices segment is anticipated to grow in the range of
2-5%, while the same for the smaller Medical Supplies business is
likely to remain flat in the fiscal year.
Moving ahead, adjusted operating margin is likely to remain in
the band of 21.5-22.5% and effective tax rate in the range of
16.0-17.0%. Moreover, COV is aiming a dividend payout ratio in
excess of 35% over time and is targeting to achieve a ratio of at
least 30% within the next 12 months.
Some other players in the medical products sector include
NuVasive, Inc.
Advaxis, Inc.
) and
Cardiovascular Systems Inc.
). NuVasive carries a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), while
both Advaxis and Cardiovascular Systems carry a Zacks Rank #2

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
More family doctors to help ease pressure on hospitals
The province is training more family doctors as part of a series of measures designed to ease pressure on clogged hospital emergency rooms over the next five years.
Premier Greg Selinger led a delegation of MLAs and senior health-care officials Wednesday in the announcement to jump-start the health-care system.
The goal is to ensure patients not only have doctors to see, but they'll been seen by a doctor or a nurse practitioner within 48 hours of calling for an appointment, Selinger said at QuickCare Clinic, a North End medical clinic.
"We're here to talk about the progress we've made to make a family doctor available to every family," the premier said.
The promise was a major plank in the NDP's platform in last fall's election campaign, Selinger said.
Adding more training positions for doctors is a key to making good on the promise, he said.
"That will make a big difference and that will allow more people to be seen faster," the premier said.
The province plans to train more doctors by funding 14 additional family medicine residencies and is adding three training positions for nurse practitioners this fall. These professionals can prescribe some prescriptions and provide basic services.
The province is also signing up more doctors with private practices to take part in networks with other health-care professionals, making referrals at lot easier on patients by centralizing how their care is co-ordinated.
As of 2010, there were 180,000 people in Manitoba without family doctors, and even people with a family physician had to wait weeks for an appointment.
One Winnipeg woman who was in that position said the new system works better for her and her family.
Leslie Orlikow, 63, said she was initially hesitant when her family doctor closed his private practice three years ago and joined a network with a nurse practitioners and other health-care professionals.
But it has worked out fine, she said.
"You know what? It's like a godsend," she said. "I go to the Access Centre on Corydon and Harrow. You can call on a Monday or a Tuesday and you're seen within a day or two. You might not see your doctor, but you do see a nurse practitioner. It's worked beautifully."
Some 21 new or expanded primary care clinics are also under construction or on the drawing board to be open over the next three years.
Then there are incentives negotiated last year with the Manitoba Medical Association that have attracted 380 doctors willing to offer chronic-care services to some 34,000 Manitoba patients.
The initiatives announced Wednesday will cost the system $5.7 million this year, according to provincial figures.
There are now more than 100 residencies for doctors in Manitoba every year. Family practice is a two-year program, after medical school, meaning the first of the new doctors will hang out shingles in 2014.
The dean of family medicine at the University of Manitoba medical school applauded training for family doctors.
"This is something that is very much needed," Dr. Jamie Boyd said. "It will make a significant difference in how we can provide all the things the premier has mentioned."
The province currently spends $5 billion a year on health care in Manitoba.

The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, has backed Cardinal-designate Vincent Nichols in his row with the Prime Minister over welfare cuts.
"I am entirely with him," Archbishop Welby told The Tablet during a press conference at Lambeth Palace yesterday morning.
He added that the Church of England was well placed to judge the impact of welfare cuts because it connected with people on the ground through its priests and churches.
Yesterday the Daily Mirror published a letter from 27 Church of England bishops – almost half the total – as well as Methodist, United Reform Church and and Quaker leaders, denouncing the cuts and warning that they had created "a national crisis".
The Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg, responded almost immediately, telling a food bank volunteer who called in to the London-based radio station LBC 97.3FM that the Cardinal-designate's comments were "an exaggeration".
In addition, the Prime Minister David Cameron was accused of misquoting welfare statistics in an article he wrote for the Daily Telegraph yesterday refuting Cardinal-designate Nichols' comments and claiming that the Government's welfare reform was part of a "moral mission" that would give "new hope".
But Paul Morrison, author of The lies we tell ourselves: ending comfortable myths about poverty, a 2013 report commissioned by the Baptist Union of Great Britain, the Church of Scotland, the Methodist Church and the United Reformed Church, criticised the Prime Minister for misunderstanding welfare statistics.
Mr Morrison said that while the Prime Minister said almost a million and a half people spent the last decade out of work, all bar 1,000 of those were sick or carers. And of those people claiming "unlimited amounts of housing benefit", in 2010 only 0.01 per cent of households received more than £40,000 in housing benefit and more than half of housing benefit claims were for less than £4,000.
"The key question – why Churches and charities are seeing more people in abject destitution – remains unanswered," Mr Morrison said.
In his Telegraph article Mr Cameron wrote: "Our welfare reforms go beyond that alone: they are about giving new purpose, new opportunity, new hope – and yes, new responsibility to people who had previously been written off with no chance.
"Seeing these reforms through is at the heart of our long-term economic plan – and it is at the heart, too, of our social and moral mission in politics today."
But in the interview the archbishop gave to Saturday's Telegraph, Cardinal-designate Nichols said the basic safety net that was there to guarantee that people would not be left in hunger or in destitution had been "torn apart", often leaving people with nothing for days if they failed to fill a form in correctly.
