Smoking Plus Asthma in Pregnancy May Make for ‘Dangerous Situation’

For his part, Dr. Edward McCabe, chief medical officer of the March of Dimes, stressed that his organization continues to adhere to its long-standing position that drinking alcohol during pregnancy can cause permanent harm to the child, and no amount of maternal drinking is safe. “The March of Dimes feels that if you’re pregnant or even thinking about getting pregnant you should not drink alcohol,” he said. “That means no wine, wine coolers, beer or liquor.” “And critically,” McCabe added, “I should point out that after a long build-up where the authors [of the new study] are sort of talking up the myth regarding recommendations that pregnant women not drink, at the end of their article they say, and I quote: ‘It remains unclear whether any safe level of alcohol consumption in pregnancy exists.’ Which means that the final take-home message of this paper is actually do not drink while pregnant.

Nicolette Hodyl said in a university news release. “Asthma and smoking are separately linked during pregnancy to increased risk of bleeding from the birth canal before labor, urinary tract infections , premature rupture of membranes, low birth weight and preterm birth [less than 37 weeks of pregnancy],” she noted. “The combination of asthma and smoking greatly increases the risk of these complications during pregnancy.” Rates of preterm birth were 5.8 percent for women who did not have asthma and did not smoke, 6.5 percent for those with asthma, 9.4 percent for smokers, and 12.7 percent for those who had asthma and also smoked, the study found. “This is an alarming statistic. We hope that pregnant women begin to understand the seriousness of this situation to their health and the health of their child,” Hodyl said. The researchers also found that about one-quarter of pregnant women with asthma are smokers.

Trader Joe’s Sends Part-timers To Obama Health Exchanges

Health Management Seen Succumbing to Lone Bid: Real M&A

Depending on income earned outside of Trader Joes, we believe that with the $500 from Trader Joes and the tax credits available under the ACA, many crew members should be able to obtain health care coverage at very little, if any, net cost, the company said yesterday in its statement. The health-care law mandates that companies provide coverage for those who work more than 30 hours a week or pay a $2,000-per-person penalty. Some large U.S. employers have pulled back on health benefits citing the laws expenses and new insurance options among their reasons. UPS, IBM United Parcel Service Inc. said last month it would end benefits for 15,000 employee spouses who can get health coverage through their own job. International Business Machines Corp.

Excela Health System memo draws scrutiny

16, after Health Management had already agreed to the deal with Community Health, all eight of the hedge funds independent board nominees were elected. Wild Card One reason investors voted in the new board was to see if there was any perspective they could come up with that might be able to drive a better deal with Community Health, Thomas Gallucci, a New York-based analyst at Lazard Capital Markets LLC, said in a phone interview. Theres a big wild card here: Is the new board going to come up with anything? The deal would exchange each Health Management share for $10.50 in cash and 0.06942 of a Community Health share. Investors may receive an additional payment of as much as $1 a share, based on the outcome of certain legal matters. In July, Health Management said it had received subpoenas regarding certain emergency room operations that supplement ones from 2011, as well as a subpoena regarding physician relationships. CBS Corp. (CBS) s 60 Minutes TV show also has aired a segment claiming Health Management pressured its doctors to keep hospital beds filled to boost revenue and profits.

It raises the issue of what is known as ‘economic credentialing’ ” — making staff privilege eligibility decisions for economic reasons rather than based on a physician’s professional qualifications. Excela, he added, is “saying, ‘You only get privileges here if you don’t compete with us.’ ” There is no federal law or overriding legal precedent prohibiting such a policy, Mr. Cassidy said, although a 2009 Arkansas circuit court ruled against a hospital there for its “economic conflict of interest policy.” According to court documents, the Arkansas hospital policy stated that any physician who acquired a financial interest in a competing hospital would lose or be denied admitting privileges. Noting the impact that policy could have on a physician-patient relationship — which the court said “is entitled to exceptional protection” — the court ruled that the policy violated the state’s deceptive trade laws. Mr. Cassidy also cited 28 Pennsylvania Code 107.3, which states that “No applicant shall be denied medical staff privileges …

Hormone Therapy Linked to Higher Breast Cancer Death Risk

Rowan Chlebowski, professor of medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles, and lead author of the study. Women in the study who used estrogen and progestin for five-and-a-half years — which is considered long-term use of the therapy — were at higher risk of getting breast cancer, said Chlebowksi. Earlier results of this trial indicated a connection between synthetic hormone therapy — commonly marketed as as the drug Prempro — and less aggressive forms of breast cancer . But results now suggest that women who took hormones may be at risk of any, including more aggressive and late-stage, forms of breast cancer. null “For women currently on HRT, I think it warrants a significant talk with their physician as to whether they warrant the therapy,” said Dr. Jennifer Litton, assistant professor of breast oncology at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.
