Somerset decision risks Covid care home spread, says UNISON
Commenting on reports that Somerset County Council is to allow staff testing positive with Covid to continue looking after elderly care home residents, UNISON head of social care Gavin Edwards said:
“No one with Covid should be going in to work, and certainly not into workplaces with vulnerable people.
“Only recently, care home staff were being sacked for not having the vaccine. Now those testing positive are being told to carry on caring for elderly people, despite the obvious dangers.
“The families of care home residents will be horrified. The lives of their loved ones are being put at risk in the most reckless ...

Management of human immunodeficiency virus in primary care.
This article presents an overview of current human immunodeficiency (HIV) management for primary care practitioners. Discussion is focused on appropriate screening, antiretroviral treatment, opportunistic infection prophylaxis, laboratory testing and prevention. Improved screening can identify the 20-25% of persons living with HIV in the United States who remain undiagnosed. Expansion of treatment recommendations to include all HIV-infected persons and expanded opportunities for prophylaxis will likely significantly increase the number of persons who receive antiretroviral treatment. Understanding of opportunistic infectio...

Managed care considerations and economic implications of vaccination practices.
Abstract
Influenza is an acute viral respiratory disease caused by the influenza A and B viruses. The epidemiologic characteristics of influenza are in constant flux as the viruses mutate frequently, and the subsequent spread of illness depends on the affected population's susceptibility to the new antigens. These viral mutations necessitate frequent updates to the annual seasonal influenza vaccine. Those most at risk for serious complications of influenza are young children and elderly persons. Although influenza vaccination rates are highest among adults 65 years or older, vaccine effectiveness in this age group...

Medicaid Pay Increase For Hospitalists Confirmed For 2013-2014: ACA Rules We Are Qualified Primary Care Providers.
Are hospitalists going to get a Medicaid pay raise for 2013 and 2014? The answer is yes, hospitalists qualify for Medicaid parity (with Medicare) as required by the Affordable Care Act (ACA). For many states, Medicaid pays physicians and other providers a small fraction of Medicare rates. Legislation signed as part of the ACA mandates Medicaid rates to equal 100% of Part B Medicare rates in calendar year (CY) 2013 and 2014. That means if you haven't already seen increased rates, and you are a qualified physician providing qualfied primary care services, you will get increased Medicaid payments...

Research and Reviews in the Fastlane 052
This study looked at compliance with discharge instructions. Surprisingly (or maybe not so), 39% of pediatric patients returned to play (RTP) on the day of the injury. RTP is widely recognized as a risk for recurrent and more severe concussions as well as significant morbidity. It is the duty of the Emergency Physician to stress the importance of discharge instructions as well as the importance of appropriate follow up.

Rethinking The United States ’ Military Health System
During Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom (2001 – 2014), the United States’ military health system completely transformed its approach to casualty care, achieving the highest rate of survival from battlefield wounds in the history of warfare. It is one of the most remarkable accomplishments in the history of US medicine.
Ironically, the same health care system that worked miracles “down range” in Iraq and Afghanistan faces mounting criticism at home. How can this be? In part, it is because the military health system has two distinctive missions: support combat and humanitarian assistance missions ove...
