The Economic Benefits Of Healthier Eating: Why Corporations Can Be Natural Allies To Promote Better Diets
Nutrition is at the heart of many of the most important issues in our lives. From nourished children to vibrant aging, from social justice to sustainability, how we eat plays a major role in our health, our culture, and our happiness. Yet, we rarely consider the tremendous economic impact of our food choices. Suboptimal nutrition is the leading cause of poor health in the United States and globally, principally related to chronic diseases such as heart disease, stroke, obesity, diabetes, and several cancers. In many nations, the costs of healthcare dwarf other programs in the national budget. In the United States, nearly ...

Conclusion Once drafted, your plan should be regularly updated to reflect changes in your practice and the practices of the colleagues who have agreed to assist in an emergency. Remember to include contact information for others who may be able to assist your family and/or staff, such as your malpractice carrier and your business attorney. The plan need not be complex, but it must be documented and readily available to anyone who may need to implement it. Your patients, your staff, and your family will thank you for it.

What The Government's Latest Asian-American Health Report Got Wrong
Asian-Americans fare better than the general population on five different measures of health, according to a new national study.  But though it may appear that the "model minority" myth about the 15 million Asians in America extends even to physical and mental health, experts say this finding obscures the truth about vast disparities between Asian subgroups -- and that the study's methodology may have prevented the elderly, immigrants and people who don't speak English from contributing to a more nuanced picture of the health status of Asians in America.  The report, published by the U.S. Center fo...

Overcoming Challenges in the Collection of Patient-Reported Outcomes in an Ambulatory Academic Neurology Clinic (P2.381)
Conclusion: Systematic digital collection of PRO is feasible and informative, and did not interfere with clinic operations. Survey completers differ from non-completers in important ways, and efforts such as multilingual PRO survey tools and additional supports should be implemented to ensure collection from vulnerable patient populations. Further research is warranted to validate these findings.Disclosure: Dr. Moura has nothing to disclose. Dr. Schwamm has nothing to disclose. Dr. Moura has nothing to disclose.

Tricks to Saving Your Teeth and Your Wallet in the End
Dear Nurse Katz, I just graduated and I am trying to stay healthy and avoid going into medical debt. I was thinking about cutting out my dental care, but I have been told that it is just as important than seeing your primary car doctor, but insurance does not seem to cover a lot when it comes to dental care, and every time I go to the dentist, I come out with a huge bill. I want to keep my teeth until I am at least 70. What should I do? Matt Kansas City, MO Good for you for thinking ahead Matt! You should not cut out oral care all together due to the expense. Keep in mind that bad oral care today could potentially lead to ...

Can You Think Yourself Into A Different Person?
For years she had tried to be the perfect wife and mother but now, divorced, with two sons, having gone through another break-up and in despair about her future, she felt as if she’d failed at it all, and she was tired of it. On 6 June 2007 Debbie Hampton, of Greensboro, North Carolina, took an overdose of more than 90 pills – a combination of ten different prescription drugs, some of which she’d stolen from a neighbor’s bedside cabinet. That afternoon, she’d written a note on her computer: “I’ve screwed up this life so bad that there is no place here for me and nothing I can contr...

Older Adult Health in Alabama’s Black Belt Region
Abstract Health issues are a concern in Alabama’s Black Belt region, which runs across the southwestern part of the state and includes some of the poorest counties in the USA. As part of a Center for Disease Control (CDC)-sponsored study, we collected data covering several cancer (e.g., prostate, breast, skin) and other health-related indicators (e.g., stress, insurance, stroke, heart disease) from 647 predominantly African-American adults over the age of 50 in 20 communities in 7 Black Belt counties in 2005 and 2006. Here, we provide an account of the state of the health of older African-Americans and compare ...

Room to breathe for L.A. apartment residents
Public health efforts in California over the last two decades have succeeded in clearing the air of tobacco smoke in workplaces, restaurants, bars and many other public places. But for those who reside in multi-unit apartment complexes, the home is not always a smoke-free zone — even if they want it to be and even if their health suffers as a result. With a $3 million federal grant from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research in the public health school is leading an initiative to change that reality for low-income Latino and African-American families living ...
