Geriatrician Care Guards Against Risk of Inappropriate Meds
FRIDAY, Jan. 25 (HealthDay News) -- Elderly Americans taking prescription medications face a lower risk for being given an inappropriate drug or dosage if they receive care from a geriatrician, new research reveals. The finding is based on a large, national review of mostly male veterans who sought care at VA facilities across the United States. The analysis indicates that roughly one in four vets were inappropriately prescribed medications, while those few who had visited with a geriatrician in the past year had reduced exposure to such critical mistakes. "Geriatric care seems to help protect patients who are receiving prescription medications," said study author Mary Jo V. Pugh, a research health scientist with the South Texas Veterans Health Care System, and an assistant professor at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio.
Utahns' top issue is U.S. economy
The future of the economy is of utmost concern to Utah Republicans and Democrats. A Deseret Morning News poll conducted by Dan Jones & Associates shows that 51 percent of Republicans and 45 percent of Democrats who planned to vote in the primary election last week believe the economy is the No. 1 concern facing a new president of the United States. The war in Iraq was ranked No. 2 in importance to both parties, while national security issues and terrorism ranked third among Republicans polled and health care ranked third among Democrats. None of the 317 Republican voters polled ranked the environment, taxes or global warming as a concern facing the next American president. Only 1 percent of the 288 Democrats polled said they believed global warming, energy/oil issues, the budget deficit, environment and immigration were the most important national issue.
Loblaw tries to weed out bad apples
An array of witty and intellectual comments. Thank you all.
Kim Huynh, I am sorry but your comment about Walmart is hilarious! Have you been reading the news recently? Walmart (although making money still) has been struggling. They have lousy relationships with most suppliers, facing cost increases and have always had a reputation for treating staff poorly.
You want to send Loblaws management somewhere? Send them to Lowes, Target or Costco to learn a few things. Posted 19/02/08 at 12:40 PM EST | Alert an Editor | Link to Comment .
Ailing retirees aren't only ones shortchanged

Xbox 360 team skipped quality testing of console to beat Sony to ...
Last summer, amidst a flurry of reports from Xbox 360 gamers, DailyTech exposed retailers' estimates that up to one-third of Xbox 360 consoles experience hardware failures within the first year of ownership. Just days after the report, Microsoft extended its warranty to cover the specific hardware failure for three years from purchase. Now, six months later, a supposed Microsoft insider confirms that around 30% of Xbox 360 consoles, most based on the original 'Xenon' design, fail. "It's around 30 percent, and all will probably fail early," the source told 8Bit Joystick. "This quarter they are expecting 1M failures, most of those Xenons. Some of those are repeat failures." Although Microsoft now covers all Xbox 360 consoles for three years against the Red Ring of Death (RROD) – the sign of a hardware failure – there is no specific time frame for the defect to appear.
He Put In His Thumb And Pulled Out A Blum
Well, anabolic steroids (even before it was against MLB rules to used them, instituted in 2005.) And Growth Hormone, let's not forget that evil drug, which turns Mario Mendozas into Barry Lamar Himself. Between finally indicting Barry Lamar, the only ballplayer who ever did steroids or HGH (so they say), the epitome of everything that is wrong with baseball (except for Scott Boras, who commits the unspeakable act of trying to fulfill his clients wishes of getting the biggest contract/endorsements they possibly can.) You don't see anyone heaping the kinds of invective and abuse upon roids users who have actually been caught with positive tests such as Ryan Franklin and JC Romero, do you? Why am I mentioning all this? For the simple reason that the owners have FINALLY figured out how to make the ballplayers look bad to the public so they can get away with paying them less and keeping more of the profit for themselves while continuing to raise ticket prices.
