dtap immunization for adults :: Article Creator Disease Known To Hospitalize Children Is Continuing To Spread In Michigan More than half of infants who contract pertussis, known as whooping cough, require hospitalization. Once their condition has deteriorated enough to require medical care, there isn't much physicians can do to treat them or speed up recovery. Instead, they offer supportive care, limit spread, and wait for the disease to run its course, said Dr. Francis Darr, a pediatrician in Marquette. "The key, again, is not so much treatment as it is prevention and avoiding infection in the first place," Darr said. Michigan is seeing its highest number of pertussis infections in a decade. As of Dec. 8, the state health department reported more than 1,500 cases, which is more than twice as much as the 596-case average from 2017 through 2019. Public health leaders are urging families to ensure they're up to da...

changing specialties in medicine :: Article Creator Why Congress Should Change How Medicare Pays Physicians The problem began with the Budget Reconciliation Act of 1989, a law designed to keep total payments ... [+] to physicians relatively flat year after year. (Getty) getty In the sweltering heat of 19th-century colonial Delhi, legend has it that cobras were taking over the streets. To eliminate the dangerous snakes, British officials offered a bounty for every dead cobra brought to government offices. Soon, locals began breeding and killing cobras for profit. When British officers caught wind of the scheme, they ended the program immediately. In response, the breeders released their now-worthless snakes back into the streets, turning a problem into a crisis. This tale of unintended consequences, known as the "cobra effect," serves as a stark reminder that well-meaning policies usually backfire disastrously when they fail to...

hands on medical specialties :: Article Creator How AI And New Care Models Make Healthcare Easier, Cheaper, And Better At a first look, orthopedics may seem one of the most hands-on medical specialties. Orthopedic physicians are often physically big people, the better to push and pry when bones and medical devices need to be configured. A visit to one of these doctors frequently involves physicians moving body parts around. Yet it is also an example of how medical care can become far more de-centralized and virtualized. Frequently in medicine, patients flow to a small number of highly-trained specialists who are in short supply relative to demand. These specialists can recommend to patients that their treatment focus on the domain of medicine that the doctor knows best, and so the patients receive a narrow range of options. Health insurance carriers, the employers that sponsor these plans, and patients would all benefit from having a broader s...
