		<description><![CDATA[The long awaited New York State 2008 report on hospital-acquired infections was released today at a press conference held at Roosevelt Hospital. The law requiring the report took effect in mid-2006, but the first report issued in 2007 did not by design provide the names of hospitals. The 2007 report did provide aggregate rates for the state by region and type and size of hospital, thus establishing a baseline for trending purposes.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=medicalconsumers.org&amp;blog=7088906&amp;post=2696&amp;subd=medconsumers&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A small, preliminary study published in the journal Pediatrics showed a combination treatment can alleviate symptoms of the painful itchy skin disease called atopic dermatitis, which is the most common of the many forms of eczema. It combines a home remedy—soaking in bath water diluted with laundry bleach—and antibiotics.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=medicalconsumers.org&amp;blog=7088906&amp;post=2094&amp;subd=medconsumers&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“Bladder cancer is among the most prevalent and expensive cancers to treat in the U.S.”  This is the opening line of a new study that looked at how <em>early-stage</em> bladder cancer is treated.  It showed that treatment is all over the lot—from mild and minimally invasive to extreme and mutilating—because no head-to-head comparison study has ever been conducted to identify which is best.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=medicalconsumers.org&amp;blog=7088906&amp;post=2051&amp;subd=medconsumers&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The “more is better” approach to American health care has been challenged consistently over the last 15 years by research compiled by two Dartmouth Medical School physicians. As reported in previous issues of HealthFacts, these researchers have studied the care given to Medicare patients in the last two years of life and shown that more tests, more procedures, more specialist care, more days in the hospital do not lead to a longer life or a better quality of life.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=medicalconsumers.org&amp;blog=7088906&amp;post=1140&amp;subd=medconsumers&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What kills more than five times as many Americans as AIDS? Betsy McCaughey, PhD, chairman and founder of the Committee to Reduce Infection Deaths (RID) wants you to know that it is hospital infections, specifically a bacterium called methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. MRSA infections are far more difficult to treat than ordinary Staph infections because they are resistant to most types of antibiotics.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=medicalconsumers.org&amp;blog=7088906&amp;post=1136&amp;subd=medconsumers&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
