Affordable Care Act Clean Up Bills Are An Uphill Battle
Friday, April 18, 2014
The Disease Management Care Blog spent the day navigating the halls of Congress. The DMCB discerned a perence for black-toned suits and dresses among many of the staffers, making it think in was either in a "Men In Black" movie or that the depths of D.C.s doldrums worse than even it imagined.As further evidence of the dysfunction, the DMCB was told that the "clean-up" bills that typically follow every major piece of legislation are unlikely to get anywhere anytime soon. The inevitable additions, deletions and clarifications that are usually necessary to align any newly minted U.S. law with its original legislative intent are typically tackled over the following years, but not for the Affordable Care Act. Cleaning up the ACA is being stymied by the Republicans, whose only solution to any problem in the law is to repeal it, as well as the Democrats, who are reluctant to introduce any bill that could open a Pandoras Box of crippling orms. That no-go approach has also spilled onto other unrelated health care legislation.
And speaking of no-go, it also took the DMCB twice as long to get out of downtown DC thanks to traffic that was stuck somewhere between paralyzed and gridlock.
Funeral garb. Legislative brainlock. Automotive immobility. Merely a coincidence? You be the judge.

An interesting story from the Daily Record website today, highlighting research from the Rowett Institute of Nutrition and Health in Aberdeen which suggests that Scots are far too hygenic for their own good.
Speaking in the Record about the findings Dr Denise Kelly of Rowett said:
"We were able to show that environment and early life have a major impact on the type of organisms in your gut when you reach adulthood."Then we looked at how the immune system is functioning and again were able to show there is a very big difference in the immune functions.""The methods we are using are not discriminating, so though we are eliminating harmful pathogens, we are also eradicating a lot of the good organisms."
So, what is your opinion on this research - are we endangering our own and our childrens future health by being too clean?
Clean pacifier by sucking away children from asthma
Monday, April 7, 2014
Cleaning pacifier sucking ways might be considered dirty. Most parents will clean pacifier by washing with tap water. But the researchers found that older people who clean pacifier to suck can keep children from the risk of asthma and hives.
This study does not prove that the technique may protect children from asthma or allergies. However, researchers believe that the possibility of transfer of oral bacteria and microbes of parents in children can boost the immune system and the digestive system which in turn makes the child they are exposed to a small risk of allergy or asthma.
"We know that bacteria are also important for growing children," said Dr. Wilfried Karmaus from the University of Memphis, as reported by Reuters.
In this research, scientists recruited pregnant women in one of the Swedish hospitals and followed them for three years. Of the 184 infants who were observed, 80 percent have parents with allergies. After the babies were tested at the age of 18 and 36 months.
In the first test 46 infants have eczema and 10 had symptoms of asthma. Children who use the usual dot cleaned by his mother smoked by 63 percent less likely to have eczema and 88 percent less affected by asthma.
While in the second test, when the baby was 36 months, the difference for asthma began to disappear, while babies with pacifiers are cleaned by his mother smoked still have a 49 percent lower risk of developing eczema.
Researchers believe that more research must be done to demonstrate clearly the benefits of cleaning with megisapnya dot. Before clear, researchers would not recommend this technique for the parents.
