MARCO Grand Rounds for February 19, 2006

From Warren, KD4GUA:

Last week we discussed CV updates. We had 35 check-ins.

This week (Febraury 26) we will discuss, as by request by Willis N5JDT, "Mercury Poisoning." Lee K3WFB has some personal experiences with this problem. We are all eating more fish--how much is safe and should we eat the little fish or the big ones? (more people eat sharks than sharks eat people).Tune in and find out!!!!!

MARCO Grand Rounds for February 8, 2006

From Warren, KD4GUA:

Last week we discussed Lupus.

This week we will discuss the findings at the recent American Heart Association meeting in Orlando. As a follow-up we will offer the over 50 crowd the test now appearing in the Feb. 15 JAMA entitled "Chances of your dying in the next 4 years." The article is on page 801 entitled "Development and Validation of a Prognostic Index for 4-Year Mortality in Older Adults." By taking this test you will determine which CD you will take out next and just how long you need on your car warranty.

It is like taking a pleasure trip-- such as taking your mother-in-law to the airport. The test is optional.

There was a fellow who developed a camera that could take your picture 5 years in the future--would you have yours taken?

MARCO Grand Rounds for February 8, 2006

From Warren, KD4GUA:

Last week we finished with the consensus of health care in the USA in 2010. Incidentally, had interview with a Dutchman who explained the new health system (went into effect Jan. 1, 2006) in the Netherlands where, get this, the government has been all but phased out of the health care business...it is now mandatory that all citizens over 18 have a private basic health care policy with extras available at higher rates. All physcians MUST retire when they are 65. and entry to medical school is via a lottery. Details in next NL

This week we will discuss "LUPUS"--check the article in the FEb. 1 2006 JAMA, using stem cells after ablation rx.
