Comparable outcomes for outpatient, inpatient orthopaedic surgeries
Date: Mar-15-2014As the effectiveness of anesthesia, pain management and rehabilitation continues to improve, more orthopaedic procedures are being done on an outpatient basis. In a new research study presented at the 2014 Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS), same-day total joint replacement (TJR) patient outcomes were comparable to those of patients admitted to the hospital and staying at least one night following surgery. However, readmission rates, although statistically "non-significant," were higher for outpatient procedures.
The impact of trauma center closures
Date: Mar-15-2014Injured patients who live near trauma centers that have closed have higher odds of dying once they reach a hospital, according to a new analysis by UC San Francisco researchers.Trauma centers are specially staffed and equipped to provide care to severely injured people. They can be costly to operate and many centers struggle to keep their doors open. During the last two decades, about a third of the nation's 1,125 trauma centers have shut down.The new study, involving more than a quarter of a million patients, analyzed the impact of closures of three centers in California.

The 5-second rule is not an urban myth, say researchers
Date: Mar-15-2014You are just about to eat the last chocolate that you have been saving all day, but as it reaches your mouth, you drop it on the floor. Do you throw it away? Or do you pick it up, give it a quick wipe and eat it? Many of us would refer to the "5-second rule" to justify eating it. Now, new research suggests this urban myth may actually hold scientific fact.The 5-second rule is the theory that if food is retrieved within 5 seconds of being dropped on the floor, it is safe to eat because there has not been enough time for bacteria to contaminate it.
HIV vaccine hope found in immune system of a unique patient
Date: Mar-14-2014The Journal of Clinical Investigation has published a new study of a unique patient with an immune system that produces the types of neutralizing antibodies that are considered essential to an effective HIV vaccine response.The patient has a rare combination of HIV and systemic lupus erythematosus or SLE, a disease where the immune system attacks the body's own cells and tissue.Senior author Barton F.
