New conditions for repayment of lipid lowering, today!
is from 1 June, so today sees the entry into force the new repayment terms of lipid lowering, or at least most of them. For
Inami, these changes are mainly the following: *
assessment by doctors of cardiovascular risk based on the SCORE model in place of the current model Framingham;
* for some patients, the thresholds are lowered based on international recommendations.
This adds the Inami, means that: *
for statins and fibrates with a control a posteriori (Chapter II), only the conditions
for reimbursement category B change;
* for the specialties of acipimox, colestipol, ezetimibe to cholestyramine and with a control "a priori" (Chapter IV), only the conditions for reimbursement Class A and B change.

A strike by pediatricians in a fortnight
Academy of Pediatricians, the Absym and GBS reported that they had filed a notice
strike for June 16 The Absym had already sent a few days ago a letter to the Minister on the discontent, already old, pediatricians. The union stressed that there is a time pediatricians had already marched in the streets of Brussels to draw the attention of Mr. Demotte on a series of problems. But a year later, and Absym pediatricians, are the same experience and noting, in addition, other serious problems such as lack of an acceptable solution for the permanent binding of pediatricians and plans to introduce new law "Vermassen - Lenssens" of 1999, that the pediatrician can no longer ask for additional children admitted to hospital accompanied by a parent who asks for a single room, decided to take action. The Absym concluded by noting that the problem of pediatricians was not the only of its kind in the profession.
index and GERD body mass (NEJM)
There is a relationship between symptoms of GERD and BMI (BMI) as women of normal weight than those who are overweight. Even a moderate weight gain among persons of normal weight may cause or exacerbate symptoms of GERD, Jacobson et al conclude, authors of a study published today in the New England Journal of Medicine ( N Engl J Med 2006; 354: 2340)
(http://content.nejm.org/cgi/content/short/354/22/2340).
The difficult management of the medical population discussed UK
The United Kingdom, which included increased intake of students in the faculties of medicine by 50% during the past six years, he really need more doctors? That is the question which attempted to answer Bloor, Hendry and Maynard in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine (2006; 99: 281).
The authors find that this whole area is marked by poorly controlled subjects and measured the time interval between the fairly substantial expansion of college admissions, medical doctors and the production of fully formed creates uncertainty and risk, increase the number of doctors does not necessarily lead to equitable distribution and efficient work force and increases medical expenses so difficult to reverse.
is why it is difficult to understand the problems of medical demography independently of other public health problems.
How to communicate about the CV risk with patients?
" complex explanations about cholesterol and cardiovascular risk are not sufficient to motivate patients to change behavior. A cardiovascular risk calculator adjusted for age may, cons, push patients to recognize their cardiovascular risk and may be useful for communicating the concept of risk to patients, where at the same time information on reducing risk, "conclude Goldman et al, authors of a study published in the Annals of Family Medicine (Ann Fam Med 2006; 4: 205).
A patient of 42 years, said Robert Goldman, better understand a phrase such as "your heart Framingham score is a man of 70 years" more scientific considerations.
Student Discontent in Iran
The reformist daily Rooz Online says more than 500 items belonging to anti-riot units have besieged the campus of Tehran University and students clashed with insurgents On the one hand, police forces and the Basij of the other. Students want the government is finally moving on the real problems of the country. Among the most popular slogans: "We do not want nuclear energy" and "Forget Palestine - think of us."
A Dutch party for the legalization of pedophilia
A little hard to believe, but the Netherlands, a new party pedophile, NVD (Naastenliefde, Vrijheid in Diversiteit) () is born, says Liberation. Its main objective to push for the legalization of child pornography and sex between adults and children. The Paris daily said that the NVD wants to lower age of consent from 16 to 12 years, then disappear completely. It should be added that if the NVD believes that sexual abuse of animals should be banned sexual contact with animals should be allowed ...
We look forward to the number of votes that will make these dangerous fanatics in the next election.
The Fable of the Day: Doctors
We felt funny for a moment to register change, reproduce here a fable called Physicians: The physician
Both would see a worse-ill
That also was visiting his brother Tant-best.
latter hoped, though his comrade
argued that the lying would see his ancestors. Both
having found different for the cure,
Their ill paid tribute to Nature,
After that his advice had worse long- been believed.
They still triumphed over the disease.
One said: "He is dead, although I had expected.
- if I had thought, "said another, it would be full of life."
