Family Separation Is Trump’s Immigration Policy.
Here’s Why He Won’t Own It

President Trump and administration officials are walking a fine line on family separation at the border.

*

They argue they don’t like the policy, but that their hands are tied and instead are pointing fingers at Congress to “fix” it.

*

There may be good reason for that the policy (and it is a Trump administration policy, despite the Homeland Security secretary’s claims to the contrary) is unpopular.

*

The president on Tuesday called on Congress to come up with a “third option”: for the legal authority to detain and promptly remove families together as a unit. This is similar to a practice used during the Obama administration, when some families were detained together. That, too, was criticized, but it is emerging now as a preferred alternative.

*

Some immigrants under Presidents Obama and George W. Bush were released while they awaited adjudication, but that approach is one Trump and conservative critics chafe at, calling it “catch and release.” Trump White House officials say that’s not an option this president wants to consider since their stated policy is “zero tolerance” for people who cross the border illegally.

*

A hard line on immigration was a fundamental ideological underpinning of Trump’s candidacy. Now, the country is seeing the practical implementation of that ideology, especially after a year in which little got done legislatively on immigration. Trump, though, appears to be looking for a way out of the bad optics and bad politics without looking like he’s compromising his principles.

*

Putting Republicans in a jam

*

The president huddled with House Republicans Tuesday afternoon. They’re considering several bills, but the strings attached, as always, will be what determines if they pass. Hard-liners and the Trump administration want to see what they can get on the president’s other immigration priorities. But there’s only so much moderates and Democrats are willing to give on this.

*

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said he wants a narrow bill that deals strictly with family separation.

*

“In order to fix this problem you can’t fix all the problems,” he told reporters. “We’ve wrestled with this issue for a decade.”

*

The reality is, you don’t need to look very far to see which way the wind is blowing on this issue. Not only is the president declining to take full ownership of the policy, but Democrats see no political reason to capitulate, and that leaves moderate Republicans feeling the most heat. Congressional Republicans, especially those in vulnerable House districts, are the ones who most want this issue off the table quickly.

*

That’s why Ohio Rep. Steve Stivers, head of the National Republican Congressional Committee, came out against the policy. He encouraged the Trump administration to “stop needlessly separating children from their parents,” he said in a statement on his Facebook page. “If the policy is not changed, I will support other means to stop unnecessary separation of children from their parents.”

Stivers Statement on Updated Immigration Executive Order

.

Washington, March 6, 2017 | 0 comments

.

My first priority is the safety of the United States, and I am glad this order seeks to better coordinate with agencies to determine if we are receiving enough information from other countries to effectively vet those who are attempting to come into the United States. I continue to support a more permanent solution to our visa vetting process that also ensures we differentiate between our partners in the region and radical Islamic terrorists.”

The following statement can be attributed to Congressman Steve Stivers (R-OH) regarding the updated immigration executive order:

AMY GOODMAN: As outrage is mounting over the Trump administrations practice of separating immigrant children from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border as part of the crackdown against immigrants and asylum seekers, the Associate Press reporting nearly 2,000 children have been separated from their parents since April 19th, The New York Times reporting some parents have been deported without their children and with no information about how the family will be reunited, were going to look now at Southwest Key, the nonprofit that operates 27 facilities in California, Arizona and Texas, including the Brownsville facility that holds 1,500 children, that Senator Merkley was previously denied entry to.

.

Were going to Tucson, Arizona, to speak with a whistleblower, a youth care worker who quit the Tucson detention center for unaccompanied minors, run by the nonprofit Southwest Key Programs, which also runs the Brownsville facility and the proposed baby jail in Houston, 27 facilities in all. Antar Davidson quit after, he says, Southwest Key forced him to tell children who were separated from their mother and from their siblings not to hug.

Antar Davidson, welcome to Democracy Now! Can you talk about why you quit your job last week?

.

ANTAR DAVIDSON: Sure, definitely. Thank you, first and foremost, Amy, for having me on the show. I just want to clarify a little bit the timeline of events. That first night, when they told me not to hug, that prompted me to seek change internally. I reached out to a regional director, who assured me that shethe next morning, she assured me that things would change, things would be different.

.

Four more Brazilians came. I found it extremely difficult. I tried to help, through the organization. I tried to talk to people. And despite being a Brazilian citizen and having had professional translation work, they did not allow me to help. They really were blocking me at every turn.

.

I thenI then requested a leave, a time off, a week off, to process what I had gone through. And prior to that, the CEO, Dr. Juan Schez, made his rounds and began asking for money. And after they denied my leave request, it was then that I made theI put in my resignation as a conscientious objector. So, just to add

.

AMY GOODMAN: I dont understand what you said, Antar.

.

ANTAR DAVIDSON: Just addingyeah.

.

AMY GOODMAN: You said he was asking for money?

.

ANTAR DAVIDSON: Yes. So, hebasically, they called mandatory meetings at our facility, three different mandatory meetings. And he initially said that theyre goingthey need 500 more people. Theyre going to drop the ratio from one-to-five to one-to-three for the tender age kids, so that refers to the direct care ratios, so that they would have more staff to take care of those younger kids. Five hundred kids500 new employees, he said we needed.

.

He told then a sob story about a minor who had come into a facility with very thick acne and how he felt so bad. Despite making a million dollars-plus, between him and his wife, in federal tax dollars, he said that he felt so bad that he couldnt do anything for this child with acne, and then he proceeded to basically present this employee giving program, where employees and staff were urged to give $10 of every paycheck or a one-time contribution of $240. He then had a second speaker kind of reinforce the policy, while passing around papers for people to sign away their checks. And so, yeah, I just definitely want to clarify that despite, of course, the acute problems of the zero tolerance policy, but also we shouldnt let this CEO off the hook, whos been making a million dollars-plus for the past five years, off the detention of children, of vulnerable immigrant children.

Nassar-MSU Scandal Puts Professional Licenses of 7 Under Scrutiny

Updated Jun 14, 12:30 PM; Posted Jun 14, 12:30 PM

.

Seven current and former health-care providers at Michigan State University are under investigation by the state Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs for their actions related to Larry Nassar, the former MSU doctor who molested patients.

.

The seven — four physicians, two athletic trainers and a clinical psychologist — have been identified by Nassar victims as people alerted over the years about Nassar’s misconduct.

.

Dr. William Strampel, an osteopathic physician who also was dean of MSU’s College of Osteopathic Medicine and Nassar’s former boss. Strampel is now facing criminal charges for failing to enforce rules set specifically for Nassar, including having a chaperone in the room during exams involving “sensitive areas” and getting patient permission before examining or treating those areas.

.

Dr. Jeffrey Kovan, a osteopathic physician at MSU’s Sports Medicine Clinic. Kovan was the initial recipient of a complaint by Amanda Thomashow that she was molested by Nassar during a March 2014 appointment at the clinic. Kovan notified his supervisors of the complaint, although Thomashow told MSU Police she felt Kovan wasn’t taking it seriously, according to a police report.

.

Dr. Douglas Dietzel, an osteopathic physician who supervised the MSU Sports Medical Clinic at the time of the 2014 complaint. An investigation by MSU’s Title IX office cleared Nassar in that incident.

.

Dr. Brooke Lemmen, a former osteopathic physician at the Sports Medicine Clinic. She resigned in 2017 after Strampel reprimanded her for not telling MSU officials that she was aware Nassar stopped volunteering as a team doctor for USA Gymnastics in 2015 because of allegations of sexual misconduct. After Nassar was fired by MSU in 2016 and at his direction, Lemmen also removed boxes of documents from his office, according to a police report.

.

Dr. Gary Stollak, a retired MSU clinic psychologist. One of Nassar’s early victims, Kyle Stephens, says that in 2004 when she was age 12, she told Stollak that she had been abused by Nassar over a six-year period. Instead of contacting authorities, she says, Stollak arranged a meeting between Nassar and her parents. Nassar denied the allegations and the parents forced Stephens to apologize. Stollak, who retired in 2010, has said he does not remember the Stephens case and he destroyed his patient records when he retired.

.

Destiny Teachnor-Hauk, a MSU athletic trainer. Tiffany Thomas Lopez, a former MSU softball players who says she was molested by Nassar during treatments for sports injuries in 1999 and 2000, said she complained to Teachnor-Hauk that Nassar’s treatments seemed inappropriate.

.

Lianna Hadden, a MSU athletic trainer. Lopez said she also complained to Hadden about Nassar’s treatments. Jennifer Rood Bedford, a former MSU volleyball player, says she told Hadden in 2003 that she was uncomfortable about Nassar’s treatments, although Bedford said she was not specific about her complaint.

.

MSU colleagues initially defended Nassar, police investigation shows

.

LARA does not comment on pending investigations, said LARA spokesman Pardeep Toor.

.

The agency’s investigations are “strictly focused” on whether a license-holder has violated the Michigan public health code, he added.

House: Alarming Findings in MSU, Nassar Inquiry

Jonathan Oosting and Kim Kozlowski,

.

Lansing Larry Nassar was able to brazenly abuse women for decades because Michigan State University failed to properly pursue complaints, destroyed vital documents and allowed the disgraced doctor to exploit loopholes in university policies to avoid scrutiny, Michigan House lawmakers said Thursday.

.

A months-long inquiry by the House into how MSU handled accusations of sexual assault by the former gymnastics doctor produced alarming findings that were forwarded to the attorney generals office for further investigation.

.

While some of those findings remain under wraps because of an ongoing criminal investigation, bipartisan committee leaders disclosed several significant findings in a letter to House Speaker Tom Leonard, highlighting failures by MSU.

.

Nassar seems to have spent decades developing his ability to abuse patients without detection by identifying and exploiting loopholes in the policies that governed his professional conduct and patient relationships, wrote lawmakers, describing their review of MSU documents and question responses.

.

Medical records were never kept for many of Nassars treatments, they found. MSU did not have an adequate informed consent policy in place for much of the time he worked there, which Nassar methodically exploited, lawmakers said, and university policies did not require a chaperone to be in the room during sensitive examinations of minors.

.

In some cases, MSU had destroyed patients medical records by the time they reported Nassar to university police, lawmakers said. While the destruction did not violate state law or university policy, such records may have proven useful to at least one of the survivors seeking justice against Nassar.

.

MSU spokeswoman Emily Guerrant said following the inquirys release that MSU will be working with the House on its legislation and shares the joint concern of lawmakers who want to make sure the horrendous abuse that Larry Nassar executed cannot happen again.

.

An attorney for the university answered dozens of questions from lawmakers, which they also released.

.

Miller Canfield attorney Scott Eldridge told lawmakers that the university already has implemented a new privacy and chaperone policy. The universitys 10-year record retention policy exceeds the seven years required by state law, but the health team is conducting a global policy review, and there is potential that the minimum retention time will (be) addressed.

.

The House findings are the result of an extensive inquiry by the Law and Justice Committee and the Appropriations Subcommittee on Higher Education. They requested Nassar-related information from MSU on Jan. 25 and received more than 1,500 pages of documents.

MSU to NCAA: Nassar Sexually Assaulted 25 Student-Athletes,
but ‘no NCAA Rules Violations’

EAST LANSING – Larry Nassar sexually assaulted at least 25 MSU student-athletes, but there were no NCAA violations, the university has told the college athletics governing body.

.

In January, during Nassar’s Ingham County sentencing hearing, the NCAA sent Michigan State University a letter regarding potential rules violations related to Nassar’s crimes.

.

The university responded on March 22 in a letter from attorney Mike Glazier, of the law firm Bond, Schoeneck & King, PLLC, to the NCAA’s vice president of enforcement. Glazier listed the current ongoing investigations of the university, including those by the Michigan Attorney General’s Office, U.S. Congress and the U.S. Department of Education.

.

(Read the letter at the bottom of this story.)

.

“I trust that you will see that the University is in no way attempting to sidestep the issues facing it, and that if the University had any reason to believe the criminal conduct of Nassar also implicated NCAA rules violations, the University would accept responsibility in that area as well,” Glazier wrote in the letter, which MSU released on Wednesday.

.

“However, after a thorough and analytic examination of NCAA legislation, and an application of the known facts associated with the Nassar matter to NCAA legislation, the University finds no NCAA rules violations.”

.

Glazier said Nassar’s criminal conduct was “abhorrent and a violation of every standard of conduct expected of university of employees.”

.

The letter recapped a meeting and phone calls involving MSU and NCAA officials that refined the issues the university needed to address in its response. It also stated that the university is committed to NCAA Bylaw 20.9.1.6, which covers the well-being of student athletes including their health and safety, but notes that bylaw is a guide and not subject to enforcement.

If you are looking to create new short links, we recommend you check out popular services like Bitly and Ow.ly as an alternative. * If you have existing goo.gl short links, you can continue to use all features of goo.gl console for a period of one year, until March 30, 2019, when we will discontinue the console.

Your existing short links will not be migrated to the Firebase console, however, you will be able to export your link information from the goo.gl console. * snip * Some alternatives to the Google URL Shortening Tool The 9 Best URL Shorteners to Shorten Long Links Automatically turn your long URLs into shorter, more shareable links by Elise Moreau Updated June 03, 2018 Lifewire https://www.lifewire.com/shortening-long-links-3486603 * The 5 Best Alternatives to Google URL Shortener – Zapier https://zapier.com/blog/best-url-shorteners/ * If you’ve ever relied on goo.gl to tighten up links for you, it’s time to start thinking about alternative URL shorteners. Google ended support for its Google URL Shortener at the end of March 2018 and is taking a year to fully phase out the tool. * URL shorteners make sharing written-out links more manageable. Say you want to provide a link on a business card, in an advertisement, or in an email format where hyperlinking isn’t ideal. A shortened URL takes up less space and keeps your text tidy. For example, using goo.gl, you can convert https://www.blog.google/products/maps/wheres-waldo-find-him-google-maps/ to https://goo.gl/rVBBtP. It’s easier to read and easier for someone to copy and paste or type. * Some URL shorteners do little more than turn long links into short ones, while others let you customize the text of the new URLs, track click-through rates, and analyze other information about who’s clicking your links. Most URL shorteners have a free tier of service, but you often have to pay for added features, such as data and analysis. The five that made the cut for this list are easy to use and access, and each one stands out for one special reason, noted as “Best for” below. * snip * URL shortening – Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URL_shortening URL shortening is a technique on the World Wide Web in which a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) may be made substantially shorter and still direct to the required page. This is achieved by using a redirect which links to the web page that has a long URL. For example, the URL “http://example.com/assets/category_B/subcategory_C/Foo/” can be shortened to “https://example.com/Foo”, and the URL “http://example.com/about/index.html” can be shortened to “https://goo.gl/aO3Ssc”. Often the redirect domain name is shorter than the original one. A friendly URL may be desired for messaging technologies that limit the number of characters in a message (for example SMS), for reducing the amount of typing required if the reader is copying a URL from a print source, for making it easier for a person to remember, or for the intention of a permalink. In November 2009, the shortened links of the URL shortening service Bitly were accessed 2.1 billion times.[1] * Other uses of URL shortening are to “beautify” a link, track clicks, or disguise the underlying address. Although disguising of the underlying address may be desired for legitimate business or personal reasons, it is open to abuse.[2] Some URL shortening service providers have found themselves on spam blacklists, because of the use of their redirect services by sites trying to bypass those very same blacklists. Some websites prevent short, redirected URLs from being posted. * Contents 1 Purposes 2 Registering a short URL 3 Techniques 4 Expiry and time-limited services 5 History 6 Advantages 7 Shortcomings 7.1 Abuse 7.2 Linkrot 7.3 Transnational law 7.4 Blocking and banning 7.5 Advertising 7.6 Privacy and security 7.7 Additional layer of complexity 8 Services 9 See also 10 References 11 External links The 6 Best URL Shorteners and How to Choose The Right One https://tinyurl.com/jxrc4be * Bitly https://tinyurl.com/jxrc4be * TinyURL https://tinyurl.com/create.php * Top 5 URL Shorteners (And 3 Honorable Mentions) Adweek https://www.adweek.com/digital/top-5-url-shorteners-and-3-honorable-mentions/ * List of URL Shorteners URL Shortening Services List https://bit.do/list-of-url-shorteners.php * The Ultimate List of The 11 Best URL Shortener Services https://www.intelligenteconomist.com/url-shortener-services/ * Best URL Shorteners to Use in 2018 – Tech Advisor https://www.techadvisor.co.uk * 5 Reasons You Should Stop Shortening URLs – Forbes Forbes Yael Grauer , CONTRIBUTOR I write about technology, security, and online privacy. https://www.forbes.com/sites/ygrauer/2016/04/20/ five-reasons-you-should-stop-shortening-urls/#1e24bd493f69 OR https://tinyurl.com/yd7w9d9x A recent paper by Cornell Tech researcher Vitaly Shmatikov and independent researcher Martin Georgiev demonstrated that shortening URLs can have serious privacy consequences.

These links may help with this question.  I also believe that the value of
databases is not just determined by the content provided, but also by the
search features of the platform it is found on as finding content is as
important as the content being available in a database.  Search capabilities
are particularly important in the worlds of evidence based, systematic
reviews and the meta-analysis as the quality and thoroughness of search
results for projects involving these.  Expect many false drops in these
results, but there also seems to be a substantial collection of on topic
sources as well.  The first group of links compares Embase with
Pubmed and the second group adds Web of Science and Scopus to the mix.
There will also be comparisons of PubMed to Medline and Pubmed Central
which may be helpful to some users of this post. Methods sections of
publications that discuss specific topics may also provide clues to
comparative database usefulness in searches for the content shared in
those research studies.

Michigan States Larry Nassar Fallout Has Begun

A shorter URL for the above link: . https://tinyurl.com/yckva7ap . . Michigan State University said May 16 it had reached a $500 million settlement with more than 300 women and girls who alleged Larry Nassar, the former USA Gymnastics and Michigan State University doctor, sexually abused them. . The university will pay out $425 million, and set aside another $75 million for survivors who may come forward in the future. The payout far exceeds the $109 million Penn State paid to its more than 30 victims in the case of former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky, who was convicted of molesting young boys in 2012. . The settlement should resolve the scores of lawsuits against MSU, and it represents the harshest consequences yet for a university that has grappled with a slow burning crisis for months. MSU president Lou Anna Simon resigned in January, hours after Nassars sentencing. William Strampel, the former dean of MSUs College of Osteopathic Medicine and Nassars former boss, was charged with crimes related to sexual misconduct and abuse of power. The MSU athletic director also retired. . The Department of Education has opened a formal investigation into the university. So has the NCAA. Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette embarked on a full review of the Nassar case and the failures of MSU, appointing a special prosecutor to lead the probe. . Families and onlookers have demanded that the university, as well as USA Gymnastics, reckon with its role in the scandal and explain how a doctor accused of molesting about 300 women and girls did not face real consequences for decades. . That silence enabled Nassar to become perhaps the worst known sexual predator in American sports history. . At Nassars sentencing hearing, 15-year-old Emma Ann Miller told the court Nassar had molested her in August 2016 at MSU. The university suspended him about a week after, she said, and she offered a chilling thought: Im possibly the last child he will ever assault. . Her mother, Miller added, was still getting bills from MSU sports medicine bills, she said, for appointments where I was sexually assaulted. .

A Teen’s Muscle Soreness Turned Out to Be This Life-Threatening Condition

A Texas teen who felt extremely sore after a hard gym workout turned out to have a rare and potentially life-threatening condition called rhabdomyolysis. But how do you tell the difference between run-of-the-mill soreness and rhabdomyolysis?

.

The teen, Jared Shamburger, had recently signed up for a gym membership with his family, according to local news outlet KTRK. His older brother and dad had been weightlifting for years, and Shamburger wanted to “catch up” with them. “I have to go hard fast,” Shamburger, who is 17, told KTRK.

.

But after a 90-minute weightlifting session, Shamburger said he felt particularly sore. “Everything hurt. It hurt to the touch. It was swollen,” he said.

.

When the teen’s soreness and swelling didn’t go away, his mom, Judy Shamburger, looked up his symptoms online, and realized her son might have rhabdomyolysis. Her suspicion was right. The teen was diagnosed with the condition, sometimes referred to as “rhabdo,” and hospitalized for five days, KTRK reported.

Shamburger is expected to make a full recovery, KTRK reported.

Rhabdomyolysis – Wikipedia

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhabdomyolysis

Rhabdomyolysis is a condition in which damaged skeletal muscle breaks down rapidly.[3] Symptoms may include muscle pains, weakness, vomiting, and confusion.[3][4] There may be tea-colored urine or an irregular heartbeat.[3] Some of the muscle breakdown products, such as the protein myoglobin, are harmful to the kidneys and may lead to kidney failure.[3]

The muscle damage is most often the result of a crush injury, strenuous exercise, medications, or drug abuse.[3] Other causes include infections, electrical injury, heat stroke, prolonged immobilization, lack of blood flow to a limb, or snake bites.[3] Some people have inherited muscle conditions that increase the risk of rhabdomyolysis.[3] The diagnosis is supported by a urine test strip which is positive for “blood” but the urine contains no red blood cells when examined with a microscope.[3] Blood tests show a creatine kinase greater than 1,000 U/L, with severe disease being above 5,000 U/L.[5]

The mainstay of treatment is large quantities of intravenous fluids.[3] Other treatments may include dialysis or hemofiltration in more severe cases.[4][6] Once urine output is established sodium bicarbonate and mannitol are commonly used but they are poorly supported by the evidence.[3][4] Outcomes are generally good if treated early.[3] Complications may include high blood potassium, low blood calcium, disseminated intravascular coagulation, and compartment syndrome.[3]

Rhabdomyolysis occurs in about 26,000 people a year in the United States.[3] While the condition has been commented on throughout history, the first modern description was following an earthquake in 1908.[7] Important discoveries as to its mechanism were made during the Blitz of London in 1941.[7] It is a significant problem for those injured in earthquakes and relief efforts for such disasters often include medical teams equipped to treat survivors with rhabdomyolysis.[7]

Rhabdomyolysis
Email this page to a friend Print Facebook Twitter Google+

Rhabdomyolysis is the breakdown of muscle tissue that leads to the release of muscle fiber contents into the blood. These substances are harmful to the kidney and often cause kidney damage.
Causes

When muscle is damaged, a protein called myoglobin is released into the bloodstream. It is then filtered out of the body by the kidneys. Myoglobin breaks down into substances that can damage kidney cells.

Rhabdomyolysis may be caused by injury or any other condition that damages skeletal muscle.

Problems that may lead to this disease include:

Trauma or crush injuries
Use of drugs such as cocaine, amphetamines, statins, heroin, or PCP
Genetic muscle diseases
Extremes of body temperature
Ischemia or death of muscle tissue
Low phosphate levels
Seizures or muscle tremors
Severe exertion, such as marathon running or calisthenics
Lengthy surgical procedures
Severe dehydration

Symptoms

Symptoms may include:

Dark, red, or cola-colored urine
Decreased urine output
General weakness
Muscle stiffness or aching (myalgia)
Muscle tenderness
Weakness of the affected muscles

Other symptoms that may occur with this disease:

Fatigue
Joint pain
Seizures
Weight gain (unintentional)

Exams and Tests

A physical exam will show tender or damaged skeletal muscles.

The following tests may be done:

Creatine kinase (CK) level
Serum calcium
Serum myoglobin
Serum potassium
Urinalysis
Urine myoglobin test

This disease may also affect the results of the following tests:

CK isoenzymes
Serum creatinine
Urine creatinine

Treatment

You will need to get fluids containing bicarbonate to help prevent kidney damage. You may need to get fluids through a vein (IV). Some people may need kidney dialysis.

Your health care provider may prescribe medicines including diuretics and bicarbonate (if there is enough urine output).

Hyperkalemia and low blood calcium levels (hypocalcemia) should be treated right away. Kidney failure should also be treated.
Outlook (Prognosis)

The outcome depends on the amount of kidney damage. Acute kidney failure occurs in many people. Getting treated soon after rhabdomyolysis will reduce the risk of permanent kidney damage.

People with milder cases may return to their normal activities within a few weeks to a month. However, some people continue to have problems with fatigue and muscle pain.
Possible Complications

Complications may include:

Acute tubular necrosis
Acute renal failure
Harmful chemical imbalances in the blood
Shock (low blood pressure)

When to Contact a Medical Professional

Call your provider if you have symptoms of rhabdomyolysis.
Prevention

Rhabdomyolysis can be avoided by:

Drinking plenty of fluids after strenuous exercise.
Removing extra clothes and immersing the body in cold water in case of heat stroke.

About Rhabdomyolysis

Rhabdomyolysis is an extremely rare but serious side effect where muscle tissue gradually breaks down in certain muscles. This can lead to permanent paralysis, and the breakdown products can cause serious kidney damage.

In studies, rhabdomyolysis was found to occur in 1 out of 10,000 people who took statins for longer periods of time.

Signs of this side effect include muscle ache and dark-colored urine, so it is important to seek medical advice if you have these symptoms. Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care (IQWiG)

Is continuous renal replacement therapy beneficial for people with rhabdomyolysis?

Rhabdomyolysis is a potentially life-threatening condition where damaged muscle tissue breaks down quickly, and products of damaged muscle cells are released into the bloodstream. Of these products, a protein called myoglobin is harmful to kidney health and can lead to acute kidney injury. There is some evidence to suggest that continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) may provide benefits for people with rhabdomyolysis.

Efficacy of statins for primary prevention in people at low cardiovascular risk: a meta-analysis

The review concluded that both low- and high-potency statins were efficacious in preventing death and cardiovascular-related morbidity in people at low risk of cardiovascular events, although the number needed to treat to prevent one adverse outcome was relatively high for any statin. The authors’ conclusions reflect the evidence available and appear likely to be reliable.

Adverse events associated with individual statin treatments for cardiovascular disease: an indirect comparison meta-analysis

The use of statin therapy for cardiovascular disease was associated with a relatively low risk of adverse events. High risk of bias within the studies, high clinical and methodological heterogeneity between the studies, and a discrepancy between the initial outcomes stated and those actually reported suggest that the authors’ conclusions and recommendations may not be reliable.

Lipid Modification: Cardiovascular Risk Assessment and the Modification of Blood Lipids for the Primary and Secondary Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease

This guideline updates for primary prevention, the NICE technology appraisal, Statins for the prevention of cardiovascular events (TA94, 2007) and reviews and updates the recommendations made in the NICE guideline Lipid Modification (CG67, 2008) for primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The scope for this guideline was limited to the identification and assessment of CVD risk and to the assessment and modification of lipids in people at risk of CVD, or people with known CVD. The guideline development group wishes to make clear that lipid modification should take place as part of a programme of risk reduction which also include attention to the management of all other known CVD risk factors.

Aerobic training for McArdle disease

McArdle disease is a rare disease of muscle metabolism. Affected people cannot use a starch-like substance called glycogen which is stored in muscle and used for energy at the beginning of activity and during strenuous exercise. The effects of the condition are fatigue and cramping within a few minutes of starting an activity, which can potentially lead to acute muscle damage. After about seven or eight minutes of exercise the muscle can start to use alternative sources of energy from fats and sugars supplied from the liver and so the symptoms ease. This phenomenon is called the ‘second wind’. In healthy people, aerobic training is known to improve the ability of muscle to burn fats for energy during exercise. In theory then, aerobic training could be beneficial to people with McArdle disease, as their muscles might be trained to use fats earlier and more efficiently during exercise. The purpose of this review was to identify any randomised controlled trials of aerobic training and assess its effects in people with McArdle disease. There were no randomised controlled trials of aerobic training in people with McArdle disease. There were, however, three small uncontrolled studies (the largest included nine participants). The studies showed that it is possible for people with McArdle disease to undergo exercise training and there were no harmful effects. Whether or not training is beneficial for people with McArdle disease needs further investigation, with randomised controlled trials including larger numbers of people with the condition.

Statins for acute ischemic stroke

Stroke is a major public health problem than can cause death and severe disability. A limited number of drugs are available for treating patients with stroke. Statins, a group of drugs commonly used to reduce cholesterol levels, are known to be safe and effective when given to patients with an acute heart attack. Therefore, they may also be beneficial in patients with acute stroke. We identified eight relevant trials of statins in acute stroke involving 625 participants. Unfortunately, insufficient information was available to establish whether statins are safe and beneficial for patients with acute ischemic stroke

Drug Class Review: HMG-CoA Reductase Inhibitors (Statins) and Fixed-dose Combination Products Containing a Statin: Final Report Update 5 [Internet]

In the United States, coronary heart disease and cardiovascular disease account for nearly 40% of all deaths each year. Coronary heart disease continues to be the leading cause of mortality and a significant cause of morbidity among North Americans. In 2006, coronary heart disease claimed 607 000 lives, translating into about 1 out of every 5 deaths in the United States. High levels of cholesterol, or hypercholesterolemia, are an important risk factor for coronary heart disease. The 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors, also known as statins, are the most effective class of drugs for lowering serum low-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations. They are first-line agents for patients who require drug therapy to reduce serum low-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations. The purpose of this review is to compare the benefits and harms of different statins in adults and children with hypercholesterolemia.

Acute pain is often felt soon after injury. Most people who have surgery have moderate or severe pain afterwards. People with pain are used to test pain killers. They have often had wisdom teeth removed. The pain is often treated with pain killers given by mouth. Results can then be applied to other forms of acute pain.

The harmful health effects of recreational ecstasy: a systematic review of observational evidence

Street drugs known as ecstasy have been sold for about 20 years in the UK. The active substance that such tablets contain or purport to contain is 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA). Shortly after consumption, MDMA releases chemicals in the brain that tend to bring about a sense of euphoria, exhilaration and increased intimacy with others. It is thought to be the third most commonly used illegal drug in the UK after cannabis and cocaine, with estimates suggesting that between 500,000 and 2 million tablets are consumed each week. Most people who take ecstasy also use other legal and illegal drugs, sometimes at the same time. Ecstasy is commonly taken in nightclubs and at parties and is very often associated with extended sessions of dancing.

Lipid Screening in Childhood and Adolescence for Detection of Familial Hypercholesterolemia: A Systematic Evidence Review for the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force [Internet]

Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an inherited disorder of lipoprotein metabolism characterized by highly elevated total cholesterol (TC) concentrations early in life, independent of environmental influences. Around 1 in 200 to 1 in 500 persons in North America and Europe are estimated to have heterozygous FH. When untreated, FH is associated with a high incidence of premature clinical atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.

Topotecan, pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride, paclitaxel, trabectedin and gemcitabine for advanced recurrent or refractory ovarian cancer: a systematic review and economic evaluation

The study was unable to compare the clinical and cost-effectiveness of platinum-based therapies with non-platinum-based therapies for platinum sensitive ovarian cancer. In people with platinum-sensitive disease, paclitaxel plus platinum could be considered cost-effective compared with platinum therapies alone at a threshold of 30,000 per additional quality-adjusted life-year. In people with disease which is resistant or refractory to platinum it is unlikely that topotecan would be considered cost-effective compared with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride.

Alcohol Use Disorders: Diagnosis and Clinical Management of Alcohol-Related Physical Complications [Internet]

Alcohol is the most widely used psychotropic drug in the industrialised world; it has been used for thousands of years as a social lubricant and anxiolytic. In the UK, it is estimated that 24% of adult men and 13% of adult women drink in a hazardous or harmful way. Levels of hazardous and harmful drinking are lowest in the central and eastern regions of England (2124% of men and 1014% of women). They are highest in the north (2628% of men, 1618% of women). Hazardous and harmful drinking are commonly encountered amongst hospital attendees; 12% of emergency department attendances are directly related to alcohol whilst 20% of patients admitted to hospital for illnesses unrelated to alcohol are drinking at potentially hazardous levels. Continued hazardous and harmful drinking can result in dependence and tolerance with the consequence that an abrupt reduction in intake might result in development of a withdrawal syndrome. In addition, persistent drinking at hazardous and harmful levels can also result in damage to almost every organ or system of the body. Alcohol-attributable conditions include liver damage, pancreatitis and the Wernickes encephalopathy. Key areas in the investigation and management of these conditions are covered in this guideline.

Reslizumab (Cinqair) [Internet]

Asthma is a common chronic respiratory disorder characterized by reversible airway obstruction, pulmonary inflammation, airway hyper-responsiveness, and airway remodelling., Patients with asthma typically present with paroxysmal or persistent symptoms of wheezing, dyspnea, chest tightness, sputum production, and coughing that are associated with airflow limitation and airway hyper-responsiveness to endogenous and exogenous stimuli (e.g., exercise; viral respiratory infections; or exposure to certain allergens, irritants, or gases). Severe eosinophilic asthma is an asthma phenotype characterized by the presence of eosinophils in the airways and sputum, despite compliance with conventional asthma therapy. Severe asthma can have a profound effect on patients day-to-day lives, such as limiting physical activity, reducing performance at work or school, restricting social interactions, and leading to stigma. It may also necessitate frequent physician and emergency room visits.

Meta-analysis of safety of the coadministration of statin with fenofibrate in patients with combined hyperlipidemia

Addition of fenofibrate to statin therapy might represent a viable treatment option for patients whose high risk for coronary heart disease is not controlled by a statin alone. However, safety of coadministration of statin with fenofibrate has been a great concern. The present study tested the safety of coadministration of statin with fenofibrate. We systematically searched the literature to identify randomized controlled trials examining safety of coadministration of statin with fenofibrate. A meta-analysis was performed to estimate safety of coadministration of statin with fenofibrate using fixed-effects models. There were 1,628 subjects in the identified 6 studies. Discontinuation attributed to any adverse events (4.5% vs 3.1%, p = 0.20), any adverse events (42% vs 41%, p = 0.82), adverse events related to study drug (10.9% vs 11.0%, p = 0.95), and serious adverse events (2.0% vs 1.5%, p = 0.71) were not significantly different in the 2 arms. Incidence of alanine aminotransferase and/or aspartate aminotransferase =3 times upper limit of normal in the combination therapy arm was significantly higher than in the statin monotherapy arm (3.1% vs 0.2%, p = 0.0009). In the 6 trials with 1,628 subjects no case of myopathy or rhabdomyolysis was reported. In conclusion, statin-fenofibrate combination therapy was tolerated as well as statin monotherapy. Physicians should consider statin-fenofibrate combination therapy to treat patients with mixed dyslipidemia.

Is continuous renal replacement therapy beneficial for people with rhabdomyolysis?

Rhabdomyolysis is a potentially life-threatening condition where damaged muscle tissue breaks down quickly, and products of damaged muscle cells are released into the bloodstream. Of these products, a protein called myoglobin is harmful to kidney health and can lead to acute kidney injury. There is some evidence to suggest that continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) may provide benefits for people with rhabdomyolysis.

When is it worth taking statins to lower high cholesterol?

High cholesterol levels could mean an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Certain medications called statins lower the amount of cholesterol in the blood. They can prevent related medical conditions and increase life expectancy. Whether or not it’s worth taking them will depend on what other risk factors you have, though. If the risk of cardiovascular disease can’t be reduced enough through general measures, treatment with medication can be considered. Whether treatment with medication is a good idea will mostly depend on individual risk factors and how you yourself view the pros and cons of the treatment. The main factor is whether you have already had cardiovascular disease, such as coronary artery disease. That may greatly increase the risk of a heart attack or stroke. This risk can be reduced using medication. When deciding whether or not to have a certain treatment, it can help to find out about the advantages and disadvantages of the treatment. Various groups of drugs can be used for the treatment of high cholesterol. But only one group of drugs, known as statins, has been well studied in people who have never had a heart attack, stroke or other type of cardiovascular disease. Many different statins have been approved in Germany, including atorvastatin, fluvastatin, lovastatin, pitavastatin, pravastatin, rosuvastatin and simvastatin.

Medication for the long-term treatment of coronary artery disease

The long-term treatment of coronary artery disease (CAD) mainly involves taking medication. Various medications can relieve the symptoms and lower the risk of complications. In order to prevent the development of related medical conditions, all people who have coronary artery disease (CAD) are advised to take two types of medication: Antiplatelets to prevent blood clots, and statins to protect the blood vessels. Beta blockers are sometimes taken too, to reduce the heart’s workload, particularly in people who have heart failure or high blood pressure. Good-quality studies have proven that these medications can lower the risk of complications such as heart attacks or strokes. People who have certain other medical conditions too may take other medications such as ACE inhibitors. But even the very best treatment with medications will offer only limited protection from heart disease. All medications can have side effects. Yet it is often possible to avoid them by adjusting the dose or by choosing a different medication in the same group of drugs. The side effects often go away after a while too, once the body has got used to the medication. The risk of side effects may increase when two or more medications are taken together, because they may interact. It is therefore important to tell your doctor what medication you are already taking. Generally speaking, the more risk factors someone has, the more likely it is that he or she will benefit from medication. The important thing is to continue to take your medication and to take it regularly its protective effect lasts only as long as it is taken.

Aerobic training for McArdle disease

McArdle disease is a rare disease of muscle metabolism. Affected people cannot use a starch-like substance called glycogen which is stored in muscle and used for energy at the beginning of activity and during strenuous exercise. The effects of the condition are fatigue and cramping within a few minutes of starting an activity, which can potentially lead to acute muscle damage. After about seven or eight minutes of exercise the muscle can start to use alternative sources of energy from fats and sugars supplied from the liver and so the symptoms ease. This phenomenon is called the ‘second wind’. In healthy people, aerobic training is known to improve the ability of muscle to burn fats for energy during exercise. In theory then, aerobic training could be beneficial to people with McArdle disease, as their muscles might be trained to use fats earlier and more efficiently during exercise. The purpose of this review was to identify any randomised controlled trials of aerobic training and assess its effects in people with McArdle disease. There were no randomised controlled trials of aerobic training in people with McArdle disease. There were, however, three small uncontrolled studies (the largest included nine participants). The studies showed that it is possible for people with McArdle disease to undergo exercise training and there were no harmful effects. Whether or not training is beneficial for people with McArdle disease needs further investigation, with randomised controlled trials including larger numbers of people with the condition.

Statins for acute ischemic stroke

Stroke is a major public health problem than can cause death and severe disability. A limited number of drugs are available for treating patients with stroke. Statins, a group of drugs commonly used to reduce cholesterol levels, are known to be safe and effective when given to patients with an acute heart attack. Therefore, they may also be beneficial in patients with acute stroke. We identified eight relevant trials of statins in acute stroke involving 625 participants. Unfortunately, insufficient information was available to establish whether statins are safe and beneficial for patients with acute ischemic stroke

In most cases, the history reflects the inciting cause (though in some, it is nonspecific and thus diagnostically unreliable). Possible causes include the following:

Alcohol use and resultant unresponsiveness

Illicit drug use

Use of prescribed medications

Heatstroke

Infection

Trauma

Metabolic disorders

Inflammatory myopathies

Initial physical findings may be nonspecific. The following may be noted:

Muscular pain and tenderness

Decreased muscle strength

Soft tissue swelling

Skin changes consistent with pressure necrosis

Hyperthermia, hypothermia, and electrical injuries

Crush injuries or deformities in long bones

Michigan States $500 Million for Nassar Victims Dwarfs Other Settlements

By Mitch Smith and Anemona Hartocollis

.

Victims of Lawrence G. Nassar, the Michigan State University physician who sexually abused young women under the guise of medical treatment, would receive $500 million from the university in a settlement that is believed to be the largest ever reached in a sexual abuse case involving an American university.

.

It dwarfed the size of the settlement reached in the sex abuse scandal at Pennsylvania State University. And it was larger than many of the settlements that followed the child sex abuse crisis in the Roman Catholic Church.

.

I think the number being so large sends a message that is undeniable, that something really terrible happened here and that Michigan State owns it, said John Manly, a lawyer for many of the 332 women who sued the university over abuse by Dr. Nassar. When you pay half a billion dollars, its an admission of responsibility.

.

Women who say they were abused by Dr. Nassar still have lawsuits against U.S.A. Gymnastics, the United States Olympic Committee and others, and the settlement with Michigan State could add pressure in those cases. The settlement by Michigan State, a public university that is the states largest, also sent a loud warning to other colleges about the potentially devastating cost of ignoring misconduct.

.

The agreement comes as officials at the University of Southern California are under fire for failing to report a gynecologist who faced allegations of misconduct for decades, and as other colleges find themselves grappling with a growing number of sexual abuse and assault complaints over the last few years. By late Wednesday, officials at U.S.C. said they had received about 85 complaints about George Tyndall, the gynecologist.

Larry Nassar’s Ex-Boss at Michigan State Charged with Sexual Assault,
Harassment of Students

by Will Hobson

March 27, 2018

.

.

The former dean of Michigan State Universitys school of osteopathic medicine sexually assaulted and harassed four female students, and also mishandled a 2014 complaint that Larry Nassar sexually assaulted a patient, allowing further abuses by the disgraced former Olympic gymnastics physician to occur, according to criminal charges unsealed in Michigan Tuesday morning.

.

William Strampel, 70, who led Michigan States medical school from 2002 until late last year, was arrested Monday evening and taken to jail on four charges one felony and three misdemeanors stemming from the Michigan Attorney Generals Offices ongoing investigation of the role others at the school may have played in crimes committed by Nassar, the former Michigan State and USA Gymnastics physician accused by more than 250 girls and women of sexual abuse.

.

Tuesdays criminal charges invited more criticism from Nassars victims and their attorneys of Michigan States board of trustees, who resisted calls for nearly a year to commission an independent investigation of how the serial pedophile accused of abusing children as far back as the mid-1990s was able to escape detection for so long. Until relenting to demands for an inquiry in January, Michigan State board members publicly maintained university officials, including Strampel, didnt deserve blame for Nassars crimes.

Micro Concussions May Alter Football Players’ Brains

By Tim Newman

Published Monday 9 April 2018

Medical News Today

https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/321430.php

.

.

A new study finds that players of contact sports have differences in their brain activity when compared with people who play non-contact sports. The authors ask whether micro concussions are to blame.

.

There has been a significant drive, over recent years, to push the issue of concussion to the front of people’s minds.

.

It’s now common knowledge that someone who is concussed should not return to the field of play and should take care to rest.

.

The study that we are discussing today relates to a more common but much less understood phenomenon: subconcussive impacts, which are also known as micro concussions.

.

The study authors define micro concussions as “impacts to the skull, including those that do not produce acute concussion but nevertheless result in clinical signs and symptoms.”

.

Across a college football season, a player might pick up well over 1,000 micro concussions. And, as research intensifies, scientists are growing increasingly concerned that they may have a significant cumulative effect.

.

.

Overall, though, the study only adds to the pile of inconclusive findings. Although differences were seen footballers’ visual centers were busier accurate interpretation is impossible at this stage.
