Are you aware of Medicare Fraud and Abuse?Jessica Parker
Most physicians strive to work ethically, provide high-quality medical care to their patients, and submit proper claims for payment. Trust is at the core of the physician-patient relationship. The Federal Government also places enormous trust in physicians. Medicare and other Federal health care programs rely on physicians’ medical judgment to treat patients with appropriate, medically necessary services.

ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORDS
The public health department is faced with the challenge of record keeping since the state's health department will soon cease to maintain the electronic medical record system (EMR). The department is, therefore, having a hindrance in its workflow and supporting quality healthcare. The department will soon be unable to generate medical records about treatment gaps, immunization status reports and pharmacy utilization reports when the state cuts out its service. The department's revenue may not be enough to cater for the services, given that most of its revenue is generated from patients within the community where a majority are uninsured while the others are re in Medicaid or mediocre programs.
From the given situation some questions need to be resolved. One is how to continue maintaining an electronic medical record without the state's services. The other is on how to raise revenue to cater for information technology services and training that the will no longer be given for free. Another question would be as for whether to join the insurer's network. Other than the uninsured, the department seems to serve patients who are in the insurer's Medicaid or Medicare program, hence joining the network would probably provide quality healthcare delivery.
To improve the population health, one of the principles to be utilized is identifying priorities through looking at the health trends and the burden of illness by use of the population data. The action will allow the implementation of evidence-based actions to which will facilitate positive health outcomes. The current situation requires that proper management is observed to ensure that the limited available resources cater for the prioritized needs. Additionally, there should be created sustainable funding method which rewards improvement in population healthcare and prevention (Woolf et al. 2015). Funds directed towards population healthcare should be explicitly described for prioritized healthcare intervention.
The department can increase its revenue by joining the insurer's network where there will be more insured patients and stop relying on direct patients. It can also improve financing through cost transparency which will reduce pharmaceutical costs by allowing drug costs negotiations by Medicare.It can also improve its quality healthcare through maintaining healthy healthcare systems; this means that evidence-based management must support the delivery of evidence-based care. The primary factor will, therefore, be information. Thus patients' real-time data must be obtained for purposes of maintaining a smooth workflow. Information will lead to making better decisions which will have a direct impact on better health outcomes. An integrated healthcare system will also be vital in improving health ...

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.
Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.
