...related stress typically arises from high-pressure demands and the lack of control or social support at work, the study finds. The final portion of the guide reins in more current research about the effects of stress on cardiovascular disease, cancer, the immune system, and gastrointestinal disorders...
...regular snoozes were 37 percent less likely to die of heart disease than those who pushed through the day without a nap. Michael Irwin, a co-author of the study and psychiatry professor at the Semel Institute for Neuroscience at University of California, Los Angeles, said that there are cardiovascular benefits to getting enough sleep every day. “There is a link between poor sleep and cardiovascular mortality,” said Irwin. “Naps taken during the day were associated with lower cardiovascular mortality.” Irwin said that the study has particularly important...
...owned hospitals as well, along with a dozen ASCs and at least 10 free-standing diagnostic imaging centers, eight of which have physician investors. (Via Christi has a share in four of them, as it does in one ASC and a specialty hospital.) "The fear that emergency rooms and cardiovascular programs would close at community hospitals," says Duick, "has not been borne out over seven years in Wichita...
...competition fair? Within two years after Galichia Heart Hospital opened in Wichita in 2001, Wesley's net revenues from its cardiovascular program plummeted from a notch above $18 million to roughly $2 million. In 2003 the Kansas Spine Hospital opened, and in a year Wesley's neurosurgery revenues dropped $8.8 million, to roughly $1 million. Via Christi cardiovascular surgeries declined from 4,334 in 1998 to an estimated 2,950 this year. In that period, its executives say, the number of nonsurgically treated cardiac patients--who, say, have heart failure--remained relatively steady, around...
...generate from disparate sources. “This is the first study that shows that a single cell can give rise to all cardiac tissues and structures,” said Kenneth R. Chien ’73, the senior author of the paper and the director of the Cardiovascular Research Center at MGH, a Harvard Medical School teaching hospital. Current therapies for recovering damaged heart tissue due to disorders such as heart attacks involve injection of bone marrow or blood cells and are largely ineffective, experts say. However, the findings of the MGH and Children’s Hospital...
