Bloomberg: Swine flu may infect half the U.S. population this year, hospitalize 1.8  million patients and lead to as many as 90,000 deaths, more than twice the number killed in a typical seasonal flu, White House advisers said. In a report by the President’s Council of Advisers on Science and Technology, President Barack Obama today was urged to speed vaccine production and name a senior member of the White House staff, preferably the homeland security adviser, to take responsibility for decision- making on the pandemic. Initial doses should be accelerated to mid-September to vaccinate as many as 40 million people, the advisory group said.    August 24, 2009	MEDICAL NEEDS Medicinenet.com Medterms.com DiscoveryHealth.com eDentalStore.com Disease World	Anxiety Disorders Assoc of America 11900 Parklawn Drive, Suite 100 Rockville, MD 20852-2624 301-231-9350 www.adaa.org

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IMPACTED BY ECONOMIC DOWNTURN PONTIAC, Michigan…HAVEN of Oakland County is experiencing an increase in crisis calls and requests for shelter as well as their other services. Is it a sign of the times? Domestic violence victims are unfortunately facing the proverbial perfect storm. With economic pressures building, there are signs of increase in the incidence of violence; there are a lack of options for victims to take to escape; and non profits service agencies are being squeezed to serve more people with less funding.   INCREASING INCIDENCE At HAVEN, we are seeing more severe physical injuries and a higher level of trauma. A 2004 National Institute of Justice study concluded that the rate of domestic violence is impacted by the number of times the male in the relationship was unemployed. For those individuals experiencing a violent relationship, the poor economy is having a dramatic impact on them. “The economic stress of being laid off, fear of losing a job, inability to find work, cost of fuel, and credit issues are all factors that are contributing to an escalation of violence”, says HAVEN President Beth Morrison.

"What is happening in the American psyche that prevents people from defusing their own anguish and rage before they end the lives of others? Why are we killing each other? This is not an era of good feeling in the United States. We have under our belt eight years of pernicious terrorism angst, six years of Iraq war weariness and, now, months of wondering how bad the American economy's going to get and when — or, worse, whether — it's going to come back. People are tense. There's less inclination to help out your fellow human being. Meanwhile, anchors and analysts and witnesses and bloggers cast about in an information-age fog trying to make sense of something that is, in the worst way, nonsensical. They rush to offer solutions, but the thing they typically dodge is that we seem to be powerless to stop it all — that our community, our neighbors, may be next. That's too terrifying to contemplate, not to mention too open-ended for American news consumers reared on tidy Hollywood endings."

 

U.S. manufacturers, including major drug makers, have legally released at least 271 million pounds of pharmaceuticals into waterways that often provide drinking water — contamination the federal government has consistently overlooked, according to an Associated Press investigation. Hundreds of active pharmaceutical ingredients are used in a variety of manufacturing, including drugmaking: For example, lithium is used to make ceramics and treat bipolar disorder; nitroglycerin is a heart drug and also used in explosives; copper shows up in everything from pipes to contraceptives.Federal and industry officials say they don't know the extent to which pharmaceuticals are released by U.S. manufacturers because no one tracks them — as drugs. But a close analysis of 20 years of federal records found that, in fact, the government unintentionally keeps data on a few, allowing a glimpse of the pharmaceuticals coming from factories.
