Naganap ang panayam noong nakaraang Huwebes, August 23, sa faculty office ng Central Colleges of the Philippines (CCP), kung saan ginanap ang taping ng weekly supernatural mystery drama series naThird Eye ng TV5. During dinner break, nabanggit ni Lorna ang tungkol sa pinsang si Zsa Zsa Padilla, who was diagnosed with Stage 1 cancer of the kidney. "Ka-text ko si Zsa Zsa. Four weeks daw siya doon, tapos saka babalik dito. Four weeks after the operation, hindi pa siya puwedeng mag-work. August 27 ang naiulat noon na schedule ng operasyon ni Zsa Zsa sa Cedars-Sinai Medical Center sa Los Angeles, California. Sixteen hours and delay ng oras ng U.S. sa Pilipinas, kayat malamang na ngayong araw na ang operasyon ni Zsa Zsa. Tatanggalin ang mala-golf ball sa laking namuong laman sa kanyang kidney.

By Rick Nauert PhD Senior News Editor Reviewed by John M. Grohol, Psy.D. on August 27, 2012 An innovative new study merges engineering and clinical expertise to develop a revolutionary method to diagnose and treat epilepsy patients. Researchers from the University of Minnesota and the Mayo Clinic believe a new type of non-invasive brain scan taken immediately after a seizure will provide advanced insight into possible causes and treatments for epilepsy patients. The new findings could benefit millions of people who are unable to control their epilepsy with medication. The research is published online in the journal Brain. Researchers say the study resulted in several significant findings: This is the first-ever study where new non-invasive methods were used to study patients after a seizure instead of during a seizure, said Dr. Bin He, a biomedical engineering professor in the University of Minnesotas College of Science and Engineering and senior author of the study. Its really a paradigm shift for research in epilepsy. Epilepsy affects nearly 3 million Americans and 50 million people worldwide. Although medications and other treatments help many people of all ages who live with epilepsy, about 1 million people in the U.S. and 17 million people worldwide … Continue reading →

SACRAMENTO Hispanic children often have undiagnosed developmental delays and large numbers of both Hispanic and non-Hispanic children who first were thought to have developmental delay actually had autism, researchers affiliated with the UC Davis MIND Institute have found. The study, one of the largest to date to compare development in Hispanic and non-Hispanic children, is published in the journal Autism. The results lead the study authors to recommend increased public health efforts to improve awareness, especially among Hispanics, about the indicators of developmental delay and autism. "Our study raises concerns about access to accurate, culturally relevant information regarding developmental milestones and the importance of early detection and treatment," said Virginia Chaidez, the lead author and a postdoctoral researcher in the UC Davis Department of Public Health Sciences when the study was conducted. "Autism and developmental delay tend to go undiagnosed when parents are not aware of the signs to look for, and the conditions are often misdiagnosed when parents don't have access to adequate developmental surveillance and screening." Developmental delay is diagnosed in children who lag behind others in reaching important mental or physical milestones, while autism is characterized by deficits in social interactions and communication behaviors. The symptoms of … Continue reading →

Originally published August 27, 2012 at 4:42 PM | Page modified August 27, 2012 at 4:42 PM Group Health Cooperative has settled a class-action lawsuit by agreeing to cover behavioral-health treatment for autism, an important moment and model for other Washington insurers. Indeed, the state Health Care Authority followed with its partial settlement of a class-action lawsuit, agreeing to cover intensive early-intervention behavior therapy for children with autism-spectrum disorders whose parents have health insurance through the state's Uniform Medical Plan. Coverage for Medicaid patients is also close to an agreement. Convincing insurers to pay for neurodevelopmental and behavioral therapies used to treat this range of clinical conditions is a huge step that ought not be downplayed. These therapies can produce dramatic improvements in children with autism, allowing them to attend school and participate in mainstream activities. Therapeutic costs can easily run families tens of thousands of dollars a year. Washington's mental-health parity law requires coverage for neurodevelopmental and behavioral therapies. That's considerable leverage, but it did not stop insurers from excluding the therapies. Adding to families' challenge in getting coverage is the debate over whether certain treatments are medical, and covered by insurance, or educational, and thus falling under the … Continue reading →
