ADHD is over-diagnosed, experts say
ScienceDaily (Mar. 30, 2012) ? What experts and the public have already long suspected is now supported by representative data collected by researchers at Ruhr-Universit?t Bochum (RUB) and University of Basel: ADHD, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, is over-diagnosed. The study showed that child and adolescent psychotherapists and psychiatrists tend to give a diagnosis based on heuristics, unclear rules of thumb, rather than adhering to recognized diagnostic criteria. Boys in particular are substantially more often misdiagnosed compared to girls.
These are the most important results of a study conducted by Prof. Dr. Silvia Schneider and Prof. Dr. J?rgen Margraf (both from RUB) and Dr. Katrin Bruchm?ller (University of Basel) as reported in the periodical Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology.
Daniel has ADHD, Danielle doesn't
The researchers surveyed altogether 1,000 child and adolescent psychotherapists and psychiatrists across Germany. 473 participated in the study. They received one of four available case vignettes, and were asked to give a diagnoses and a recommendation for therapy. In three out of the four case vignettes, the described symptoms and circumstances did not fulfil ADHD criteria. Only one of the cases fulfilled ADHD criteria based strictly on the valid diagnostic criteria. In addition, the gender of the child was included as a variable resulting in eight different case vignettes. As the result, when comparing two identical cases with a different gender, the difference was clear: Leon has ADHD, Lea doesn't.
Male and conspicuous: the "prototype" makes the difference
Many child and adolescent psychotherapists and psychiatrists seem to proceed heuristically and base their decisions on prototypical symptoms. The prototype is male and shows symptoms such as motoric restlessness, lack of concentration and impulsiveness. In connection with the gender of the patient, these symptoms lead to different diagnoses. A boy with such symptoms, even he does not fulfil the complete set of diagnostic criteria, will receive a diagnosis for ADHD, whereas a girl will not. Also the therapist's gender plays a role in the diagnostic: male therapists give substantially more frequently a diagnosis for ADHD than their female counterparts.
Diagnostic inflation, more medication, higher daily doses
In the past decades the diagnoses ADHD have become almost inflationary. Between 1989 and 2001, the number of diagnoses in German clinical practise increased by 381 percent. The costs for ADHD medication, such as for the performance-enhancer Methylphenidate, have grown 9 times between 1993 and 2003. The German health insurance company, Techniker, reports an increase of 30 percent in Methylphenidate prescriptions for its clients between the ages of 6 and 18. Similarly, the daily dosage has increased by 10 percent on average.
Remarkable lack of research
Considering these statistics, there is a remarkable lack of research in the diagnostic of ADHD. "In spite of the strong public interest, only very few empirical studies have addressed this issue," Prof. Schneider and Dr. Bruchm?ller point out. While in the 70s and 80s a "certain upswing" of studies on the frequency and reasons for misdiagnoses could be observed, current research hardly examines the phenomena. The current study shows that in order to avoid a misdiagnosis of ADHD and premature treatment, it is crucial for therapists not to rely on their intuition, instead to strictly adhere to defined, established diagnostic criteria. This is best possible with the help of standardized diagnostic instruments, such as diagnostic interviews.

This Week In Music: FLO Thinkery's Mark Montgomery Gives Artists ...
Mark Montgomery founded FLO Thinkery as a way to help solve many of the problems that businesses encounter, and as an investor in the Artist Growth mobile app he's recognized one of the solutions to the problem of building a career through music.
What Artist Growth does is organize an artist's entire career in one central space, from gigs to royalty payment information to social media reminders, and Montgomery believes it's a tool that will help artists manage themselves much better. "If you're building a business around your music career, it is effectively everything you need on your mobile phone," he said.
He also explained that being an artist is directly analogoius to being an entrepreneur. "If you want to build a business for your life, then don't sign up with a record company; if you want to be a star, sign up with a record company," he said. "If you want to build a business and enjoy it for your life and pass it on to your kids, don't take investment capital; if you want to build something and have an exit, take investment capital. It's not rocket science."

The One of a kind Possibilities On the Entrepreneur Nurse ? My blog
The entrepreneur nurse is really a exclusive human being. As nursing is actually a rather recession-proof career, most nurses both keep on their training to better their qualifications or fortunately proceed performing at the stage they are at. The entrepreneur is prepared to get a possibility to address a perceived niche while in the clinical and enterprise world Jordan 4 2012.
Examples
Get, as an example, the toll free nurse hotline that started off around 30 several years ago. The advertisements ended up on radio and tv, magazines, newspapers, and billboards. A nurse opted to sit by her cellular phone to response calls. The support caught on, and now most space wellness organizations host and sponsor nurse operated phone hotlines Jordan 12.
Take into consideration the individual who came up with the plan for health-related identification bracelets. These id tags have saved lots of lives considering the fact that they ended up very first promoted through the American Health-related Association in 1963. Medically correlated firms usually are not essentially all about individual obtain nike lebron 9.
Possibilities
Cyberspace is a profitable possibility in present day globe. An entrepreneur nurse can produce posts to article on their web page, and provide dwell chat for persons with health care inquiries. Phone hotlines are still often used. As a lot more persons switch into the Internet to discover solutions, a well-promoted nurse internet site might be pretty worthwhile Nike Free 3.0 v3.
The website can answer common wellness connected inquiries, or specialise in one of several a lot of locations of medication. The nurse has to able to jot down readable timely content pieces or site posts to draw website traffic to the website. Accreditations are helpful, although not demanded.
One of several difficulties of modern healthcare program is definitely the insufficient professionals to speak to. Numerous crisis space visits could be eliminated if a nurse could confirm signs and symptoms will not stage into a life threatening affliction in excess of the mobile phone or on-line. Yet another notion is producing a sensible cellphone software.
Funding
Apart from federal, state, and local grants obtainable for study, there are various countrywide organizations which are prepared to help a start-up business that should encourage and hold the health and fitness of the public. This gives a nurse with a enterprise idea much more funding opportunities than other individuals who will be minimal to small enterprise administration, neighborhood, and lender loans.
Legalities
There are lots of varieties to file for almost any new business enterprise. These contain title registration and tax identification. In combination with these, a nurse contemplating starting off her or his own organization really should talk to using a lawyer to guard on their own from liability. Company liability insurance policies choices also needs to be explored and completely understood.
Whilst most nurses will not likely intentionally give poor advice or try to defraud, misunderstandings do materialize. It is actually therefore in the most effective interest in the entrepreneur to safeguard by themselves from probable lawsuits.
As the front line of public wellness, nurses have a tendency to recognize desires ahead of any one else. If one spots a moneymaking prospect or has an idea and is also ready to go after it, she or he should really give it a try out. In combination with building a living for by themselves, they may also create a whole new technique of care that can help every person.

Researchers: Myeloid malignancies underreported in US

Change in registry protocols and laboratory practices cited
TAMPA, Fla. (March 28, 2012) Researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, Fla., and colleagues from the UF Shands Cancer Center in Gainesville, Fla., have found that cases of myeloid malignancies are being underreported since a change in registry protocols and laboratory practices starting in 2001.
Their study is published in a recent issue of Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention, a publication of the American Association for Cancer Research.
"Since the 1970s, cancer registries have monitored myeloid leukemia incidence in the United States," said study lead author Benjamin M. Craig, Ph.D., an assistant member in Moffitt's Department of Health Outcomes and Behavior. "According to data from nine Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) sites, myeloid leukemia incidence decreased from 1975 to 1989, increased from 1990 to 2000, and decreased after 2000. We hypothesize that the drop in myeloid leukemia incidence since 2001 is the result of both changes in registry protocols and practice patterns that favor the use of commercial laboratories and do not reflect changing disease patterns among the population."
"The big surprise from our findings wasn't that myeloid leukemias were missed; it was the magnitude of uncaptured cases," said Christopher R. Cogle, M.D., an associate professor of hematology and oncology in the University of Florida College of Medicine's department of medicine.
According to the authors, in 2001 SEER issued a guideline saying that "a myeloid malignancy diagnosed after a previous myeloid malignancy would not be recorded as a subsequent primary."
For the authors, this guideline shift may have reduced the registration of myeloid malignancy cases and changed the composition of registered cases, especially if some subtypes are more likely to co-occur with other subtypes.
"We conducted a retrospective, claims-based review of the SEER Medicare National Cancer Institute-sponsored database from 1999 to 2008," explained Craig.
Using the SEER-Medicare database, the researchers evaluated four claims-based programs with algorithms designed for sensitivity and specificity to get a more accurate assessment of the incidence of myeloid malignancies.
"Our primary results show that SEER registered only half of the acute myelogous leukemia (AML) cases and a third of chronic myelogous leukemia (CML) cases, and even these figures may be underestimated because the results were based on a claims-based algorithm that requires a bone marrow biopsy," said Craig. "CML is often diagnosed in the outpatient setting, which potentially circumvents registration. Additionally, registrars might have difficulty distinguishing between CML 'blast phase' and AML."
When examining databases, the researchers found that often CML cases were being coded as AML for reimbursement while CML cases that progressed to the blast phase were miscoded as AML, and that AML cases were thought to be CML cases until new cytogentic and molecular testing became available. They found that this approach agreed with the 2001 SEER guidelines that prohibit AML registration after CML registration.
The implications of their findings went beyond Medicare to suggest that specific changes are needed in the registry system, concluded the authors.
"When we analyzed the uncaptured myeloid leukemia cases, we found that many of these cases were linked to individuals already registered in SEER for another cancer," said Craig. "This problem may be resolved by requiring myeloid leukemia registration regardless of other cancer diagnoses, which is partially addressed in the updated 2010 coding rules."
The researchers agreed that a more difficult remedy to accomplish is the reliance on inpatient surveillance for myeloid leukemia incidence while the outpatient bias against registration exists, a bias causing the SEER-registered CML cases to favor moderately advanced CML cases and exclude higher and lower grade cases where patients are asymptomatic.
"The imprecise coding of myeloid leukemia as 'unspecified leukemia' or 'anemia,' and to implement myeloid leukemia treatment without confirmation by bone marrow biopsy, suggests that claims-based algorithms may miss myeloid leukemia cases," said Craig.
"U.S. cancer registries have the difficult challenge of capturing blood cancers and solid tumors. Our results beg for more resources to be committed to them," Cogle said. "Improved case capture will generate better data for policy makers, scientists, physicians and patients."

Bach To Rock Franchise
We base our method of music instruction on the knowledge that students learn best when they play the music they enjoy most. That?s why we use special arrangements of today?s music to help students become proficient instrumentalists or vocalists as well as seasoned performers. At B2R Music, individual music instruction is combined with band instruction that leads to regularly scheduled public performances, ?Battles of the Bands,? and recording sessions in our professional sound studio.
The real fun begins within just a few months of music instruction. By combining musical basics with rigorous performance standards, we enable students young and old to play together in bands, using a repertoire built upon the hit music of their generation.
As students develop their skills through music instruction, they can go any place their musical interests take them ? Rock, Pop, or Classical ? the works! Moreover, the experience of performing before audiences in bands from the beginning is an exciting component of music instruction ? building self-confidence, garnering peer recognition, and providing a strong social incentive for continued progress.
Benefits
What makes B2R a great franchising opportunity?
Breadth of revenue streams
At Bach to Rock, we teach everyone from three to ninety-three to play or sing the music they love, whether that?s rock or Bach. Our early childhood program develops the skills preschoolers need to read music, play simple rhythms and develop the fine motor control essential for future success in playing an instrument. Our senior program challenges active adults to share their love of music and enhance their own learning. And our individual, group and band programs cover everyone in between.
Our state-of-the-art recording studio encourages local bands (not just Bach to Rock bands) to share their sound with the world. Add to this birthday parties, corporate parties, and summer camp programs for a diverse revenue base. Not to mention sales of music books, guitar picks and strings, t-shirts, hats and other Bach to Rock merchandise.
We?re not one musical genre ? rock or classical. We?re not one age ? kids or adults. We are America?s Music School.
Increased need for private music instruction
With schools cutting music budgets at every turn, the need for private music instruction to fill the void is great. Combine this with Baby Boomers, the largest and wealthiest demographic in America, hitting retirement and taking up new hobbies and interests, and the demand will continue to grow.
It?s fun!
