  • FDA Alerts Physicians of Increased Fracture Risks from Fosamax Earlier this week, the FDA announced that physicians need to watch for the possibility of femur fractures in patients taking Fosamax, a drug primarily used to treat osteoporosis and to.  A femur fracture is an injury to the thigh bone, one of the strongest bones in the body, and usually occurs when a large amount of force is applied to the area.  However, patients who have taken Fosamax for a couple of years have experienced femur fractures when very little force has been exerted on the area.  Consider this patient’s case from a study published in Geriatrics in 2009: A 59-year-old-woman took a step, her right leg gave out,and she fell to the ground as she heard her leg break.  Her femur was fractured.  The orthopedic surgeon on call told her, “We don’t usually see this type of fracture without trauma.”  For the preceding year she’d experienced pain in her right thigh, which was severe enough to cause limping. An x-ray had been ....
  • Nursing Homes Continue to Use Inappropriate Anti-Psychotic Drugs According to the Boston Globe’s recent analysis, about 2,500 nursing home residents in Massachusetts were given powerful antipsychotic drugs last year that were not appropriate for their medical condition. In many cases, the medications were given due to the lack of behavior management techniques, experience or manpower in nursing homes to handle agitated patients. This trend of increased antipsychotic drug use is very worrisome because a large number of nursing home residents suffer from dementia. Dementia patients taking antipsychotic drugs, also known as psychotropic drugs, have an increased risk of death.  Psychotropic drugs are intended to treat patients with mental illnesses such as schizophrenia. Officials in the Massachusetts Senior Care Association state that the state’s rank of frequency of use of psychotropic drugs, 12th in the nation, points to a need for more training in nursing homes.  As Robert Stern, an Alzheimer’s specialist and brain ....
  • Illinois Medical Malpractice Claims and Payouts Stable, Contrary to Insurance Company Claims In 2005, Illinois enacted a law that was just struck down which placed a $500,000 cap on non-economic damages recoverable by patients against doctors and a $1,000,000 cap in cases against hospitals in medical malpractice cases.  Although the caps were recently overturned by the Illinois Supreme Court, proponents of the caps argued that malpractice claims and verdicts have been rising rapidly, driving doctors out of Illinois and raising health care costs.  However, insurance company data prove these assertions to be false. Although an increased numbers of medical malpractice claims have been reported, this increase is not due to an increase in filing of cases but due to a change in how the claims are accounted.  Before 2003, ISMIE, Illinois’ largest medical malpractice insurer, counted a claim involving an insured doctor and medical corporation as one claim.  However, in 2003, the reporting system was altered and the doctor and corporation claim was counted as ....
  • Confusion between Maalox Brand Products May Lead to Serious Medical Errors Recently, the FDA notified consumers and healthcare professionals about reports of serious medical errors where patients had mistakenly used Maalox Total Relief, when they intended to use a Maalox liquid antacid.  Both products are available without a prescription, but are not interchangeable. Consumers were confusing traditional Maalox with Maalox Total Relief, an anti-diarrhea medication that contains strong drug ingredients which may cause internal bleeding. Traditional Maalox uses a gentler formula which helps neutralize stomach acid. Due to the confusion, Novartis, the manufacturer of Maalox, has agreed to change the name and packaging of the potent medication Maalox Total Relief. The FDA has announced that children and teenagers recovering from illness should not take the higher-strength Maalox. The higher-strength Maalox can also negatively interact with certain medications, such as oral antidiabetic drugs, anti-inflammatory drugs like aspirin, and the blood thinners ....
  • Residents of Nursing Home Go Clubbing as Biker Gang Nursing home residents at Bethesda Retirement Center in Chicago usually spend their time knitting or quilting. One day, they decided to try something different, and headed out to Evil Olive nightclub dressed as a biker gang.  After recruiting hairstylists, make-up artists, professional costumers and tattoo artists, the seniors got transformed for their night of fun. The event at the Evil Olive was attended by over 100 people, including members of the Latino American Motorcycle Association and Chicago’s Chapter of A.B.A.T.E. The nursing home residents were even able to raise money to help purchase a touch screen computer for the retirement center for internet use. ....
