National Psoriasis Survey Reveals Its Devastating Impact On Quality Of Life
Many of the approximately one million Canadians(i) living with psoriasis may be faced with physical or emotional challenges as they struggle with public misperceptions and stigmas of this painful, chronic immune disorder that affects the skin. Now, a Leger Marketing survey of Canadians with psoriasis, pSoriasis Knowledge IN Canada (SKIN), reveals that the debilitating skin condition presents a substantial problem for them in their daily lives. The SKIN survey, which included questions about burden of illness, revealed that two-thirds (66 per cent) of SKIN respondents agreed with the statement that psoriasis ranks among the top two illnesses in terms of its impact on quality of life (QoL) out of ten of the worst diseases, including cancer, heart disease, diabetes and arthritis.(1) Of those SKIN respondents who stated that their psoriasis "sometimes" or "very often" caused them problems in their personal or social relationships, and difficulties with normal daily activities when it was not in control, almost 60 per cent indicated that their disease was

American Nurses Association And Texas Nurses Association Speak Out Against Wrongful Prosecution Of Winkler County Nurses
The American Nurses Association (ANA), which represents the interests of the nation"s 2.9 million registered nurses, is joining forces with the Texas Nurses Association (TNA) to strongly criticize the recent indictment and prosecution of two registered nurses in Winkler County, Texas, for reporting to the Texas Medical Board their concerns about a physician"s standard of practice at the Winkler County Memorial Hospital in Kermit, Texas. ANA and TNA are gravely concerned about the chilling effect the county"s actions could have on future nurse "whistle blowers" who advocate for their patients in the nation"s hospitals. An initial hearing on the nurses" motions to dismiss the case was held July 15 in the Winkler County Courthouse but no rulings were made on any of the motions.

What Is The Function Of Lymph Nodes?
If we imagine our immune system to be a police force for our bodies, then previous work has suggested that the Lymph nodes would be the best candidate structures within the body to act as police stations - the regions in which the immune response is organised. However, a new paper - published in this week"s issue of PLoS Biology - suggests that lymph nodes are not essential in the mouse in marshalling T-cells (a main immune foot soldier) to respond to a breach of the skin barrier. This result is both surprising in itself, and suggests a novel function for the liver as an alternate site for T-cell activation.

Insured Immigrants Have Lower Medical Expenses Than Insured US-born Citizens

A nationally representative study found that immigrants spent less on medical expenses than their US-born counterparts, even after controlling for level of health insurance coverage and other confounding factors. Researchers used data for non-elderly adults ages 19-64 from the 2003 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey. They found that approximately 44 percent of recent immigrants and 63 percent of established immigrants were fully insured. Yet recent immigrants were responsible for only about 1 percent of public medical expenditures even though they constituted 5 percent of the population. "These findings suggest, contrary to stereotypes, that insurance premiums paid for immigrants may actually be cross-subsidizing the medical expenses of those who are US born," the study"s authors claimed.
