Notable Medical News Of 2013

is a painful and destructive disease, and it takes a huge toll on the entire body. Barring joint replacements, medication is currently the only remedy, and even though an entirely new and particularly effective class of drug was introduced over a decade ago, these medicines are still only used to mitigate the symptoms. The exact cause still eludes researchers, ergo they cannot create a medication to prevent it. The leaky gut theory, also called intestinal permeability, attempts to explain the cause of autoimmune reactions. Everyone’s bowels are made up of cells, just like the rest of the body. These cells line the walls of both the small and large intestine, and act as gatekeepers for what gets absorbed into the body and what gets expelled.

House Passes Bill Requiring Health Care Numbers

Posted: 18 Jan 2014 11:26 AM PST

“This bill is fundamentally about transparency,” said Rep. Joe Pitts, R-Pa., who insisted that the American people have a right to an accurate assessment of the law’s data. The administration opposes the measure, saying it has been providing information on enrollments and the added requirements would force it to hire new staff as government expense. Democratic Rep. John Sarbanes, D-Md., said the measure was “really designed to harass the Health and Human Services” Department. The goal of the Affordable Care Act is to expand coverage to tens of millions of Americans who lack insurance, to lower health care costs, to increase access to preventive services and to eliminate some of the pre-existing condition requirements that insurance companies have used to deny coverage.

Correction: Health Overhaul-spanish Story

Posted: 16 Jan 2014 10:53 PM PST

Spanish speakers are typically the ones who need to sign up for health insurance, said Veronica Plaza, a professor who teaches medical Spanish at the University of New Mexico. They are the ones who could use the support. In New Mexico, the state with the nations highest percentage of Latino residents and where more than 20 percent of the states population goes without health insurance, fewer than 1,000 people total signed up for coverage in October and November. In Florida, federal health officials have not said how many of the states nearly 18,000 enrollees for October and November were Latino, but that group accounts for about one-third of the roughly 3.5 million uninsured people in the state. About 1.2 million people in the state speak only Spanish. Federal officials have said that about 4 percent of calls to a national hotline were Spanish-only as of last month. The Census Bureau said in a 2013 report that 12.9 percent of the nations 317 million people speak Spanish at home, and more than half of those speak English well. Many blame at least some of the enrollment problems on the trouble-plagued site.
