Implantable Heart Defibrillator Prolongs Life Expectancy

Implantable Heart Defibrillator Prolongs Life Expectancy.
Implantable verve defibrillators aimed at preventing unannounced cardiac death are as effective at ensuring patient survival during real-world use as they have proven to be in studies, researchers report. The inexperienced finding goes some way toward addressing concerns that the carefully monitored circumspection offered to patients participating in well-run defibrillator investigations may have oversold their tied up benefits by failing to account for how they might perform in the real-world. The study is published in the Jan 2, 2013 conclusion of the Journal of the American Medical Association.

So "Many people subject how the results of clinical trials apply to patients in routine practice," lead author Dr Sana Al-Khatib, an electrophysiologist and colleague of the Duke Clinical Research Institute in Durham, NC, acknowledged in a gazette news release. "But we showed that patients in real-world practice who receive a defibrillator, but who are most probable not monitored at the same level provided in clinical trials, have similar survival outcomes compared to patients who received a defibrillator in the clinical trials".

The American Oncologists Work More Than 50 Hours Per Week

The American Oncologists Work More Than 50 Hours Per Week.
Most cancer doctors are satisfied with their career, but nearly half pronounce they have expert at least one indication of work-related burnout, a new study finds in June 2013. Researchers surveyed 3000 US oncologists between October 2012 and January 2013, and found that they worked an undistinguished of 51 hours a week. Oncologists in erudite medical centers saw an average of 37 cancer patients per week, while those in withdrawn practice saw an average of 74 patients per week. Those in scholarly settings spent much of their time doing research and teaching.

While 83 percent of the oncologists in the on said they were satisfied with their career, 45 percent reported experiencing at least one grapheme of burnout, including emotional exhaustion and depersonalization. The study was presented Sunday at the annual intersection of the American Society of Clinical Oncology in Chicago.
