Changing face of Medicare. As the popular administrator prepares to make his exit, providers shouldn't expect much change in direction by his replacement.

With Mark McClellan poised to exit the CMS, names of possible successors are already being floated in Washington, including CMS executive Herb Kuhn, left. Observers say whoever takes the job will face some tough challenges, and they don't expect much policy to change with Bush still in the White House. "We will continue to see what has effectively been gridlock" on many major healthcare issues, one said.

Comparison of two popular methods for removal and killing of bacteria from dentures.

A study was undertaken to compare the efficacy of a soaking solution (Efferdent Extra-Strength Denture Cleanser Tablets) to mechanical cleaning with a denture paste (Advanced Formula Dentu-Creme Denture Cleaning Paste) to remove and kill plaque bacteria from removable dentures. The study was conducted in a randomized, four-way crossover fashion with 18 subjects. At each clinic visit, subjects were randomized to one of four treatment regimens: 1) no treatment; 2) brushing with denture paste; 3) soaking in Efferdent; 4) brushing followed by soaking in Efferdent. Microbiological sampling for plaque bacteria was made before and after each treatment. Aliquot samples of 10-fold serial dilutions were plated on supplemented Schaedler Agar (for total anaerobes) and on CVE agar (for fusobacteria). Analysis of covariance was performed on the log10 transformed scores at posttreatment using the pre-treatment scores as covariates. Significant treatment effects were: F(3,41) = 81.60, p less than 0.001 for anaerobes and F(3,50) = 104.38, p less than 0.001 for fusobacteria. Pairwise comparisons using Tukey hsd post hoc tests showed that for total anaerobes, treatments 1 and 2 yielded higher scores than treatments 3 and 4. For fusobacteria, treatment 1 greater than 2 greater than 3 or 4; no difference between treatments 3 and 4. The results demonstrated the superior performance of Efferdent over Dentu-Creme.

[Incidence and causes of typical injuries in popular sports].

The increasing participation in extensive athletics and leisure time activities correlates with increasing sport injuries. The surgeons tasks include being involved in preventing sport injuries and ensuring a correct diagnosis, as well as providing adequate surgical therapy. After sport injuries, the true diagnosis can be obscured by functional compensation. Therefore the case history and analysis of the trauma mechanism are important for an adequate surgical therapy.
