Liability in breast cancer screening.

The U.S. breast cancer mortality rate has risen over the past 29 years in women 50 years of age and older. This is surprising in light of the fact that the disease is curable when detected early through mammography together with clinical breast examinations (CBE). One major problem is that many women are not being screened. Only about one-third of women 50 years of age and older are receiving yearly screening mammograms, despite published guidelines. Regarding CBE, more women are receiving them, but there is room for improvement. The main reasons given by women for not having a mammogram are: 1) their physicians did not recommend it; 2) they did not know they needed one; or 3) they did not have any breast problems. These responses reflect a lack of awareness of breast cancer screening recommendations and indicate that women are not being given adequate information about breast cancer from their physicians. This paper will explore the medical malpractice literature in order to discuss the question of whether physicians should be liable for failing to inform their female patients.

Incubation periods for paediatric AIDS patients.

A recent seroprevalence study of newborns indicates that one in 62 children born in New York City has antibodies to the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The distribution of incubation periods for paediatric patients is needed to estimate future AIDS case loads from these seroprevalence data. Current estimates of incubation periods for paediatric patients are based on limited data. We use parametric and non-parametric methods to analyse incubation periods for 215 paediatric patients with AIDS whose only known route of infection is maternal. We conclude that incubation periods are longer than previously reported; that there is a distinct knee in the incubation period distribution at seven months which suggests two risk populations; and that there is an increase in incidence which is consistent with exponential growth.
