superbugs可能獸轉傳人

Antibiotic-Resistant MRSA in Livestock May Spread to Humans     "...  Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA, is a strain of staph bacteria that does not respond to antibiotics used to treat staph infections. About two out of every 100 people carry this strain of staph, according to the National Institutes of Health, and infections can be minor to severe.   ....   Once the strain infected livestock, the strain likely changed into several different types, some of which are resistant to various antibiotics, said Fitzgerald, and it is now a two-way street.    ....   The overuse of antibiotics in food animals for growth promotion allows for various strains of antibiotic-resistant bacteria   ....."

電子病歷11月上雲端

記者賴淑敏 徐啟峰 台北報導 (2011-08-07 11:56) 公視午間新聞 ... 民眾到醫院,做了抽血、電腦斷層、核磁共振等檢查,如果還要轉診到別的醫院就診,就必須複印病歷資料,不過未來不用這麼麻煩,因為衛生署將從11月起,全面實施「全國電子病歷及影像資訊網計畫」。 衛生署表示,分享的病歷類別,包括醫療影像報告,出院病歷摘要、血液檢查,及門診用藥紀錄等四大項,未來民眾到其他醫院接受治療時,只要拿健保卡,並簽署 同意書,醫師就可以透過電腦雲端連線,調閱病患在其他醫院的病歷及檢查資料,這樣不僅可避免重複用藥及檢查,也可縮短看病時間。 民間團體認為,電子病歷固然有便利性,但衛生署必須要做好加密措施、來保護病人隱私,而且透過雲端調閱病歷的費用,是否高於現在複印病歷、拷貝光碟的費用,這些衛生署都必須和民眾講清楚,以免花了錢,卻讓隱私曝光,引發更多醫療糾紛。

心臟支架在中國暴利達9倍

http://big5.soundofhope.org/programs/162/183682-1.asp

"2011年3月15日 星期二  希望之聲國際廣播電台 記者 於明 報導  ... 據大紀元報導, 中共全國政協委員董協良揭露,一個國產的心臟支架,出廠價不過3,000元,到了醫院便成了2.7萬元;一進口的心臟支架,到岸價不過6,000元,到了醫院便成了3.8萬元。...  不只是心臟支架,中國多種醫療器械也都有這樣令人咋舌的回扣「利益鏈」。食品藥品監管部門相關人員稱,醫療器械走出廠門首先要給自己找獨家代理商,才進入醫院,這中間至少經過四個環節。"

放心中國製的醫療器具耗材嗎?

中藥業界憂進口把關空談

〔自由時報 2010 Dec 20 記者王昶閔/台北報導〕六次江陳會將簽署兩岸醫藥衛生合作協議,其中包括加強中藥材檢 驗,現況「免審免檢」的進口中國中藥材,將增加把關機制,但中藥商公會全聯會秘書長陳玉利批評,政府要跟對岸談判,卻不聽產業界意見,未經充分討論,兩岸 究竟要怎麼談,業界無從得知。

中藥業界並認為,以目前中國內部管理機制匱乏與農民教育不足,隔岸源頭管理阻力重重,恐將淪為有名無實的空談。我國的中藥材高達九成從中國進口,每年約四.四噸,業界估計金額逾百億台幣,但中藥材重金屬農藥殘留問題為人所詬病,業者添加鹽水、鉛偷斤減兩,有效成分遭竊抽的弊端,也偶有所聞。 ....

陸委會文宣中所稱的「源頭管理」,其實僅要求對岸出具合乎我方標準的檢驗證明,等藥材進口到我國後,我國再進行常規的邊境檢驗與市場檢驗,發現違規即銷毀, 不准退運,也希望中方主動向我國通報不良品。 .......
