INDIA:
GLOBAL DUMPING GROUND FOR TOXIC WASTE NEW DELHI (Reuters Health) - More than 100,000 tons of potentially toxic waste entered India in 1998-1999, making a mockery of a ban on toxic waste imports imposed by the Indian Supreme Court in 1997, the international environmental group Greenpeace said in a press statement. "It seems internationally India is emerging as a favorite dumping ground for toxic wastes by the west", Nityanand Jayaraman, a Greenpeace campaigner told Reuters Health. Greenpeace compiled and analyzed data from the Indian government's own statistics, which indicate that hazardous and potentially hazardous wastes have been flooding India for years. On May 5, 1997, India's Supreme Court prohibited the imports of all hazardous wastes. To read the rest visit: http://news.excite.com/news/r/000915/15/health-waste
MARYLAND
NURSING SHORTAGE Maryland hospitals are facing the most severe nursing shortage in a decade--a vacancy rate that appears to be far greater than the national average, according to a survey released yesterday by the state's hospital association.

FDA
APPROVES ATRISORB FORT COLLINS, CO -- September 14, 2000 -- Atrix Laboratories, Inc. announced that the company has received marketing clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its Atrisorb® FreeFlow guided tissue regeneration (GTR) barrier with the antibiotic doxycycline. The new product advances current GTR therapy by inhibiting microbial growth that can impair healing. Block Drug Corporation has the right to market the new product in the United States. As a result of FDA clearance, Atrix has earned an additional milestone payment from Block. For the whole story: http://www.pslgroup.com/dg/1e10aa.htm
TORONTO, ON -- September 14, 2000 -- Eli Lilly Canada Inc. announced Health Canada's approval of Actos™ (pioglitazone hydrochloride), a new oral treatment that effectively manages glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes. Health Canada also recognized that many patients with diabetes, treated with Actos in clinical trials, exhibited improved lipid levels. Current research has proven that effective management of lipid levels in this patient group can significantly reduce the risk of heart disease - the leading cause of death among people with type 2 diabetes. "Eighty percent of people with diabetes die of some form of heart or blood vessel disease," said Dr. Amir Hanna, Staff Endocrinologist at St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto, and Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of Toronto. "That is why a novel drug such as Actos that not only effectively treats type 2 diabetes, but may also reduce the risk of heart disease in this high-risk population, is such a powerful tool." Actos' effect on the blood-lipid profile is unique in that it is the only oral medication for type 2 diabetes that not only effectively lowers blood glucose but also raises the good cholesterol (HDL), while lowering triglycerides and not increasing the bad cholesterol levels (LDL).

Scientists believe they are close to developing a vaccine for cancer, and plan to begin trials later this year. The vaccine has proved effective on mice in stopping the growth of all cancer tumors. The vaccine is based on gene therapy and appears to wake up the body's immune system encouraging it to attack and kill cancer tumors. See the full article at: http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/health/newsid_896000/896438.stm
Scientists at Tufts University School of Medicine (Boston) are reporting significant increases in blood flow to the hearts of seriously ill patients by injecting the gene for vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) into areas of dead or unresponsive heart muscle. The results, reported in the latest issue of Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association, show that the heart muscle was not dead, but merely hibernating, and that injecting the VEGF gene can stimulate angiogenesis in such areas. "To my knowledge, this is the first study using objective findings that has demonstrated improvement in blood flow to the heart using gene therapy," says the study's senior author, Jeffrey M. Isner, professor of medicine and pathology. "There has been great concern about whether gene therapy works. This is very solid evidence that it does."

Claim
Life, Liberty And The Pursuit of Happiness - Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is great sounding. Look around nurses, how is your life? Had any liberty, or, pray tell, time to pursue happiness? Think on these key American ideals. What is your nursing life like today? What kind of independence has nursing brought to you? Have you made the best of all that it has to offer? Is nursing, for example, like the life you sought? Are you getting the on-going thrill that you thought you would? Does some other field, career or job now seem more suitable for your yearnings? Is your personal life messed up, boring, frustrating, or out of your control? If so, listen up ... You can have a better personal and/or professional life. How? Get busy and plan and claim it as there is no job or field without problems and frustrations. Just ask around and you will find this to be universally true. There are a few quick steps, however, to getting, gaining, and claiming an improved life at work and at home.

With the down fall of so many long term care companies and an increasing number of acute care centers failing, it's time we nurses get out the vote. In an effort to help demonstrate our strength, the ANA is planning "Nurses Can '00". The ANA is calling for nurses throughout the U.S. to become involved by volunteering in the political campaign of your choice. Nurses Campaign Activity Night is scheduled for October 24th. Pick any candidate you like at any level of government, volunteer and be sure to identify yourself as a nurse. We applaud the ANA for this great activity and we will promote this program through all our Internet resources. But more importantly, you must vote!. We have become too apathetic and our industry is in crisis. Of even more concern, our profession may be on the verge extinction. With the declining enrollments in nursing programs (down five consecutive years) and the ever increasing age of practicing nurses (less than 10% are under 30), we are seeing more and more professional nursing replacements trying to "take up the slack". As we have read time and again, when you take an unlicensed assertive person and have them fill the position of an RN, negative outcomes are realized. You must find out how the local, state and federal politicians stand on the subject of health care and if they have plans to help solve the nursing crisis. Have they even thought about it? Then vote, and encourage all your colleagues to do the same. This may be the most important political year of our careers, don't let it slip by.
I have a question? Why are hospitals using UAPs (Unlicensed Assertive Personnel) and not LPNs? I'd love to hear your feedback on the subject. This seems like a natural place to turn in times like these. No they're not RNs, but their training far exceeds that of a UP, they are licensed by the state to meet minimum competency levels. Be sure to indicate in your note if I can publish your response and the type of credit(s) you want applied (such as your name, company, web address, e-mail, etc.). Send to info@nurse-recruiter.com.
Tell us what's on your mind and find out how hundreds of others feel about it. You can be as controversial as you like, but it must be about nursing. It's simple, just write us at info@nurse-recruiter.com.
