Steep Rise In At Home Deaths As Patients Fail To Manage Their Medications
�The sad loss of 28-year one-time movie worker Heath Ledger in January this year, who died from an
accidental overdose of a prescription do drugs, brought to public attention the potential dangers of patients
managing their possess medications, which when combined with alcoholic beverage and street drugs, has resulted in
a more than 3,000 per cent rear in rest home deaths due to medication errors, aforementioned US researchers in a
new study.
The study is published on-line in the 28th July issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine and was
the work of sociology and biology researchers at the University of California, San Diego.
The motive for the study was that scorn the increasing trend for medications to be consumed outside
of clinical settings without professional supervision, on that point have been few studies on medication errors
outside of clinical settings.
Principal writer David P Phillips, professor of sociology at UC San Diego, and colleagues
said:
"Increasingly, people take their medications at home, out from hospitals and clinics. But nigh
studies of fatal medication errors have focused on those clinical settings. We wanted to know threesome
things: how many of these fatal errors find at home; how many involve alcoholic beverage and/or street drugs;
and are these numbers sledding up?"
For the study, the researchers examined all US death certificates from 1st January 1983 to thirty-first
December 2004 (over 49.5 one thousand thousand), and especially those citing fatal medicinal drug errors (FMEs, nearly
225 thousand).
They classified the deaths into 4 types of FME: domestic or non-domestic, with and without
alcohol/street drugs and examined them with deference to the relative grandness of alcohol or street
drugs and the congener likelihood of professional supervising in the use of the medications.
The four FME types were:
Type 1 = domestic FMEs combined with alcohol and/or street drugs,
Type 2 = domestic FMEs not involving alcohol and/or street drugs,
Type 3 = nondomestic FMEs combined with alcohol and/or street drugs, and
Type 4 = nondomestic FMEs not involving alcohol and/or street drugs.
The results showed that:
Overall FME death rate went up by 360.5 per cent during the 1983 to 2004 period.
This is an order of magnitude higher than the 33.2 per cent for deaths from adverse medication
effects, and 40.9 per centime for deaths from alcohol and/or street drugs.
The increases in FME varied markedly by type, with Type 1 showing the largest, Type 4 the smallest,
and Types 2 and 3 somewhere in between.
FME Type 1 showed the largest increment: 3,196 per cent.
FME Type 4 showed the smallest increase: 5 per cent.
FME Type 2 increased by 564 per cent.
FME Type 3 increased by 555 per cent.
The researchers concluded that "domestic FMEs combined with alcohol and/or street drugs have
go an increasingly important health problem compared with other FMEs", adding that:
"These findings suggest that a shift in the location of medication consumption from clinical to domestic
settings is linked to a steep increase in FMEs."
They suggested deaths due to fatal medication errors could be brought down by direction
interventions not only on clinical only also on domestic settings.
"It also seems advisable to expand research on medication errors. Much of this research has focused
on elderly patients and clinical settings. The present findings suggest that more research should be
devoted to middle-aged patients and domestic settings," they added.

Drugs."

Acacia Strain 'Mature' For Apocalyptic Continent; Plus Overcast, Carcass & More News That Rules, In Metal File
Vincent Bennett, frontman for Massachusetts metallers the Acacia Strain, knows he can't sing, and he's perfectly fine with that. If he's not belching out his lyrics, he's not opening his mouth onstage or in the studio. Cleaning up his gut-spewing vocal style simply isn't an option for him — even if he did want to embrace the trend, like so many of his contemporaries have.
"To be honest, I've never thought about doing that," Bennett confessed last week, as the band's van was making its way through Oregon, where Acacia had to stop as an unexpected blizzard passed. "I just don't see us as that kind of band — at all. It's one of those things where a lot of bands do it, and they get away with it and it sounds really f---ing good and kids are psyched on it. Then there's those bands that do it, and everybody gets really f---ing bummed. I just don't ever see us being that kind of band. I understand that if we did do it, we might sell some more records, or if I sang about Jesus and being in love all the time, how we might sell some more records. But that's not the kind of band we are. I think our fans would be bummed out if we even tried to do that. Hell, I'd be bummed out."
So, basically, don't expect any sea changes on the band's forthcoming LP, Continent, which the group recently finished tracking and which is scheduled for an August 19 release. But you can expect to hear a more mature Acacia Strain, he said.
"We sound pretty much the same, but we change things up at the same time," he said. "The old fans will definitely think in their head, 'This is the Acacia Strain,' but the new people, and even people who weren't fans before, they'll come away from it saying, 'Wow, they really did mature as a band.' We have changed a lot of influences for the new record, so it's pretty different for everybody in the band. I'm excited about it."
Produced by Zeuss (Shadows Fall, Hatebreed), Continent will include the cuts "Dr. Doom" and "Skynet." It is Acacia's "darkest" effort to date, said Bennett, and even features the Human Furnace, of Ringworm fame, on the track "Baby Buster."
"For this record, I basically exiled myself from everything just to write the lyrics," Bennett explained. "It's definitely the most work we've put into a record, and it's the only record that I'm actually excited to say I'm proud of."
Continent is a conceptual work of sorts: The lyrics revolve around a single man who has a disastrous effect on the rest of humankind.
"It's about a person purposely pulling themselves away from everything, and exiling themselves from humanity — just sitting back and watching," he said. "And then, this person comes back to the forefront, and becomes the apocalyptic reason for the end of the world. This one person just completely wipes out everything — all life on the planet — and ends up being the last person to survive all of this. So, he just walks the Earth for the rest of his life, alone."
Writing material for Continent did present numerous challenges, Bennett said. But the biggest struggle for Acacia was coming up with "original ideas — especially given the genre we're in. The market's basically flooded, and coming up with new ideas that bands haven't already done, or bands aren't currently doing, it's just really rough.
"We're just trying to pull through and make our own way," the vocalist continued. "We're not trying to reinvent the wheel, and we're not coming out saying, 'We're the most original band of our genre.' But we are trying to breathe new life into it. A lot of bands out there are just nailing the coffin shut on the whole extreme music industry, and we're trying not to do that. It's such a mess now. Everybody's band is getting signed, and there are 500 bands on each label, and they're all doing the same thing. It's hard to do sh-- that hasn't been done, so we're just trying to mix it up a little bit."
This fall, Bennett said, the Acacia Strain will be touring ad nauseam — first, as an opening act, and then, closer to the end of the year, heading out for a headlining run of their own. He wouldn't discuss the band's touring plans at length, because both tours were still being mapped out and confirmed. But whenever Acacia is done logging miles, Bennett said, he'll return to his other band, Co--punch.
"The dudes are at home right now, and they'll be recording some stuff while I'm out on the road, and then I'll just go back and record vocals," he said. "We're going to be putting out a 10 7-inch series over the next year, and we're doing an album of covers. We want to do 'Wolverine Blues' by Entombed, 'Mandibles' by E. Town Concrete, and we're going to do a NOFX cover, and a Misfits cover.
"Co--punch is my fun band," he said. "It helps me get away from the mediocrity of serious touring life. It's my hobby band — it's always good to have something on the side, to just get away from it all."
The rest of the week's metal news:
In case you missed it, MTV News was in San Antonio, Texas, last weekend, for the Sacrifice of the Nazarene Child festival, where Profanatica performed for the first time since 2001. ...
Perhaps the week's best news came on Wednesday, when it was revealed that the reunited Carcass had finally booked a U.S. gig. Necrophagist, Aborted and Suffocation will open for Carcass on September 6 in New York. Tickets go on sale July 11. The band is expected to announce additional American dates in the coming months. ...
Finally, reunited metallers Overcast have cemented a release date for their Reborn to Kill Again set, which will feature re-recorded versions of more than a dozen of the influential band's classic tunes, along with two previously unreleased tracks. The effort will drop August 19 through Metal Blade Records, nearly two years after it was recorded. ...
Glenn Danzig's annual Blackest of the Black tour returns this October, with Danzig headlining, of course. Dimmu Borgir, Moonspell, Winds of Plague and Skeletonwitch have been tapped as direct support. The trek gets under way October 9 in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, and runs through November 10 in San Francisco. ...
Thrash outfit Warbringer are on the hunt for a new drummer after amicably parting with Ryan Bates recently. Bates will vacate following their scheduled tour dates. Think you could take over behind the kit? Head on over to the band's MySpace page, and let 'em know you're interested. ...
Himsa have called it quits after 10 years as a band. "Having sacrificed everything we had in order to ensure the band's survival, it's time to let it go," the band said in a statement. "We're getting along, we've toured, and we're fine. It's all good. We're leaving it at that." Himsa play their final show August 16 at the El Corazon in their native Seattle.

Best remembered for his Oscar-winning piles to A Man and a Woman and Sexual love Story, composer Francis Lai was born April 26, 1932, in Nice, France. After poring over piano as a child, he later ascertained jazz and during the 1950s followed friend and isaac M. Singer Claude Goaty to Paris, finally settling in Montmartre. At the local Taverne d'Attilio, Lai met Bernard Dimey, with whom he collaborated on well over century songs; a brief stint in Michel Magne's orchestra preceded his tenure as accompanyist for Edith Piaf, for whom Lai as well composed a number of songs as good. He made his film debut in 1964 with the score to Roger Vadim's remake of Max Ophuls' classic La Ronde, and deuce days later composed the music for Jean-Luc Godard's Masculin/Feminin; however, it was his solve on Claude Lelouch's 1966 strike A Man and a Woman which elevated Lai to international fame, and in addition to earning an Academy Award, he toothed a perennial gentle hearing front-runner with the picture's Brazilian-inflected title air. He south Korean won a second Oscar for the 1970 Arthur Hiller blockbuster Love Story, and the film's theme, "Where Do I Begin?," too became a Top 40 arrive at for Andy Williams, Henry Mancini, and even Lai himself. Although the composer ne'er over again reached the same commercial heights, he continued functional regularly in the picture palace, oftentimes in concurrence with director Lelouch, and composed a figure of instrumental favorites, including "Today It's You," "Glad New Year," and "Love in the Rain."
