Deaths from H1N1 swine flu climbed to 47 in New York City as of July 7th. The number of deaths increased by 9 since July 1st. There have been over 900 people hospitalized in New York City because of the swine flu. Even though the numbers are increasing the cases and deaths do not garner nearly as much attention as they did when they outbreak first began. Instead of giving press conferences the data is now updated on the NYC health Department website. New York City health Department's website can be found here.

(Health) WHO Raises Phase of Pandemic Alert to Level 5
The World health Organization raised the alert for swine flu to level five. This is one level short of a full pandemic and suggests a pandemic is imminent. Dr. Margaret Chan, WHO's director-general, said, "It really is all of humanity that is under threat during a pandemic."
There are at least 91 cases in the United States and one death. There are also a growing number of countries with mounting swine flu cases. Schools are closing in the United States in an attempt to stop the spread of the swine flu. A vaccine is in the works but won't be available until September, at the earliest. You can find links to some swine flu resources here.

(Health) Colonoscopy Best at Finding Cancer on Left Side of Colon
The Washington Post reports that the colonoscopy is much better at detecting colorectal cancer on the left side of the colon than the right. The procedure does a good job of detecting early signs of disease on the left side of the colon, or large intestine, but is not as effective at spotting potential problems of the right side of the organ. This means a colonoscopy's success at preventing colorectal cancer deaths seems to lie with its ability to uncover so-called "left-sided" problems.
"We did find that colonoscopies are effective -- that's the good news. It's still one of the best screening tests for any cancer that we have," said study author Dr. Nancy Baxter, a colorectal surgeon with St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto.
"But it's not perfect," she added. "And it does not appear to be as effective in picking up growths on the right side of the colon as it is in detecting them on the left side."
The findings are published online Dec. 16 in the Annals of Internal Medicine. That's disturbing because colon cancer can often be a killer if it isn't diagnosed early. A doctor gave one reason for the discrepancy, explaining that polyps tend to grow flatter on the right side of the colon. Doctors say it is still a great test that saves lives but patients really need a colon cancer test that is both more thorough and less invasive. The ultimate solution might be miniature robots that examine your colon but that's still a solution for the future and not available today.

At Our Bodies Our Blog today, I have a post on Resources for Evaluating health News, including links to resources that grade and critique medical journalism. There’s also a bit about conflicts of interest in medical journalism education (i.e., drug companies sponsoring “education” of journalists about treatments they make money off of).
