This book was released on 2014-01-16 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The problems of Persian Gulf war veterans challenge the Federal Government's capacity to care. Faced with an alarming variety of symptoms and possible pathologies, the Department of Veterans Affairs and others have, since 1991, undertaken an impressive number of studies to explore the illnesses suffered by Gulf war vet- erans. But, so far, studies lead only to more studies; and clinical data yields more hypotheses than conclusions. These oversight hearings will examine how ongoing efforts to diagnose, treat and compensate Gulf war veterans can be more sharply focused and more imbued with the same sense of urgency with which we committed our troops to that war. Without that focus, without that urgency, we risk literally studying the problem to death.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Status of Efforts to Identify Persian Gulf War Syndrome: Hearings Before the Subcommittee on Human Resources and Intergovernmental Relations of the Committee on Government Reform and Oversight, House of Representatives, One Hundred Fourth Congress, Second Session I was discharged from the referral center 2 weeks later with a diagnosis of Reiters Syndrome, chronic fatigue syndrome, colitis, multiple chemical sensitivity and gastritis. I have autoimmune dis orders, brain scarring, inflammatory bowel disease, organic scar ring and multitudes of other problems. In October 1995, I was diag nosed with abnormal semen. My discharge summary states that limitations for work are no prolonged sitting or standing. My employability is severely limited by fatigue and joint pain. My pain is still excruciating and un changed. As I sit before you today, I have chest pains, headaches and painful legs and feet. If a doctor with the VA tested me right now, everything would be found within normal limits of abnormal ity. But I question what is the normal limits of abnormality for an illness the VA knows little about. With these limitations and diagnoses and no guarantee that I will have my health back, the VA refuses to give me a permanent rating on my decision. My decision rating also states that I am to tally incapacitated. When a veteran has an illness the VA knows will not improve, a permanent rating is usually given. Autoimmune diseases like mine are not curable. These illnesses will continue throughout my life. My county service officer and the American Le gion have submitted information for my permanency, but we have not heard back yet. After being diagnosed by Dr. Murphy, I was awarded compensa tion. It was the consensus of everyone that I was compensated for squeaky wheel syndrome. There is no doubt in my mind that my personal relationship with Senator Riegle and Congressman Upton moved my paperwork like lightning. My medical problems are existing and well documented, but the rest came quick. I am not here today as a trophy case for the va. I am here because of problems that I have with the va. I would also like to state that without permanent on my rating decision, my family does not receive any Chapter 35 benefits.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chronic multisymptom illness (CMI) is a serious condition that imposes an enormous burden of suffering on our nation's veterans. Veterans who have CMI often have physical symptoms (such as fatigue, joint and muscle pain, and gastrointestinal symptoms) and cognitive symptoms (such as memory difficulties). For the purposes of this report, the committee defined CMI as the presence of a spectrum of chronic symptoms experienced for 6 months or longer in at least two of six categories-fatigue, mood, and cognition, musculoskeletal, gastrointestinal, respiratory, and neurologic-that may overlap with but are not fully captured by known syndromes (such as CFS, fibromyalgia, and IBS) or other diagnoses. Despite considerable efforts by researchers in the United States and elsewhere, there is no consensus among physicians, researchers, and others as to the cause of CMI. There is a growing belief that no specific causal factor or agent will be identified. Many thousands of Gulf War veterans1 who have CMI live with sometimes debilitating symptoms and seek an effective way to manage their symptoms. Estimates of the numbers of 1991 Gulf War veterans who have CMI range from 175,000 to 250,000 (about 25-35% of the 1991 Gulf War veteran population), and there is evidence that CMI in 1991 Gulf War veterans may not resolve over time. Preliminary data suggest that CMI is occurring in veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars as well. In addition to summarizing the available scientific and medical literature regarding the best treatments for chronic multisymptom illness among Gulf War veterans, Gulf War and Health: Volume 9: Treatment for Chronic Multisymptom Illness recommends how best to disseminate this information throughout the VA to improve the care and benefits provided to veterans, recommends additional scientific studies and research initiatives to resolve areas of continuing scientific uncertainty and recommends such legislative or administrative action as the IOM deems appropriate in light of the results of its review.
Download or read book Retooling for an Aging America written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2008-08-27 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the first of the nation's 78 million baby boomers begin reaching age 65 in 2011, they will face a health care workforce that is too small and woefully unprepared to meet their specific health needs. Retooling for an Aging America calls for bold initiatives starting immediately to train all health care providers in the basics of geriatric care and to prepare family members and other informal caregivers, who currently receive little or no training in how to tend to their aging loved ones. The book also recommends that Medicare, Medicaid, and other health plans pay higher rates to boost recruitment and retention of geriatric specialists and care aides. Educators and health professional groups can use Retooling for an Aging America to institute or increase formal education and training in geriatrics. Consumer groups can use the book to advocate for improving the care for older adults. Health care professional and occupational groups can use it to improve the quality of health care jobs.
