NEW MACHINE DESTROYS TUMORS BETTER, FASTER AND CLOSER TO HOME

By Karla Oceanak Poudre Valley Health System

I

t can zap any tumor, anywhere.

That’s the remarkable promise of Poudre Valley Health System’s new cancer radiation machine.

Called a TrueBeam™ STx linear accelerator, the equipment is the first of its kind in Colorado. It is widely regarded as the most advanced lin-

ear accelerator in the world.

“It can do everything that CyberKnife® does — and more,” said Dr. Joshua Petit, a radiation oncologist with PVH Radiation Oncology.

“There is no longer any reason for a northern Colorado cancer patient to travel to Denver for radiation therapy.”

The TrueBeam STx was recently installed at PVHS’ Harmony Campus in Fort

Collins as part of a $7.1 million expansion of its radiation oncology department.

The new technology required a four-month quality assurance testing process, which has been completed

by PVHS’ team of radiation physicists. Petit and his colleagues are now treating the first patients with the machine.

A linear accelerator delivers targeted radiation to kill cancer cells. While both healthy tissue and cancer cells are affected by radiation, healthy cells can adapt and regenerate. Cancer cells, on the other hand, are

destroyed. In addition to conventional radiation treatment, TrueBeam STx performs stereotactic body radiotherapy and stereotactic radiosurgery, which destroy tumors but involve no actual surgery.

The most significant difference between the TrueBeam STx and older linear accelerators is that the TrueBeam STx is ultra-precise.

It pinpoints radiation with sub-millimeter accuracy, making it possible to radiate brain and other precariously-located tumors without destroying nearby healthy tissue. The TrueBeam STx

even compensates for patient movement, so that lung tumors, for example, can be accurately radiated even as the patient continues breathing normally.

The TrueBeam STx is also faster, quieter and more comfortable. A treatment session that may have taken 30 minutes on older equipment now takes five. Most TrueBeam STx patients will be in and out of PVH Radiation Oncology in just a few minutes a day.

To receive treatment, a patient simply lies still on the machine’s padded bench (much like the examination

table in a doctor’s office) while doctors position the TrueBeam STx’s treatment head, which is shaped like a large, white faucet, several feet over the patient. The treatment head moves from side to side as it delivers the radiation dose.

The TrueBeam STx can be used to treat virtually any type of cancer in any location on the body, Petit explained.

“Not all cancer patients are candidates for stereotactic radiosurgery on the TrueBeam STx, however,” he said. “Talk to your radiation oncologist to understand if it’s right for you.”

We know pets are beneficial to our health — they can lower a person’s blood pressure, cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and provide opportunities for exercise and socialization.

In some cases, the source of the benefits is obvious.

You walk a dog for two miles, you’ll be in better shape. But some of the reported benefits are baffling.

A 10-year study at the University of Minnesota Stroke Center found cat owners were 40 percent less likely to have heart attacks than non-cat owners. Could a cat’s purr be the reason?

“Cats will purr when they’re

content, but also they’ll purr when they’re about to be euthanized. It’s thought they purr to communicate with their kittens,” says author and animal behavior consultant Steve Dale. “It’s thought to be a calming mechanism.

“If that’s the case ... maybe they calm themselves or other cats, but maybe there’s a fallout and there’s another mammal species, us, that’s impacted.”

In another study, conducted at Kean University in New Jersey, subjects watched a “Lassie” movie. Their levels of cortisol — a chemical associated with stress — were checked before and after the film, and showed a decline after the movie.

PAYING THE RIGHT PRICE Bill in Legislature could change the way hospitals charge the uninsured

By Ann Imse Colorado Public News

Colorado hospitals charge their highest prices to the poorest, uninsured patients. That practice is now likely to end by late summer.

Most people don’t know that hospitals charge different prices to different people for the same procedure. “There’s price discrimination,” says state Sen. Irene Aguilar. She likened it to pricing a box of cereal at $1.50 for one person and $2 for someone else.

Aguilar is the force behind a bill to limit hospital charges to the lowincome uninsured. The Denver Democrat has won support from the Colorado Hospital Association and Republicans. The bill passed out of the Senate on a 28-6 vote.

The strange story of hospital billing practices came into being because insurance companies and federal Medicare and Medicaid programs negotiate lower prices for their patients.

“The uninsured are charged more than the insured, because they simply do not have the bargaining power,” said Debra Judy of the Colorado Consumer Health Initiative, another backer of the bill.

Here’s an example: A patient went to the emergency room at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Denver for back pain and was billed $1,000.

When the patient finally persuaded the billing department that he was insured, he was told his insurance company only had to pay $212 for the same service. His co-pay was $200. The insurance company paid $12.

Exempla spokeswoman Debbie Welle-Powell explained in an email: “The federal government requires

that we charge all (payers) the same rates; however, payers pay differently. Some payers are able to negotiate significant discounts, while others may not have the negotiating clout.”

Aguilar’s bill would make hospitals give their best price, not their worst, to the low-income uninsured. That could cut their bills by half, or even more.

Medicare data shows Colorado hospitals now charge nearly 400 percent of costs on average, though they don’t collect that much. It’s estimated the legislation would let the low-income uninsured pay the lowest price paid by a private insurer, which is closer to 100 to 150 percent of costs.

The limits will apply to individuals with incomes at 250 percent of poverty level. That’s $27,925 for a single person and $57,625 for a family of four.

The bill also requires hospitals to tell patients about their financial aid and payment plans. Many don’t publicize them now. Hospitals also would be required to give patients 30 days after a late payment before sending bills to collections agencies.

“This is just going to be such a positive change,” said Ailsa Wonnacott, whose family would have benefited from such a rule. She was born in America but raised in Britain, where health care is free. Just three days after arriving in the U.S. as an adult, her son had a seizure and fell. They had to rush to the emergency room, and had no insurance.

The Wonnacott family was offered a discount for paying immediately. So they did. And they thought they were done. It was only months later that they discovered

Ailsa Wonnacott in dealing with hospital bills she can’t pay because she is disabled. Wonnacott, head of the Association for Community Living in Boulder County, testified in favor of a bill that would make hospitals help uninsured patients receive lower bills, aid and payment plans. thousands of dollars in additional bills for the hospital visit had never reached them in temporary quarters, and the bills had gone to collection. “My husband’s credit rating was trashed,” just as they were trying to buy a house, Wonnacott said.

If this legislation had been in place, she would have been told about the charity care program. It’s not quite clear if she’d have been told about the other bills associated with the hospital visit.

Wonnacott now works as the executive director of The Association for Community Living in Boulder County, where many of the working developmentally disabled clients struggle with hospital bills they can’t possibly pay. Typically, no one told them about a charity care program, a payment plan or applying for federal aid, Wonnacott said.

Recently, she was helping a disabled client, Linda Conlin, sort out stacks of medical bills and call

the debt collectors. The hospitals should have signed up Linda for Medicaid. She qualifies, and it would have covered many of her expenses.

All of this trouble could be avoided with this legislation, Wonnacott said. And the hospitals would get paid more, if people had realistic options for paying, she added.

If that doesn’t happen, the legislation might raise prices to the better-off uninsured, and to people with insurance.

Aguilar won Republican support in part due to legislators’ own experience with strange hospital bills.

Rep. Kevin Lundberg, R-Berthoud, told the Senate hearing about a relative’s bill being inexplicably discounted from $64,000 to $4,000.

“It’s just nuts,” he said. “I’m not sure if this is the cure, but the problem is unquestionable.”

Sen. Shawn Mitchell, R-Broomfield, was similarly interested in the problem, though he had a different solution. “I would prefer mandating a uniform list of prices that were publicly available.” Then customers could compare, he said.

Aguilar smiled in response and said, “Nobody knows what anything costs.” Hospital pricing has long been obscure, she said. A state database now being compiled is the first time anyone will have any sense of pricing.

Exempla, which runs four hospitals in Grand Junction, Lafayette and Denver, said it supported the bill because “it is consistent with our mission to care for the underserved,” Welle-Powell said. Exempla, run by the Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth, has a policy of providing free care for patients with up to 200 percent of the federal poverty level and subsidies for patients earning up to 400 percent.

That would be free for families of four with incomes up to $46,100 and subsidies for up to $92,200.

CONSUMPTION MISCONCEPTIONS

Many assume underage drinking is common, but numbers tell a different tale

By Joshua Espinoza jespinoza@greeleytribune.com

W

e’ve all heard it before: Everybody’s doing it.

In the realm of high school, this saying is a common and fairly persuasive argument in conversations dealing with substance abuse, particularly alcohol consumption. It’s no secret the power of peer pressure and conformity can lead young people to behave in ways they would normally avoid — all in the effort to be a part of the “in crowd.”

With high school students gearing up for prom events and other social activities this year, the perceptions students have about how often and when their peers drink take on greater relevance.

Those perceptions, of course, don’t always conform to reality.

According to the 2010 Healthy Kids Colorado Survey, which surveyed about 1,700 Weld high schoolers, 78 percent of the participants said they believed a typical student at their school had used alcohol in the past 30 days. And 68 percent said they believed a typical student at their school had engaged in binge drinking in the past 30 days. Binge drinking refers to having five or more alcoholic beverages within a couple of hours, according to the survey. Every two years, randomly selected high schools are chosen to participate in a state administration of the survey. Results for 2012 will be

FOR THE TRIBUNE/Windsor High School

THIS DEFY POSTER BLITZ demonstrates some of the efforts undertaken by a group of students at Windsor High School to change perceptions about underage drinking. available later in the summer.

Those perceptions would be alarming if they were a reality.

Though most students assume the majority of their peers are consuming alcohol and engaging in binge drinking, the same survey resulted in numbers that were contrary: Only 41.2 percent of students said they had consumed alcohol in the past 30 days, and 27

percent said they had engaged in binge drinking in the past 30 days, proving the majority of students are not engaging in alcohol use.

Enter the Defy Street Team, a group of 18 students at Windsor High School that has taken the “everybody’s doing it” premise and used it in the effort to prevent underage drinking among other teens.

“Defy is certainly one of our biggest success stories,” said Nomie Ketterling of Weld County Prevention Partners, an organization that promotes and implements strategies to prevent underage drinking.

“It’s an evidence-based project that we call ‘social norming.’ It’s really a pilot project, one that has shown some real successes.”

Created in 2008, Defy started

as a collaborative effort between Weld County Prevention Partners and Windsor school administrators who wanted to know if alcohol was, indeed, a problem at the school like many believed. So in addition to taking the Healthy Kids Colorado Survey, the school also compiled its own smaller-scale survey — which Turn to Drinking on P.8

GROUP WORKS TO SPREAD THE TRUTH Drinking from P.7

found students perceived, on average, that 81 percent of the kids in school drank within the past 30 days, said Dick Thomas, Windsor assistant principal and faculty adviser for Defy. In reality, only 35 percent of students surveyed said they had consumed alcohol in the past 30 days.

“Some people would say that because the majority of kids don’t use alcohol, we don’t have a problem,” Thomas said. “But there are others who say that 35 percent do report they use regularly so there is a problem. We have about 1,100 students here, and if you times that by 35 percent, you get a decent number. So

it’s this group of kids who are hoping to bring that number down even more.”

However, Thomas said there’s a lot to celebrate in those numbers, which proves to students not everybody is doing it. In fact, most aren’t. Because of this, the group encourages the majority of students to defy perceptions many have had about the school. It reassures them they are not alone in their decisions to abstain from drinking.

“Coming in as a freshman, everyone in every class would ask about your weekend and whether you drank and partied. And even if you didn’t, you just made up a story to seem cool,” said Windsor junior Katie Cogburn, a member of the street team. “Defy shows the real situations, what’s
