All of these top hospitals share eight common characteristics that drive their ability to deliver fast, effective treatment to patients with ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI). This study has direct and important information for hospitals around the country.

Harlan M. Krumholz

His leukemia cannot be treated in Haiti. After his treatment, he has to return to face justice.

Michel Brunache

Every morning I woke in dread, waiting for the day nurse to go on her rounds and announce from the list of names in her hand whether or not I was for shock treatment, the new and fashionable means of quieting people and of making them realize that orders are to be obeyed and floors are to be polished without anyone protesting and faces are to be made to be fixed into smiles and weeping is a crime.

Janet Frame

With all research studies, the goal is to create better medical care in the long run. We definitely hope once we discover the cause of the Chiari and give medical professionals more information, hopefully they can more accurately diagnose the condition and diagnose it sooner so patients don't have to wait to begin treatment or experience severe symptoms.

Debbie Siegel

It is now clear that radiotherapy saves lives in women who have had breast-conserving surgery and in women whose cancer has substantial spread to the armpit, even if they have already had a mastectomy. This should encourage women who are offered radiotherapy to go ahead and have the treatment. It may also encourage doctors to consider more women for radiotherapy than they have done in the past.

Sarah Darby

It is my mission to ensure that HIV-positive children and children with AIDS are no longer overlooked and that they begin receiving the treatment and care they deserve.

Mike Dewine

Upon her death (on Aug. 4, 1999) we had about $500 left. Cancer patients and their families are financially strained especially during the first few months of treatment before Social Security and other sources of income kick in, so we used the extra money to begin the Karen Chandler Trust Fund.

Mike Chandler

The Prime Minister received the most appropriate treatment for the medical condition in which he found himself. He was treated by the best experts at Hadassah and we made every effort to consult with experts from other places.

Shlomo Mor Yosef

We believe there is a real shortage of treatment programs for people with mental health illness. To some degree, it is reflective of a very serious housing shortage problem in Lee County. For some of our people, homelessness has been an issue.

Jan Eustis

We were dealing with the emergencies of pain control, all her treatment, ... I was working a full-time job, having to show up for that every day. Writing the book was relief for us.

James Howell

We get quite a few calls about how to control them. Especially if there are children around is the main thing. And they can affect cattle, too. We usually do some demonstrations in the county, showing a two-step process of broadcasting treatment agents, and then individual mound treatments a week or two later. We usually recommend that.

Matt Lane

If they provide more treatment than is normally available in that country, it could be seen as unduly influencing people to join the trials by offering superior healthcare.

Craig Mcclure

You should really filter information about diagnosis and treatment through your physician. The Internet can be a treasure-trove of information but you can't accept everything at face value.

Donald Palmisano

No one can more clearly paint a picture of the need to beat kidney failure than those who have experienced it first hand, either themselves or with family members. We feel extremely fortunate to work with Randy, Shawn and Chris during National Minority Health Month to educate people in Washington about the importance of high-quality screening, education, prevention, and treatment services.

Kent Thiry

Drug use prevention is the best treatment and it cost less in lives and dollars.

Frank Kelly

It can be used for not only diagnosing but measuring the success of treatment.

Michael Glogauer

I don't think anyone wants to add another (treatment process) if they don't have to.

Kevin Gertig

It was a little upsetting. I'm not so sure the treatment was all that bad, but you've got to be licensed. It's like I might be a great doctor but I'm not, I'm a lawyer.

Frank Bianco

She wanted me to come home and get treatment, but I was pretty much just like, 'It's not going to happen,'.

Lauren Jackson

Therapy should be the first course of treatment.

Aniela Orr

It would not be (illegal) under child pornography laws because no actual child was used in the act. Child pornography laws receive special treatment under the First Amendment because children are sexually abused and people traffic in the results of that abuse.

Jack Balkin

I will personally apologize for the poor treatment you received. We have been working very hard to change a culture from one that is disrespectful to one that is welcoming. Obviously, there is still much work to do.

Karen Holbrook

He has gone to Australia for treatment.

Kiran More

The prohibition of torture and inhuman or degrading treatment ... is absolute and nonnegotiable, ... It is wrong to suggest that this ... has changed as a result of the recent terrorist threats. There cannot be any question of ?striking the right balance? when absolute rights are at stake.

Terry Davis

Policymakers would be wise to reconsider the wisdom of current sentencing and drug policies, both to avoid expensive incarceration costs and to invest in more productive prevention and treatment approaches to crime.

Marc Mauer

We believe that no child should suffer from a preventable or treatable disorder. With today's FDA approval, we are happy to know that there is a new treatment option for children suffering from short stature caused by severe Primary IGFD.

Mary Andrews

Crespo is having treatment and he could be out for a month or six weeks. Duff and Petit will be back soon but Veron will be out a little longer. He may need an operation.

Claudio Ranieri

Anything that takes me longer than five minutes to answer, however, triggers a request for a face-to-face meeting. I often find that a brief meeting after class can resolve most issues that exceed e-mail treatment, particularly when I need to ask follow-up questions. Generally I reserve office appointments for conversations about a student's grade in the course or other confidential information.

Kay Forest

He had a lot of influence on me as a basketball player and as a young adult. He taught me about hard work, discipline and respect. He treated the best player on the team and the last player on the team equally, so I never got special treatment. Coach Tisdale was a great family man and that's one of the things I took from him. He touched a lot of lives, including mine.

Michael Payne

The more volunteers we have, the better service we can provide to all our veterans who need transportation to the Indianapolis VA for appointments and treatment.

Dennis Taylor

Our data highlight a potentially important gender bias, in that fewer women, despite being eligible, are being referred for cardiac resynchronization therapy compared with a similar group of males. It is another example in recent years of potential under-treatment of women with heart disease in this country. Whether such 'referral bias' is universal, however, deserves further study.

Grace Lin

Children come in, kids sign in, get blood drawn and go on to treatment area. That finger stick room dictates what happens that day.

Glenn Schifano

We know treatment has worked for at least a year now.

Craig Gardner

When he reminded me of the injury -- he has treatment nearly every morning at 6 a.m.. I just told him, 'You have to be the one to make that decision.

Dickey Nutt

The doctors have since confirmed that the president had indeed suffered a minor stroke for which he has been receiving appropriate treatment.

Vernon Mwaanga

Greater public health and clinical efforts are needed for patients and physicians to improve awareness of the risks of hypertension, to understand the benefits and potential risks of treatment, and to identify safe and effective strategies for blood pressure and overall cardiovascular disease risk reduction in the oldest hypertensive individuals.

Donald Lloyd

In city after city, when we were talking to hospitals, we kept hearing that there were more uninsured patients seeking treatment.

Paul Ginsburg

Some of the wounded are serious ones and we need choppers to transfer them to hospitals for immediate treatment. That is the biggest problem but shelter is required too.

Jacques Trembley

We went to court about this and won. But that's not the point. They wanted to see the bits of paper that document what we demand of our suppliers {in the way of ethical treatment of their own employees} and we didn't have them.

Rowland Hill

At the end of the day we're going to ask you to return Marcus to the Texas Youth Commission to continue his treatment program with some other time or some other place review if necessary.

Jon Evans

They told me they ran out of volunteers. That means a couple hundred disabled veterans are stranded here with no way to get to the hospital for treatment.

Bob Cameron

My concern is that anyone who wants to help has to understand this is three times a week for four hours each session. Without this treatment, patients get very sick, very fast.

John Poole

The order protects competition and consumers whose very lives may depend on their ability to obtain treatment with these devices.

Jeffrey Schmidt

We need to build a treatment system based on proven, cost-effective practices and the goal of recovery. That's what people with serious mental illnesses deserve. It's what taxpayers deserve.

Phyllis Arends

The frontal lobe of the brain, which controls these behaviors, matures until age 21. As children mature, some symptoms get better -- though they don't grow out of ADHD, as used to be believed, and half need treatment into adulthood.

Donna Palumbo

Right Direction Cookies are a delicious way to help lower cholesterol for those with mild to moderate high cholesterol. Right Direction Cookies are real chocolate chip cookies with added benefits. These cookies can be part of a cholesterol-lowering treatment regimen that includes prescription medication, diet and exercise.

Wendy Miller

He's on the plane. He has medical treatment arranged in Miami so he should be getting to the hospital soon.

Brian Concannon

She is responding well to treatment but chemotherapy is not easy to undergo.

Abdullah Ahmad Badawi

The treatment received by Native American students in Winner and throughout the region is completely different than that of their white counterparts. These experiences demonstrate the reasons why Native American children so often fail to reach graduation -- hostility of peers, discrimination of school officials and knee-jerk police involvement.

Jennifer Ring

We seem be making these decisions on fear rather than on fact. We don't have a clear idea of what treatment works, and what doesn't. We don't know what kind of real solution this will bring. We're moving feverishly in a way that will require all kinds of revisions later.

Harvey Rosenthal

He has portrayed Hitler in an unwarrantedly favorable light, principally in relation to his attitude towards and responsibility for the treatment of the Jews, ... The charges which I have found substantially true include the charges that Irving has for his own ideological reasons persistently and deliberately misrepresented and manipulated history evidence.

Charles Gray

We are pleased to report recent tests show dramatic improvement in his bone density, making surgery possible. While initially beneficial at managing the pain, in recent months, the injections have not been as effective and the pain has only intensified. Delaying surgery is no longer a viable treatment option.

James Rodgers

We recognized in 1996 that, with progress in the field of genetics accelerating at a breathtaking pace, we need to ensure that advances in treatment and prevention of disease do not constitute a new basis for discrimination.

Olympia Snowe

The pilot was able to make his way - unassisted - to the beach where medical treatment was administered. He was taken to Auckland Hospital by ambulance.

Jim Wilson

Developing point-of-care tests to direct sleeping sickness treatment will greatly simplify patient care, allowing for early case detection, simpler and safer treatment, and higher rates of cure that will improve disease management and could lead to the elimination of the disease as a public health problem.

Thomas Brewer

It's holding her back a little. She's getting treatment. She's not going to miss any time, but there isn't a lot you can do.

Terry Mitchell

Imaging allows us to deliver the medicine precisely into the affected, inflamed joint. The use of image guidance provides a more accurate treatment, ensuring the patient receives the maximum benefit -- pain reduction and joint mobility.

Kevin Baskin

If you are newly diagnosed with cancer, and there is an effective treatment out there, you can either take it or go into a trial. The choice is entirely yours. It's also important to note if a patient can withdraw from a trial at any time and choose another treatment.

Lydie Pfefferle

What's new here is not the use of umbilical cord blood in the treatment of a life-threatening disease, but it's the way the transplant was engineered and the way the baby was conceived.

John Wagner

Treatment is really the answer to what we need to do.

Patrick Fleming

We tried to get him treatment, but he said no. While we were recording the album, my sister committed suicide because she was a junkie. At that point, I really didn't want to be around people who were strung out — let alone one of my best friends.

Todd Youth

I pray you're getting treatment for your mental problems.

Paul Burrell

Manhattan has a lot of hills that's the area where we have the most troubles.Be careful driving if it takes you on hilly parts. And if you can't try and wait until we've treated them because we do put most of the hilly streets at the top our list on treatment.

Jeff Walters

I haven't seen any evidence he did this. He's had mental health treatment in the past.

Michael Falconer

She was not to have any alcohol or drugs which is not a problem. As soon as this incident happened she entered an alcohol treatment program. She stayed in the program for 10 days until her money ran out.

Michael Ventrella

I think Alan just wants to say that the treatment from Liverpool and all the Manchester United staff has been fantastic. He was aware of what was going on to a certain degree and he just wanted to say thank you to everybody for that.

Alex Black

These medications have been used safely and effectively for decades. Our program responds to an unmet need -- we will give parents greater control to get optimum treatment for their children.

Linda Golodner

He is not being provided the type of treatment and care that he needs while at the detention center in Greenville. He should be getting comprehensive mental therapy and medical treatment, including prescriptions of various medications. He's just not getting that.

Ken Gibson

We are particularly concerned about the health of detainees who may have escaped this narrow definition of a hunger-striker. They may not be receiving any medical treatment. We urge that independent medical experts be given access to detainees.

Susan Lee

In his early work you won't see this kind of dramatic presentation. And what's interesting is the treatment of light and dark is actually a service to the subject. It brings it all together and emphasizes the subject.

Kristin Spangenberg

Also, additional charges will apply to certain engines where higher horsepower requires dual after treatment.

Dee Kapur

Why not see your doctor once a year and get the proper preventative treatment? It puts you more in control of your health.

Carmel Dyer

Every treatment can potentially have an adverse effect. Everybody knows even two aspirins for a headache has a bad effect for someone somewhere. On balance, positive effects have to outweigh the negative.

Barry Tepperman

Torture and ill treatment are systematically practiced in Nepal by the police, armed police and the Royal Nepal Army in order to extract confessions and to obtain intelligence, among others things.

Manfred Nowak

The prospect of moving to insulin therapy, with its attendant weight gain, can be a concern for people with type 2 diabetes. We welcome any new proven treatment that provides more options for Canadians with diabetes.

Donna Lillie

I want to assure the public and those who follow the criminal justice system that Mr. Sutton is not receiving any special or preferential treatment whatsoever.

Rob Hudson

Treatment for it is not all that effective.

Leon Russell

By the time the treatment is given to our patients in a clinical trial, it has been studied for many, many months, even years.

Bonnie Kleissle

There was no clear guidance in what was permissible in the treatment of detainees.

Jonathan Crisp

We need to get cancer patients near treatment and keep them near their families at the same time. These three mobile homes are only the beginning. With the help of others in the mobile home and transportation industries, we hope to make a significant impact on the lives of people with cancer in the Gulf Region.

Leroy Jones

The attorney general and Mrs. Ashcroft thank the doctors, nurses and staff of the George Washington University Hospital for their excellent treatment and care.

Mark Corallo

If you don't get treatment early, the illness progresses to the point of emergency intervention. Then we end up with folks in the emergency room who could've been treated at a much lower level of intervention.

Mike Potter

The president made it clear that we do not torture. The world has seen that we are someone who takes the treatment prisoners very seriously.

Scott Mccormick

There's no adequate treatment for him (at such a facility). That's just a jail disguised as a hospital. In a penitentiary, all you have to do is behave yourself . . .and you have to be released.

Daniel Brodsky

We've been doing research on substance abuse as though everybody was a man. But it's clear that women need different treatment.

Joseph Califano

The results are simply stunning, ... will completely alter our approach to the treatment of breast cancer.

Gabriel Hortobagyi

Brazil is one of the world leaders in AIDS prevention as well as in providing access to treatment and drugs.

Michael Weinstein

At the same time, I was listening to black music, and I began to think that the best musicians were receiving the worst treatment. The people who were doing the greatest work were despised as lower class, with no dignity accorded to what they did.

Henry Flynt

Herring is getting the treatment he should be getting, and Maurice Ashmore isn't. That's a function of the fact that the state has lost those forensic beds.

Dave Almeida

Anxiety disorders, depression can cause the same appearance of the same symptoms (as ADHD), but you have a whole different reason for these, so treatment is dramatically different.

Donna Palumbo

We don't know (his status) right now. Hopefully it'll be OK, but we're not sure. He's going to get it X-rayed and get some treatment tomorrow.

Steve Harrington

If the group is seen as a less than human agent, then this will justify inhumane treatment.

Neil Smelser

There is a stigma associated with incontinence, so many people never mention it to their doctors or seek treatment. In reality, fecal incontinence is a very common and often very treatable condition.

Bradley Davis

When a patient does not respond to treatment appropriately.

Gary Brown

This has been a difficult year for Rodrigo and we hope that a fresh start with a new club will allow him the opportunity to renew his career in Major League Soccer. I spoke to Rodrigo yesterday and he was appreciative of his treatment by the Fire and he wished he could have done more to help the team.

Peter Wilt

What is special about this combination is it minimizes the effect the treatment has on healthy tissue, while maximizes the impact on the cancer cells.

Kevin M. Spiegel

My doctors feel that they've caught it at an early stage and it is very treatable. I plan to maintain a presence in spring training, but there will be times when I am away from the team for a few days as I receive treatment.

Vern Ruhle

Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is not recommending any treatment between now and spring. If treatment is selected, spring is the best time to do it. Hydrilla goes through natural growth cycles - it's going into a dormant stage right now.

Gary Morgan

I'm a methamphetamine addict and I'm admitting that in this court, ... I'm done with all the lies ... I need treatment.

John English

It's for the protection of the public. We don't want unqualified personnel making medical decisions for athletes. Athletic trainers are highly educated, medical personnel who specialize in the prevention, recognition, treatment and rehabilitation of injuries that occur to the active population.

Lisa Walker

If they really want to make some changes, then it's treatment that we're looking at. Not witch hunting on the industry.

Billy Baldwin

It seems she is receiving very favorable financial treatment for what she is now saying.

Bill Thomas

As Coach Sutton has said and many have advised, he is going to focus at this time on addressing his health concerns. As one of his doctors, we believe surgery followed by appropriate physical therapy prior to coach Sutton's admittance into an alcohol disease treatment center is without question the proper and appropriate course of medical action.

James Rodgers

There is a cure for the hepatitis C virus. Therapies available today have a 50% - 60% cure rate.Get tested and if you have it, get treatment. It can save your life. Please don't wait.

Kathie Bryson

This is a very difficult situation for patients and caregivers, when the patient has to take care of bathroom and other morning needs. Here we have a patch that was applied a day before, and patients are much better than usual the next morning. This is something we have never seen in drugs that are given orally. It is a huge advantage afforded by this patch-delivered treatment.

Nir Giladi

People have to be absolutely ready before they receive treatment.

John Law

We believe these subjects and patients really learned to control their brain and, through that, their pain...Pain has a huge impact on individual patients, their families and society. I got incredibly jazzed by the results. We could change people's lives. However, significantly more science and testing must be done before this can be considered a treatment for chronic pain.

Sean Mackey

These [grants] are competitive, ... [They are] based on the quality of science, based on the potential for adding new information, for improvement in the treatment of prostate cancer.

Thomas Parsons

Cellerant is pleased to be working with Progenitor Cell Therapy for the manufacture of our first product, CLT-001, a highly purified hematopoietic stem cell product for the treatment of genetic blood disorders, cancer, and autoimmune disease. PCT's cell-based manufacturing and regulatory expertise should allow us to move quickly towards our goal of treating patients in 2006.

Bruce Cohen

While there's a lot of good stuff here if you look for it — not so much in the gala section (films that get the red-carpet treatment) -it's carrying over what's been sort of a rotten year in general. And right now I don't think that the overall feeling from critics was that Toronto is going to be the year's savior.

Liam Lacey

We have long assumed that if we educate patients and make them an active partner in the treatment of their disease, we should be able to dramatically improve their ability to take care of their disease.

Carlos Sanchez

He's getting the same treatment as everyone else. To us, he is just one of 500 inmates. He's not smoking marijuana.

Dena Erwin

On the road to equality there is no better place for blacks to detour around American values than in forgoing its example in the treatment of its women and the organization of its family life.

Eleanor Holmes Norton

We underestimate just how distressing the menopausal side effects of treatment are, and women acknowledge that they take drug holidays when hot flushes get really bad.

Lesley Fallowfield

Removal of BDNF before bullying, or treatment with antidepressants after bullying, both removed the behavioral abnormality observed.

Eric Nestler

It will be like giving the household seal of approval. What is currently a crime will be transformed into medical treatment.

Rita Marker

Now that we know that smoking produces detrimental effects on treatment outcomes, it makes sense that this is a contributing factor that could affect the success of a clinical trial.

Ellen R. Gritz

The only reason I'm bringing my condition to your attention now is because the swelling of a lymph node near my left ear has become noticeable to viewers of TNT, and there have been questions asked. My plan is to work the rest of the NBA season and playoffs, go to the beach with my wife, Cheryl, and our four kids, and start a treatment regimen in late June, which will likely include chemotherapy.

Ernie Johnson

It corrected itself, and there was no treatment necessary.

Eric Hauser

Dr. Chiluba has been feeling weak and he needs further treatment in South Africa. The former president is out of immediate danger as far as we know.

Emmanuel Mwamba

Merck is pleased that it has the opportunity to develop what appears to be a very promising treatment for NSCLC, which is one of the most prevalent and deadly of all cancers. We believe this new agreement is not only beneficial for both companies but also for patients.

Elmar Schnee

We found exceptional, innovative approaches to ensuring rapid treatment of patients, ... We used management techniques and flow charts to define achievable times for each step.

Elizabeth Bradley

We found exceptional, innovative approaches to ensuring rapid treatment of patients. We used management techniques and flow charts to define achievable times for each step.

Elizabeth Bradley

They can get an emergency form of MediCal for treatment in emergency room. But no public assistance: no food stamps, no cash assistance, no MediCal that would be available. Even for most programs, if you're documented, you have to work 60 quarters before you're eligible.

Elliot Robinson

Counseling is a central issue, so HIV-infected people need to understand what HIV means, and recommended treatment and coping methods.

Elliot Cowan

For three years now, the administration has been sending the message that cruel and inhuman treatment is OK. Now the McCain amendment is going to wipe all of that away. It reminds everybody who's on the front line that the rules are the rules, and if somebody tells you they don't apply, don't listen to them.

Elisa Massimino

The House and Senate have now spoken loud and clear, with a single message ? the United States will not permit cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment.

Elisa Massimino

About 15% to 20% of patients have emotional or psychological needs that have not been adequately dealt with. We have been so focused on disease treatment that those important elements have traditionally been given lower priority.

Ellen R. Gritz

We need to invest in prevention because it's better for the quality of life of people if they live longer without a chronic or disabling disease, ... and it's better for us as a nation because we're not putting so many resources in treatment of chronic diseases.

Elizabeth Ward

People with chronic disease often want more information about their illness and the various treatment options available.

Elizabeth Murray

And those who were exposed are being evaluated in the various shelters for types of exposure and monitored for illness symptoms and are getting treatment if they need it.

Eduardo Sanchez

If the projected 20 percent cuts in funding for the 2006-2007 fiscal year occur, it will cripple the TB treatment operations in Hidalgo County.

Eduardo Olivarez

I saw them and my curiosity was satisfied. They are not being given special treatment.

Zosimo Paredes

In South Africa and in countless other countries, we have been working for more than a decade to ensure HIV treatment access.

Zackie Achmat

It is an unprecedented incident for a city with millions of people in China to face such a severe water pollution, which adds difficulties to decision-making and treatment.

Zhang Zuoji

Development is the theme of the Doha round of talks, which should solve the problems concerning developing countries, giving them the special treatment.

Zhang Xiangchen

To cover migrant workers under the charity umbrella, I think, is one of the country's recent endeavors to give them formal workers' treatment.

Zhang Liqun

It's nothing we're too unhappy about. Basically, the joint is irritated. We'd like more time of course but we're confident he's responding to treatment. He'll have more treatment today and we'll reassess him.

Errol Alcott

That's always an area of concern. It's one thing starting a player with a problem and then it's always what can happen during a Test match. We don't want that situation to arise if we can avoid it. We'd like more time, of course, but we're confident he is responding to treatment.

Errol Alcott

We'd like more time of course but we're confident he's responding to treatment and he'll have more treatment today. We'd like to make a decision today but may wait until tomorrow.

Errol Alcott
