Hospital flu cases on the rise
as U.S. becomes older, grayer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO The number of
people hospitalized in the United
States because of the flu has
climbed substantially over the past
two decades to an average of more
than 200,000 a year, in large part
because of the aging of the popula
tion, a government study found.
Severe cases of the flu can result
in pneumonia, dehydration or a
worsening of chronic medical con
ditions and can be life-threatening.
Coming just as doctors are
receiving the first supplies of
this year’s flu vaccine, the study
demonstrates that the ailment is
not trivial, and underscores the
importance of prevention, said
lead researcher William Thompson
of the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention.
The annual average of 226,054
hospitalizations a year is almost
double the CDC’s previous esti

And other nations must be

mate, partly because it includes data
from more recent years when more
severe virus strains prevailed, and
partly because the researchers used
a broader category of flu-related ill
nesses to reach the new estimate.
The findings were published
in Wednesday’s Journal of the
American Medical Association. The
nationally representative findings
are based on records from about 500
hospitals from 1979 through 2001.
Annual flu shots have been
recommended for people 65 and
older since the 1960 sand for those
50 and older since 2000, but only
about two thirds of older adults get
vaccinated.
Annual shots also are recom
mended for all children ages 6
months to 23 months; women who
will be pregnant during flu season;
and people with chronic health
problems including heart disease,
diabetes and asthma.
Bush administration has clas
sified as an “axis of evil” power,
feels threatened by the United
States —a feeling that has been
amplified by the war with Iraq,
Perry said.
Finally, the risk of accidental
nuclear launch must be eliminated
by engaging Russia in talks to take
nuclear weapons down from high
alert.
Perry emphasized the need for
diplomacy with other nations in
order to deal with the threat of ter
rorist attacks as well as the neces

yet to be precisely defined by NIH.
One goal shared by the Roadmap
initiative and the University is to
create new research teams consist
ing of members from varied fields.
James Anderson, chairman of the
department of cellular and molecu
lar physiology, served as chairman
of the task force, which examined
research programs at several other
institutions. He said UNC is trying
to match NIH requests with the
strengths of UNC researchers.
Juliano said he wants the faculty
to become aware of opportunities
for multidisciplinary research.
Starting in October, the committee
will sponsor symposia for research
ers in a wide range of disciplines.
Juliano said research often can be
highly specific and complex work but
that it can be streamlined by “tack
ling big problems by merging peo
ples’ skills, abilities and resources.”
One Roadmap goal is to speed
the transition of research from the
lab to the clinic, thereby improving
medicine, Juliano said.
ties in their communities.
“The willingness to cooperate
is being frayed by the unilateral
action taken in so many fields,” he
said.
“We can win battles unilater
ally, but we cannot win the war
without international coopera
tion.”
The United States should engage
allies, listen carefully to their views
and work hard to accommodate
them, Perry said.
“I do not believe this is mission
impossible.”

“I think it’s fantastic,” 80-year
old Chapel Hill resident Eva
Metzger said of the Go Chapel Hill
program.
Metzger, an avid walker, said
she has wanted more walking
space and recreation opportunities
in the community for years.
She said the program will help
people get the exercise they need.

campus, researchers in chemis
try, physics and biology can work
together to create new ways to treat
diseases like cancer on a cellular
level.
But these advancements aren’t
something that will happen over
night, Juliano said. “It’s a matter
of slowly laboring away in the field
and seeing what grows up.”

Most nurses spend their entire careers in the same hospital. In the United
States Air Force, it’s unlikely you’ll even spend it in the same state or country.
You'll have the opportunity to practice nursing in as many as 20 different fields
in a variety of nursing environments. And you'll feel a greater sense of shared
responsibility when you have the opportunity to actually lead your team.
Sound like the kind of career you'd tike to have? Then call 1-800-423-USAF.
