California Assembly Bill 1195
• What is it?
–Not what is the California Assembly–But–What is the Bill?
![Page 8: Nuclear Medicine Grand Rounds 10/23/2007 Ross McDougall](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051610/548d8bc8b479597a588b4772/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
California Assembly Bill 1195
California Assembly Bill 1195 requires continuing medical education activities with patient care components to include curriculum in the subjects of cultural and linguistic competency. The bill requires CME providers to develop standards for this curriculum by July 1, 2006.
![Page 9: Nuclear Medicine Grand Rounds 10/23/2007 Ross McDougall](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051610/548d8bc8b479597a588b4772/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
California Assembly Bill 1195
• Intent– It is the intent of the legislature to
encourage physicians and surgeons, CME providers in the state of California, and the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to meet the cultural and linguistic concerns of a diverse patient population through appropriate professional development.
![Page 10: Nuclear Medicine Grand Rounds 10/23/2007 Ross McDougall](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051610/548d8bc8b479597a588b4772/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
California Assembly Bill 1195
• Definition–Cultural competency is defined as a set
of integrated attitudes, knowledge, and skills that enables health care professionals or organizations to care effectively for patients from diverse cultures, groups, and communities.
![Page 11: Nuclear Medicine Grand Rounds 10/23/2007 Ross McDougall](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051610/548d8bc8b479597a588b4772/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
California Assembly Bill 1195
• Definition–Linguistic competency is defined as the
ability of a physician or surgeon to provide patients who do not speak English or who have limited ability to speak English, direct communication in the patient’s primary language.
![Page 12: Nuclear Medicine Grand Rounds 10/23/2007 Ross McDougall](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051610/548d8bc8b479597a588b4772/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Assembly Bill 1195
• Every CME activity must contain elements of cultural and/or linguistic competency
• This can be–Single activity with a single session–Single activity with multiple sessions
during same time period–Multiple sessions occurring over time
![Page 13: Nuclear Medicine Grand Rounds 10/23/2007 Ross McDougall](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051610/548d8bc8b479597a588b4772/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

CME and California Assembly Bill 1195
• I do not think CME addresses one very important issue–What?
• I do not think AB1195 addresses one very major cultural problem –Who or what?
![Page 15: Nuclear Medicine Grand Rounds 10/23/2007 Ross McDougall](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051610/548d8bc8b479597a588b4772/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• America and in particular California is becoming more culturally diverse
• Implicit in this is diversity of language
• There are differences in incidence of diseases among ethnic groups
• There are differences in outcome in different ethnic groups
![Page 16: Nuclear Medicine Grand Rounds 10/23/2007 Ross McDougall](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051610/548d8bc8b479597a588b4772/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Estrogen and thyroid cancer
• Gender differences are found across all ethnic groups therefore this alone cannot account for marked difference in incidence between these groups
![Page 30: Nuclear Medicine Grand Rounds 10/23/2007 Ross McDougall](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051610/548d8bc8b479597a588b4772/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Why are there differences in incidence of thyroid cancer?
• Diet–Regions of high iodine intake
• Papillary cancer (also increased incidence)
–Regions of low iodine intake• Follicular cancer
– Anaplastic cancer
![Page 31: Nuclear Medicine Grand Rounds 10/23/2007 Ross McDougall](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051610/548d8bc8b479597a588b4772/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Why are there differences in incidence of thyroid cancer?
• Diet–Low intake of phytoestrogens (isoflavin)
• Odds ratio 1.6 – 1.9
–Low intake of carotenoids• Odds ratio 1.3 – 1.6
Haselkorn et al Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers Prevention 2003;12:144-150
![Page 32: Nuclear Medicine Grand Rounds 10/23/2007 Ross McDougall](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051610/548d8bc8b479597a588b4772/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Diet and thyroid cancer
• Isoflavin–Anti-estrogen–Antioxidant– Inhibit growth of estrogen dependent
cancers
• Carotenoid–Antioxidant
![Page 33: Nuclear Medicine Grand Rounds 10/23/2007 Ross McDougall](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051610/548d8bc8b479597a588b4772/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Cartenoids
• 40 carbon atoms• Yellow to orange (red) color• Efficient free-radical scavengers, and
they enhance the vertebrate immune system
![Page 34: Nuclear Medicine Grand Rounds 10/23/2007 Ross McDougall](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051610/548d8bc8b479597a588b4772/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Why are there differences in incidence of thyroid cancer?
• Radiation–What is known about radiation and
thyroid cancer?• Medical• Atomic bomb• Atomic power-plant• Occupational
![Page 36: Nuclear Medicine Grand Rounds 10/23/2007 Ross McDougall](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051610/548d8bc8b479597a588b4772/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Radiation and the thyroid
• As part of the Pacific Proving Grounds the Bikini Atoll was the site of more than 20 nuclear weapon tests between 1946 and 1958, including the first test of a practical dry fuel hydrogen bomb in 1952.
![Page 38: Nuclear Medicine Grand Rounds 10/23/2007 Ross McDougall](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051610/548d8bc8b479597a588b4772/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Radiation and thyroid cancer
• Can we blame atomic bombs for the disparate incidence of thyroid cancer in different ethnic groups?
• If not is there another reason for radiation being an etiological factor?
![Page 39: Nuclear Medicine Grand Rounds 10/23/2007 Ross McDougall](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051610/548d8bc8b479597a588b4772/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

Radiation and thyroid cancer
• More than 10 dental X-rays gave OR = 3.5, 95% CI = 1.6-7.6
• Eur J Canc Prev 1997
• There was a 2-fold significantly increased risk of thyroid cancer in those exposed to dental X-rays (OR=2.1; 95% CI: 1.4–3.1) (p= 0.001). There was a dose-response relationship which showed an increasing trend in risk with increasing number of dental X-rays (p-trend <0.0001).

Radiation and the thyroid
• CT dose to patients with cystic fibrosis–The mean doses delivered to the four
most strongly exposed organs (lungs, breasts, bone marrow, and thyroid gland) were 18.6, 16.9, 5.2, and 3.5 mGy, respectively
– Chest 2007;132:1233-1238
![Page 42: Nuclear Medicine Grand Rounds 10/23/2007 Ross McDougall](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051610/548d8bc8b479597a588b4772/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Radiation and health
• Patient radiation doses from 64 slice cardiac gated CT are appreciably higher than in routine body CT examinations.
• The female breast, which could receive a radiation dose 10-30 times that received from mammography screening
– Brit J Radiol 2007;80:534-544
![Page 43: Nuclear Medicine Grand Rounds 10/23/2007 Ross McDougall](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051610/548d8bc8b479597a588b4772/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Radiation and health
• Cardiac CT –Organ doses ranged from 42 to 91 mSv
for the lungs and 50 to 80 mSv for the female breast.
– Lifetime cancer risk estimates for standard cardiac scans varied from 1 in 143 for a 20-year-old woman to 1 in 3261 for an 80-year-old man.

Why are there differences in incidence of thyroid cancer?
• Genetics–Regions with high incidence of thyroid
cancer tend to be homogeneous–However–No single gene has been incriminated in
cancer arising from follicular cells–This also applies to familial cancers of
follicular cells
![Page 50: Nuclear Medicine Grand Rounds 10/23/2007 Ross McDougall](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051610/548d8bc8b479597a588b4772/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Why are there differences in incidence of thyroid cancer?
• Quality of medical care–Lower rate of thyroid cancer in African
Americans may be caused by lax detection.• Those diagnosed
– were more likely to be insured– Live in wealthier areas (ZIP codes)
• Luc et al American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery Foundation’s Annual Meeting 2007

The bigger questions about CME
• What is its value?
![Page 55: Nuclear Medicine Grand Rounds 10/23/2007 Ross McDougall](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051610/548d8bc8b479597a588b4772/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Arguments for mandatory CME
• Continuing education is necessary• Every physician will receive education• Physicians will address their educational
needs• Education can influence practice• Isolation is reduced• Performance of poor physician is improved
» Donen CMAJ 1998;158:1044
![Page 56: Nuclear Medicine Grand Rounds 10/23/2007 Ross McDougall](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051610/548d8bc8b479597a588b4772/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Arguments against mandatory CME
• Physicians should be responsible for their own education
• All that is guaranteed is attendance• Principles of adult learning are violated• Performance of poor physician is not
improved• No evidence it improves practice• It is expensive and time consuming
