It also provided valuable insights to the writers who had the pleasure of interviewing some of those experts for this issue of MD News San Antonio. Mechanical ventilation technology has progressed quickly, but the literature indicates that patient outcomes haven't improved during the past 15 years. In our cover feature, we introduce readers to Adel Bougatef, MD, PhD, a neonatolo- gist who is working with local durable medical equipment provider Wave Healthcare to create new technology to reduce medical ventilation complications. Knowing when to increase your fee schedule isn't always an easy call, and there are myriad details to consider. In our practice management section, a local expert recommends steps to take when balancing the total cost of providing services and your overall profit to determine the proper fee schedule. In our accounting section, we take a closer look at President Trump's proposed tax legislation to try and determine the implications you might face. New research reveals a causal link between accumulation of cells that no longer divide and development of osteo- arthritis. Our special clinical feature about orthopedics reviews the findings. MD News can provide information about your organiza- tion's or practice's leading-edge technologies and treatments to referring physicians throughout the region.
