Welcome, healthcare leaders, to the latest issue of MD News San Antonio. Texas' maternal morbidity and mortality rates have increased in recent years, a change that has been attributed to hypertension, heart disease and infectious disease. In our cover story, you can learn how physicians with the Center for Maternal and Fetal Care at The Children's Hospital of San Antonio are proactively addressing these problems to save lives. Treating cancer eectively is a balancing act, as evi- denced by a feature in our special clinical section about men's health. In this section, we examine new findings regarding the risk of cognitive decline among prostate cancer patients who undergo androgen deprivation. We also review research suggesting a key mechanism by which smoking damages sperm and explore how prostate MRI and targeted biopsies provide additional information that can help physicians and patients guide decisions about treating prostate cancer. We also round up other news related to men's health. In our local feature, we learn more about the federal government's commitment to combatting healthcare fraud and abuse to help you understand how to make sure your practice is in compliance. Our national feature examines the changing role of charitable care organizations in the wake of healthcare reform. MD News ca n play a v ita l role in disseminating information about your organization's treatments and technologies to physicians regionwide.
