America Today: One in Eight Born Elsewhere

DALLAS, What would you do if people speaking 18 new
languages showed up at your business expecting service, some urgently , this
year? That's what happened in 2004, according to statistics from more than
700 hospitals across the country last year.
Hospital representatives surveyed at a national conference today in Dallas
said health care facilities are meeting the needs of today's patients only
moderately well and that ethnic community advocacy organizations are
dramatically stepping up their demands for expanded language services.
"We studied the amniotic fluid of three groups of patients - those
with preterm labor who delivered at term, those with intra-amniotic
inflammation who had both preterm labor and delivery, and those with
no sign of inflammation who still had preterm labor and delivery,"
said Roberto Romero, M."
"Metabolon is very pleased with the results of this research
project," said John Ryals, president and CEO of Metabolon. "Our
successful profiling of the amniotic fluid metabolome and the
identification of key biomarkers will aid researchers in the
development of tools to determine preterm delivery risk.

now, we have never had a way to predict the course of preterm labor
with such accuracy. Metabolon's patent-pending technology is

"America's melting pot is bubbling on high and is near-scorching in many
parts of the country ," said the CEO of the company, CyraCom International,
hosting the conference "Strategies for Leadership: Does Your Hospital Reflect
the Community It Serves?" More than 34 million people in the United States
were born outside the United States, according to a 2004 census report.
Conference attendees said language interpretation is most needed in the
emergency room, labor and delivery and acute care departments. They also
noted that facility executives understand the role language interpretation
plays in patient safety and patient satisfaction only moderately well. Metabolon's technology
can identify safer compounds for development, shorten the time for
drugs to get to market and identify novel biomarkers for earlier
disease detection.
