To study the imaging characteristics of facial nerve schwannoma with computed tomography (CT) and to compare their accuracy with fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC). CT scans of 54 facial nerve schwannoma were retrospectively reviewed. The diagnoses were confirmed by surgical pathology or follow-up. CT and FNAC results were compared with the final diagnoses. CT and FNAC diagnoses had sensitivities of 88% and 86%, specificities of 81% and 93%, accuracies of 89% and 96%, positive predictive values of 88% and 89%, and negative predictive values of 84% and 95%, respectively. CT is the primary imaging modality for detection of facial nerve schwannomas. Differentiation of schwannoma from other tumors is relatively easy on CT.Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Secretary Alex Azar is claiming the HHS has identified over $800 billion in unspecified cuts to federal spending.
The purpose of the agency’s spending caps for 2019 is to force $1.2 trillion in cuts from the federal budget.
“The single most significant way to control healthcare spending is to control federal spending. More federal spending leads to more federal control, which leads to more federal spending, and more federal spending leads to more federal control, and eventually to more national debt,” Secretary Azar said. “We are now coming to grips with this spending problem.”
He argued HHS has identified $809.4 billion in reductions it can make without impeding patient care or limiting access to certain services.
The cuts will come on the heels of a significant boost to federal spending as a result of the tax cuts passed in December.
Former President Barack Obama inherited a $1.4 trillion deficit that President Trump and Congress have been working to eliminate.
The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) now predicts the federal budget deficit will total $890 billion next year.
The CBO expects the U.S. economy will grow by 2.3 percent next year, compared to 2.2 percent last year.
The CBO expects unemployment will remain steady at 3.7 percent next year.
