2007-10-15 22:52 The Case Against Bobby Jindal
In less than a week, Louisianans will vote on who is best qualified to lead our State for the next four years. We face a monumental decision. This election does not simply represent a change in leadership; it also marks the first time Louisianans have had to make a decision about their state's leadership since the devastation of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. In her new book The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism, author Naomi Klein reveals a fascinating relationship between the natur …

2007-09-02 16:46 Journalology roundup #10
I've built up a bit of a backlog with these snippets. Lord knows how some bloggers manage daily updates! Should medical journals carry drug advertising Yes : Richard Smith (former-Editor of the BMJ). "Major journals like the BMJ have multiple sources of income-subscriptions, classified advertising, non-pharmaceutical advertising, reprints, and sales of articles to other publications. These multiple sources bring independence from each, but at least one is, I believe, much more pernicious than ad …

2007-08-31 22:20 Missouri Limits Teens' Access to Medically Accurate Sex Ed
It seems that whenever religious belief wrangles with education or public policy, the battle takes places either in Missouri or its western neighbor Kansas. It should come as no surprise to learn then that Missouri made headlines this summer with the passage of House Bill 1055. The bill, signed by Gov. Matt Blunt in early July, makes several modifications to the state's existing abortion laws and revises the state's sex education guidelines to bring them in line with federal guidelines. Further, …

THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL School s back in session, and for some families this will be the first time their kids are away from home. I have friends whose kids have been by their side since the day they were born, and I have friends whose children have been in either daycare or pre-school for a couple of days a week ... and then there are kids who have been in full time daycare or pre-school since they were one. My daughter is in the latter group and she started kindergarten this week. Before my da …

2007-08-29 05:02 The Great Flood
I n the good parts of town you hardly ever see them, but in the bad parts they are still everywhere. Brown, greasy, horizontal lines on the walls of rotting, mildewed buildings, reminding us even now of the Great Flood. If you look at the lines carefully enough, you may notice that they, though multiple, often visually coalesce into three broad bands. The bands tell a story. The highest band marks the high point of the water hours after the levees broke and the storm surge poured into New Orlean …

2007-08-28 11:05 Carolinas among worst states in rate of overweight kids
On average, more kids are overweight in the Carolinas than in most other states, with nearly one in five tipping the scales at unhealthy weights, a nationwide study of obesity released Monday says. North Carolina ranks fifth and South Carolina ranks seventh with about 19 percent of children ages 10 to 17 considered overweight, according to the fourth annual report called "F as in Fat: How Obesity Policies are Failing in America."

2007-08-28 00:30 Amgen's Lobbying Efforts for Increased Lethal Doses of Epogen Worked
Americans on dialysis continue to die at rates substantially higher than their European counterparts. An analysis by Merrill Goozner who directs Integrity in Science, for the Center for Science in the Public interest, shows how Amgen, manufacturer of Epogen, used undue influence to increase its profits by promoting a treatment regimen that is accelerating patient deaths. In this era of corporate medicine, it's hard to say who is more culpable in undermining the health of the American people--FDA …

2007-08-24 07:24 Outpatient clinic of innovation
An interesting idea from Ulleval University Hospital in Oslo. (There are some similar concepts that I know of from the US, like MIT´s Center for Biomedical Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center, but this one has its own unique features.) Here´s a summary from Andreas Moan, Director of Research and Education: The Clinic of Innovation is run like any traditional out-patient clinic with one major difference: The purpose of this Clinic is to facilitate the conversion of ideas from research and medi …

2007-08-21 19:36 Rapid HIV Tests in America: Speed or Price
How fast do you want to know you're HIV positive Do you want to know faster that you're negative Certainly. Does it in fact matter, what you, as a consumer, even want I spent a few years marketing a rapid HIV test in the US market and if you've read my entries before this one, you've read about pricing, who the competitors are and issues on education and the pending OTC market.
