The fleece piece was not large enough for a guy my nephew’s size (well over 6 ft tall), but I had some left over Arkansas Razorback cotton I had used for a surgeon’s cap. The border is reversible.  I machine pieced the 4-patches of red and white to the larger black patches.  The end borders (front and back) were sewn to the fleece first.  The fusible batting (good use for leftovers) was carefully placed in-between.  Then the two longer side borders (front and back) were done in the same ...

The third entry, Executive Summary, presented the data.  It’s all laid out there for anyone to read. ……..Six Army/Army National Guard women were interviewed in this study: three enlisted and three officers.

But not for the reasons you may think. I am a proud graduate of the Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine (NEOUCOM). This has been the name of the school since it opened its doors in 1973. Last week, the Board of Trustees unanimously voted to change the name of the school to the Northeast Ohio Medical University (NEOMU). In a press release from the school, the new president and dean, Dr. Jay Gershen, said this: “The current name no longer reflects who we are as a University. In addition to a College of Medicine and a College of Pharmacy, we also added a College of Graduate Studies last year,” said Gershen. “We are a strong institution with a health sciences curriculum, and we want a stron...

Roche has just filed a brief in a case before the US Supreme Court in hopes of deciding the question. The drugmaker is fighting Stanford University, which sued Roche in 2005 for patent infringement over technology to detect HIV levels blood using PCR, the polymerase chain reaction, The Tech writes. Roche claims it is a co-owner of the patent because one of the original researchers transferred his patent rights to Cetus, which the drugmaker later purchased. In its brief, Roche argues the Bayh-Dole Act “does not alter a co-inventor’s right to assign his shared interests in an invention” and that “despite numerous requests, Stanford has never produced the actual funding agreement with the federal government that...

The authors of the review concluded that CBT, a short-term treatment technique, is generally effective for anxiety orders. In a related article from the June 2008 BUforward Alumni e-newsletter, a study taking place at the University’s Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders is discussed in more detail. Associate Professor of Psychology Donna Pincus is currently conducting a five-year, NIMH-funded study looking at the effectiveness of intensive, short-term CBT on adolescent patients with severe anxiety problems such as agoraphobia and panic disorder. Patients don’t get any med... World of Psychology blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1556286 Tue, 01 Jul 2008 00:17:14 +0100 1556286
