A motivational coach, consultant, therapist, and award-winning faculty member at Yale School of Medicine is. A guy named Michael V. Pantalon. He has a bunch of credentials like publishing articles in the New England Journal of Medicine and the Journal of the American Medical Association, so I read though his book, Instant Influence: How to Get Anyone to Do Anything—FAST with curiosity. I have a lot of projects that I was hoping he could help me with. I have not had enough time to accurately test-drive his recipe of influence; however, I think I’m coming with a bit of a handicap considering my strong urge to want to please people. I only have to hear a vague “I don’t really see it that way,” to abandon my way and go with someone else’s. However,...

When coxa vara is pronounced enough, a limp is present.

For instance, in 1911, one psychologist saved Coca-Cola by conducting rigorous studies into caffeine’s effects on cognition and sensory and motor abilities. In 1929, another inspired his nephew’s successful public relations campaigns, which linked smoking cigarettes with female empowerment, if you can believe it. Since 1895, other psychologists were directly involved in advertising, using surveys and other new ploys to get us to buy their products. (You didn’t need toothpaste to clean your teeth; you needed it to make you sexier.) One psychologist even changed the comic book world and influenced an entire movement (that would be the feminist movement). In the early 1940s, Harvard psychologist William ...

Researchers have found that an important system (The HPA axis) of the body that regulates stress, hunger and illness is “stunned” during alcoholic drinking. The researchers tested alcoholics in early recovery (less than 12 months) and found that the HPA axis recovers after about [...] (Source: Recovery Is Sexy.com) Recovery Is Sexy.com blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3164053 Mon, 11 Jan 2010 15:59:58 +0100 3164053 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3145956&cid=t_304283_87_f&fid=36438&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeedproxy.google.com%2F%7Er%2FCato-at-liberty%2F%7E3%2FpQ1G5OFa8Hk%2F By Christopher PrebleThat is the question posed at the National Journal’s National Security experts blog. My response: We shouldn’t even be contemplating war in Yemen, but we should also understand that the proposed expansion of security assistance to the government there is likely to pay only meager dividends. Steven Metz gets at the nub of this problem in his two thoughtful posts (here and here). We have an unreliable ally. We have minimal capacity for making them more reliable. Neither of these observations are unique to Yemen. The same could be said of many other countries. Accordingly, we should concentrate our limited resources in a proactive and strategic – as opposed to a reactive and haphazard — way.  Contrast that with Jim Carafano’s invocatio...

Details of the therapeutic model, which exploits the natural dynamics of the body's "fight or flight" system, are published in the journal PLoS Computational Biology. In contrast to conventional therapy, the researchers propose a well-directed therapeutic push delivered according to an optimal treatment schedule. The hypothalamic, pituitary, adrenal (HPA) axis constitutes one of the body's major control systems, serving to maintain body homeostasis with hormone feedback regulatory loops. If the HPA axis is driven very far from its natural homeostatic rest point, it may be unable to fully recover the healthy physiologic state. Under such conditions, the HPA axis dysfunction may...

His name has been all but expunged from the collective mind, I suspect, of all but those immediately imposed upon by his senseless brutality (and how many of you clinicians could name Tarasoff's killer, honestly?). His murder conviction was overturned because of a technical "inadequate instruction" to the jury that convicted him, and he was released with the offer of not being retried if he agreed to return to India. There are 3,100 Google hits for "Where is Prosenjit Poddar?" and while there are are hundreds of references to the "shy, brilliant student from India's Untouchable caste attending college at Berkley," the only non-legal, non-ethical, non-psychiatric reference I ...
