Complaints include a lack of diversity within compensation committees, a lack of wage transparency, and too much weight given to factors such as billable hours and too little to institutional investments like developing a firm’s human capital and nurturing young associates. Female lawyers also reported being stymied by the “double bind,” saying that for women it’s virtually impossible to be simultaneously respected and w...

One such method is to take a new, but reasonable, scientific hypothesis and run with it, long past the current state of the evidence. We see this with the many bogus stem cell therapy clinics that are popping up in parts of the world with lax regulation. This type of medical pseudoscience is particularly challenging to deal with, because there is a scientific paper trail that seems to support many of the claims of proponents. The claims themselves may have significant plausibility, and parts of the claims may in fact be true. Efforts to educate the public about such treatments are frustrated by the mainstream media’s lazy tendency to di...

I was about to jump into O'Reilly's DNS & BIND Cookbook, in preparation for a major MedWorm migration (yes a shiny new server is on its way that will resolve all or its performance issues!) when I read in the preface 'This book expressly doesn't concentrate on DNS theory. For that, I'd (not surprisingly) recommend DNS and BIND. Without an understanding of the theory behind DNS, you're like the Southeast Asian Scrabble players who memorize the spelling -- but not the meaning or pronunciation -- of tens of thousands of English words: all syntax, no semantics.'Now usually I think I would just ignore such information and carry on regardless, but this time for some reason I realised the importanc...

Researchers at the University of Texas School of Health Information Sciences, led by Associate Professor Ananth Annapragada, said the system is designed to mimic the functions of the pancreas, which produces the hormone insulin. This system worked in stabilizing blood sugars in animals for up to 6 hours. How does this work in plain English… or at least easy to understand words? Well, there are liposomes that are coated with sugars to form the inhaled particles, and when sugars becomes present in the blood, the particles bind independently to the sugar then releasing the particles that release their insulin. So basically, they bind to th...

Hopefully between this series, the podcast and regular blogging, most of the relevant stuff that catches my eye will get covered. HHS and personalized medicine The first thing I want to talk about today is the news that the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is making a concerted thrust in the area of “personalized medicine”. In addition to the funding plans, the part that caught my eye was the plan to develop a “network of networks that pulls together health care information from the nations major health data repositories to enable researchers to match treatments and outcomes.” For more see the HHS personalized healthcare website … meanwhile cancer funding is in dire straits While I laud the HHS for the increased attention to... business|bytes|genes|molecules blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=500144 Sun, 25 Mar 2007 18:34:48 +0100 500144
