This post orginally ran on July 14th on Health AGEnda. By Janice Lynch Schuster. When I was a little girl, country singer Glen Campbell had a variety show on television called “The Glen Campbell Good Time Hour.” As I remember it, it was a good time; in my young imagination, I often confused him with my father, who I thought was just as handsome and talented and fun as Glen. I loved his songs and wanted to learn to play guitar so I could be more like him. Sadly, Mr. Campbell has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’ disease. As most people know, Alzheimer’s is the primary cause of dementia, a gradual loss of brain function that becomes more ...

For instance, faculty with industry relationships published significantly more and published at a greater rate in the past three years. In an update of the findings, which first appeared in Health Affairs (read the abstract), the researchers explored conflict of interest policies at universities that have been under increasing pressure to scrutinize and disclose financial ties between faculty and drugmakers. The attention is an outgrowth over concerns that medical practice may be unduly influenced by industry (see here). What did the l...

This episode was recorded live at Dragon*Con 2010 in Atlanta, Georgia. We focused our conversation on the fact scientific reasoning and critical thinking do NOT come naturally. Instead, we all tend to make similar errors, such as mistaking correlation for causation.

(Fiorina did add, “But you know what? That’s not what she’s running for.”) Palin is way off base, though, when she writes: I support Carly as she fights through a tough primary against a liberal member of the GOP who seems to bear almost no difference to Boxer, one of the most leftwing members of the Senate. Ignoring conservative Chuck DeVore, who probably has the support of a lot of Palin fans, Palin is taking aim at frontrunning former congressman Tom Campbell. But if her aim was that far ...

Gen. Stephen J. Townsend, according to CNN, has “in effect ordered his soldiers Wednesday not to commit suicide” in the 101st Airborne at Fort Campbell. Why? After nearly one soldier per week committed suicide at the post between January and mid-March, the Army instituted a suicide prevention program that “seemed to be having good effects” until last week, when two more suicides occurred, he said. Yes, these are not positive numbers and the Army needs to do more to combat the stigma of seeking help for a psychological concern such as depression. They can begin by promising soldiers that such treatment seeking will have no negative effect on their ability to move up in the Army and get promoted in the future.

The problem Mike raises shows up in many different domains and is known as the tragedy of the commons.  Simply stated, tragedy of the commons is: a dilemma in which multiple individuals acting independently in their own self-interest can ultimately destroy a shared resource even where it is clear that it is not in anyone’s long term interest... 29 Marbles blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1809759 Fri, 19 Sep 2008 11:09:08 +0100 1809759 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1802714&cid=t_191312_87_f&fid=34935&url=http%3A%2F%2Fmedicine.com.my%2Fwp%2F%3Fp%3D4552 The Hongkong Standard is reporting that there is a major recall of Campbell’s soup underway in Hongkong and Macau.

I recently reviewed Dr. Burton’s book on the Brain Science Podcast and last week I had the opportunity to interview him for the show. He explained that one of the origins for his book was his experience with patients with conditions like Cotard’s syndrome (where the patient thinks he is dead or does not exist).

The example, which singled out Stanford University’s Alan Schatzberg, is part of a larger investigation into academics who receive funding from both the NIH and pharma for possible violations of federal regulations. At issue are whether universities and NIH are adequately policing disclosures in an effort to maintain scientific integrity and objectivity. In response to the probe, the NIH disclosed it would tighten oversight, but the story is just beginning.

The FDA can disqualify researchers found for misconduct, such as falsifying results, during studies. Among those banned this year was Maria Anne Kirkman Campbell, who pleaded guilty to fraud in 2003 in connection with a study on a Sanofi-Aventis antibiotic. Please see the FDA web site. Lawmakers, including Representative Joe Barton, a Texas Republican, have criticized the FDA for taking years in some cases to act against researchers after finding violations, but the docs are eligible to continue conducting studies for su...

The emphasis in our discussion was on the importance of exercise in stimulating the release of BDNF. If you are interested in checking out some further references on BDNF you may want to check out Charles Daney’s Science and Reason Blog. Daney also does a good job of explaining exactly what a neurotropic factor is and does.

The Brain Science Podcast is currently part of an ad campaign on Wizzard Media (Libsyn). They failed to tell us that the technology they use to insert ads will not work with enhanced files, so they just converted it back to a stripped down mp3. Since I can’t put the episode into the normal feed, but you can get it here. It should play in Quicktime™ on your computer. To save the file on to your computer, right click on the link and choose “save as.” All iPods can handle this format, but many other players, such as the Zune™ will not.

But when confronting these problems, nearly one-half fail to do so, according to the study, which is published in Dec. 4 issue of The Annals of Internal Medicine. Of more than 1,600 docs, 45 percent with direct knowledge of impaired or incompetent colleagues in their practice didn’t always report them, and 46 percent who knew of a serious medical error didn’t report it to authorities at least once, according to The Institute on Medicine as a Profession’s Survey on Medical Professionalism.

One of the major sources for this recent nonsense is Louann Brizendine.The San Francisco Chronicle took the appearance of the new paper in Science about women's and men's chattiness as a prompt for a front-page story last Friday (July 6), and of course got some quotes from San Francisco resident and myth spreader Louann Brizendine. Quotes of astonishing disingenuousness, it turns out. Brizendine's newest story is this:My book is really about hormones, and that one line [about women uttering three times as many words per day as men] has been taken out of context.

Following Campbell's fine example, other staff from The Observer duly obliged with failed clarification upon failed clarification and no adequate apology although one of these articles has now disappeared from the archives seemingly related to legal enquiries. Jon of Holford Watch has been remarkably diligent about following up on factual errors with The Observer's Readers' Editor but it seems that Steve Pritchard is still not ready to acknowledge that Campbell erred in points of fact, and that Pritchard's attempts to deny this are increasingly ludicrous.Campbell was wrong.
