            <title>Pediatric Physician Joins Collaborative Network And Sees Improvement In His Work</title>

            <description>I never thought I’d change the way I practice medicine.  But I recently enrolled as a provider in the Improved Care Now (ICN) collaborative network and I’m already working differently.
ICN is an alliance of gastroenterologists and patients working in a new model of pediatric inflammatory bowel disease care based on the analysis of thousands of doctor–patient visits as well as the latest studies and treatments.  Doctors and patients apply this information, experiences are tracked in an open registry, the results are then shared and refined to improve care.  I can see what I’m doing well and where I’m falling short relative to other clinics and pediatric gastroenterologists.
ICN is under the direction of Dr. Richard Colletti of the University of Vermont.  ICN is supported by t...</description>

            <description>[picture taken while waiting for the taxi to arrive]
An extremely uneventful flight to Cincinnati from Denver. It takes a journey back home for us to encounter snow. The fluffy snow in the driveway makes me cold by default, even though the house is at its usual comfortable temperature.
The animals were overjoyed to see us: Sophie almost exploded with barking and excitement. Satchel meowed enough to get me to finally give him some food, even though I told him that it was not Cat Snack Time. His training is strong: every time a human enters the house through the front door, Satchel is supposed to get fed. He has no problem with any of the internal logic, or external logic, of this.

            <description>This morning, we went to the Cincinnati Art Museum to see their new exhibit of wedding dresses. My grandmother&amp;#8217;s dress is one of them, and I got to take a good picture of it, defying (with the curator&amp;#8217;s permission) the guard&amp;#8217;s no-photo policy. Here it is, from 1906&amp;#8230;

            <description>Are you living in a sexually satisfied city, like Columbus, Ohio? Or, like residents of Manchester, New Hampshire, are you more likely sexually unsatisfied?
A new survey from Men&amp;#8217;s Health magazine released a new list this week of &amp;#8220;sexually satisfied&amp;#8221; cities, as well as those who fare not so well. They looked at a number of statistical factors to arrive at these admittedly arbitrary distinctions &amp;#8212; birth rates (I suppose under the assumption that those cities with higher birth rates have a higher rate of sexual activity as well), sales of sex toys and condoms, and rates of sexually transmitted diseases. One could certainly argue with these choices.
But without further ado, we bring you the sexually most satisfied cities in the U.S.:

            <description>Today we head to Columbus to visit friends. I am looking forward to getting out of the house. The animals are to be taken care of by my son.
Incidentally, a bragging point: my son&amp;#8217;s girlfriend was honored yesterday by the Chemistry Department at the University of Cincinnati for being the top student in organic chemistry. I never thought I would ever get to know anyone with a chemistry award! I am so excited and proud! Yay Betsy!
Now it is time for the weather to clear up. I can&amp;#8217;t be happy about a trip to Columbus, not entirely, if it&amp;#8217;s gray and rainy outside. (Source: white pebble)</description>

            <title>Suddenly Hawaii</title>
            <link>http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3092887&amp;cid=t_107170_136_f&amp;fid=35302&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeedproxy.google.com%2F%7Er%2FWhitePebble%2F%7E3%2Fs5Wykm7M7uM%2F</link>
            <description>So my one and only son graduated from the University of Cincinnati this past Saturday, and there was a lovely celebration. A couple of weeks ago, he had the sudden notion that we should all go to Hawaii to celebrate: him, his girlfriend, and his parents. Since the cold is settling in in Cincinnati with a vengeance, we all of us thought that was a remarkably good idea.
Now that we are all here, I think that was an especially remarkably good idea. Warm but not too warm in the daytime, and at night, not too cool. Dramatic landscapes surround us. Exotic birds abound; zebra doves are a refreshing alternative to the ubiquitous house sparrows of home. The last bird that I added to my list was a Pacific golden plover, which was hanging out by the pool. This was all without even trying. I&amp;#8217;m n...</description>

            <description>Settlements and kickbacks and corporate integrity agreements, oh my (to the tune of &quot;lions and tigers and bears, oh my&quot;)To quote the BusinessWeek version of the story:A $112 million settlement involving alleged drug kickbacks that the Justice Dept. announced with the nation's largest nursing home pharmacy and a generic drug manufacturer on Nov. 3 is part of a wide-ranging investigation of suspected Medicaid fraud by the pharmaceutical industry.Under Tuesday's settlement, Omnicare will pay $98 million plus interest to the federal government and a number of state Medicaid programs to settle allegations that it participated in kickback schemes with IVAX, J&amp;J [Johnson &amp; Johnson], and two nursing home chains.

            <description>I don&amp;#8217;t think we really have spring here in Cincinnati. We have one day of mediocrely warm weather, then all of a sudden the heat comes, and the air conditioners are turned on full blast. Today was our first official day of the warm half of the year. All afternoon, my sunroof was open and windows rolled down. I held off on the air conditioning to enjoy the heat a bit while it&amp;#8217;s still a novelty around here.
The birds, however, are still in their breeding season, and tonight, through the open window in the TV room, we heard our neighborhood Barred Owl calling out to all the other owls within earshot. I&amp;#8217;ve been encased all winter in thick clothes and coats and machines that have the windows tightly closed. Now, in the middle of this, I have an open window, and an owl calling...</description>

            <description>It turns out that we had way more than ten inches of snow yesterday and last night: we had sixteen. Even in Boulder, that calls for places to shut down and people to stay at home until paths can be made through the stuff. Still none of the common Cincinnati attitude of &amp;#8220;We&amp;#8217;re all gonna die!!!&amp;#8221; Refreshing.
Today&amp;#8217;s sunny weather has rapidly been processing the snow back into water, which is convenient, except for the puddles around the snow-blocked street drains. It&amp;#8217;s good to have waterproof walking shoes. Come to think of it, I don&amp;#8217;t believe that anyone in Boulder owns shoes inappropriate for this kind of weather situation. There were no sparkly strappy sandals out today, not even on the feet of young college men who love to wear shorts and tee shirts in ...</description>

            <description>I don&amp;#8217;t mean frozen in the sense of the blog locking up like a frozen screen during a system crash. I mean frozen in the old fashioned sense of the blog existing (as it sort of does, regardless of where the server is) in the -2°F weather here in Cincinnati. I had thought the weather results a mistake until I found out how cold it is throughout the house.
My CT scan went well, and now I am, based on no facts, feeling like it will show nothing wrong, and that next Wednesday I will get yet another clean bill of health from my doctor. Yes, it&amp;#8217;s possible that I won&amp;#8217;t, but it simply feels better to be optimistic during this week of waiting.
As for the rest of this day, I will keep my promise of a post or two back, and find some silly things to share with y&amp;#8217;all.

            <description>I am glad that New Year&amp;#8217;s Day is over, and not only because of the University of Cincinnati&amp;#8217;s loss to Virginia Tech in last night&amp;#8217;s Orange Bowl. I suppose that the moral of that story is, If your sports team (professional or otherwise) is based in Cincinnati, do not look to it to provide you happiness.
Though with the current date set to early January, when one might think is the most depressing time of the year, except for February of courses, there are always things to look forward to. I am thinking in particular that in about three weeks, the yearly spring bird migration begins. It won&amp;#8217;t hit Cincinnati at that time, but way down in Central America, the birds will be packing up and getting ready to move.

            <description>Normally, of course, I don&amp;#8217;t watch football. However, we are celebrating New Year&amp;#8217;s Day today (tonight) by watching the Orange Bowl because the University of Cincinnati is playing in it. Since Peter goes to that school, and Buck is on the Board of Trustees, we watch the game.
I may end up enjoying the process, but I don&amp;#8217;t want to be too hasty in that decision.
But I hope your New Year&amp;#8217;s Day has been as good as, or at least as painless as, mine.

            <title>The past week or so…</title>

            <description>The weather here in Cincinnati has turned very dreary and extremely cold in the past couple of days. Well, it&amp;#8217;s always dreary at this time of year, with all of us not expecting to see sunshine until the end of February. The cold, though, is unexpected, and, more importantly, coincided nicely with the complete mechanical breakdown of our boiler. We have a backup electric heat system, so we&amp;#8217;re not freezing solid, but still&amp;#8230;
Sneaking in on all of this meteorological awfulness, though, was the winter solstice a couple of days ago. I find it a relief to know that now the days are getting longer, even if I can&amp;#8217;t perceive the new length yet.
Yet another tragedy balances all this out: the accidental death of a young woman during a Christmas performance at the local church t...</description>

            <description>Buck and I spent the past three days (since Tuesday morning) driving his car back from Boulder to Cincinnati. We arrived safe and sound, but with a good deal of dust and grit all over the car.
A good deal of the grit and dust comes from Kansas and eastern Colorado. I don&amp;#8217;t remember the dust accumulating in Kansas, but there it is. I am not sure I remember much about Kansas, because it is, for the most part, more boring to drive through than people had told me.
We spent the night in Abilene. We left early Wednesday morning, and stopped by the Eisenhower Memorial Library. Buck, the big pacifist, had to see the boyhood home of one of our nation&amp;#8217;s greatest warriors. Buck also reminded me that he was a Republican president, so there was Buck&amp;#8217;s justification. But all we did at ...</description>

            <title>Fall is finally here</title>
            <link>http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1888301&amp;cid=t_107170_136_f&amp;fid=35302&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.feedburner.com%2F%7Er%2FWhitePebble%2F%7E3%2F423716331%2F</link>
            <description>Yes, fall is finally here in Cincinnati: the weather has turned chilly the past couple of days, and roughly half of the trees have leaves of a distinctly non-greenish color.
I love now thinking about the fact that the bright orange and yellows of the leaves were always there in them since they budded in the spring, that the green chlorophyll was simply so abundant that it overpowered these other brilliant colors until now.
(I am also comforted by poetic thoughts in the morning. They should disappear before I make my first pot of tea.)

What to do before the end of fall: drink a cup of tea and think about the leaves.

            <title>NIH Sends Conflict Reminders To Universities</title>

            <description>Under pressure from an ongoing US Senate investigation, the National Institutes of Health last week sent reminders to universities that &amp;#8220;proper stewardship of Federal funds includes ensuring objectivity of results by protecting federally-funded research from compromise by FCOI,&amp;#8221; or financial conflicts of interest. 
The August 25 e-mail was written by Norka Ruiz Bravo, the NIH deputy director for extramural research, who last March told The New York Times that &amp;#8220;for us to try to manage directly the conflict-of-interest of an NIH investigator would be not only inappropriate but pretty much impossible.” She added that &amp;#8220;I think (the system) is working to the extent that people are being honest and I think most people are honest.” 
Honesty aside, the Senate Finance Co...</description>

            <title>Grassley Vows To Pressure NIH Over Grants</title>

            <description>The ranking Republican on the Senate Finance Committee wants the National Institutes of Health to revoke grants to academic scientists who fail to report financial conflicts of interest to their institutions, the Iowa Senator tells The Chronicle of Higher Education.
His remarks come after targeting Harvard University, Stanford University and the University of Cincinnati, because some academics underreported their own financial interests in research projects supported by the NIH. Institutions are required by federal regulation to report the existence of those conflicts to the agency. Grassley is seeking info from 20 other institutions about financial conflicts among their scientists, including Brown University&amp;#8217;s Martin Keller, and the American Psychiatric Association.
Since 1995, an N...</description>

            <title>NIH May Tighten Oversight Of Grant Disclosures</title>

            <description>In response to sustained public pressure, the National Institutes of Health is now getting set to tighten its oversight on grants awarded academic researchers, whose institutions are required to report any conflicts of interest. Recent examples uncovered by the Senate Finance Committee, however, have embarrassed the NIH and several universities, most notably Harvard University.
Over the past several months, the committee has disclosed instances where academic researchers at Harvard, Stanford University and the University of Cincinnatti accepted funding from both the NIH and various drugmakers, but failed to fully disclose industry payments. Universities are supposed to monitor researchers and the NIH is supposed to monitor the universities for conflicts involving payments exceeding $10,000...</description>

            <description>The US Senate Finance Committee charges that Stanford University failed to properly monitor alleged conflicts of interest involving Alan Schatzberg, who chairs the psychiatry department at Stanford University and who owns about $6 million in stock in Corcept Therapeutics, which that participates in a National Institutes of Health study he oversees.
This is the latest such case involving high-profile academics, who receive funding from both the NIH and industry, to be investigated by Chuck Grassley, the ranking committee Republican, for possible violations of federal regulations. At issue are whether universities are adequately policing disclosures in an effort to maintain scientific integrity and objectivity.
Earlier this month, he targeted three Harvard University psychiatrists, including...</description>

            <title>Harvard Psychiatrist Didn’t Report Pharma Income</title>

            <description>A Harvard child psychiatrist whose work has helped fuel an explosion in the use of antipsychotics in children earned at least $1.6 million in consulting fees from drugmakers from 2000 to 2007 but for years did not report much of the income to university officials, according to information given Congressional investigators, The New York Times reports.
By failing to report income, the psychiatrist, Joseph Biederman, and a colleague in the psychiatry department at Harvard Medical School, Timothy Wilens, may have violated federal and university research rules governing conflicts of interest, US Senator Chuck Grassley, an Iowa Republican tells the Times, since some of their research is financed by government grants.
Grassley has been investigating the interplay between academics who receive gra...</description>

            <description>After legislators in Oklahoma did not pass Nick&amp;#8217;s Law (which called for insurance coverage for autism treatments) at least one family is leaving the state to get services for their autistic child in another part of the country. Doug and Caroline Hall are moving to Cincinnati for the sake of their 4 1/2 year old son, Dougie. According to the May 30th News OK, the state of Ohio provides up to $20,000 a year for either private school or autism treatment.
We&amp;#8217;ve moved and moved in search of the right educational placement and services for Charlie. The biggest move was when we left St. Louis (where Charlie was born) to go back to New Jersey (where my husband is from and where there are a lot of well-established autism schools). While we&amp;#8217;ve now found a school district that provi...</description>

            <description>The University of Cincinnati will increase scrutiny on psychiatry professor Melissa DelBello for failing to report all corporate research money she received from AstraZeneca during the last decade, The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. DelBello now has to review all her industry interactions with her department chairman, UC vp of research Sandra Degen tells the paper.
DelBello&amp;#8217;s teaching and research haven&amp;#8217;t been restricted, but the fact that she didn&amp;#8217;t tell the university about some outside income has been detailed in her personnel file, the paper writes. &amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s to protect her,&amp;#8221; Degen tells the Enquirer. &amp;#8220;Basically, we were documenting that there were some discrepancies in what was reported.&amp;#8221;
