Nature held a big press conference, at the World Conference of Science Journalists,  Many of the individual institutions involved in the studies also issued press releases.  As so often in press releases, descriptions like “landmark”, “major step forward” and “real scientific breakthrough” were used liberally. In short, there is no simple genetic basis for schizophrenia. The pooled results of the three studies gave 8,014 cases and 19,090 controls.  A huge amount of genetic analysis was involved. Many thousands of small genetic differences were found between the schizophrenics and the controls, bu...

After all, he reasoned, Souter voted to uphold the power of government to take property from one private owner and give it to another private owner who might produce more “public benefits” such as tax revenue. That was the reasoning that caused a fiery dissent from the departing Sandra Day O’Connor: Who among us can say she already makes the most productive or attractive possible use of her property? The specter of condemnation hangs over all property. Nothing is to prevent the State from replacing any Motel 6 with a R...

If she is going to save the world, she has to get some sleep first. If only she could get rid of these pesky nightmares.So in tonight’s episode of the Terminator TV series she checks into a sleep clinic for a sleep study. Of course, things don’t quite go as expected. Or as the show’s promo says, “Suspicious things begin happening.”You can check out the episode “Some Must Watch While Some Must Sleep” at 8 p.m. EST on FOX.For your own sleep problems, you can check in at one of nearly 1,700 AASM-accredited sleep centers across the country. It sounds like Sarah should have made sure that her sleep center was accredited before she spent the night.AASM accreditation is the “gold standard” for the profession. It shows that a sleep center or lab m...

Connor was an honorary chair at the Relay For Life last June with HalfBrainBoy. His story was quite amazing and gets more amazing with each passing day as he thrives. You can see his latest update here and see a beautiful new photo of him. Meeting his family at the Relay and hearing his story, the universal story of survivors, fighters, well it makes me proud to do what I have been doing for the past five years as we've come together as a team since Keith's brain tumor. Grant lit the torch for our 2006 Relay. Find his latest update here and feel free to go to his guestbook and answer his latest question. His family prints off the pages of responses that he receives and reads them to him. They are a highlight of his day. And ple...

I noticed that this issue started with a caption stating that “This story takes place before the events of the Black Canary mini-series.” It has been my experience that no good comic books start with one of these “takes place before” captions. Consider that one of Scott’s Laws of Comic Books. Scene from Gamma Corps #2 (Script by Tieri, art by Ferreira). You can’t put the patient’s name on the door like that; it’s a privacy act violation. Basically, you wouldn&#821... Polite Dissent blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=817561 Thu, 23 Aug 2007 14:46:00 +0100 817561
