Nevertheless, there are certain areas of greater or lesser specialisation, and I’m not suggesting pain management becomes an area like many mental health ones, of generic ‘case management’. What I am suggesting is elimination of the phrase ‘the [insert professional title here] role in pain management is…’ What I’d like to...

In ideal cases, linked fragments will behave synergistically. But all too often, linking two fragments produces disruptive behavior, and the resulting molecule actually binds less tightly than would be predicted based on the binding energies of the individual fragments. This occurs not just when linking fragments, but in fragment merging and growing as well. Can such phenomena be modeled?The mathematical groundwork was described mo...

Both my parents smoked, teachers smoked, doctors and nurses smoked, and even seniors at high school had a smoking area. At that time, you could walk into any restaurant and be engulfed in a blue cloud of smoke. Every movie theater screen lit up the smoke swirling above the seats, and many airplanes still have the hole in the arm seat where an ashtray used to be. As a child, I abhorred cigarette smoke and thankfully never even tried it. As I entered adulthood, the world began to change, and I was fortunate to benefit from no smoking laws in most public buildings. It all seems so strange now. My husband was telling me about being in a car with a co-worker who smoked regardless of who was in the car. I personally do not tolerate cigare...

Well, here's the lowdown on how the Susan G. Komen Foundation spends their donated funds.For 25 years, this world's largest and most progressive grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists has allocated 33 percent of all dollars for research and awards, and 29 percent for education. Fifteen percent of donations are spent on screening, eight percent on fundraising, and eight percent on administration. Finally, seven percent goes towards treatment.Komen professionals say they are extremely careful about how they spend the dollars entrusted to their care. And that makes me happy.Read | Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs&nb... The Cancer Blog blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=804399 Fri, 17 Aug 2007 04:00:00 +0100 804399
