It may seem like a subtle difference, but in the world of mental health diagnosis, having a symptom of a disorder is not the same as having the disorder itself. The study in question was conducted on people seeking treatment for a nose job. To assess patients’ psychopathology, the researchers administered a bunch of psychological tests to the patients before their rhinoplasty. One of those tests was the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale modified for body dysmorphic disorder. Now, the researchers only found a 2 percent rate of body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) among the 226 patients they tested. That rate is...

You can get it in supplements and artificially concocted drinks, but most nutritionists will tell you that it’s best to get your vitamins through the food you eat.

A lot of mobile users these days expect practically everything to be free perhaps not realising that it is not exactly a piece of cake to come out with a good idea and a good application for medical users. In fact I see little gratitude for free medical apps when by human nature authors will feel good when there’s positive acknowledgement (e.g. thank you, positive comment, encouragement or even a little donation) but in reality hardly get any feedback at all or worse still receive unwarranted and unkind comments. Heck, when I wrote Haemoncrules, all I requested was some postcards and I got a measly FOU...

The most efficient way to filter this torrent of information is to use RSS or news feeds and I currently rely on Google’s Reader service (the mobile version runs very well on the Palm Pre). However you might for a change appreciate a small dose of medical information rather than being presented with massive chunks of information everyday. Imagine if a useful tip or clinical pearl were to be delivered to your handheld once a day. That would be easily digestible! Enter the Daily Dose of Medical Knowledge application for WebOS to fill this niche. According to the blurb: Daily Dose offers high level medical info, with references, daily. Topics range the gamut of medical knowledge, from...

I've heard this before. Maybe that's because it's becoming pretty conclusive.Findings are most significant for post-menopausal women because these are the women with the highest rates of consumption -- about one portion of red meat per day. This daily doses puts them at a 56 percent greater risk than women who eat no red meat.Researchers at the University of Leeds followed the eating habits and health of more than 35,000 women over the past seven years to gather their data, published in the British Journal of Cancer.Read | Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments ...
