Or at least many people think it’s common knowledge. Heinz Valtin, a Dartmouth Medical School physician, disagrees. In an invited review published by the American Journal of Physiology, Valtin reported that there is no supporting evidence to back up the popular recommendation to drink eight 8 oz. glasses of water per day. How did the 8 X 8 myth start? Valtin thinks that the notion may have started in 1945 when the Food and Nutrition Board of the National Research Council recommended approximately “1 milliliter of water for each calorie of food,” which would amount to roughly 2 to 2.5 quarts per day (64 to 80 ounces). In its next sentence the board stated, “[M]ost of this quantity is contained in...

And it so happens that five Dartmouth Medical School professors were listed in the registry for payment they received for health care professional education work and advising activities, The Dartmouth News reports. Douglas Noordsy, Craig Donnelly, Robert Santulli and Jeffrey Fetter - who serve as psychiatrists either at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center or New Hampshire Hospital - received $35,500, $30,250, $9,300 and $6,300, respectively, during this year’s first quarter of 2009, the paper writes. And DMS professor Richard Rubin, who heads the Vermont Clinical Study Center, Vt., received $15,000. However, faculty members are l...

Using nanoparticles–ultra small bits– the team has reprogrammed a protective cell that ovarian cancers have corrupted to feed their growth, turning the cells back [...] (Source: Libby's H*O*P*E*) Libby's H*O*P*E* blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2662628 Sat, 01 Aug 2009 21:59:42 +0100 2662628 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2630367&cid=t_323671_150_f&fid=38374&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeedproxy.google.com%2F%7Er%2FePharmaSummit%2F%7E3%2FrlUdixSnCOc%2Fpediatrics-in-practice-launch-education.html (Source: ePharma Summit) ePharma Summit blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2630367 Wed, 22 Jul 2009 16:47:00 +0100 2630367 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2473601&cid=t_323671_111_f&fid=36048&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.b5media.com%2F%7Er%2Fb5media%2FAHeartyLife%2F%7E3%2FOxvoYiQvOZQ%2F Researchers at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center are looking at a potential link that connects Lou Gehrig’s disease and algae. Lou Gehrig’s disease “attacks nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord.” While studies are still preliminary and additional research is needed, the preliminary thought is that the disease could be triggered by algae in the water. One source says that “certain algae blooms produce a neurotoxin that may trigger the disease. The blue-green algae can be fatal to animals and should be avoided.” Researchers note that this algae is extremely rare. Image: sxc.hu.

Dartmouth is unusual in that it allows some of its board of trustees to be elected by alumni. Furthermore, it allows candidates to be nominated by petition of the alumni. Many US colleges and universities' boards are entirely self-appointed. Those that allow elections usually restrict these to a few seats, and usually only permit candidates chosen by the board, university administration, or their agents. Therefore, the top leadership of most US higher ... Health Care Renewal blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1955203 Wed, 12 Nov 2008 18:58:00 +0100 1955203
