They would love to be with their newborn 24 hours a day, but in most cases they obviously can’t. At the Dutch UMC Ultrecht, they’ve launched a project under the name Telebaby, in which cameras were installed at the incubators and parents can watch their child live 24 hours a day — even through a mobile device. The system is password protected, of course, so only the parents can access the specific video channels. Isn’t it great? A very human but not that expensive idea — a really Dutch approach. *This blog post was originally published at ScienceRoll* (Source: Better Health) Better Health blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=4265741 Thu, 16 Dec 2010 20:00:22 +0100 4265741 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=4139485&cid=t_107123_151_f&fid=35805&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeedproxy.google.com%2F%7Er%2Ftwelvestepfacilitation%2FwAgT%2F%7E3%2FIkuGqc1QQGo%2F CONCLUSIONS: Dental schools should develop effective programmes to educate students about responsible use of alcohol and other licit and illicit drugs.

A fascinating idea and a great visualization. An excerpt from Amusing Planet: The Corpus Museum takes you on a fantastic journey through a giant model of the human body during which you can see, feel and hear how the human body works and what roles healthy food, healthy life and plenty of exercise plays. The tour through the museum starts with an escalator ride into an open sore on your giant victim’s leg and ends among the pulsing neurons in his brain. Between those two points, you will watch cheese being digested in the intestines and explore the ventricles of the heart. Kids can bounce up and down on the rubber tongue (with burping noises in the background) while you take in various scents wafting thr...

Lame. Just call him. Dating is confusing, so we make up rules to follow. Amid the chaos of trying to interpret texts, voicemails, and morning-after behavior, there are feelings to be hurt, so we like to give ourselves some safety rails. Problem is, even though dating rules are meant to help us succeed, we don’t always think they’re true, or that they apply to everyone. Whether you’re a Sandy Olsson-type or a true Betty Rizzo, we think it’s time to grow up and break these dating-rule dinosaurs: 1. Men Should Always Pay. We call bullshit. If someone – anyone – invites us to a specific restaurant or event, sure, we’d like them to pay. Same goes if we do the inviting. There’s nothing wrong with someone paying for your meal, but we b...

I never let this be a deal breaker for me, but I’ve also never walked away from a date where I had to pay for myself feeling good. That’s no way to start a relationship. I should have heeded my feelings. In every case, those men who betrayed a lack of fiscal generosity at the outset exhibited an emotional one down the road. Monetary stinginess and emotional withholding go hand in hand. I dated those men so you don’t have to. I won’t tell you not to go out with a man who lets you pony up your share of the check, but I will tell you to tuck that information away. He’s giving you a message when he takes your money, be it ten dollars or fifty. If he’s unwilling to share...

Most of the time we just search for the best deals and compare prices between the far-flung places we want to visit. Then we log off, make ourselves a martini, and cry ourselves to sleep. For most of us, a trip to Hawaii or Greece or Rio isn’t on tap every other week, but we do have some vacation time saved up. And, according to a recent article on True/Slant, Dutch researchers have found that actually planning a getaway gives us the boost of happiness we need to return to our cubicles the next morning and start the daily drudgery all over again.

According to new research, the answer is yes. Previous research has shown that people spend more physical effort in a demanding physical task when they could gain a high-value monetary reward, than when they could gain a low-value reward. But the intriguing finding from this research was that this behavior occurred even when the monetary reward was presented subliminally, below the threshold of our conscious awareness. In other words, a person would work harder for more money, even if they weren’t consciously aware that more money was the reward. Other research into subliminal processing suggests people can perceive emotional messages subliminally too. Dutch res...

From the story: The number of cases of euthanasia reported by doctors last year rose to 2,120 from 1,923 in 2006, according to official figures published this week, reports ANP news service. In three cases the regional committees responsible for ensuring the criteria for euthanasia are adhered to, ruled that doctors had not acted in accordance with regulations. The three dossiers have been sent to the justice department and health inspectorate.Yea, and I'll bet there will be a strong letter to follow about those three cases. What a travesty.By the way, these 2120 legalized murders do not include the about 900 "termination without request or consent" non voluntary euthanasia deaths that Dutch studi...

This post will hopefully make it easier to find definitions of Health 3.0 and Health 4.0. A group of us here in Holland are working on Health 4.0, which combines the Health 3.0 principles Dr. Jeff Gruen, Chief Medical Officer @ Revolution Health, names (see attribution here) and adds coherence as the penultimate connector. If we look at the dot-o movement in healthcare and wellness management numerically (in semantic web terms), we can distill the evolution of the concept down to something like this: 1.

It should be ridiculously simple to establish trust among consumers, and communicate the value your healthcare organization provides. All you have to do is be sure each and EVERY message and interaction ('touch') reinforces the patient's perspective that we are receiving consumer-centric care designed just for us.This doesn't have to be painful for your communications team, and it doesn't mean you relegate good medicine and safe patient care to the sidelines.

While it neither ignores the dangers of addictive drugs, nor advocates their use, harm reduction, as practiced by organizations like the Harm Reduction Coalition, is a limited step that calls for making distinctions between major and minor classes of drug crimes. Above all, it is a practical approach.According to the International Harm Reduction Association: “In many countries with zero tolerance drug policies, funding for drug law enforcement is five to six times greater than funding for prevention and treatment.” In place of that scenario, harm reduction strategies aim for the creation of non-coercive, community-based recovery pro...

Contrary to many other countries in Europe from plans in other parts of Europe which are largely national health care plans, the Dutch system also differs from U.S., which largely relies on employers paying for the bulk of coverage.Recent reports by the U.S. Census Bureau have found that 47 million Americans (somewhere around 14-17% of the population), most of whom are working full-time jobs, lack healthcare coverage.

Keep your triglyceride levels down. Want to reduce your risk of rheumatoid arthritis? Keep your triglyceride levels down. A Dutch study revealed that people who suffer from late onset arthritis tended to have higher triglyceride levels and lower HDL (good) cholesterol while in their youth. Why this correlation may exist remains unknown, although some researchers speculate that it may have something to do with having a poor lipid profile, and how that may make someone more prone to the inflammation that ultimately causes rheumatoid arthritis. Related studies on rheumatoid arthritis have shown that regular exercise can reduce a person's risk of developing this impairment by around 40 percent. Given the fa...
