Sadly, this famous story portrays pregnancy as a death sentence for people with diabetes. Don’t be fooled by Hollywood.Last Saturday night, we posted on Facebook: “It’s 2011. No Doctor should ever tell a woman with diabetes that she should never have a child.” Many brave women responded:“I had two beautiful, healthy kids. Have been type one for 19 yrs, long before I had kids.”“Type 1 for 35 yrs with two incredibly healthy daughters.”“I had two and I was told it would never happen ha ha they are 19, 21 and healthy.”“I’ve had three children. It’s hard, but it CAN be done.”“I had my first 17 days ago and after a tough start, she’s hea...

He was otherwise healthy and active. The doctor advised surgery. During the routine tests before surgery, doctors said they discovered he had a couple of heart blockages that would have to be fixed before they could tackle the hernia. They also found, so they told him, that he had had a heart attack the week before, one that he was unaware of. After much discussion, the family decided there was no option but to go in for the bypass surgery. A week after the surgery, the poor man is still in hospital, mentally disoriented, unable to lift his right arm (doctors first blamed it on a stroke, then arthritis and have now veered round to the view that physiotherapy will ...

The step-taker was Max Baucus, a Democratic U.S. Senator from Montana perhaps unknown in much of the country but very much known and powerful in Washington because he is chairman of the Senate Finance Committee. Sen. Baucus released a white paper, “Call To Action: Health Reform 2009,” that outlines his priorities for a health care overhaul in the next congressional session. The Baucus paper is not legislation – that comes later -- but a broad blueprint that will serve as a starting point for many discussions. Highlights include letting people from age 55-64 “buy in” to Medicare, the government health care program for senior citizens and people with a disability, and...

Edelman won the Nobel Prize in 1972 for important discoveries about the structure of antibodies, but he has devoted the last several decades to studying neuroscience. His two most well-known contributions are his theory of s0-called neural Darwinism and his study of the importance of redundancy and feedback loops within the brain. He has written quite a few books on the sub... the Brain Science Podcast and Blog with Dr. Ginger Campbell blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1262026 Wed, 27 Feb 2008 20:24:12 +0100 1262026 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=805906&cid=t_381447_109_f&fid=34800&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.feedburner.com%2F%7Er%2FClinicalPsychologyAndPsychiatryACloserLook%2F%7E3%2F145206711%2Famateur-sleuthing.html The Wiki Scanner story is simply irresistible. Pharmalot let us know that AstraZeneca had changed the Wikipedia entry for Seroquel (story via the Times of London). Read more at Wired and Forbes. But, why wait around for a journalist to break the story when you can do it yourself? The Wiki Scanner site is a wonderful tool for amateur sleuths such as myself. Wanna see which companies made changes to Wikipedia entries? Here's just one example: Edelman PR made a change to the Wikipedia for Celecoxib (Celebrex) and for Viagra.I'm far too short on time to continue this exercise, but I encourage all of you to hit the Wiki Scanner site and see what you can find.
