That’s the premise of a new card game on display as part of the Talk to Me exhibit which opened at MOMA this week. Players send in swabs of saliva; the designers send it out to be analyzed and then generate a customized 50-card deck from each player’s specific DNA…The deck allows players to become shadow versions of themselves, with all their genetic cards on the table, and in the game, as in reality, life depends on how the cards are played, not on which cards are dealt. The effects of any trait depend (more…) *This blog post was originally published at The Blog That Ate Manhattan* (Source: Better Health) Better Health blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=5103341 Sat, 06 Aug 2011 12:00:04 +0100 5103341 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2855809&cid=t_161975_137_f&fid=35426&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeedproxy.google.com%2F%7Er%2FTheAlzheimersReadingRoom%2F%7E3%2Fpi95BEXJKeI%2Falzheimers-art-quilt-initiative.html I wanted to bring The Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative into your awareness. The Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative is in the process of creating a new traveling exhibit called  "Alzheimer's Illustrated: From Heartbreak to Hope."  It will be exhibited at venues throughout the United States from January 2011 through December 2015. This new exhibit will replace the current exhibit "Alzheimer's: Forgetting Piece by Piece" after it retires at the end of 2010. "Alzheimer's Illustrated" will feature 182 quilts, like the one pictured at the left, each measuring 6 inches wide by approximately 7 feet tall. The long and narrow Name Quilts will be made from 55 purple patches sewn together wrong side out. Each patch will be marked with the name of a person who has/had Alzheimer's disease...

The evening’s topic was, as you would guess, multiple sclerosis. The panel consisted of a well respected local MS specializing neurologist, a representative of a small bio/pharma company which is studying the next generation of Interferon drugs for multiple sclerosis and the Medical Director of the Swedish Neuroscience Institute. Information passed along at the meeting was comprehensive and very interesting. I’m still pouring over my copies of the PowerPoint slides for future blog topics. One thing, however, struck me so completely that I thought I’d share it with you this Monday. I saw an MS lesion. Now, I know we’ve all se...

Willard Psychiatric Center in New York opened as the Willard Asylum in 1869 and after being renamed in 1890 to the Willard State Hospital, reached a record census of 4,076 patients in 1955. In its 126 year history, the psychiatric facility saw more than 50,000 patients pass through its doors. It closed its doors for good in 1995. The description below is reproducted from the site, and describes the project in far better terms than I could. “When Willard Psychiatric Center closed in 1995, staff members Beverly Courtwright and Lisa Hoffman, along with Craig Williams, a New York State Museum curator, worked to save historical artifacts there. Beverly found a door tucked u...

A recent study finds specific types of tantrum behaviors which appear to be connected to depression or disruptive disorders in children ages three to six. The researchers, out of the Washington University School of Medicine St. Louis, examined tantrum behavior in 279 children, of which a portion was already diagnosed with mental health problems. Their study, published in the Journal of Pediatrics, found that children that tend to be diagnosed with ADHD and oppositional-defiant disorder are also those that exhibit extremely aggressive behavior during tantrums. In addition, another behavior for parents to be concerned with during tantrums...

Meet the Face of Change is a national traveling photo exhibit that honors and showcases those with type 2 diabetes who are embracing change as part of a successful strategy for living with diabetes. This is a great opportunity to celebrate how life can be full while living with diabetes. The exhibit producer and author of the book series “Day in the Life”, Rick Smolan, will be on site to discuss and answer any questions.
