I then ran across a legal blog post where someone had investigated trends in different law terms...and I couldn't help myself but to give it a try.As described by Robert Ambrogi at the legal blog:"Using data drawn from the millions of books it has digitized covering the years 1500 to 2008, it lets you see and compare the frequency of words and phrases as they were used in books over a span of years or centuries. As Google puts it: “The Ngram Viewer lets you graph and compare phrases from these datasets over time, showing how their usage has waxed and waned over the years.”I first had to experiment with how the entered terms worked....

Their abdication of responsibility and engagement during the healthcare reform debate was depressing. Then there was a rigged poll designed to elicit a predetermined result. Now I see a bizarre op-ed piece in USA Today entitled “Opposing view on drug addiction: Don’t make us ‘pain police’” and authored by ACEP President Angela Gardener. An excerpt: The patient-physician relationship is sacrosanct, demanding candor and trust. In the emergency department, trust is built in nanoseconds because patients and doctors do not have prior relationships. Knowing that any pain prescription will be entered into a large, public database might p...

Regular readers of this blog, along with many other physicians’ blogs, are familiar with the difficult choices facing doctors in the emergency department. The Associated Press, continuing its excellent series on overtesting, discusses how lawsuit fears is a leading driver of unnecessary tests. Consider chest pain, one of the most common presenting symptoms in the ER: Patients with suspected heart attacks often get the range of what the ER offers, from multiple blood tests that can quickly add up in cost, to X-rays and EKGs, to costly CT scans, which are becoming routine in some hospital ERs for diagnosing heart attacks … … and the battery of testing may be paying off: A few...

Ben Boyd was the moderator and Ellen Miller from the Sunlight Foundation was my fellow panelist. Reviewing some of the #nmas10 tweets from the audience, I figured I should provide some links for the anecdotes I mentioned: Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center CEO Paul Levy’s blog is still the starting point when talking about transparency in medicine today. I had the chance to speak with him a few years ago. Ed Bennett has done an extraordinary job following hospital social media adoption and highlights effective new media policies as well.

He characterized it as a food fad without scientific justification. Now, 58 years later, the science has not changed much at all. A recent review of the literature of the last 50 years shows that there is no evidence for health benefits from eating an organic diet. The only exception to this was evidence for a lower risk of eczema in children eating organic dairy products. But with so many potential correlations to look for, this can just be noise in the data. Another important conclusion of this systematic review is the paucity of good research into organic food –- they identified only 12 relevant trials. So while there is a lack of ...

The Blog-O-Sphere has changed radically, but one thing stays constant, and that is good design. I’ve used Wordpress as my blog engine since the beginning and it has evolved into a highly sophisticated platform. Almost every week, someone comes out with a new widget or plug-in and raises the bar another notch. This week, the bar was raised considerably. Brian Gardner, the founder of StudioPress, has come out with a revolution in Wordpress design. It’s called Genesis, and the concept is simple. Make a structurally sound “parent” template and do most of the design work in “child” templates. This dual design concept has a lot of advantages. The basic framework has lots of flexibility with 6 different layouts so you can find a look t...

For starters, she was the first female to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean, and would have made the longest round-the-world flight had she not crashed somewhere in the Pacific. Her remains and that of her airplane were never found, although the skeletons of a tall, Caucasian female, some ound in Gardner Island (now Nikumaroro) in 1940. Unfortunately the skeletons were misplaced years later, and Amelia Earhart’s disappearance stayed unsolved through much of the 20th century. Some believe that Earhart survived the crash and lived on the island. With nothing but that theory, Ric Gillespie and the International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery (...

The move was after an FDA review found reports of 19 sudden deaths in children treated with ADHD drugs and 26 reports of other problems including strokes and fast heart rates between 1999 and 2003. Now, though, the American Academy of Pediatrics says most children taking ADHD drugs don’t need an EKG, and the new policy is certain to inflame the debate over the safety of these pills, which are powerful stimulants. More than half of the 4 million kids in the US who are diagnosed with ADD or ADHD are being treated with these pills, the Associated Press reminds us. The issue is that, while ADHD drugs such as Ritalin, Adderall and Concerta can help children f...

He described parental alienation syndrome (PAS) as a “disorder that arises primarily in the context of child custody disputes. Its primary manifestation is the child’s campaign of denigration against a parent, a campaign that has no justification. It is caused by a combination of a programming (brainwashing) parent’s indoctrinations and the child’s own contributions to the vilification of the targeted parent.” What are the Symptoms of Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS)?
