These departures come on the heels of the departure Dr. Catherine Hart, who left the clinic earlier and who is now being sued for violation of the non-compete clause.

Always a daunting time in a future physician’s career path, the direction we point ourselves as we launch out of medical school this year seems as arbitrary as ever. As we examine the rolling seas of medicine and try to determine our individual paths, there seem to be more clouds than blue skies, and certainly more shadows than light. This may or may not be a feeling many prospective physicians feel, but for the class of 2010 it comes as a tough pill to swallow. In a profession at the heart of a national policy debate and with a storied history to examine, it’s extremely disconcerting to be faced with so many question marks.

And so one big trade group, BioNJ, is testifying today before the assembly budget committee in hopes of preventing moves that some fear would further deplete what was once proudly called the nation’s medicine chest. One of Christie’s ideas is to cut in half the $60 million in funding for the Technology Business Tax Certificate Transfer Program, which enables unprofitable, but promising biotechs to turn net operating losses and R&D tax credits into capital. The other proposal causing a stir is the planned elimination of all funding for the New Jersey Commission...

Computerized cognitive training has been around since way before Posit Science, and will be here way beyond Posit Science (and SharpBrains, and Salon.com), and their auditory processing product-featured in the PBS Special- is not, in our view, the most particularly impressive example. Well-directed cognitive exercise can enhance mental skills and transfer...

You might have already seen a slowdown in this blog in May 2007 - it is all related. I am in the process of moving all my accounts to a new host provider this week (MidPhase) and there may be times during this switchover that this site may not be accessible. I assure you that this will be temporary, and I will take all the efforts to make this transition go as smooth as possible. I’m giving myself the entire week for this move and the switchover basically, because I’ve got a lot of blogs to be moved! I apologize for any inconveniences in advance, and hope you please bear with me during this time. In the meantime, I have decided to just combine my monthly “Sponsorship Appreciation” posts with this messa...

The Number Needed to Treat (NNT) is a nuisance. Boring statisticians and people who want a fuller understanding of results from clinical trials bang on about its usefulness but isn't it about time that these people got a life? Because in any clinical trial, we all know that the important people are the ones for whom the protocol worked, particularly if it means that it will at some point provide someone with beans on toast, a roof over the head, a really nice box of pencils or a car...Who cares about the people who couldn't comply with a protocol because it was too onerous to (say) exclude wheat, milk, egg, corn and soy from the diet? Who cares about the people who don't stick with their anti-hypertension me...

She has clearly and elegantly stated that IgG tests for the diagnosis of food intolerance are "a waste of money". She has criticised the availability of direct-to-consumer IgE tests because they lead to "mis-diagnosis and mis-allergen avoidance".However, at the same hearing where Dr. Scadding spoke, and earlier in the session, Dr. Hart, a representative of YorkTest, gave evidence at a meeting of the House of Lords, Science and Technology SubCommittee hearings that are investigating allergy and allergic disease in the UK.In summary, Dr. Hart acknowledged that IgG levels are not necessarily related to either food intolerance or chronic conditions. She al...

Although the survey was sponsored by Allergy UK it is a poor study that does not provide enough detail to be able to evaluate either its conclusions or its publicity. I had hoped that the study was so self-evidently incapable of supporting swashbuckling or grandiose claims that people who profess an interest in decent science or a reputable evidence base would not over-state its significance.YorkTest has published a summary of some of the paper's findings that make substantial claims about its significance and criticises the NHS: 10 Years of NHS treatment and still we're ill says study. I must reiterate at this point that the survey does not i...

Readers can not possibly assess these claims of NHS mis-treatment or mis-guided treatment if we have no way of discovering which treatment modalities were attempted.YorkTest also has the chutzpah to promote an obscure petition to provide free food intolerance tests on the NHS. Their pious hope is that the petition:re-enforces the view that the NHS should put peoples health at the forefront of its health service strategy. If the petition takes off, then it could make the health minister sit up and take action in saving the health service thousands of pounds whilst freeing up doctors valuable time. At best this petition might make the stakeholders of the health service to look at what is best for the p...
