David Fleet recently posted a very informative infographic compiled from the expertise of multiple organizations to illuminate the true costs of social media. The graphic expounds on the hidden costs of social media campaigns including staff costs, advertising consultant fees, platform creation and apps. The costs on the low end total up to about 200,000 on average for a small operation and increase exponentially from there depending on staff size and involvement in the space. But not to worry, the article goes on to praise the impacts that social media can have on a campaign including engagement, brand awareness and overall reach. ePharma Summit West is your opportunity to hear from the guru’s of social media in the pharmaceutical industry and fi... ePharma Summit blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=4902679 Mon, 06 Jun 2011 19:05:00 +0100 4902679 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=4902562&cid=t_157562_129_f&fid=27216&url=http%3A%2F%2Flifewithadhd.com%2Fadhd-research%2Ffasd-diagnosis-hidden-by-adhd-symptoms.php Jon Bennett has often written about the huge problem of giving the wrong findings on ADD/ADHD. This concern brings to mind of the old proverb that says: ‘If you only have a hammer everything looks like a nail!’ Modern medicine have become fixated on giving a diagnoses of ADD to children that it becomes the quick and easy final decision on for (This despite the fact that there is no objective barometer used to assess the medical signs!).The consequence of this comes to the fact that a determination of ADD/ADHD can can basically be just what our grandparents called having ‘ants in the pants’! On the other hand, it becomes more common that an ADD/ADHD verdict hinders the medical professionals from discovering the true conditions.Research in the last few years are revea...

Now, at the behest of farm interests, lawmakers in Iowa, Florida, and Minnesota are proposing laws seeking to criminalize the making and even possession of such videos. According to the New York Times, the Iowa bill, which has passed the lower house of the legislature in Des Moines: would make it a crime to produce, distribute or possess photos and video taken without permission at an agricultural facility. It would also criminalize lying on an application to work at an agriculture facility “with an intent to commit an act not authorized by the owner.” From a libertarian perspective, there&#8217...

This doesn’t mean we should be skipping breakfast. The problem may be what we historically think of as an “American&#8221...

The CanMeds and intensive evaluations were put into formal education programs. Moreover, courses on communication skills, ethics, professionalism etc. were introduced. Unfortunately some research show an erosion of communication skills and attitudes during clinical internship. This has been attributed to the “hidden curriculum” to which these young medical students are exposed during clinical rounds. The hidden curriculum sometimes also called the culture in medical schools or medical departments is all about individuals sharing the same set of premises that are taken for granted. Examples of these premises can be: Doctors do not make mistakes You can know everything if you just try hard enough It is ...

All of their books are best-sellers; all of them have been embraced as business books, management books, and general interest books. For anyone trained in the sciences, this is a thrilling development, a sure sign that scientific thinking has enthralled the public. This welcome development was an inspiration for writing my new book, titled Numbers Rule Your World: The Hidden Influence of Probability and Statistics on Everything You Do (McGraw-Hill, 2010).

It's Amazing what can hide where (c.2009, wtb)   How can this be.  The most popular belief is that gluten typically comes from wheat, but there are other sources of gluten.  The Internet Health Library site can be helpful as can other sites and sources http://www.internethealthlibrary.com/DietandNutrition/gluten.htm:   In short, is says: Gluten is the protein found in wheat. Similar proteins which are harmful to Coeliacs are present in rye, barley and possibly oats. Wheat, rye and barley are therefore excluded from the gluten-free diet. Oats may be allo...

Some petroleum-based plastics leach harmful chemicals into your food and your drinks.  This is especially so,when the plastic is in contact with oily or fatty foods, during heating and microwaving, when exposed to excessive moisture,.or when harsh cleaners are used.

Clear brackets, lingual brackets, and clear orthodontic trays (like Invisalign) are more esthetic than traditional metal bracketed braces, and patients will pay hundreds of dollars more for these attractive options. However, if results are the issue, orthodontists have more control over traditional, stainless steel orthodontia. The research by Dr. Fields and James Ziuchkovski, and other colleagues was published in the American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics.

Rigid routines … erode the brain’s amazing plasticity and halt growth.2. Negativity about people and programs … add dangerous cortisol chemicals3.

Forgettaboutit! as they say in my native hometown of Brooklyn, NY. You won't find that here!Bob Ehrlich, in his weekly DTC in Perspective "e-Column" entitled "Beware of Objectivity," covered the topic of objectivity in pharmaceutical-land in his uniquely non-objective fashion. Of course, he admits he himself is non-objective. BTW, you may be able to find his remarks here, although it may take awhile for Bob's Web folks to update this page.Bob talks about the non-objectivity of pharma industry folks, the press, physicians, and himself; but he devotes the most space to bloggers.
