It didn't take long after passage of the health care reform legislation for the medical schools to ramp up a campaign to increase the number of physicians. I've seen this before and the increase of physicians brought more of the same; more specialty medical care, increased costs and increase in chronic health problems. You might say that I am harsh on medical care to lay the chronic health problem at their feet but medical care has not stopped or even slowed the increasing incidence of chronic diseases. The success of medical care is to sustain chronic diseases, which is preferable to death, but it robs people and society of vitality and treasure and distracts from addressing the cause of these...

On the first anniversary of Obamacrap comes word a "high profile conservative group" is planning on suing HHS to find out the criteria for granting Obamacrap waivers.I thought it was obvious . . . they use ping-pong balls with numbers.According to Fox, Crossroads GPS will file suit in the next few days.At issue is the Obama administration's criteria for granting 1,040 of the temporary health care reform waivers to businesses, labor groups and a handful of states. Those organizations are being allowed to opt out of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act -- at least until 2014 -- in order to let them develop systems and alternatives to meet the health care reform law's strict coverage requirements.HHS data suggest more than 2.6 mil...

Online casinos have paved a way to an increasing numbers of poker players worldwide.   With the increased numbers of interested players, poker sites and online casinos are consequently spurting everywhere.  But only a few of them can be considered the “best ones”.    Good thing, online casino reviews like Online Casino Bluebook exists to give as the bests of us onlin...

As in my posts here and here, doctors can't understand IT because they're too consumed with patient care issues, the rate of change of IT is too fast for their limited minds, and a degree doesn't get you anything, anyway.

On that day Bloggers will recommend other blogs to their blog visitors.With the goal in mind, on this day every blogger will post a recommendation of 5 new blogs. This way, all blog readers will find themselves leaping around and discovering new, previously unknown blogs. I am choosing to interpret "previously unknown" to mean blogs that are new to me, as well as blogs I read but about which I have yet to write in my blog.

And I'm posting the resulting graphs, along with a sketch of the E. coli cells I'm using for this experiment.The sketch shows that the cells contain two plasmids. The one on the left is pASKAsxy; it carries the E. coli sxy gene (red) under the control of the Plac promoter (blue arrow). This promoter is normally OFF in these cells so the sxy gene is not expressed, but the promoter can be activated by adding a lactose-analog called IPTG. The plasmid on the right carries the lacZ gene, which codes fo... RRResearch blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=629247 Mon, 21 May 2007 00:25:00 +0100 629247
