Two companies – both relatively new to the industry it seems – caught my eye.

Hughes Melton, M.D., was awarded the “2011 Family Physician of the Year” award. The video below shares his story. I also encourage you to read more of his story from the news article on the AAFP website. I have always been inspired by hearing the stories of the “Family Physician of the Year.” One of my wild and crazy dreams is to achieve this award someday, but I know that I definitely have a long way to go.

It’s not totally terrible! Getting the Pretty Back: Friendship, Family, and Finding the Perfect Lipstick by Molly Ringwald No one believed in the sheer fantasy of Jake Ryan and Samantha Baker as a couple more than I did. In fact, I’m positive that they’re still together, living in a lovingly restored farmhouse outside Greenwich, Connecticut, with two adorable children. Jake and Sam have aged as gracefully as the parents at the end of Back to the Future, and every year on Sam’s birthday, they sit cross-legged on their dining room table with a cake full of glowing candles (more than 16), just for old time’s sake. (The kids love it!) That said, I was fully prepared to mercilessly moc...

Carroll the love today. HHMI named him the next Vice President of Science Education. Since he already has published several popular books I think this turns out to be after the fact recognition of his service in this area. But I noticed in my RSS that HHMI also put out a lavish press release on a paper which just came out by Carroll’s lab, Preexisting Patterns Guide Evolution’s Paintbrush: One of the enduring mysteries of the animal world is how colored patterns come to adorn different species’ skin, scales, or feathers. Now, a team led by Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator Sean B. Carroll has discovered how wing spots evolved in a species of polka-dotted fruit fly. The new studies show that pigment production in the wi...

Taxanes, a group of cancer drugs that includes paclitaxel (Taxol®) and docetaxel (Taxotere®), have become front-line therapy for a variety of metastatic cancers. But as with many chemotherapy agents, resistance can develop, a frequent problem in breast, ovarian, prostate [...] (Source: Libby's H*O*P*E*) Libby's H*O*P*E* blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3254668 Mon, 08 Feb 2010 19:18:24 +0100 3254668 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2678694&cid=t_204474_111_f&fid=36048&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.b5media.com%2F%7Er%2Fb5media%2FAHeartyLife%2F%7E3%2F_1fuHTZxNIw%2F It seems we’ve had a rash of Hollywood folks passing away far too young. Here’s another talented man that went too soon: John Hughes. He died today while taking a walk in New York. He was there to visit family, and went out in the morning for a stroll when he suffered a fatal heart attack. If you’re my age, you know every one of his movies: The Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, Sixtenn Candles, and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. No other information is available at this time. One thing is certain, he will be missed.

How about then investing in third parties to build apps on top of this “Facebook for healthcare?” I guarantee it’s nowhere near the $20 billion you want to handout to the industry stuck in 1986.

A recent article at CNN says that a “first-degree relative — a parent, sibling or child — of a person who has committed suicide is four to six times more likely to attempt or complete a suicide” themselves. One reason for this could have to do with thinning of the right cortex of the brain. This thinning could be one reason why certain people are able to adapt more easily to emotional events than others. It’s also one reason depression is hereditary. Research has changed quite a bit since even the time when Sylvia Plath experienced depression (and wrote about it in her novel, The Bell Jar.)  . The increased knowledge we have today may m...
