We guess the good doctor (whose name is Dr. Ambition, according to his blog) wasn’t happy with all of the teardown photos and videos of the iPad. Or maybe he just wanted to see what happens when you pump it full of radiation. Appropriately enough, the iPad’s X-ray was processed with OsiriX DICOM medical imaging software for Mac.The good news for the iPad is that nothing was broken and, as long as the stool samples come back negative, it seems it can look forward to a long life. *This blog post was originally published at Movin' Meat* (Source: Better Health) Better Health blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3526745 Sun, 02 May 2010 18:00:00 +0100 3526745 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3524118&cid=t_300825_87_f&fid=39187&url=http%3A%2F%2Fgetbetterhealth.com%2Fplastic-surgeon-is-the-king-of-donkey-kong%2F2010.04.30 Donkey Kong has a new recordholder — and he’s a plastic surgeon. Hank Chien, M.D., scored 1,061,700 points in 2 hours and 35 minutes, breaking the world-record score for the classic arcade game. Read the piece to learn how he did it, and more interestingly, the painstaking steps he had to take to verify his score. The feat does lend some anecdotal support linking video games and the hand-eye coordination required for surgery. There are small studies linking the laparoscopic skill of surgeons with how well they do on video games.

Stewart. We’re pleased to welcome Chato to Psych Central, as he’s been blogging elsewhere online for years, sharing his unique and funny perspective on all things mental health and human behavior. Humor is an individual thing, though, and we recognize that. So you may not find everything Chato does “funny,” and that’s okay. That just reminds us all that we all have an individual and unique sense of humor. But Chato says it best – I’ve known all my life the power behind humor, it can give help, hope and healing. My goal and mission has also been to tap into humor and use it as a positive tool to cope with the serious ...

I think we have another reason to be afraid--very afraid--of homeopathy/ Apparently New Agers have developed a homeopathic bomb: The world has been placed on a heightened security alert following reports that New Age terrorists have harnessed the power of homeopathy for evil. 'Homeopathic weapons represent a major threat to world peace,' said President Barack Obama, 'they might not cause any actual damage but the placebo effect could be quite devastating.' The H2O-bomb has been developed by the radical New Age group, The Axis of Aquarius.

No doubt others have experienced similar moments in other operating rooms or procedure rooms around the world. Now, thanks to clever military engineers working to eradicate malaria, a new approach is being tested on mosquitoes that would have applicability in every operating room across the country to keep the flying foreign bodies at bay: using a LASER to fry the buggers' wings (See the third video at the link).Awesome.-WesMusings of a cardiologist and cardiac electrophysiologist.

No, the reason isn't his vastly greater influence in the skeptical community than mine, his podcast The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe, or the fact that he gets called a lot more for commentary when something involving quackery versus science-based medicine comes up. He's earned that, having been at this a lot longer than me and under his own name. No, what irritates me is that he somehow manages to get homeopaths to make videos like this trashing him: "Homeopathy: The persecuted Jew of modern Nazi fascist medicine"? Isn't "Nazi fascist" a bit redundant? Maybe not; I guess you could argue that Nazi-ism is just one variety of fascism.

This morning on the subway, no one was wearing green! Where is the holiday spirit?! I was aghast! If this was high school, a whole lot of people would be getting pinched right about now! I happen to be wearing green right now. It’s only one of two green items of clothing I actually own. For some reason I never seem to buy green, which is strange because I like the color and I look just fine in it. I suppose it just isn’t what I usually think to pick out. When I was in high school I remember seeing one of those “Everybody Loves an Irish Girl!” t-shirts in the mall, and I wanted to buy one but I felt like I would be a fraud because I wasn’t actually Irish.

Their paper, in Science, is available for free on Stanley Fields website here. It is actually a hilarious tongue in cheek read where they proceed from arguing for more specificity in omics names (e.g., they go so far as to propose a EC# like system with things such as the "4.7.5.3.8ome" and also that conditions should be specified like the "37°-7.4-G1-Golgi-N-but-not- 63 O-linked glycosylome".  And they end with a proposal to replace the term "the cell" with either the someone or the omesome.  It is definitely worth a read. -------- This is from the "Tree of Life Blog" of Jonathan Eisen, an evolutionary biologist and Open Access adv...

"You were wonderful!" she says. "I had to come see you; you gave me my stress test before I had knee surgery." Francis asks how she's getting along. "I'm still going!" she says. He smiles.

It is an advanced intellectual means of developing new perspectives and coping with extreme circumstances. A maltreated animal has two potential responses to an abusive master: attack to stop the abuse, or cower/flee to avoid it. He cannot disarm the bully with a witty remark or ironically imitate his master behind his back for his own amusement.

The three are very dissimilar, the differences that separate them being of a more profound nature than the differences that separate typical meals, such as steaks and salads. Unfortunately, neither of the conventionally accepted views of the natural relationships among meals -i.e., the five-kingdom taxonomy or the appetizer/dinner dichotomy--reflects this primary tripartite division of the eating world. To remedy this situation we propose that a formal system of meals be established in which, above the level of eating, there exists a new taxon called a "course." Meals o...

By Kathy Hatfield Dad and I watched the Meryl Streep film, Julie and Julia which is about a contemporary girl in Queens, NY who writes a blog about Cooking every recipe in the Julia Child cookbook, Mastering the Art of French Cooking. Since Dad has alzheimer’s, It's hard to find a movie that Dad and I can both enjoy, so this was a great mix of 1920s Paris and today's modern movie. Well, I became inspired to cook a chicken. I know how silly that sounds when you can buy a $4.99 rotisserie chicken at any grocery store, but I know how much my Dad loves chicken and wanted to make a real one, from scratch. So I baked and basted until the most beautiful golden bird emerged from my oven. I felt a little Julia Child-ish myself. I set the table, got Dad seated with a nice g...
