Guide to the Diversity Visa: Demographics, Criminality, and Terrorism Risk
ConclusionThe diversity visa is a relatively small green card category that has allowed in about a million legal immigrant principals since 1993, or about 5 percent of the total.   As far as we know, immigrants who entered on the diversity visa are responsible for committing one terrorist attack on U.S. soil that murdered eight people.  Foreign-born people from countries that have sent many diversity visa immigrants to the United States have lower incarceration rates than native-born Americans.  Calls to end the diversity visa based on a single deadly terrorist attack are premature. Table 1Diversity Visa Admissions by ...

The Future of Vision and Eye Care
3D printed digital contact lenses, bionic eye implants, augmented reality eye condition explainers: the future of vision and eye care are full of science fiction-sounding innovations. Here is where digital health will take ophthalmology in the future! More than 80 percent of perception comes through vision Researchers estimate that 80-85 percent of our perception, learning, cognition, and activities are mediated through vision. Compared to that, our hearing only processes 11 percent of information, while smell 3.5 percent, touch 1.5 percent and taste 1 percent. Don’t you think that’s possible? Renowned scholars, ...

Former Johns Hopkins Radiologist Imprisoned for Submitting False Reimbursement Requests
A doctor from southern Connecticut has been ordered to serve 366 days in prison and pay almost $600,000 for falsifying travel expense reimbursements to Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine,. Between 2007 and 2015, while a physician at JHU ’s Division of Vascular and Interventional, Jean-Francois Geschwind, MD, submitted several fake requests for travel reimbursement that added up to hundreds of thousands of dollars. For example, in 2013, he received reimbursement from JHU for a two-week family vacation to Europe by claiming the pur pose of his trip was to give lectures about his work at JHU. He also finagled multi...

Using Historical Basketball Player Records to Investigate Height and Longevity
Height is a matter of importance to observers of basketball, so the records of professional players from past decades can be used to investigate the effects of height on longevity. Evidence to date strongly supports an inverse relationship in humans: the taller you are, the shorter your life expectancy, though the size of this effect is unclear and debated. The underlying reasons are thought to involve cancer risk, as taller people have more cells and thus more chances for something to go wrong, as well as lung function, and the influence of growth hormone metabolism on the pace of aging. To what degree does all of this ma...

Cynical Hawks Exploit North Korea Crisis to Torpedo Iran Agreement
Donald Trump ’sspeech to the UN General Assembly underscored his intention to adopt highly confrontational policies toward both North Korea and Iran.  He threatened to “totally destroy” North Korea in the event of war and re-emphasized Washington’s long-standing determination to compel Pyongyang to renounce its nuclear and ballistic missile programs. The president scorned Iran as “an economically depleted rogue state” and described the current multilateral nuclear agreement with Tehran as “an embarrassment” to the United States. If Trump is not merely engaging in bombast, Washington appears to be ginning-u...

A Safer Way To Legalize Marijuana
Eight US states, the District of Columbia, and the country of Uruguay have recently legalized the recreational use of marijuana, with Canada and more US states poised to do the same. The new laws include limits on youth access, operation of motor vehicles when using, and high-volume purchases or possession. However, none of the laws consider which kinds of marijuana products should and should not be legally sold. While we take no position on the overall desirability of marijuana legalization, we propose here that policy makers in favor of it consider only permitting the sale of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) extracts intended ...

I ' ve Been Sliding
The road to hell is paved with good intentions. I have been lazy this summer and taking it easy - in terms of not taking care of myself as much as I should. Why not? Summer time is nice weather. There is no snow and ice to trip me up. I usually feel better during the summer. But just because I feel better doesn ' t mean I can stop taking care of myself.With every doctor appointment, there are the reminders to eat healthy, blah, blah, blah. I usually reinforce my intentions. But I have been sliding, I have been lazy and haven ' t been taking care of myself. I have been pushing myself too much and not resting enough. I ...

Is bee venom a good anti-aging ingredient? Episode 163
Is bee venom a good anti-aging ingredient? Monika asks…Korean Bee Venom essence but it does seem to work. My question is the bee venom really magic or is there something else that removes the spots? RS: Thanks Monika…this gives me the perfect excuse time to remind listeners to go back to Episode 105 and listen to the story about how Perry got stung in the eye by a bee. If nothing else, just go the webpage and check out the picture of his face. It’s horrific. I’m not kidding. But let’s put my personal revulsion aside and try to figure out why this product seemed to work on Monika’s acne. PR: We found a study pub...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, July 3rd 2017
In conclusion, the analyses do not permit us to predict the trajectory that maximum lifespans will follow in the future, and hence provide no support for their central claim that the maximum lifespan of humans is "fixed and subject to natural constraints". This is largely a product of the limited data available for analysis, owing to the challenges inherent in collecting and verifying the lifespans of extremely long-lived individuals. A reply from Jan Vijg's research group The authors of the accompanying comment disagree with our finding of a limit to human lifespan. Although we thank them for alerting us...

One Sentence, or, Unpacking the Truth about the Founding of the Bank of France
When, in my days as a professor, I occasionally assigned term papers, I used to smile when students wondered out loud how they could possibly come up with enough to say to fill a whole 20 (or 15, or 5, or whatever) pages.  After all, the problem, once you got to be where I was, wasn’t having too much space: it was not having space enough to say what needed saying.  It was all I could do sometimes to squeeze my ideas into the 25 double-spaced typescript page-limit that prevailed among scholarly economics journals. These days I’m no longer compelled to wrestle with academic journal editors, thank goodness.  But I stil...

EFPIA Files Complaint Against French Law Promoting Off-Label Avastin Use
Earlier this week, EFPIA, Europe's pharmaceutical industry association, announced it had filed a complaint with the European Commission against the French “RTU Regime.” promoting the use of Roche's cancer drug Avastin for the off-label treatment of wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The decree allows the French medicines regulator (ANSM) to issue a temporary authorization for use of a product in an unauthorized indication, purely for economic purposes, notwithstanding the existence of an authorized alternative treatment. This development is troubling and contravenes European Community law and jurisprudence, wr...
