Repurposing for Cervical Cancer
One of the questions I was asked after my talk at Illinois was about repurposing drugs. I replied that there might be some opportunities there, but I didn't think that there were many big ones that had been missed, unless new biology/target ID turned up. Well, here's a news story that contradicts that view of mine, and I'm welcome to be wrong this time. Researchers in Manchester have been working on the use of lopinavir (an existing drug for HIV) as a therapy for HPV, the cause of most cervical cancers. There's a vaccine for it now, but that doesn't do much for women who are already diagnosed with probable or confirmed d...

Article social networks, meaning and redundancy
This is very much a 'thinking aloud' post. In October last year I posted Structure in Trip an article that described the social networks of articles in Trip, based on clickstream data. The analysis allowed me to produce graphs like the one below (based on the clickstream data of people searching for UTI.The structure is clear and I've labelled a few, the most prominent being UTIs and cranberry (in the bottom left of the graph).  I'm increasingly of the opinion that this can be used to speed up the review process and also improve the search experience (but search is for another day). In social network analysis there is...

Voices for Vaccines: 11 Facts Show How it’s a Propaganda Ploy for Emory University, CDC, and Big Pharma
Conclusion The Voices for Vaccines program at the Task Force for Global Health may be administered by a few mothers, but they are not the ones pulling the strings behind the scenes. The information in this article reveals who keeps the lights on for the website and the Task Force organization as a whole. Furthermore, the past, present and future relationships with the Centers for Disease Control, Emory University, and pharmaceutical companies should immediately raise a red flag for any parent. Especially when the message calls for you to blindly trust doctors injecting dangerous chemicals into your child. If you want to ta...

Synapses
My memory failed me on Christmas when JD asked what movie we saw the Christmas before. Normally providing more details than JD wants, and able to relive most episodic memories, I couldn't recall and still can't now six weeks later.Many people who have read my book have asked what I used to detail my cancer journeys. For the first, my parents kept a three-ring notebook with test results, health research and correspondence. For the second, I emailed my friends Bubble and Hamburgers daily. Bubble saved my emails and printed them for me years later. I used those materials to write my book, but I had nothing else besides lightn...

Kelly’s Cervical Cancer Journey
Below are experts from Kelly, author and creator of the blog My Cervical Cancer Journey. In her blog, she details her fight with cervical cancer from 2010 to the present.   My name is Kelly and I was diagnosed with cervical cancer stage 2 in May 2010.  I had no idea what I was in for!  You hear the word cancer and you have two choices:  curl up in a ball or you fight.  I am not a doctor but want to share my story from the patient point of view to help others. I was 41 years old at the time of the diagnoses.  I am a single mother of triplets.  I was scared.  My symptoms were constant bleeding.  During the same tim...

Cervical Health Awareness Month
January is Cervical Health Awareness Month, and is a chance to raise awareness about how women can protect themselves from human papillomavirus (HPV) and cervical cancer. HPV, the most common sexually transmitted disease, is a major cause of cervical cancer, but it can be prevented with the HPV vaccine. Regular screening and followup is a good way to prevent cervical cancer. The National Cervical Cancer Coalition, in conjunction with the U.S. Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, offers this toolkit to promote cervical health: http://1.usa.gov/19QIx5r

The Contraceptive Mandate: Public Health Versus Religious Freedom
In addition to Marcia Boumil (photo and bio above), this post is co-authored by Gregory Curfman, the executive editor of the New England Journal of Medicine. On November 26, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to address the constitutionality of the "contraceptive mandate" imposed under the Patient Protection and the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the second major ACA-related challenge in the last two years. The ACA requires most employers with more than 50 employees to provide health insurance that covers preventive healthcare, including women’s preventive care, without co-pays or deductibles. Under the regulations implementing ...

Our IVF success story - a test of determination, love and professional support
It was the 3rd year of our marriage -2011. We lost our first baby girl at full term due to meconium aspiration. Just 2 days before this fatal day I had lost my mother to another doctors’ negligence. As a precaution, I had insisted our ob-gynaecologist on the next day of my moms’ death to perform C-section on my wife and then I could also break the news to my wife. She ignored my request despite my in-laws visiting her on the same day with my request to her clinic. All along she kept telling us that it was a precious pregnancy , a successful IUI outcome after diagnosis of mild endometriosis. A well planned c-section was...

Losing a patient to hospice
I lost another patient to hospice last week. She was 49-years-old. Three years ago, she was diagnosed with stage 3 cervical cancer. She was treated with surgery and chemotherapy and went into remission and stayed there until she died. After the chemotherapy, she stayed anemic. She was weak, didn’t take care of her insulin properly and didn’t eat. Her kidneys slowly lost function because of her noncompliance, her HgA1c climbed to the teens and when she died her creatinine was 3.6. Her weight hovered around 85 pounds despite 800 mg of megesterol and 40 mg of Marinol daily. Continue reading ... Your patients are ...

Overcast with a Chance of Showers
Summer 2012After my rock-climbing group vacation last summer, my new friend, KMac, read my memoir. My last chapter is an excursion into self-discovery—the boy who grew up with immense suffering becomes a man without much. I list all the people in my life who have passed away resulting from cancer: three grandparents, some patients I met in treatment, a friend’s dad, and some others. The list was shorter than expected because until recently, I pushed the cancer community away.Of the 15 cancer “survivors” on our vacation, some were still in treatment and some would begin again soon. This is the nature of young people...

Sisters Claim Merck's Gardasil Vaccine Caused Ovary Problems
Six years ago, Madelyne and Olivia Meylor were vaccinated with Gardasil. Like millions of parents, their mother agreed to have the teenage sisters vaccinated to ward off the human papillomavirus that can lead to cervical cancer. But within a couple of years, both were diagnosed with premature ovarian failure and were told they will be unable to get pregnant. They now experience signs of menopause. And so, the Meylor family has filed a claim with the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program in what appears to be the first case before the federal program to allege that Gardasil is responsible for this type of injury. As ...

Aids Prevention: Africa’s Circumcision Challenge
There is certainly room for confusion. Although Kabanda’s presentation is thorough, one page of the flip chart, titled ‘MC does not offer 100% protection’ shows a picture of a man chasing two women down the street while throwing his condoms away. Other benefits are overstated: You are preventing your partner from cervical cancer, Kabanda says, when, in fact, the reduction in risk is far from complete. Outside the clinic in Lusaka, it is clear Marvin has also received mixed messages from his counselling session. We were told there was a sixty-something per cent of being I don’t know if it’s fro...
