Stand While You Work
Sitting, especially sitting 10 hours a day, is extremely bad for your health. Not only is it bad for your posture, but it increases your risk of cardiovascular disease. A study published in the journal Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise showed that males had an almost 65 higher chance of dy...

That was stupid (on my part)
They (the all knowing all powerful they) insist that patients should get and keep all of their medical test results. They say its the smart thing to do. So being smart, yesterday I went off to get a copy of my CT scan results so I can read it myself and obey 'them'.Now I'm sorry I did.I know the value of having a doctor interpret the results but the ER doctor had already told me no injuries, just some arthritis in my neck.I also know that some things show up on test results that the radiologists comment on but aren't really important and can be ignored.But now I want to call my doctor to find out if I should be concerned. ...

HeLa genome sequenced w/o obtaining permission/consent from family - some comments and background
We report a compendium of genomic variation (CN, SNVs and SVs) as well as the first HeLa genome draft, which are available as VCF and FASTA files respectively
We provide a tool to perform the translation of coordinates between GRch37 and our HeLa reference,
Most variants in these HeLa cells thus represent common variants in the human population. The African-American population (to which Henrietta Lacks belonged) is spread between the African and European clusters, with the HeLa sample overlapping both. This demonstrates that although the genomic landscape of HeLa is strikingly different from that of a normal hu...

Service Member Shares Vaccine Experience
From an anonymous service member,
“I do not know what-all was in these vaccines, but I thought I would share my story of three vaccines, all received in the last three years in the US Navy. I had never had a serious reaction to any vaccine before, and it was after the third round of it that I decided to do some research for myself. Now I am carrying my first child, and I am grateful that I have done this research so that I can spare my child the results of a criminal undertaking in the form of mass vaccination.
First up: bird flu.

Physicians: Improve the experience of communication
One of the toughest situations in oncology is the discussion about next steps, particularly when it comes to treatment of recurrent or metastatic disease. I believe very much that it is realistic to offer a patient the hope of cancer as a “chronic disease,” that treatment can result in disease stability, even though I cannot predict how chronic “chronic” is.I was reminded of this during an exchange with Joan, one of my patients with cervical cancer. She had been living well despite metastatic disease for over 15 months, but had just relapsed after being off chemotherapy for six months. We met to review her scans, t...

“Do you have any children?”
Every two-three years the Italian Cervical Cancer Screening Programme (CCSP) sends all women a letter with a pap smear appointment already set up at a nearby health unit. This is a FREE service, mind you. All you have to do is show up at the appointment, or call to reschedule, if the date chosen by the [...]

Cleaning out the inbox
I've gotten a couple of press releases lately, which I usually ignore because I don't like to be told what to write about, if you know what I mean, but these I do commend to your attention.This Time Magazine article by Steven Brill has gotten some coverage in the blogosphere, but it won't hurt to link it here as well. The general idea is that hospitals and other health care provider institutions don't tell you ahead of time what prices they will charge, and a lot of those prices end up looking totally outrageous. They also vary enormously, and seemingly arbitrarily. Insurance companies, which you would think would have a l...

The differences between Armenia’s capital, Yerevan, and the rest of the country are vast. While Yerevan has most of the modern-day conveniences you could ask for, the villages I visited in the Armavir region have populations between 300...
