Trump Plan For Pharmaceutical Importation A Small Step In The Right Direction
On July 31 Secretary of Health and Humans Services Alex Azar announced a proposal that would allow US pharmacies, distributors, and states to import drugs from Canada that are sold there by US drug makers at prices well below the prices for which they are sold in the U.S. US pharmaceutical companies sell many of their products at much lower prices demanded by Canada’s central health ministry called Health Canada. The Secretary was authorized to implement this proposed policy by theMedicare Modernization Act of 2003.This idea has been long opposed by US pharmaceutical companies. They argue that the Food and Drug Admini...

Breakfast cereal: a memoir
As awful for health as they are, having played such a huge role in childhood breakfasts, thoughts of breakfast cereals still conjure up a host of memories.
Deep within the haze of my childhood memories, buried beneath recollections of nerdy high school days, a marriage gone sour, and a brother-in-law midlife crisis involving duct tape, three members of the local PTA, and a VW bus, are images of the mornings I sat with my two sisters at our kitchen table in suburban New Jersey, each of us slurping a bowl of Trix, Lucky Charms, or Fruit Loops cereal, still recovering from a late night of Bewitched and Mission Impossible.

What Has A.I. In Medicine Ever Done For Us? At Least 45 Things!
Remember Monty Python’s
brilliant Life of Brian movie scene where the Palestinian insurgent commando,
planning the abduction of Pilate’s wife in return for all the horrors they had
to endure from the Roman Empire, asks the rhetorical question: what have the
Romans ever done for us? With the hype and overmarketing, not to speak about
the fears around A.I, we asked the same question. What has A.I. in medicine
ever done for us? Well, we found at least 45 things.
I have 45 responses to
the pressing question on everyone’s mind who is interested in healthcare but
tired of the hype or the doomsday
scenarios around A.I.: ...

People Have A Hard-To-Explain Bias Against Experimental Testing of Policies And Interventions, Preferring Just To See Them Implemented
By Jesse Singal
Randomised experiments (also known as A/B testing) are an absolutely critical tool for evaluating everything from online marketing campaigns to new pharmaceutical drugs to school curricula. Rather than making decisions based on ideology, intuition or educated guess-work, you randomise people to one of two groups and expose one group to intervention A (one version of a social media headline, a new drug, or whatever, depending on the context ), one group to intervention B (a different version of the headline, a different drug etc), and compare outcomes for the two groups.
To anyone who believes in evidenc...

There Is Limited Evidence To Support The Widely Held Belief That Psychotherapy Changes The Body As Well As The Mind
By guest blogger Tomasz Witkowski
Looking at the latest epidemiological data, it could be argued that we are in the midst of a pandemic of mental illness, of dimensions never before seen in human history. The WHO estimates that over 350 million people around the world are presently suffering from depression, which constitutes almost 5-6 per cent of the population. At its extreme, depression may lead to suicide, by which it is estimated that around 1 million people die every year. And the numbers continue growing. Faced with this rising tide of illness, it is impossible to overestimate the importance of hard facts and data...

8 Things Autistic People Wished You Knew about April
Every April, autism takes a center stage in global awareness. All around the world, well-meaning, good-hearted people “Light it up blue” for Autism Awareness Month, and they decorate their social media with the puzzle piece frames and the jigsaw rainbow awareness ribbons.

For American Indians, Health is a Human and Legal Right
Sam Aptekar
Phuoc Le
By PHUOC LE, MD and SAM APTEKAR
Most will be surprised to learn that American Indians and Alaska Natives represent the only populations in the United States with a legal birthright to health care.[1] Even though Article 25 of the UN’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights declares, “everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including…medical care and necessary social services,” U.S. federal policy only guarantees this human right to enrolled tribal members. The source of this juridical entitlement ...
