Tribute to Charles Dotter
Happy Birthday Charles Dotter **********************Charles Theodore Dotter (14 June 1920 – 15 February 1985) was a pioneering US vascular radiologist who is credited with developing interventional radiology. Dotter, together with his trainee Dr Melvin P. Judkins, described angioplasty in 1964. Dotter invented angioplasty and the catheter-delivered stent, which were first used to treat peripheral arterial disease. Charles Dotter is commonly known as the "Father of Interventional Radiology."

How to Write an Effective To-Do List
I remember trying out my first hour-by-hour schedule to help me get things done when I was 10. Wasn’t really my thing. I’ve since retired the hourly schedule, but I still rely on a daily to-do list.
I went through the same motions every night in university. I wrote out, by hand, my to-do list for the next day, ranked by priority. Beside each task I wrote down the number of hours each task should take.
This was and still is a habit and finding a system that works has been a struggle for me. I’ve tested out a variety of methods, bought a number of books on the subject, and experimented: color-coded writing, Post-it not...

A collection of polioviruses
In midsummer 1986, five years after starting my poliovirus laboratory at Columbia University, I received a letter from Frederick L. Schaffer, a virologist at the University of California, Berkeley, asking if I would like to have his collection of poliovirus stocks. He was retiring and the samples needed a home, otherwise they would be destroyed. Of course I jumped at the opportunity to have a bit of virology history.
Three boxes full of dry ice arrived in the laboratory in August 1986. They contained sixty-six containers of different polioviruses that Dr. Schaffer had collected over the years. All three poliovirus serotype...

Liberty Mutual: A Blow to Health Care Transparency
By CHARLES ORNSTEIN
The U.S. Supreme Court dealt a blow this week to nascent efforts to track the quality and cost of health care, ruling that a 1974 law precludes states from requiring that every health care claim involving their residents be submitted to a massive database.
The arguments were arcane, but the effect is clear: We’re a long way off from having a true picture of the country’s health care spending, especially differences in the way hospitals treat patients and doctors practice medicine.
It also means that, for the time being at least, we’ll remain heavily reliant on data being released by Medicare, the ...

The Return of the Angry Granny State
By CHARLES SILVER
Texas should call itself The Granny State. That’s because it’s a nanny state in which the public officials who run the place have the values of a tea-totaling, Bible-thumping biddy who knows how God wants everyone to live and can’t resist telling them. No buying liquor on Sundays when people are supposed to be at church. No gambling ever. No whacky-weed for medicinal uses or recreation, even in the privacy of one’s home. No gay marriage, preferably no gays, and no transgender folk deciding which restrooms to use. And, of course, no sex, sex education, birth control, or abortions. Women should hav...

The FDA Needs to Set Standards for Using Artificial Intelligence in Drug Development
By CHARLES K. FISHER, PhD
Artificial intelligence has become a crucial part of our technological infrastructure and the brain underlying many consumer devices. In less than a decade, machine learning algorithms based on deep neural networks evolved from recognizing cats in videos to enabling your smartphone to perform real-time translation between 27 different languages. This progress has sparked the use of AI in drug discovery and development.
Artificial intelligence can improve efficiency and outcomes in drug development across therapeutic areas. For example, companies are developing AI tec...

Happy Birthday, Charles Darwin
Today is Charles Darwin's 204th birthday. Coincidently, Darwin was born the same day, same year, as Lincoln. Check this out: "The sight of a feather in a peacock's tail, whenever I gaze at it, makes me sick!" he wrote.
If Darwin were alive today, he would probably say Fox News makes him sick, but that's another story. What was going on with Darwin was this: His work-in-progress theory of natural selection was based on...

The Origins of Anxiety
According to author and psychiatrist Jeffrey P. Kahn, M.D., in his book Angst: Origins of Anxiety & Depression, today’s disorders might’ve been yesterday’s valuable social instincts.
Today’s panic disorder might’ve prevented our ancestors from venturing to potentially dangerous places, far away from their families and tribes.
Today’s social anxiety might’ve maintained social hierarchies and peace in primitive times.
Today’s obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) might’ve helped our ancestors keep tidy and safe nests.
In part one of his book, Kahn delves into the social instincts that underlie these fi...

Best of Our Blogs: October 22, 2013
Our world is made up of good and bad days. As Charles Dickens writes in The Tale of Two Cities, “It was the best of times and the worst of times.” Yet when fraught with illness, we can get so preoccupied with getting better we lose track of the happy moments.
It’s the same when we watch the news on TV or search for information regarding our symptoms online. Instead of what’s working, our mind tends to zero in on what’s not. Being cognizant of joyful moments, does not mean we negate negative ones. It is not about being in denial or being a Pollyanna. It’s about recognizing all the complex...
