Enjoy Your Emotions, Part IIEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
My last column was mostly about two emotions, grief and fear. This column will concern two other emotions, shame and anger, and also another kind of stress, bodily tension such as illness and fatigue. Emotions and feelings are at core physical, rather than only mental. Sadness is the feeling we get when bodily preparations to cry are not carried out. In this view, crying is the orgasm of a state of bodily arousal: grief. The habit of controlling emotions by ignoring them turns out to be a huge problem. Over the long haul, unresolved emotional arousals can build up to the point of continuous painful feelings and/or tension....

The Quarterly Review of Biology, Volume 84, Issue 4, Page 357-390, December 2009. ABSTRACT Biogeographers study all patterns in the geographic variation of life, from the spatial variation in genetic and physiological characteristics of cells and individuals, to the diversity and dynamics of biological communities among continental biotas or across oceanic archipelagoes. The field of island biogeography, in particular, has provided some genuinely transformative insights for the biological sciences, especially ecology and evolutionary biology. Our purpose here is to review the historical development of island biogeogr...

Laparoscopic Surgery in the Management of Complex Aortic Disease: Techniques and Lessons Learned.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Laparoscopic vascular surgery must be assessed in the context of both open and endovascular interventions. The development of improved laparoscopic equipment and endoscopic techniques makes performance of laparoscopy easier, but endovascular interventions still hold wide appeal because they are minimally invasive and are easier to master by vascular surgeons. Despite decreased morbidity and recovery time, endovascular interventions have inferior durability and higher reintervention rates when compared with open aortoiliac interventions. In particular, after endovascular aneurysm repair, patients need lifelong surveilla...

Learning the lessons from conflict: Pre-hospital cervical spine stabilisation following ballistic neck traumaEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: Penetrating ballistic trauma to the neck is associated with a high mortality rate. Our data suggests that it is very unlikely that penetrating ballistic trauma to the neck will result in an unstable cervical spine in survivors. In a hazardous environment (e.g. shooting incidents or terrorist bombings), the risk/benefit ratio of mandatory spinal immobilisation is unfavourable and may place medical teams at prolonged risk. In addition cervical collars may hide potential life-threatening conditions. (Source: Injury)

Clinical trial design in neonatal pharmacology: effect of center differences, with lessons from the pediatric oncology cooperative research experience.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Survival for premature neonates has improved dramatically over the past 20 years; however, there has been minimal improvement in prematurity-associated morbidities. Morbidity rates and assessment of outcomes vary across neonatology intensive care units (NICUs). Here, we address the reasons underlying these differences, note the impact that this center variation has on trial design and interpretation, and highlight the success of the efforts in pediatric oncology to develop standards of care through the conduct of multicenter clinical trials.

General lessons from large-scale studies to identify human cancer predisposition genesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
There are now about 100 genes known to cause Mendelian inherited cancer syndromes, but these only explain a minor part of the familial clustering of the common cancers. The increased familial relative risk of cancer in the general population must largely involve genes of low- or moderate-penetrance. Until recently, attempts to identify cancer predisposition genes with low penetrance had proved similarly unrewarding. However, in the past 2 years, developments in this area have been rapid. In particular, the 'common disease-common variant' model of predisposition has come to the fore. In this model, alleles of high frequency...

Effect of Increased Exercise in School Children on Physical Fitness and Endothelial Progenitor Cells. A Prospective Randomized Trial.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions-Regular physical activity by means of daily school exercise lessons has a significant positive effect on physical fitness (VO2max). Furthermore, the number of circulating progenitor cells can be increased, and there is a positive trend in body mass index-standard deviation score reduction and motor ability improvement. Therefore, we conclude that primary prevention by means of increasing physical activity should start in childhood. Clinical Trial Registration-URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov.

They note that the Global Fund, the US President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), and the GAVI Alliance are major investors in health systems, and argue that these investments have led to hiring more health workers, refurbishing health centres, purchasing essential equipment, and expanding laboratory capacity.

We agree with Ann Starrs that many important causes of ill health in low-income and middle-income countries are seriously underfunded, and that “general funding for health as well as specifically for AIDS must increase significantly”. The momentum created by the global AIDS response has already led to increased funding for health, but clearly not enough. Additionally, efficiency gains can be made in HIV interventions, and we should do as much as we can to ensure that the synergies between the AIDS response and other health programmes are optimised.

Abstract It is now well established that the onset of adult diseases such as heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and hypertension are linked to an adverse uterine growth environment, in particular through maternal nutrition, during development of the individual. The geographical distribution of the incidence rate of heart disease is similar to that of osteoporosis. This may indicate a link between maternal nutrition during pregnancy and the subsequent risk of developing osteoporosis in the offspring. This review summarises what we know to date, from animal models, about maternal nutrition and the subseque...
