Diabete Mélito: Convite para debate
Achutti: no site publicamos um interessante artigo do colega Augusto Pimazzoni sobre a suspensão pelo FDA do estudo ACCORD.
Discute-se a validade dos trial, os equívocos das amostras, etc. Gerou um debate muito interessante e que está publicado no link:

Ficaria feliz se mais algum dos AMICORS participassem da discussão.
Um grande abraço

Developmental Determinants of Disease/Health
Available online at: http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/doi/full/10.1111/j.1742-7843.2007.00169.x
The proceedings (the Faroes statement and 25 invited papers) are now freely available at the journal website:

The articles demonstrate that the issue of adverse effects during early development is becoming a crucial issue also in toxicology and environmental health. While developmental biologists, nutritionists, and physiologists have explored the science of "developmental programming", the related perspective in regard to adverse effects of environmental stressors is only now becoming apparent.

The Lancet: Maternal and Child Undernutrition
Website: http://go.worldbank.org/7Q8VB5QK90
The new Lancet series on nutrition, co-authored and co-financed by the World Bank, depicts the lamentable state of under-nutrition worldwide, and a corresponding negligence on the part of the development community to meet the challenge decisively. Under-nutrition represents the non-income face of poverty. And the world is off track on meeting this goal.
