O CIP-CI (Centro Internacional de Políticas para o Crescimento Inclusivo), um órgão do PNUD em parceria com o governo brasileiro, e o site Mercado Ético estão publicando uma série de 17 artigos em português que debatem os desafios, os impactos e as perspectivas para os ODM (Objetivos de Desenvolvimento do Milênio)
Os ODM são um conjunto de metas socioeconômicas que os países da ONU se comprometeram a atingir até 2015, englobando temas como renda, educação, saúde, meio ambiente e igualdade entre os sexos. Os textos sobre as metas da ONU foram originalmente publicados em umaedição especial da revista Poverty in Focus, feita pelo CIP com o Instituto de Estudos do Desenvolvimento, do Reino Unido. Agora, eles foram traduzidos para o português e estão sendo disponibilizados no site do Mercado Ético, que vai publicá-los de segunda a sexta, até 8 de setembro./.../

The Role of Professionalism and Self-regulation in Detecting Impaired or Incompetent Physicians JAMA. 2010;304(2):210-212. doi:10.1001/jama.2010.945 The term professional is used in various ways. A professional might be a certified expert, someone devoted to the continuous study ("practice") of a complex craft, or someone granted the authority to carry out tasks and provide services that others are not allowed to perform. A professional might subsume personal interests to pursue a client's or the public's good. Or a professional, as compared with an amateur, might simply be someone paid for what he or she does. Given this range of meanings, questions about which occupations are professions, and what comprises professional behavior, are long-standing.1 Yet medicine is almost universally recognized as a "classic" profession.2 Moreover, regardless of how profession is defined, professionalism, like other "-isms" (consumerism, humanism, egotism, Catholicism, and the like), is a belief system. Specifically, professionalism can best be understood as an ideology declaring an important role for professions and professionals in organizing and delivering certain goods and services in society. The word professional provides some insights into this ideology. To profess, from the Latin pro-fat  r , means to speak forth or "to declare aloud or publicly."3 A profession, then, is a group of individuals speaking out, together, to declare and make public the shared values and standards that govern their work. A professional is a member of this group and professional actions are those that are in conformance with the shared and declared standards and values of the group. These standards are usually articulated in such public documents as codes of ethics, which aim to create an explicit covenant of trust between professionals, their clients, and society.4/.../ | |||||||||||
Hot Line Actually Only Lukewarm
By Peggy Peck, Executive Editor, MedPage TodayPublished: August 29, 2010
STOCKHOLM -- Intracoronary bone marrow cell transplantation extended survival in patients with chronic heart failure due to ischemic cardiomyopathy -- that was the good news. The bad news was that the finding was not "new" at all -- it had already been published.
Late today the European Society of Cardiology said it would sanction the researcher who reported the stem cell study by barring him from presenting research at ESC congresses for two years.
The ESC guidelines for Hot Line trials specifically state that the information submitted should be new, unpublished data. Yet, the STAR trial was accepted for presentation as a Hot Line trial at the ESC annual meeting here./.../

STOCKHOLM -- Adding margarine enriched with omega-3 fatty acids as a dietary intervention did not prevent second heart attacks in older men and women at risk for worsening heart disease, researchers said here.
The study results are doubly disappointing since the margarine intervention did initially reduce events, but by 30 months the evidence of that benefit had disappeared, said Daan Kromhout, MPH, PhD, of Wageningen University in the Netherlands./.../

brain networks : exercise training in older adults
Plasticity of brain networks in a randomized intervention trial of exercise training in older adults
Research has shown the human brain is organized into separable functional networks during rest and varied states of cognition, and that aging is associated with specific network dysfunctions. The present study used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to examine low-frequency (.008<.08 Hz) coherence of cognitively relevant and sensory brain networks in older adults who participated in a one-year intervention trial, comparing the effects of aerobic and non-aerobic fitness training on brain function and cognition. Results showed that aerobic training improved the aging brain’s resting functional efficiency in higher-level cognitive networks. One year of walking increased functional connectivity between aspects of the frontal, posterior, and temporal cortices within the Default Mode Network and a Frontal Executive Network, two brain networks central to brain dysfunction in aging. Length of training was also an important factor. Effects in favor of the walking group were observed only after 12 months of training, compared to non-significant trends after six months. A non-aerobic stretching and toning group also showed increased functional connectivity in the DMN after six months and in a Frontal Parietal Network after 12 months, possibly reflecting experience-dependent plasticity. Finally, we found that changes in functional connectivity were behaviorally relevant. Increased functional connectivity was associated with greater improvement in executive function. Therefore the study provides the first evidence for exercise-induced functional plasticity in large-scale brain systems in the aging brain, using functional connectivity techniques, and offers new insight into the role of aerobic fitness in attenuating age-related brain dysfunction.

STOCKHOLM -- Certain genetic patterns carried on the Y chromosome from father to son may hold the key to the "male disadvantage" in heart disease, researchers suggested.
Men carrying the I haplogroup within the male-specific region of the Y chromosome also carried 55% higher age-adjusted coronary artery disease risk (P=0.0002) compared with all others, Nilesh J. Samani, MD, of the University of Leicester, England, and colleagues found in pooled results of two British cohorts.
Y chromosome haplogroup didn't correlate with traditional risk factors in the study, indicating it is an independent predictor not explained by age, LDL or HDL cholesterol, hypertension, or smoking status, the researchers suggested.
"Genetic variation in the Y chromosome is a novel independent risk factor for coronary artery disease," they concluded in a presentation slated for the European Society of Cardiology meeting here next week./.../

WIKILEAKS PUBLISHES CIA MEMO
The whistle-blower website WikiLeaks on Wednesday posted what it said was an internal CIA report into the perception that the United States exports terrorism, but one U.S. official said it does not divulge spectacular developments.
The three-page document, dated February 2, 2010, asks, “What If Foreigners See the United States as an ‘Exporter of Terrorism?’ ”
“These sorts of analytic products — clearly identified as coming from the agency’s ‘Red Cell’ — are designed to simply provoke thought and present different points of view,” said CIA spokesman George Little.
A U.S. intelligence official said, “it’s always disturbing when classified information is inappropriately disclosed.” However the official added, “this is not a blockbuster paper.”/.../
Tabagismo x Justiça Brasileira
Mensagem da
Sobre a luta anti-tabágica uma notícia triste: as decisões judiciais estão sendo proferidas no sentido de negar procedência aos pleitos dos fumantes, a indústria da morte segue vitoriosa nas demandas indenizatórias... Os médicos precisariam elaborar laudos mais objetivos e claros afirmando o nexo causal entre o tabagismo e a morte do ex-fumante (tabagismo como causa mortis) ou mesmo entre o fumo e a dependência química da nicotina que por si só já configura uma doença (psíquica/física),ao meu ver não precisaria sequer existir uma doença tabaco-relacionada, como câncer por ex., para caracterizar o dano (moral sobretudo). Tínhamos que nos unir: juristas e médicos, quem sabe informando mais os nossos magistrados (palestras dos médicos especialistas para os juízes e desembargadores, acadêmicos de Direito, advogados,etc).
Eu penso que o erro vem da ignorância, sociedade mais civilizada (e mais justa/democrática) é bem educada...Então temos educar este povo!Mas sinto que ainda estamos longe de conseguir exterminar este mal...luta inglória essa...e agora o crack está dizimando os jovens...Problema de saúde pública grave, não é mesmo?

DNA: HITLER MORE BERBER TRIBESMAN THAN ARYAN SUPERMAN
HITLER MORE BERBER TRIBESMAN THAN ARYAN SUPERMAN - AND JEWISH, TO BOOT - DNA TESTS
24 August 2010Adolf Hitler may have owed more to the ’subhuman’ races he tried to exterminate than to his ‘Aryan’ compatriots, according to new finding published in Belgium this week.
In research for the Flemish-language magazine Knack, journalist Jean-Paul Mulders traced Hitler’s living relatives in the Fuhrer’s native Austria, as well as the United States.
“The results of this study are surprising,” said Ronny Decorte, a geneticist interviewed by Knack.
“Hitler would not have been happy.”
50 Best Websites 2010
Vimeo is the video-streaming service of choice for creative types — the indie darling to YouTube's blockbuster. For casual viewers, Vimeo is the place for shorter, artsier clips. Search for "President" and you'll find yourself watching a humorous animated pop-up book that catalogs George W. Bush's presidency. Enter the same term into YouTube and you'll find relevant music videos and old news clips. See the difference? The site recently announced a new embeddable HTML5 player, compatible with Apple devices that don't support Flash, and a new Vimeo channel for Roku set-top boxes that streams staff picks as well as your account's queue straight to your TV.
