AMA seeks clear path for doctors' re-entry into medicineRecognition is growing that physicians' careers may involve time away from clinical practice -- and that they need a straightforward way to return. By VICTORIA STAGG ELLIOTT, amednews staff. *Posted Feb. 28, 2011.* Fifteen years ago, Mark Greco, MD, an internist in Yardley, Pa., left clinical practice to work for the pharmaceutical industry because he became a single parent and needed a more regular schedule than he had as a critical care intensivist.

ARBS and amyloid
ARBs May Curb Amyloid Deposition in the Brain Megan Brooks Authors and Disclosures September 13, 2012 – Angiotensin-receptor blocker (ARB) therapy may cut the risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD) by reducing amyloid deposition in the brain, a new study hints.

"To our knowledge, this is the first human evidence to suggest that treatment with ARB... mais »

Why Riots?
We are now one year away from global riots, complex systems theorists saySeptember 11, 2012 [image: Riots] (Credit: Marco Lagi, Karla Z. Bertrand, Yaneer Bar-Yam) What’s the number one reason we riot? Hunger — food becoming too scarce or too expensive. So argues a group of complex systems theorists in Cambridge, and it makes sense, *Motherboard* reports.

The number one determinant was soarin... mais »

WHOA, DUDE, ARE WE INSIDE A COMPUTER RIGHT NOW?THIS NASA SCIENTIST THINKS WE COULD BE By Ben Makuch *Illustration By Julian Garcia* Two years ago, Rich Terrile appeared on *Through the Wormhole*, the Science Channel’s show about the mysteries of life and the universe. He was invited onto the program to discuss the theory that the human experience can be boiled down to something like an incredibly advanced, metaphysical version of The Sims. It’s an idea that every college student with a gravity bong and *The Matrix* on DVD has thought of before, but Rich is a well-regarded scientist... mais »

Message from Prof. Bernard Lown
Bernard Lown, MD *http://www.youtube.com/embed/XRCIzZHpFtY?rel=0* 15:02 (1 hora atrás) Dear Friends, If we can do such miraculous God-like acts as shown in this unbelievable landing on Mars, why can't we feed the hungry, house the homeless, educate the young, heal those hurting, green the planet and at last make human beings deserve the name human by bringing an end to violence and war?! In Peace, Bernard Lown

Pode ser que o montante traduzido em moeda nos impressione mais do que o sofrimento humano de pacientes e de profissionais estressados, os absurdos da ineficiência e da falta de cobertura, motivos pelos quais a discussão sobre reforma vem se arrastando, e este seja um dos temas principais da atual campanha política... mais »
