Dia do Médico 2014
*De Médicos e Medicina* *Artigo que enviei para o Jornal local ZH, mas que não foi publicado. Ofereço-o com meu abraço, aos AMICOR, na maioria colegas médicos.* É curioso e intrigante observar o crescente prestígio e valorização da Medicina, enquanto médicos e pacientes estejam cada vez mais insatisfeitos com a prática. As ciências biomédicas (não confundir com medicina) têm se desenvolvido vertiginosamente na esteira das conquistas científicas e tecnológicas permitindo a realização de diagnósticos e tratamentos até há bem pouco inimagináveis. Estes recursos tornam-se cada vez mais c...mais »
Jornal da SBC
*O amigo e ilustre colega Aristóteles Comte de Alencar Fo. homenageou-nos na edição de setembro do Jornal da SBC, escolhendo-nos para sua página de Memória da Cardiologia. Ao agradecer-lhe pela carinhosa lembrança, disse-lhe que ficara muito contente por ter incluído minha esposa, colega e companheira de sessenta e três anos, Valderês Antonietta Robinson Achutti, Ela que me desencaminhou do propósito de seguir engenharia, e me seduziu duplamente, quando com sua beleza e entusiasmo surgiu em minha cidade (Santa Maria), em 1951, com o sonho de ser médica e de construir um hospital.* *... mais »

myths about the brain
How teachers’ myths about the brain are hampering teachingOctober 17, 2014 Photographs of the left and right midsagittal sections of Einstein’s brain (credit: the National Museum of Health and Medicine) Teachers in the UK, Holland, Turkey, Greece and China were presented with seven “neuromyths” and asked whether they believe them to be true. A quarter or more of teachers in the UK and Turkey believe a student’s brain would shrink if they drank less than six to eight glasses of water a day, while around half or more of those surveyed believe a student’s brain is only 10 per cent active ... mais »
Exercise anti-ageing
Exercise may be the best anti-ageing pill - 10 October 2014 by *Clare Wilson* - Magazine issue 2990. *Subscribe and save* - For similar stories, visit the *Sport* Topic Guide IT COULD be the biggest killer you've never heard of: the weakening and loss of muscle that happens as we get older. Muscle loss is no longer seen as just a side effect of disease and frailty – it's also a prime cause. As well as contributing to falls, muscle loss has serious knock-on effects on metabolism (see "Life-saving muscle"). In future, muscle-boosting drugs could aid those unable to maintain ... mais »

Atonement
*ATONEMENT* By Thomas Insel on October 8, 2014 One of my first meetings when I arrived at NIMH 12 years ago was with board members of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). I asked them how NIMH could be helpful. One board member’s request was especially memorable. “Declare a day of atonement,” she suggested. When I saw this same board member last month at the annual NAMI meeting, we both recalled that 2002 meeting with a touch of regret. I wished I had had a better response to her request. And, as she said to me last month, “I wished I had asked for a week.”/.../
