Richard HortonEmail the author Richard Horton Published: 22 July 2017 *Selecionado pela AMICOR Maria Inês Reinert Azambuja* - Why is the global health community failing to respond effectively to the rising burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs)? The answer can be summed up in one word—fear. Fear of a species-threatening pandemic. A pervasive fear that has displaced all other health concerns. Anxiety among political elites is causing a recalibration of priorities among global health leaders. In his first speech to staff in Geneva this month, W... mais »

Simone Veil Barbara Casassus Published: 22 July 2017 [image: Opens large image] Susana Vera/Reuters View Large Image Former French Health Minister and architect of the law legalising abortion in France. Born in Nice, France, on July 13, 1927, she died at home in Paris, France, on June 30, 2017, aged 89 years. “I forgive you for having poured water over my head”, might seem an unlikely accolade from a 69-year-old man when paying tribute to his mother at an official ceremony with full state honours.

Microbiome
THE MICROBIOME -- 7/20/17 - 0 COMMENTS *Today's encore selection -- from "Microbiomics: The Next Big Thing?" by Lisa J. Bain.* It is estimated that we each have 10 trillion of our own cells, accompanied by an even greater 100 trillion "good" bacterial cells. These bacterial cells, along with assorted viruses, fungi and other microbes, collectively constitute what is often referred to as the *microbiome*. Researchers now believe the microbiome is essential for the proper functioning of the body -- and that antibiotics often deplete the microbiome, impairing body function and c... mais »
AD' Blood test
Blood Test Identifies Key Alzheimer’s Markerby Neuroscience News Researchers have devised a new blood test that can detect if amyloid had begun to accumulate in the brain. The test help physicians diagnose Alzheimer's disease in a cheaper, less invasive way than currently available.

Avenida Tênis Clube - Santa Maria -100 anos
Este dia 18 de julho de 2017 marca o centenário do Avenida Tênis Clube, fundado por um grupo de moças santa-marienses, várias delas recém-saídas do internato em colégios de Porto Alegre. Em uma reunião das jovens amigas, em janeiro de 1917, no palacete residencial do médico Astrogildo de Azevedo, intendente municipal e pai de uma delas, Aracy Pinto de Azevedo, elas planejavam sobre o que fazer na pequena Santa Maria de cerca de 15.000 habitantes. Haviam terminado os estudos e não mais voltariam aos colégios da capital. Foi então que uma das jovens, Stellita Mariense de Campos, teve um... mais »

Living with Death
How to Live with DeathPsychoanalyst Adam Phillips on how Darwin and Freud reframed our mortality as an organizing principle of human life.BY MARIA POPOVA [image: How to Live with Death] Our lifelong struggle to learn how to live is inseparable from two facts only: that of our mortality and that of our dread of it, dread with an edge of denial. Half a millennium ago — a swath of time strewn with the lives and deaths of everyone who came before us — Montaigne captured this paradox in his magnificent meditation on death and the art of living: “To lament that we shall not be alive a hund... mais »
Elovanoids
*Newly Discovered Elovanoids Called a 'Transformative New Concept of Biology'* Elovanoids are the first bioactive chemical messengers made from omega-3 very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (VLC-PUFAs,n-3) that are released in response to cell injury or when cells are confronted with adversities for survival. This discovery provides the first evidence of the existence of elovanoids and of their significant role in protecting and sustaining retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) and photoreceptor cell survival. The research is in *Scientific Reports*. (full open access)
