Which Is Right?
Lundi 21 Juillet 2008 - 21:00 - 5 mois, 2 semaines depuis - Presse généraliste - The Washington Post (health)
I can't tell right from left. It hasn't been a serious problem. Except that night on a freeway heading into San Francisco when, befuddled by an "Exit Left" sign, I hit the brakes and got totaled by a really fast sports car. Or the day I directed a footsore family of tourists 180 degrees away from...

Older Woman, Younger Man: It's a Match Made in Cyberspace
Lundi 21 Juillet 2008 - 21:00 - 5 mois, 2 semaines depuis - Presse généraliste - The Washington Post (health)
What do older women want? Younger men. Online dating services say women of a certain age want the white-haired gent, as long as he's not too old. Women age 50 and older almost always tell eHarmony.com that they want a younger man -- 10, 15 years younger, sometimes more. And on Match.com, a...

Privacy Isn't the Only Benefit That a Personal Trainer Can Deliver
Lundi 21 Juillet 2008 - 21:00 - 5 mois, 2 semaines depuis - Presse généraliste - The Washington Post (health)
Q I have a friend who is overweight and seriously lacking in dedication and confidence. I know I can't force him to work out, but I thought if I made him a gift of a session or two with a trainer, that might be good for him. I know you get this question for women a lot, but are there any gyms or ...

Happy Fish Go Hungry? [News]
Lundi 21 Juillet 2008 - 13:00 - 5 mois, 2 semaines depuis - Presse spécialisée - Scientific American
What begins in the bathroom often ends in the water supply. No, not that, the drugs in your medicine chest--and that, a new study suggests, could have a significant impact on aquatic life. [More]

Antibiotic Resistance: Blame It on Lifesaving Malaria Drug? [News]
Lundi 21 Juillet 2008 - 12:00 - 5 mois, 2 semaines depuis - Presse spécialisée - Scientific American
A new study shows that overuse of a drug used to prevent and treat malaria may be contributing to growing antibiotic resistance. Researchers report in the journal PLoS ONE that Escherichia coli bacteria resistant to the antibiotic ciprofloxacin were detected in the digestive tracts of villagers from remote rainforest communities in Guyana who had been given the drug chloroquine to prevent and treat malaria, a potentially fatal disease spread by mosquitoes. This is the first study to show that resistance can emerge in individuals never exposed to the antibiotic, which is used throughout the world to treat bacterial infections, including pneumonia, urinary tract infections and sexually transmitted diseases."Ten to 15 years ago, resistance to ciprofloxacin was rare. [Now], outside of remote populations, cipro resistance in hospitals and the community at large is becoming a problem," says Andrew Simor, a senior scientist at the Sunnybrook Health Sciences Center at the University of Toronto, who was not involved in the study. "E. coli is one of the most common causes of infections in humans. A decade ago it was nearly universally susceptible to ciprofloxacin." Today, he says, as many as 30 percent of hospital patients tested have E. coli that failed to respond to ciprofloxacin, which is the drug of choice for treating these bacteria. [More]

Why Migraines Strike [Scientific American Magazine]
Lundi 21 Juillet 2008 - 11:35 - 5 mois, 2 semaines depuis - Presse spécialisée - Scientific American
For the more than 300 million people who suffer migraines, the excruciating, pulsating pain that characterizes these debilitating headaches needs no description. For those who do not, the closest analogous experience might be severe altitude sickness: nausea, acute sensitivity to light, and searing, bed-confining headache. “That no one dies of migraine seems, to someone deep into an attack, an ambiguous blessing,” wrote Joan Didion in the 1979 essay “In Bed” from her collection The White Album.Historical records suggest the condition has been with us for at least 7,000 years, yet it continues to be one of the most misunderstood, poorly recognized and inadequately treated medical disorders. Indeed, many people seek no medical care for their agonies, most likely believing that doctors can do little to help or will be downright skeptical and hostile toward them. Didion wrote “In Bed” almost three decades ago, but some physicians remain as dismissive today as they were then: “For I had no brain tumor, no eyestrain, no high blood pressure, nothing wrong with me at all: I simply had migraine headaches, and migraine headaches were, as everyone who did not have them knew, imaginary.” [More]

Hutterites Are Model Gene Community [60-Second Science]
Lundi 21 Juillet 2008 - 04:05 - 5 mois, 2 semaines depuis - Presse spécialisée - Scientific American
[The following is an exact transcript of this podcast.]You may have heard of genetic research being done in Iceland. It’s a rich venue, because Icelanders have a limited gene pool and highly detailed genealogical records. Well, it looks like we have our own version of Icelanders here in the U.S. They’re called the Hutterites, and they live in rural South Dakota. Researchers from the University of Chicago and Northwestern have been studying the Hutterites for decades. Almost 1,300 members of the community emigrated from Germany to South Dakota in 1874. Today they number in the tens of thousands. They live similar communal farming lifestyles, so they experience common environmental influences. [More]
