St. Mary's County was once a place where no doctor wanted to settle. In the 1970s, the county hospital used decades-old equipment, struggled to make payroll and had no full-time specialists -- not even an obstetrician, although more than 600 babies were born there each year.

Blogging--It's Good for You [Scientific American Magazine]
Jeudi 22 Mai 2008 - 06:25 - 7 mois, 2 semaines depuis - 21 lectures - Presse spécialisée - Scientific American
Self-medication may be the reason the blogosphere has taken off. Scientists (and writers) have long known about the therapeutic benefits of writing about personal experiences, thoughts and feelings. But besides serving as a stress-coping mechanism, expressive writing produces many physiological benefits. Research shows that it improves memory and sleep, boosts immune cell activity and reduces viral load in AIDS patients, and even speeds healing after surgery. A study in the February issue of the Oncologist reports that cancer patients who engaged in expressive writing just before treatment felt markedly better, mentally and physically, as compared with patients who did not.Scientists now hope to explore the neurological underpinnings at play, especially considering the explosion of blogs. According to Alice Flaherty, a neuroscientist at Harvard University and Massachusetts General Hospital, the placebo theory of suffering is one window through which to view blogging. As social creatures, humans have a range of pain-related behaviors, such as complaining, which acts as a “placebo for getting satisfied,” Flaherty says. Blogging about stressful experiences might work similarly. [More]

Scientific American Magazine: Spice Healer
Samedi 13 Janvier 2007 - 22:00 - 1 année, 11 mois depuis - 21 lectures - Cancer - Scientific American
Searching for new drugs by milling through ancient folk pharmacopoeia or by just picking a plant while walking in the woods has a decidedly checkered history. Many well-established therapeutic compounds originated in trees, shrubs, mollusks, even dirt. Aspirin came from willow bark, cholesterol-lowering statins from a mold, and the antimalarial artemisinin from a shrub used in traditional Chinese medicine. Yet after raising $90 million during the 1990s in a much publicized bid to tap indigenous knowledge for new drug leads, Shaman Pharmaceuticals had to lower its sights until it was doing nothing more than selling its products as nutritional supplements before finally shutting its doors for good a few years ago.
