My Interview With President bama
CBS News
LaPook: I think that because they believe — there’s this thing about — if an artery’s closed. It’s got to be better if it’s open and it turns out that’s not true. So they have on the one side their intuition as a physician in their bellies and then there’s the evidence-based medicine that we talk about and they clash a lot at times so how do you make that doctor do the right thing or give him the right incentives? President bama: I have enormous faith in doctors. I think they always want to do the right thing for patients. But I also think if we’re honest doctors right now have disincentives to making the better choices in the situations you talked about. If you are getting paid more for the angioplasty then that subconsciously even might make you think the angioplasty is the better route to take. And so if we’re reimbursing the physician not on the basis of how many procedures you’re performing but rather how are you caring for the patient overall – what are the outcomes – then I think you start seeing some different choices.

Why HIV Progresses Faster In Women Than In Men With Same Viral Load

"This study may help to account for reported gender differences in HIV-1 disease progression by demonstrating that women and men differ in the way their immune systems respond to the virus" says Marcus Altfeld MD PhD of the Ragon Institute and the MGH Division of Infectious Disease the study’s senior author. "Focusing on immune activation separately from viral replication might give us new therapeutic approaches to limiting HIV-1-induced pathology. "It has become apparent in recent years that HIV-1-infected patients with a high level of immune activation progress to AIDS more rapidly. Why this happens is an area of intense investigation.

Are preventive Natural Medicine are now illegal?
Daily Kos
When I realized that pandemic is part of Nature and occurs about 3 times per Century and back in 2003 it has been 35 years since the last pandemic occurred but mostly a new bug fiercely lethal named H5N1 outbreak in Avians in so many countries infectinged people and killing more than 65% of those who caught it I have decided to get into that field and do whatever I could in promoting preparedness reducing morbidity and mortality avoiding social disruption and social dislocation. I did my best to cover pro-actively almost lobbying to push the Issue to people reporters institutions and some government agencies deciders as influencers alike. Needless to say that I was surprised of the magistral difference and success people can have when they are determined to reduce morbidity and mortality. iT can be so efficient and indeed saves lives and beleie me in some overcrowded countries that means many many lives easing pain in family and in few cases avoid cities of freezing their economical activity in reducing absenteeism. Many people shared their interests on preparedness and reducing morbidity and mortality.
