  • Yet another new look …

    Trying another new wordpress theme.  I think I like it.  I still wish it either was a little narrower or had unfixed column widths (I know that makes no sense – I’ll explain it to you one day …), but I think it’s still nice.  It’s open and easy to read, and I think that…

  • Gorgeous!

    Take a look at this picture: Pretty cool, eh? I’ll let you in on a secret:

  • CDC Changes HIV Screening Recommendations

    This is interesting. The CDC seems to be suggesting pretty drastic changes in HIV screening procedures: For patients in all health-care settings HIV screening is recommended for patients in all health-care settings after the patient is notified that testing will be performed unless the patient declines (opt-out screening). Persons at high risk for HIV infection…

  • These are fantastic!

    First, from the O’Reilly Network (no relation to Fox News) via Neatorama: Proof that programmers have a sense of humor.

  • Follow-up to A&R Letter

    This is a quick follow-up to this post from a couple of days ago. I’ve now read the two articles referred to, and agree that there’s some funny stuff going on here. I don’t really doubt the conclusions, but I think the authors really do have to explain some things.

  • Cool image

    I just thought this was cool. It’s from this week’s NEJM and it shows lanthanum in the colon. Lanthanum is a metal and apparently is being used as a phosphate binder in some dialysis patients.

  • Sept A&R is Out – Check Out This Letter!

    This month’s Arthritis and Rheumatism is now available, on line at least. I’m not sure why I didn’t get the TOC email, but I found out through the grape vine and have taken a preliminary look through it. Sorry, you can only read it if you have a prescription. Jumping Jehosephat! It’s packed with good…

  • Another Change in Look

    Yes, my second in two days!  I really just couldn’t get past the fixed page width of the other theme!  It looked so cramped!  And the font was a little big.  It just wasn’t right.  But I liked the header, so I brought it here.  Not quite as impressive, but not so bad either.  Anyway,…

  • On HIV Denial

    I did something very interesting yesterday. I posted a comment on Tara Smith’s Aetiology in response to an HIV denier. He was making some comments that just didn’t track with everything I’ve learned about HIV, so I thought I’d try to address some of his misconceptions. Big mistake. Boy did I get flamed. I don’t…
