Follow up to ‘Chronic Diseases’
Tara Smith took note of this New York Times article too, but she’s a much better writer than I am. You should check out her post. She also links to another nice analysis by Future Pundit. By the way, she’s an epidemiologist and lives in Iowa. That’s at least 2 points in her favor right…

August A&R Roundup
This is my personal, highly selective take on articles in the August Arthritis & Rheumatism. Login is required if you want to read the actual articles – I frequently have trouble loggin on to their site anyway. There is an article about TNF antagonists in pregnancy with an accompanying editorial by Jane Salmon & Deborah…

Signing Statements – Constitutional?
Another interesting op-ed piece in the NY Times. In this one Walter Dellinger, a law professor, argues that under some circumstances the president should have the option of ignoring part of a law that he/she feels is unconstitutional. Much to my surprise, I think he actually makes some good points, like these: What if Congress…

Mel Gibson, the New York Times, and the missing point
I just had to point out the major missed point in this NY Times article about Mel Gibson’s arrest the other night: Is he an anti-Semite? I don’t know. Did he utter anti-Semitic comments? It wouldn’t surprise me. I won’t say I don’t care, because if he did, it makes me think the worse of…

Chronic diseases: 1850 & now
Interesting article in today’s New York Times on the incidence of chronic diseases in the 1850s compared to today and the effects of nutrition while in utero on later health. Take a look, it’s a good read.

Success?
It’s been a good week (last week of July) for me at the Urban University Medical Center, though very busy. The best news is that I finally submitted the paper I’ve been working on for the last 18 months or so. It’s been a very long slog. I will not go into details here since…

What’s up the New York Time’s Ass?
In going through the NY Times this evening (July 23, 2006) I ran across the following editorial: ‘Our Conflicted Medical Journals‘. Now, I completely agree that conflicts of interest between article authors and drug/device manufacturers may be a big problem. I certainly agree that the example they cite of a journal editor publishing one of…

Three articles in Annals
I’ve only been at this a few days, and already a repost! Here’re some comments on some articles in the Annals of Internal Medicine from earlier in the month. I think these are (or should be) of interest to the rheumatologist. (Login may be required to read these.)

Welcome!
Welcome! This is the third blog I’ve started in about a week, but why not? It’s free! I’m going to post a few things that I published at the old site, and then I’m off and running on WordPress! Ciao.
