Just to show that this is a complex field, Mondraty's coauthor sees things slightly differently. "I think what we've observed," says Sachdev, "is a functional abnormality that probably follows, rather than precedes, the development of anorexia." The pair plan to conduct a follow-up study on the 10 anorexic patients in about two years to see whether brain activity has normalized in those who've recovered. If it has, that would suggest that what they've observed is a product of the disease - triggered, perhaps, by malnutrition - rather than a hardwired abnormality. Brain-imaging skeptics would argue that...
...premature death, asks who stands to gain from the fanning of obesity fears, and questions the value of hounding populations to lose weight. "In general, we just don't know what the long-term consequences of rising obesity are going to be," says N.S.W. academic Michael Gard, coauthor with Jan Wright of The Obesity Epidemic: Science Morality and Ideology (2005). "But is it the looming, drop-everything health catastrophe that we're told it is? We say no." One thing highlighted by the obesity issue is how far apart the pronouncements of parts of the scientific community...
...year (about one-twelfth the figure that many obesity experts had been fond of quoting). But this was more than canceled out by the 34,000 deaths that researchers linked to being underweight-having a BMI lower than 18.5. What to make of pudginess appearing to prolong lives? Study coauthor David Williamson speculated that since most people are over 70 when they die, some extra fat might have a protective effect...
...sorry for the hurt that my use of racially offensive language in my 1L outlines has caused and continues to cause.” Camara continued that he hopes his critics, “will continue to direct their anger at me and not at my coauthor or the Journal’s staff, which has dealt with a difficult situation admirably.” When interviewed by The Record, the HLS weekly newspaper, in March 2002, Camara said that he “avoids [racially insensitive language] strenuously in public conversation,” and that the word...
...drugs are scarcely more effective than a placebo in alleviating depression. "I think they are more or less completely useless," says Dr. Joanna Moncrieff, senior lecturer in social and community psychiatry at University College London. In an article published earlier this year in the British Medical Journal, Moncrieff and coauthor Irving Kirsch, professor of psychology at the University of Plymouth, argued that it was time for "a thorough reevaluation of current approaches to depression and further development of alternatives to drug treatment." Seldom had a piece about antidepressants so explicitly challenged the reigning orthodoxy in the mainstream medical press...
