Black patients with diabetes do worse than white patients - even when they're getting treatment from the same doctor. That's the message of a new study published this week in the journal Archives of Internal Medicine. It's not the first paper to document health disparities between black and white diabetics, but it breaks new ground: By looking at the outcome discrepancy among a group of patients with access to the same health facilities - 90 Massachusetts physicians working in 14 health centers - the new study rules out the explanation that black patients, by virtue of being poorer, are excluded...

The memo bears the name of the 56th Infantry Battalion's chief intelligence officer, but is not signed. Bacarro will not confirm the document's authenticity.

Walk into any exam room in the medical center's 140-acre (57 hectare) campus east of downtown Cleveland, and you'll find a computer terminal on a small rolling cart that physicians and nurses use to document every step of patient care in an electronic chart. Instead of scribbling notes by hand on a metal-clad clipboard, doctors and nurses use the fill-in forms on the monitor to type in each patient's symptoms and vital signs, progress and prognosis, and medications prescribed and taken...
...School Professor Alan M. Dershowitz of plagiarism, had been invited to speak at Harvard Book Store but was abruptly disinvited without explanation. While Finkelstein cannot prove that Dershowitz was responsible for the disinvitation, the Dershowitz modus operandi is evident in the hundreds of pages of threatening legal correspondence which document Dershowitz’s campaign to stop publication of Finkelstein’s book at University of California Press (UCP) and had evidently succeeded at doing so at the New Press. Dershowitz even wrote—using Harvard Law School letterhead—to ask Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to stop...
