...workers--the so-called barefoot doctors--a few decades ago, but today's workers have even better health-care tools. The mother of all community health efforts is India's National Rural Health Mission. Initiated by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and spearheaded by the young, dynamic Minister of Health, Dr. Anbumani Ramadoss, the program has, in just over three years, mobilized more than half a million new community health workers, each known as an ASHA--short for "accredited social health activist," and the Hindi word for hope...
Cadbury Schweppes' two-pronged portfolio of candy and soft drinks wasn't too far off strategically from the soft-drink and snack-food approach that has served PepsiCo so well. The difference is that Pepsi has Pepsi, not Dr Pepper, as a top brand and an organization that can execute to the last bottle cap. For Cadbury, growing two separate businesses proved an insurmountable task, undone by bad execution, bad luck and the weird actors who dominate candyland--the secretive, privately held Mars Inc. and the stumbling, publicly held Hershey Co., which is controlled, ineptly, by the Hershey Trust...
...after all that time, and I think my colleagues really found some very decisive results. I sent the blood samples from the survivors to my colleagues, Chris Basler at Mount Sinai, who's a professor of microbiology, and James Crowe at Vanderbilt, who's in pediatrics, microbiology and immunology. Dr Crowe and his colleagues at Vanderbilt isolated five different antibodies to the 1918 flu. Then Dr. Basler and colleagues looked at how those antibodies bind to the virus. It was quite strong and specific. We tried to compare it to other viruses, studying, for example, whether the antibody would bind...
...study's authors, led by Dr. Lisa L. Strate, a gastroenterologist at the University of Washington, note that despite a lack of firm evidence, the conventional dietetic wisdom has prevailed among many physicians. In a recent survey as many of 47% of colorectal surgeons agreed that their patients should avoid nuts and popcorn. But Strate says the notion that these "abrasive foods" exacerbate diverticulosis is simply "an evolved theory" founded on a belief that nuts and seeds can lodge in the diverticula, the pouches or bulges that form in weak parts of the colon wall, and give the disease...
...will it? At the moment, the only proof that IOC and FIG officials can rely on will be registration documents from previous competitions, or birth records of the girls' that would show different birth dates. Biologically, says Dr. David Sinclair, a pathologist at Harvard Medical School who studies the aging process in animal models and people, "There are many possible methods to determine age, but they are not very accurate. The error is about two years." Most of these are also based on forensic approaches and have not used to screen for age in living people. In some cases, current...
