...team including researchers from Harvard Medical School have discovered a genetic marker for schizophrenia, according to a paper published Tuesday in the journal Molecular Psychology. The data was collected using Whole Genome Association (WGA)—a new technology that allowed the scientists to study all the possible variations of each gene, rather than just one or two at a time. “WGA permits us to examine 500,000 SNPs [genetic variations] across the entire genome in a single test,” said Todd Lencz, the first author of the study. The discovery was a joint...
...this 10th century-style pillow book about her 21st century Californian life four years ago, creating a diary of the seasons divided into the 72 five-day segments of an ancient Chinese almanac. She even wrote parts of the book first in Japanese. On its surface, her gardener's journal is a casual, wandering set of two- or three-page mini-essays on mushrooms, ruby-throated hummingbirds and incense-sniffing ceremonies in Berkeley. Deep down, it is proof that attention and precision-savoring the small print of each moment-are no more peculiar to East than to West...
Firefighters may have their own medical emergencies to worry about when the alarm sounds, according to a Harvard study published today in the New England Journal of Medicine. The study showed an up to 100-fold increase in the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) events—such as heart attacks—for firefighters while engaged in emergency activities, a finding that focuses attention on the prevalence and efficacy of preventative health measures for emergency responders. According to data collected in the study, CHD events are the leading cause of death of firefighters on the job, accounting...
According to a 2003 article in The Journal of Blacks in Higher Education, residential self-segregation on campus is “far less common than people believe.” At Harvard, many minority students say that their time is not spent, as some claim, primarily with other minorities. “As involved as I am with the Black community, most of my time at Harvard [I am] in the minority, dealing with non-black students, with all my academic settings and all my housing,” says Lee. “I think the nature...
Instead of competing over the cost of care, health care providers should compete over the quality of care, Porter and Teisberg argue in their paper, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association last week...
