...diseases - both in developed and developing nations. That will be a tall order, particularly since no specific funding has been allocated for the GACD and because chronic diseases work slowly and frequently fall to the bottom of global health priorities. It's important to remember also that the rising rate of chronic diseases in developing nations does nothing to relieve the co-existing burden of infectious diseases like tuberculosis - many such countries now face a "double burden" that can worsen the impact of each...
...biological level, Walker explains, the "emotional rind" translates to sympathetic nervous-system activity during sleep: faster heart rate and the release of stress chemicals. Understanding why nightmares recur and how REM sleep facilitates emotional processing - or hinders it, when nightmares take place and perpetuate the physical stress symptoms - may eventually provide clues to effective treatments of painful mental disorders. Perhaps, even, by simply addressing sleeping habits, doctors could potentially interrupt the emotional cycle that can lead to suicide. "There is an opportunity for prevention," Bernert says...

So much building has happened since the mid-1990s that the West Bank resembles a Jackson Pollock drip painting of Jewish and Arab lands, connected and disconnected by bypass roads and cement blocks. The old Green Line border, now morphing into a wall, has literally doubled in size...
