1. List of voters for elections Medical
We read above that the royal decree setting the date on which the list of electors for medical elections in 2006 is established by the National Health Insurance Disability recently published yesterday in the Belgian. This date was set for Friday, May 26, 2006. Add that in terms of eligible candidates, the blur still exists always the Flemish side.
2. The WMA refines his views on the problem of doctors face torture
The World Medical Association has clarified his views on torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment of detainees and prisoners. In conducting its Board in Divonne-les-Bains (France) AMM has accepted the revision of the Tokyo Declaration to remind physicians to be particularly careful to ensure the confidentiality of all personal medical information when they provide assistance to prisoners and detainees to face interrogation. Dr. Yoram Blachar, chairman of the WMA, said that the doctors can not approve, facilitate or participate in any form of torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment and they can not use their medical knowledge to violate human rights and civil liberties.
The WMA has also formally requested, at the same meeting, China to stop using prisoners for organ donation.
3. Surgery for GERD and obesity: safe and effective
frequently performed surgical procedures at the upper digestive tract to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease or as a means to combat obesity has long been discussed in terms of safety and efficiency, are both safe and effective, according to data presented this weekend at the Digestive Disease Week, Los Angeles. These interrventions allow quality control of these problems and their symptoms.
4. Report complacency NHS
According to NHS Confederation, which comprises the managers of the national system of British health care, in the latter have improved significantly in recent years, despite a decrease in net enough beds available. Between 1984 and 2004, the number of beds is in fact fallen from 211 617-145 218 (-31%). For the NHS Confederation, better care outside hospitals and technical advances, including reducing the length of hospitalization, helped to reduce the number of beds without compromising quality care. Physicians, themselves, insist that the removal of an excessive number of beds has actually compromised the quality.
5. Bone density and breast
The common link with estrogen suggests that there may be a relationship between bone mineral density and mammographic density. But if a study provides a little support to this hypothesis, another found no such a link. Therefore, if a relationship exists between the two densities in question must be very low, says J. Cuzick, author of a study published in Breast Cancer Research (2006, 8:104).
6. Stem cells to treat urinary incontinence
Women suffering from urinary stress incontinence were treated as part of a clinical study conducted by researchers at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre in Toronto, for stem cells derived from their own muscles and to strengthen their sphincter muscle. This world first positive results, as communicated to the authors at the annual meeting of the American Urological Association (AUA) in Atlanta, who stressed the value of their approach, since 13 million people, mostly girls, suffer from this problem the United States alone.
7. Berezina coverage in health insurance in the U.S.
As part of a call for papers (call for articles) (JAMA 2006; 295:2182) ( http://jama.ama -assn.org/cgi/content/full/295/18/2182 ) for a special issue on access to health care in the United States and intended to be published in March 2007 that Rennie and Fontanarosa return in a recent issue of JAMA programmed into the collapse of the healthcare system in this country. Apart from the traditional problems of the unemployed and marginalized, the base system itself seems to collapsing, say the authors of the text. The system is indeed based on health insurance once offered by all employers to their employees. However, they add, an increasing number of employers no longer offer this benefit. A study based on data from 2001 shows that 22 million of 112.8 million American workers have received no such assurance. Only 56% of employees in companies employing fewer than 25 employees receive such coverage. Not surprisingly, the number of Americans without insurance has Sane care, despite some efforts, increased by 6 million between 2000 and 2004. One report suggests that this situation will only worsen. We consacreins documentation to this important issue in a future edition of Medi-Sphere.
8. Hello, my name is Mona Lisa ...
Leonardo da Vinci he never imagined that his enthusiasm would generate Mona Lisa when he painted this portrait?
A scientist has in any case decided to resort to the table, literally. We read in La Repubblica that Matsumi Suzuki, an expert in acoustics and "voiceprintingtechnology" decided to decode an unexplored mystery of Mona Lisa in restoring the voice of one that inspired Leonard and many others after him, after complex calculations that take into consideration the aspect of the subject. Dr. Matsumi Suzuki is not a doctor Nutty but an expert who has developed a technology already used by police to solve homicides.
course, if we can reconstruct the voice of Mona Lisa, no technique can now read his thoughts so she can say what you want her to say ...

9. Violence between small (s) friend (s)
about 9% of U.S. high school students report having been hit (s), slapped (s) or assault (s) physically (on) small (e) friend (s). And the answers are surprisingly very similar for boys (8.9%) and girls (8.8%), according to a survey published in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR), CDC journal.
10. Concerns about the Big Mac super
There was a time when producers junk food put water in their wine and tried to mitigate the disaster diet favored by their products, but on the side of McDonald's it seems to have returned to traditional values. Thus the new superburger, which contains 36% more calories than a Big Mac classic and should be launched at the World Cup football. English indignant MPs and will ask to ban this awesome Big Mac that should be sold for six weeks
