Doctors' neckties harbour disease







Doctors' neckties harbour disease

Doctors' neckties harbour disease 05/25/2004 03:43 AM

Doctors who wear neckties may look more competent and reassuring, but their cravattes are actually disease-harbouring pest-farms of neck-grease, sweat, and plague germs.

Researchers found that nearly half of the ties worn by medical workers harboured bacteria which could cause disease.

Clinicians were eight times more likely to wear a tie carrying bacteria than by hospital security staff.

Your Disease Risk
http://www.yourdiseaser isk.harvard.edu/

Welcome to Your Disease Risk, the source on prevention. If you were looking for Your Cancer Risk, don’t worry. You’re in the right place. We’ve simply expanded. Now, in addition to cancer, you can find out your risk of four other important diseases and, as always, get personalized tips for preventing them. Your Disease Risk is an educational website developed by the Harvard Center for Cancer Prevention. Based at the Harvard School of Public Health, the Center promotes prevention as the primary approach to controlling cancer and other chronic diseases.

The Your Disease Risk site began as the Harvard Cancer Risk Index, a pen and paper cancer risk assessment tool first put together in the mid 1990’s by the Risk Index Working Group at Harvard University. In 1999, the Risk Index was adapted to the Web as Your Cancer Risk. Then, to give even greater emphasis to the importance of healthy behaviors, Your Cancer Risk was expanded to include assessments for heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and osteoporosis. The expanded site was renamed Your Disease Risk and offers the follows risks assessments online:

What's Your Cancer Risk?
What's Your Diabetes Risk?
What's Your Heart Disease Risk?
What's Your Osteoporosis Risk?
What's Your Stroke Risk?

This will be added to Healthcare Resources 2004-05 Internet MiniGuide.

A disease in the Breedster ecosystem...


A disease in the Breedster ecosystem... 04/25/2004 07:14 AM

There's so much I could write about Breedster if I had the time. I could write about the interesting way it handles new members (you have to put work in to getting food and finding a partner before you can create a new user account and plug someone into it). I could talk about the possibilities of gaming / message-board overlaps and some of the slightly-abortive work that Cal and I did on the not-open-for-business The Mafia Game site. I could talk about the gaming aspects of maintaining a community and the congruence between gaming rule-sets and political rule-sets. I could write about lots of things. There's loads of stuff I could talk about that's interesting (to me) here. Instead I'm just going to report that a friend of mine has just contracted a disease in the game - they've released an infestation that can affect your bug's digestive tract and make it harder for you to build up enough strength to fornicate. Watch out everyone, there's infected poop about. This is a disease of the colon that could (and please forgive me for this) run and run!

Test for Alzheimer's Disease gets closer


Test for Alzheimer's Disease gets closer 03/14/2005 04:52 PM

Alzheimer’s Disease. The name strikes fear into those who hear it, as anyone who has watched a loved one suffer the ravages of this disease can attest. A neurodegenerative disease that destroys memory and cognitive function, it destroys an individual’s mind and personality through the build up of protein plaques in the brain. Currently, the only way to definitively diagnose it is through a post-mortem. This edition of Science.Ars has news on what could become a reliable test for the disease.

In addition, there's news of monkeys working their mind control over robotic limbs, more on the coxib controversy, and other nuggets of science news. Dig in!
