Stephanie Stricklen: September 2007 ArchivesHey there! I'm officially on VACATION so watch this be the second shortest blog ever. http://www.ohsu.edu/ohsuedu/newspub/releases/092707prostate.cfm Do note the last few paragraphs about the potential conflict of interest that has been identified and addressed. This research is facinating!! And do you have notes taped to your fridge at wo... The Nike Native American shoe is pretty cool. I like the aesthetics.. the subtle design cues that Nike includes in a lot of its shoes that make them unique and worth taking a second look at. Here's a link that will give you more detail on how the program works, and more on the shoe: http://www.nike.com/nikebiz/news/pressrelease.jhtml?year=2007&mo... Well, it's Monday. Moving on.. here is that yoga primer I mentioned in my health wrap. The Mayo clinic has a web page for just about everything health related.. it's really quite amazing. And Google loads 'em right up at the top when you query something so more often than not I'm peeking at a Mayo Clinic page while I... On our feeds when a story comes down we have a name for them-- called a slug. The slug of the eHuman story was "CADAVER MAPPER", which is entirely to the point, but still made me raise an eyebrow. Here's the link to the eHuman project I promised: And in case you wanted a little more sciency stuff on the restricted calories story-- check here: >> Continue reading: Want to learn more about that emergency registry here in Portland and Multnomah county?

Here is the full press release (in .pdf format) for you to check out: Hey ladies and gents.. Here is that full press release on the OHSU CPR study that involves testing people who collapse from cardiac arrest without their consent. http://www.ohsu.edu/ohsuedu/newspub/releases/091709roc.cfm And on a lighter note.. here's more on the handwashing story. If you're a gal who went to either the Beavers or Ducks game this ... So the Locks of Love story was pretty interesting, eh? Here is a list of the guidelines so your thoughtful donation doesn't go straight into the circular file. http://www.locksoflove.org/donate.html And the main page: And-- more on that Chronic Fatigue Syndrome stuff!! I hopped online and dug through a bunch of resources on this type of surgery-- facinating how they use a device like a little icepick. Also interesting that this used to be 'controversial', according to one source I checked on wikipedia. I also just got off the phone with an amazing doctor-- Dave Northfield is interviewing her for tonite's 5pm news (as I will be home). It's been a long time since I've heard a doctor give such a great... Yup. It's kind of just like that. Well, it's for your prostate, specifically. I have a blog already written, but we lost our external internet connectivity at work-- and apparently since I can't log into my work account.. we're still not 'back up'. So, you get the cliff notes because I'm at home now and don't feel like rewriting. :-) Here goes.. For more: I have no idea why I capitalized MORE, except that I haven't used my CAPS lock in a while and I was MISSING it. REALLY. Okay, first let me give you the cell phone diet story you saw Friday at 5pm... about that study that also used a computer program and helped that gal lose like 30 pounds: http://www.paceproject.org/Home.html Feel free to poke around on that one... We talked about this in the morning show. I saw stuff beginning to move on our wires yesterday, but when I saw the Today Show landed the interview with the man who got this "popcorn lung".. it made perfect sense to do more with the story. I mean, pretty much everyone eats microwave popcorn, right?? So-- here is the skinny on the story. First, for those of us who don't have a medical degree. This is a great Associated ... Here's a little bit more from my Wednesday health wrap.. man oh man: 1 in 4 didn't know this!?! Here are some additional resources if you like. I use Medline stuff a lot because it kind of sh... It's days like this that I LOVE having this blog because I would never ever get the time to go through all of the skinny fly, skinny model story. It's "moving on the wires" as we say, but I really like how this MSNBC contributor wrote it up: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20535978/ As I like to tell my skinny friends... any day now when we get that unexpected ice age...
