A Patient's-Eye-View of Nurses [Newspaper Article]

Altman, Lawrence K
How is it that a leading medical professor like Dr. Relman -- who has taught hundreds of young doctors at Boston University, the University of Pennsylvania (where he was chairman of the department of medicine) and Harvard -- might not have known about the value of modern-day Florence Nightingales? A number of doctors who have talked to me about Dr. Relman's article suggest that the culture of medical education may be largely to blame

3 scientists receive Nobel for cell-delivery discovery [Newspaper Article]

Altman, Lawrence K
Their research solved the mystery of how cells organize their transport system, the Karolinska committee said. Dr. [Randy W. Schekman] discovered a set of genes that were required for vesicle traffic. Dr. [James E. Rothman] unraveled protein machinery that allows vesicles to fuse with their targets to permit transfer of cargo. Dr. Sudhof revealed how signals instruct vesicles to release their cargo with precision. Dr. Rothman, 63, who was born in Haverhill, Mass., studied vesicle transport in mammalian cells in the 1980s and 1990s. He discovered that a protein complex allows vesicles to dock and fuse with their target membranes. In the fusion process, proteins on the vesicles and target membranes bind to each other like the two sides of a zipper. The fact that there are many such proteins and that they bind only in specific combinations ensures that cargo is delivered to a precise location. The same principle operates inside the cell and when a vesicle binds to the cell's outer membrane to release its contents. Dr. Rothman received a Ph.D. from Harvard Medical School in 1976, was a postdoctoral fellow at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and moved in 1978 to Stanford, where he started his research on the vesicles of the cell. Dr. Rothman has also worked at Princeton University, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Institute and Columbia University

Lasker Awards for Medical Advances [Newspaper Article]

Altman, Lawrence K
The prizes -- $250,000 in each category -- were announced Monday; the winners will be honored at a luncheon in Manhattan on Sept. 20. Since the foundation began making the awards, in 1942, 83 laureates have also won Nobel Prizes

A Kennedy Baby's Life and Death [Newspaper Article]

Altman, Lawrence K
In those days there were no neonatal I.C.U.'s, and ventilators, a standard therapy today, had yet to be used for premature babies. [...]it was August, and most of the senior physicians were on vacation, recalled a third doctor, Welton M. Gersony, then training in pediatric cardiology

Making the Right Call, Even in Death [Newspaper Article]

Altman, Lawrence K
Some doctors said they had never learned the proper procedures, or were too busy to fill out the documents correctly. Because of restrictions in duty hours, many resident doctors had to enter a cause even though they did not know the patients -- they just assumed care through transfers at the end of work shifts. Particularly disturbing is that most doctors said they had no formal training in filling out death certificates, either in medical school or in their residency programs. Since the study was conducted -- in spring 2010, based on respondents' experience in the preceding three years -- the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene says it has been a national leader in improving the quality of death certificate information

Of Medical Giants, Accolades and Feet of Clay [Newspaper Article]

Altman, Lawrence K
The study began in 1932, and it was not halted by the United States Public Health Service until 1972, after a whistle-blower complained that infected patients in the study were not given penicillin, the standard therapy after World War II. Paul A. Lombardo of the Georgia State University College of Law, who advised the presidential commission that studied the Guatemala affair, offers a less drastic measure: rewriting the citation to include "an account of Dr. Parran's involvement in two of the most disgraceful episodes in the annals of research ethics."

Journal Offers Dose Of Fun For Holiday [Newspaper Article]

Altman, Lawrence K
By traveling to the Arctic and using video-microscope and thermal imaging technology, the scientists showed that the glow is from tiny blood vessels that are more abundant in the noses of reindeer than in humans'. Alongside Rudolph on the cover of this year's holiday issue is Cliff, a 2-year-old beagle who was trained by another Dutch team to accurately sniff out the sometimes fatal bacterial bowel infection Clostridium difficile and make the diagnosis in minutes -- days faster than standard laboratory tests
