What defines art? Is it the medium? No, because art can be made with anything and the only thing that hinders the artistic from doing so is the limitation of technology. An artist would shape and mould air if he could, or twist plasma into magnificent forms if it was possible. Art is not material dependent, though material does play a major role.

The human papilloma virus (HPV) is the cause of both genital and non-genital warts. This is a very common family of viruses. There are actually more than 100 different strains of HPV. Of these, approximately 30 exist in the genital area and can cause genital warts (condyloma acuminata). These 30 strains can be further broken down to “high” and “low” risk strains.
High risk strains may cause changes in a Pap smear which may rarely progress to cancer. There are approximately 13 high-risk strains of HPV, of which two (16 & 18) are believed to cause about 70% of all cervical cancer. Low risk strains sometimes cause changes in a Pap smear, but do not progress to cancer. Of the low-risk strains, two (6 &11) are most likely to cause genital warts.

Stretch marks are unsightly skin scars that occur when there are significant changes in the body, like getting pregnant. It can also be due to having a swingy weight.
In order to better understand stretch marks, you need to initially know what the human skin is made of. A normal skin of a human being is made up of 4 percent elastin fiber mesh and 80 percent collagen network. The elastin is a protein that allows the skin to stretch. It also provides flexibility.

Happened to catch the very last few minutes of a Discovery Health program this morning about monitoring anticoagulation. It is part of a CME series for physicians and other health-care providers. They can register, watch the clips, then take an online test and get credit.
Could not access the site at home because we have dial-up. Kept getting booted off. We are in Dallas today visiting my parents who have DSL, so I brought my laptop.
The program is wonderful! I highly recommend that each person here who is on warfarin watch it. The program is extremely supportive of home testing (FYI: Roche, which makes CoaguChek, is involved in this program, if my memory serves me right.). In fact, there are 2 home-testers interviewed for the program. Continue reading ‘Health Anticoagulation Program’ »
Does eating a high-fat diet, or a high saturated-fat diet, cause heart disease? I shall start by presenting all of the evidence in support of the dietheart hypothesis. This time I am actually not joking. Aside from Ancel Keys’s study – a study subject to accusations of selection bias – there is no evidence in support of the diet-heart hypothesis. I believe that the strongest backing for this somewhat bold statement comes from two different sources.
Firstly, the Surgeon General’s office in the USA. Secondly, from Professors Law and Wald, the high priests of heart-disease orthodoxy. Both of these sources were, and remain, utterly convinced of the diet-heart hypothesis. In 1988, the Surgeon General’s office decided to gather together all the evidence linking saturated fat to heart disease, and thus silence any remaining naysayers forever.
