IAS calls on Burmese Government to reverse ruling to shut down charitable HIV/AIDS clinic

The International AIDS Society (IAS) calls on the Burmese Government to reverse a ruling made on November 18 to shut down a charitable HIV/AIDS clinic in Rangoon. The government demand came just one day after Aung San Suu Kyi, the recently released Nobel Peace Prize laureate visited the centre to show her support.

Implementing electronic prescribing in primary care practices

Primary care physicians provide essential health services to patients of all ages and while a family physician's office is a warm, comfortable environment, a physician's practice also is a business.

Diabetes in college students linked to depression and distress

Diabetes mellitus affects about 10% of the population, and predisposes the affected individual to a host of complications. Thus these patients need to follow a regulated lifestyle, including regular exercise, a low-sugar diet, regular and appropriate use of diabetes medication, self-testing for glucose levels and adjusting medication if used, and scheduled or necessary follow-up with a healthcare provider.

T-cells can develop in human tonsils

A new study provides evidence that a critical type of immune cell can develop in human tonsils. The cells, called T lymphocytes, or T cells, have been thought to develop only in the thymus, an organ of the immune system that sits on the heart.
