- Jobs In Health Informatics Are Becoming Plentiful
By: Peter Yellowlees | - The way most doctors and health care professionals do their jobs has hardly changed over the past thirty to forty years. Contrast this with the enormous changes in, say, transport, manufacturing and telecommunications!

- Health Care Reform - Will Dr Obama Be Able To Cure The Us Health System?
By: Peter Yellowlees | - Let's pretend that President Obama is actually Dr Obama, and that his job is to diagnose and treat the US Health System. What will he find, how will he go about it, and what will be the outcome?
The process of diagnosis is relatively straight forward. Everyone acknowledges that the system is broken and that there are a number of agreed on symptoms of this disorder. Firstly the system is far too costly, consuming almost twice as many dollars per capita as health systems in other We ...

By: Eddie Lamb | - Whether you are a man or a woman, it is normal to undergo mood changes, depending on the situation at hand. However, women often go through hormonal changes, and these hormonal changes can make them feel invincible at times, and hopeless during other times. Thus, when it comes to promoting effective women's health and wellness, it is important to note that music can do wonders for a woman's mood.

By: Peter Yellowlees | - As someone who has been teaching health informatics students for a number of years, it is rewarding to find this discipline finally receiving the attention and interest it demands.

- Why Sex And Money Are Not As Popular As Health.
By: Peter Yellowlees | - I recently put the word "health" into the Google search engine. The search returned 1.32 billion web pages where the word "health" was mentioned. I do really mean the number 1,320,000,000 - more than 1.3 billion mentions. I followed up with other words. "Money" found 1.2 billion pages and "sex" 819 million. What an amazing statement about the popularity of health on the net - more mentions than sex and money! And numbers of references that are in the billions. When I did this same search in 2000 ...

- The Cholesterol Buzz
By: Stephen Sinatra | - The health field is really humming and, if you listen closely, everyone seems to be talking about cholesterol. Nowadays, everyone seems to be declaring all-out war on the substance. The rally to lower cholesterol levels and eliminate it from our diets has taken on the fire and brimstone, reminiscent of a turn-of-the-century religious debate.
Practically every medical, government, and health organization in the country has jumped on the band wagon. And, if you’ll notice, all of this ...

- Mom's Guide To Better And Cheaper Health
By: Peter Yellowlees | - Mom's organize most family healthcare in this country. Women of today bear the bulk of the caring load, and tend to have responsibility for not only their own, but their husbands and their children's health. Frequently they also care for other members of extended families, their parents and grandparents, brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts, and sometimes even nieces and nephews. This is often a very time-consuming and complicated task that may lead to women giving up personal interests and op ...

- High Cholesterol Or Poor Procedure?
By: Stephen Sinatra | - In the same way that improper procedures could easily lead to a misdiagnosis of having high blood pressure, the same thing holds true for cholesterol testing. If you’ve been diagnosed as having high blood cholesterol levels you owe it to yourself (and your pocketbook) to at least make sure the test results are accurate.
First of all, don’t have your lab work done in your doctor’s office. I’ll admit that some doctors have excellent in-house laboratories, but it&rsqu ...

- Will Seafood Cause Cholesterol Problems?
By: Stephen Sinatra | - With all of the concern about cholesterol and fat in the diet, it seems that shellfish often get an undeserved reputation. If you like foods like oysters, clams, shrimp, crabs, mussels, etc. you'll be happy to know they can be part of a healthy diet. Not only do shellfish have a low fat content (0.5 percent to 2.5 percent), but about half of that fat is in the form of beneficial omega-3 oils.
Generally, fish from warmer water will contain even less fat. In frigid temperatures, the tissues ...

- Save Time And Money Using The Internet For Healthcare
By: Peter Yellowlees | - Everyone talks about how expensive healthcare is, yet few people have started to really look at how it could be cheaper for patients. Many of the costs of healthcare are the result of inefficient practices that arise from a system that has not been focused on patients, and has just assumed that patients will travel from one clinic to the next, from one lab to another, and from home to hospital. Most doctors practices and health systems try and save money for themselves, but not for patients, and ...

- 10 Questions To Check Out Your Doctor
By: Peter Yellowlees | - Most people don't check on the level of competence of their doctor. Instead they typically see someone through a referral or recommendation from a friend, colleague, or often from another doctor who is suggesting a specialist referral. Or they are frequently given a list of "accredited providers" by an insurer. Sometimes they go on the internet and do some investigations - after all most doctors now have websites or at least have some information available about them on the web, but how much? An ...

- 5 Healthcare Tips For Digital Moms
By: Peter Yellowlees | - Moms are the healthcare experts in most families. They need to look after the health of themselves, their children, their spouses and often their parents. Digital moms are able to take advantage of their internet expertise to make their health caring roles much easier. But it is still difficult to find good quality reliable health information on the web, and many moms end up being confused by seemingly conflicting health opinions.

- Bromelain And Heart Attacks
By: Stephen Sinatra | - For years I’ve discussed many of the potential dangers involved with taking an aspirin a day to help prevent heart attacks. Now, I want to tell you about an "aspirin substitute"—bromelain.
Bromelain is an enzyme extracted from the pineapple plant. It is referred to as a "protease" which means it breaks down proteins, reducing them to their basic building blocks.
Almost 500 years ago, Christopher Columbus and his crew "discovered" the pineap ...

- 5 Tips To Make The Most Of Your Medical Consultation
By: Peter Yellowlees | - Consultations with your doctor can be rushed and stressful, and it is common for patients to forget to ask key questions during the actual consultation itself.
While doctors often effectively have an "agenda" of issues to work through in a consultation,such as taking a history, performing an examination and ordering tests, issues of importance from a patients perspective can often be left out, so patients need to think about their own agenda, and what they would like to get out of ...

- 7 Reasons To Support President Obama's Initiative On Electronic Health Records
By: Peter Yellowlees | - A central component of President Obama's health policy is investment in electronic health records so all medical records are digitized within five years. This will include plans to strengthen the security and privacy governance arrangements for health information currently in place, ensure that health information cannot be sold or passed on without patient consent, and increase the range of penalties for those who do not protect health data appropriately. Many are already calling for serious rec ...

- Are You A Cyberchondriac?
By: Peter Yellowlees | - What is Cyberchondria?
This is one of the most recent words spawned by the Internet, and is a form of Internet addiction driven by anxiety. In brief it is the anxiety caused by too much searching for health information, that is often contradictory, and which causes the searcher to believe that they have excessively serious illnesses, or diagnoses that are out of proportion to their symptoms.

By: Stephen Sinatra | - During the 1991 National Conference on Cholesterol and High Blood Pressure Control, cardiologist Renata Cifkova gave us some very useful information. Ms. Cifkova was studying blood platelet activity at the Memorial University of Newfoundland when she made her "discovery."
She was working on ways to measure platelet activity in people with high blood pressure. (Platelets determine the "stickiness" of the blood and are responsible for blood clotting.) For several days sh ...

- Why You Should Be Nuts About Peanut Butter
By: Diego Malingo | - This is a common question. Most people have seen something about peanut butter, sometimes saying it is good for you, sometimes that it is not so good for you. The truth is, it depends on what kind of peanut butter you are eating. There are essentially two kinds:
1 - Natural Peanut Butter. This is 100% crushed peanuts, with no additives. Think Adam's, the household brand when it comes to natural peanut butters.
2 - Processed Peanut Butter. This is a mixt ...

By: Margo Tuazon | - A vegetarian diet is considered to be the best among all types of diets. Many studies can prove this claim. A Columbia University study has shown that the human body's structure is actually not suited for animal meat consumption. It was found that the small and large intestines of carnivores are both short. Humans, however, have small and large intestines that are long.
When humans consume meat, especially in huge proportions, it stays in the intestines for longer periods, wh ...
