YasmineN Friendship

I have many friends from online. Maybe not 100+ but enough to keep me busy usually if I want to talk to someone. However, I am finding that everyone has a different idea of what friendship means.

I get into so much trouble because I am not so quick to reply to emails or sometimes I just want a week or two to myself without having to say hello to anyone. Is it too much to ask for?

Sometimes I say something as a joke and its taken seriously. Sometim

YasmineN Round 2

No studying. My USMLE World questions will run its course in about two and a half weeks and then I will have to pay again and I havent even completed 50% of the questions yet. I will have to take time off studying other subjects just to do the questions and I think I should try to complete them. I can always hit the books at any time.

It might not be such a bad idea since I still havent gotten around to studying lately. I've been doing everything but studying. Mostly talking

Doctors Hangout Team Preventing diabetes complications: are we too glucocentric?

The prevention of macrovascular complications is a major goal of diabetes management. Control of hypertension and hyperlipidemia is a well supported means for preventing macrovascular events in people with and without diabetes. Data from large trials have questioned the macrovascular benefits of aggressive glucose control. Nevertheless, diabetes management has become increasingly focused on achieving tight glycemic control. New research highlights the growing concern that this 'glucocentric' app… Continue

Doctors Hangout Team New research reveals more and more American girls starting puberty by age 8

Doctors and parents were stunned when research published more than a decade ago found some American girls were beginning puberty as early as 7. A new study, released Sunday, suggests the average age at which puberty begins may still be falling for white and Latina girls.

According to the paper, which appears in the journal Pediatrics, almost 25 percent of African American girls have reached the onset of puberty by age 7, now joined by almost 15 percent of Latina girls and more than 10… Continue

Doctors Hangout Team Wearing high heels might make you feel sexy and powerful, but think about the future health consequences

If there’s one thing to be learned from "Sex and the City," it’s that women love high heels. Sure, they might be painful to wear and challenging to walk in (for some of us, anyway), but as the saying goes, beauty is pain.

But blisters might not be the only downside to wearing high heels. In fact, the damage might be occurring higher up on the body – in the ankle, knee and hip, according to new research being presented later this month at the annual meeting of the American Society of B… Continue

Doctors Hangout Team 700 children born with genetic disabilities due to cousin marriages every year

More than 700 children are born with genetic diseases every year as a result of cousin marriages, an investigation has found.

The problem is worst among children born in Britain's Pakistani community, where more than half of marriages are between first cousins, and children are 10 times more likely than the general population to suffer genetic disorders.

The medical risks of first cousin marriages include higher rates of infant mortality, birth defects, learning difficulti… Continue

Doctors Hangout Team Japan needs nurses, stat

TOKYO, Japan — It was supposed to be the perfect solution to a seemingly intractable problem: how to care for the sick and elderly in a country suffering from a declining, and quickly graying, population.

Japan’s decision in 2008 to invite nurses and caregivers from Indonesia and the Philippines to fill gaping holes in its health service was hailed as proof of a new spirit of openness in a country that has traditionally shunned large numbers of skilled workers from abroad.

Dr Muhammed Rafeeque The lesson from the Heart

The heart gives us a billion dollar worth lesson:
Heart is full of blood, but, he is seriously affected by a lack of blood supply. He is only bothered about giving blood to others, he never takes the blood directly from his own body, and depends on the narrow coronary vessels. His only motto is to serve others!

I wonder, why God has not given some special c… Continue

Doctors Hangout Team Why Some People’s Farts Are Worse Than Others

I've got a big, stinky problem. My roommate farts like crazy. I know everyone passes gas, but this guy literally farts 30-50 times per day. My question is why do some people fart so much more than others? Why do some people reek while others don't? We share most meals so we're basically eating the same thing. What gives? — Sean T., Philadelphia, PA

Intestinal gas is a mixture of swallowed air (if you don't belch it up, it'll pass through to the other end) and products of fermentation… Continue

Doctors Hangout Team Ketamine is 'magic drug' for depression

A single dose of the drug Ketamine acts like "magic" lifting people out of depression in hours and lasting more than a week, scientists claim.

The drug has traditionally been used as an anaesthetic for animals and, in some cases, humans – but has also established itself as a nightclub favourite in recent years, where it is nicknamed Special K.

But studies have found it can treat depression within hours, even when years of alternative treatments have failed.

Doctors Hangout Team The "MacStatin": Fast Food With Some Ketchup, Salt, and a Statin to Go

August 13, 2010 (Updated August 17, 2010) (London, United Kingdom) — Pushing the envelope of primary prevention to a point few cardiologists are likely to be comfortable with, a group of British cardiologists are proposing a rather radical strategy to neutralize the risk of cardiovascular disease caused by unhealthy eating habits.

They suggest that fast-food restaurants, such as McDonald's, offer customers a statin to go with their meal, one that could be found alongside the salt, sug… Continue

YasmineN What studying?

No surprise that I have not really been studying much at all the last few days. If it isnt a headache that stops me, its the desire to be doing something else. I know what it is. It's the fact that I have no social life. Having gone friendless for a very long time now has taken its toll on me and its hitting me really hard. I can see it in my behavior. I will chat to friends online for a long time and then feel guilty that I didnt read, but I will repeat the pattern the next day. I have a suppor… Continue

YasmineN No reading

I didnt read anything last Friday I think it was. I had a headache so thats one missed day. Gahh. I guess it happens. Then I didnt study yesterday either. I feel sometimes that I need the entire weekend to just relax and not have to worry about doing any reading.

I am fasting in Ramadan and so sometimes I dont feel like reading until I have opened the fast in the evening. I might wait today as well. I sleep in the day and study at night so its not that many hours lost. Today
