Chico (a far more manageable name than “Computer Hospital Intensive Care Operator”) allowed doctors and other medical workers at Miami’s Jackson Memorial Hospital to virtually examine patients, speak to them, and access their [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My wife and I recently returned from a wonderful weekend up in Sonoma County, where we indulged in a little wine tasting. While I’m actually not much of a drinker, learning about wine and winemaking is always fascinating. Upon our return, we’ve plunged into this season of holiday parties, with alcoholic drinks being served at [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lately, when I perform physical exams, I’ve been including Vitamin D levels with the routine lab tests. Very frequently, these levels come back low. Is this important? What does it mean to have a low Vitamin D level, and what impact does that have on our health? Vitamin D is actually a group of five [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So many of us are keeping a watchful eye on our sodium, fat, or calorie consumption. How do we know what we&#8217;re eating? Is there a simple way to understand the contents of the food that we buy? The Nutrition Labeling and Education Act (NLEA) was passed in 1990, requiring all packaged foods to display [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Every one of us has the opportunity have our organs donated upon our death. How do we make that decision? What factors should we consider? There is a clear need, but bioethical concerns cloud the issue. Interestingly, organized religion poses few obstacles. Let’s explore together. Organ transplants save lives every day. If a transplant is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As the cliché goes, laughter is the best medicine. But is it really? Is there evidence to support such a claim? It turns out that the research is full of good hard evidence that too much stress results in increased levels of ACTH, cortisol, epinephrine, and norepinephrine; the so-called “stress hormones”. This is not normally [...]]]></description>

It’s a simple question, with a not so simple answer! Water makes up about 60% of our body weight and is the principal chemical component in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tussis: It’s Latin for cough; a bodily function we can all relate to. Typically it’s merely a simple reflex due to allergies, a cold, or asthma, but it can unfortunately be one of the symptoms of something much worse, like pneumonia or lung cancer. Coughing can be voluntary or involuntary. It is a sudden and [...]]]></description>

Science has indeed come a long way in discovering “markers” to follow the progress of cancer treatment in the body, but how much do we know [...]]]></description>

Anxiety disorders affect at least 19 million adult Americans, and tend to begin in childhood, adolescence, or early adulthood. They occur slightly more often in women than in men, and appear with similar frequency [...]]]></description>
