Comic relief
Medical terminology can be confusing for many patients, especially children.
Have you ever suffered a medical nightmare like this?
“Patient displays an acute communicable disease with an incubation period of 2 or 3 weeks and caused by herpesvirus, usually found in children. Manifestations include coryza, fever, malaise, and headache, followed in 2 or 3 days by the eruption of macular vesicles.”
Chances are you have. The above paragraph is just a complicated description of a common childhood virus: chicken pox. In most cases doctors are happy to act as medical translators for their patientsâ explaining complicated medical terminology in every day languageâ but when it comes to written material, many medical publications rely heavily on industry jargon. It can be intimidati... MedWorm Message: Register for MedMatcha, MedWorm's medical advertising network, and receive $5 free advertising.

Vagal control of pancreatic beta-cell proliferation.
VAGAL CONTROL OF PANCREATIC BETA-CELL PROLIFERATION.
Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab. 2010 Aug 17;
Authors: Lausier JA, Diaz WC, Roskens V, Larock K, Herzer K, Fong CG, Latour MG, Peshavaria M, Jetton TL
The physiological mechanisms that preserve pancreatic beta-cell mass (BCM) are not fully understood. Although the regulation of islet function by the autonomic nervous system (ANS) is well established, its potential roles in BCM homeostasis and compensatory growth have not been adequately explored. The parasympathetic vagal branch of the ANS serves to facilitate gastrointestinal function, metabolism, and pancreatic islet regulation of glucose homeostasis, including insulin secretion. Given the functional importance of the vagus nerve and its branches to the liver, gut, and pancre...

Going gluten-free
People with celiac disease need to eat a gluten-free diet, but why are other consumers joining them?
The Hannaford store in Portland Maine recently expanded its Nature Place department –which used to include but a few shelves of gluten-free products– to a 40-foot area stocked with more than 500 items ranging from cookies to pasta sauce, all of them free of the protein that can pose real problems for people with celiac disease.
Oddly enough, the celiac disease populationâthe people who genuinely need gluten-free foodâseem to have little to do with the current boom in gluten-free products.
A recent survey reports that 15 to 25 percent of consumers are looking for gluten-free choices when they shop for food. The same survey reveals that only 1 percent of those shoppers actual...
