The decision to not vaccinate is driven by fear and misinformation
I was browsing the internet one day and came across a photo of a group of women who appeared educated and influential. They were wearing blue T-shirts with claims that vaccines cause autoimmune diseases, seizures, ADHD or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, learning disabilities, death, autism, sudden infant death syndrome and infertility.
I couldn’t help but laugh at them! I shared this photo on my Facebook page. To my surprise, one of my educated friends shared her concern about vaccinations and declared that she had withheld immunization from her own children. I decided to write this paper for young women like m...

My exit ramp from medicine
One day, I was full of moderate despair, overworked, befuddled by the EHR with a tinge of burnout, staring at my computer, I treated myself to something I’ve not done before. It was my 62nd birthday that day, and I gave myself a birthday present. Before rising from that swivel chair, I had written down on a sticky pad the day that would be my retirement date, exactly one year after the expiration of my contract which I would be willing to extend no more than another year.
We try to keep ourselves productive in life because it is finite. Having my professional years identifiably finite would keep the remaining time focuse...

Eponymythology: Atraumatic Abdominal Ecchymosis

Overview
We review the original descriptions of 5 eponymous signs (n=6) associated with non-traumatic abdominal ecchymosis.
These commonly cited eponyms involving the abdominal wall and flanks (Grey Turner, Cullen and Stabler); scrotum (Bryant) and upper thigh (Fox) may be useful clues directing the examiner to consider potentially serious causes of abdominal pathology.

A tired child? What you should know
Follow me on Twitter @drClaire
Children often complain of being tired. Usually it’s for simple reasons — because it’s the end of a busy day, or because they stayed up late the night before, or because they are trying to get out of doing something they don’t want to do. When kids are sick they are usually tired, and need more rest to get better. But when a child complains all the time, and fatigue starts to get in the way of things they usually enjoy, it could be a sign of a problem.
Here are some possible reasons for chronic fatigue in children:
Sleep problems. This makes sense, obviously, since if a child doesnâ€...

Dr. Google: The top 10 health searches in 2017
Follow me on Twitter @RobShmerling
Ever wonder what other people are wondering about? I know I do.
So, here are the top 10 health searches in Google for 2017. And just so you don’t have to look each one up, I’ve provided a brief answer. You’re welcome.
1. What causes hiccups?
I was surprised this one made it to the top 10 list of health searches. Maybe this search is common because hiccups are as mysterious as they are universal. I’ve written about hiccups before, but let’s just say the cause in any individual person is rarely known or knowable. Then again, the reason hiccups stop is also unknown.
Some triggers...

Having recently reviewed the chronology of diffuse toxic goitre (Parry-Graves-Basedow disease) we tackle the chronological descriptions behind Graves orbitopathy (GO).
Why? Well, I’m still working that out. But I think that in our KPI-driven quest for diagnostic certainty, we have forgotten the descriptive pioneers – the clinical diagnosticians.

It’s something you lost too early. It’s why you have trouble trusting people. It even explains why you’re anxious and unhappy a lot of the time.
An unstable childhood stole your ability to have faith and believe that in the end everything works out, even if it doesn’t work out the way you want it to.
Yet, you’re given a chance in every situation, challenge and unpleasant experience you find ourselves in.

A fire, thick socks, and prebiotics to keep you warm
Here’s an interesting speculation: The microbes in bowel flora are metabolically active, generating heat. There are so many microbes inhabiting the human intestine that it is estimated that up to 70% of human heat (at rest) is generated by bowel flora.
In support of this argument, antibiotics have been found to reduce body temperature. Animals raised to have sterile intestines free of microorganisms also have lower body temperature. The pound or so of human bowel flora is therefore a virtual heat factory.
We know that feelings of being cold can be produced by common health conditions such as iodine deficiency, hypoth...

Who needs rice when you have cauliflower?
Â
Cauliflower is a versatile vegetable: raw, cooked, mashed, roasted, or riced. Using riced cauliflower allows you to recreate many rice dishes easily while maintaining a grain-free, low-carb eating style.
Use riced cauliflower as a substitute for all forms of rice without sacrificing taste or texture. While you can rice the cauliflower yourself in a food chopper or food processor, food retailers such as Trader Joe’s are now selling pre-riced bags for convenience. Our replacement for mashed potatoes is mashed cauliflower, a delicious substitute that tastes every bit as good without the excessive carbohydrate load...
