How About This Opportunity, Health Tech Investors? Promoting Contraception vs. Banning Abortion
By MIKE MAGEE

Health Care Through the Back Door: The Dangers of Nurse Visits
By HANS DUVEFELT
In some practices, patients with seemingly simple problems are scheduled to be seen by a nurse or medical assistant. Sometimes they can even just drop off a urine sample in case of a suspected urinary tract infection.
This is a dangerous trap. What if the patient rarely gets urinary infections, has back pain and assumes it is a UTI instead of a kidney stone or shingles on their back just where one kidney is located; what if they have lower abdominal pain from an ovarian cyst or an ectopic pregnancy?
Another dangerous type of “nurse visit” is when patients focus on one symptom or parameter, thi...

Underfunding Research Of Female Health Leaves Huge Amounts Of Money On The Table
“Did you know that at least one-third of women have lower back pain before their periods every month, and yet, nobody seems to fully understand why?” – asked a Medical Futurist team member a little while ago. The question led to a discussion about the differences in research, funding and understanding of male-only and female-only health issues, and consequently, to this article.
It is a well-known fact that some diseases or conditions dominantly affect one gender or the other. There are the trivial ones, like prostate cancer or ovarian, cervical, uterine cancers. But there is a long list of diseases and condit...

Check out the highlights of our interview with Dr. Jones to learn about her career path, her passion for sharing science with the public, and her research on sepsis—an overwhelming or impaired whole-body immune response to an insult, such as an infection or injury that’s ...

The A word once again
I ' ve written about abortion here before, and now I ' m pretty much just going to repeat myself, but it ' s time to do so.Point one -- and this is important -- conservative evangelicals had absolutely no problem with abortion until the mid-1970s.Historian Randall Balmer tells the story here, and it is absolutely incontrovertible, as this excerpt makes clear:Both before and for several years afterRoe, evangelicals were overwhelmingly indifferent to the subject, which they considered a “Catholic issue.” In 1968, for instance, a symposium sponsored by the Christian Medical Society andChristianity Today, the flagshi...

A physician ’s infertility story
How ironic the way a young woman’s thoughts and attitudes change. We spend so many years— decades, perhaps— preoccupied by controlling our cycles. For some, it is about cycle control.

Perinatal Mental Health Support for Parents of Color: Interview with Lauren Elliott, Founder of Candlelit Therapy
Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders are very common, and can cause significant suffering and distress for many new parents. Black women and women of color are often at higher risk of such disorders. Despite this, there has been a lack of culturally relevant mental health supports for such parents. Candlelit Therapy, a company based in New York City, aims to change this by providing access to mental health supports that are specifically designed for new or expecting parents who are black, indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC).
The services provided by Candlelit Therapy include Candlelit Care, a point-of-care digital t...
