Usage patterns and adverse experiences in traditional Korean medicine: results of a survey in South Korea
Conclusions: The medical usage and occurrence of adverse events on TKM should be surveyed periodically, and the statistical trends should be analysed. The disparity between the survey results for traditional herbal medicines and medical practices, and those for the national pharmacovigilance system or academic reports of adverse experiences should be examined. The national pharmacovigilance system must be improved to compensate for the disparities. Policies and regulations are required to enhance the reporting of adverse experiences not only for herbal medicines but also for traditional medicinal therapies.

Sho-saiko-to, a traditional herbal medicine, regulates gene expression and biological function by way of microRNAs in primary mouse hepatocytes

This functional segregation by microRNA would be critical for the elucidation of the molecular activities of SST.

Homeopathy on the crossroads of traditional and integrative medicine in the Middle-East
Abstract The Middle-East is characterized by a rich spectrum of complementary and traditional medicine therapies, which are used by patients in parallel with conventional medicine. Indigenous traditional medicine practices in the region focus mainly on herbal medicine and far less on the use of European-based complementary medicine modalities such as homeopathy. Little has been reported on the extent to which homeopathy is being used in the Middle-East, this despite an emerging body of basic science and clinical research on the subject from countries such as Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Israel, and Lebanon.

Introducing Chinese Medicine Central (the evolution of Deepest Health)
I started Deepest Health in 2007 as a second year student at National College of Natural Medicine (NCNM). I am a person who learns by writing and by teaching, and a blog seemed an ideal way to do both, while also building a potential resource for patients. As it developed, I realized that I wasn’t that interested in writing for patients (though I’ve warmed up to the idea in the last 5 years), but instead found real happiness in discussing various aspects of the medicine with my peers and with practitioners all over the world. After graduation, I decided to experiment with expanding my offerings to include cours...

It Costs Nothing to Care: Why We Need to Provide Health Insurance for Undocumented US Residents
By ABRAAR KARAN, MD The cost of medical service provision in the United States is one of the most palpable strains on the healthcare system, but we must not forget that cost is the sibling of quality and access—without considering the three as such, we will undoubtedly fail to navigate our country’s healthcare quandary. Low quality care inevitably results in the need for more care in the form of readmissions, while lack of access to primary care leads to increases in the utilization of expensive, emergency services. Of particular concern in our country, a growing contributor to cost, and driven by low quality care and...
