10 Experiments at the Forefront of Sleep Science
As part of the team at Experiment.com, a crowdfunding platform for science, I get to talk to scientists all the time. I've been an insomniac and poor sleeper all my life, so I decided to run a Sleep Challenge Grant to launch a batch of sleep experiments together on the site.
Here's what I'm learning from 10 scientists at the forefront of sleep research:
Men who go to sleep late have more sex.
"Evening men," who naturally wake up later and go to sleep later, tend to have higher mating success but lower success in social settings like school or business. Dr. Christoph Randler wants to investigate whether there are clues fo...

Voodoo Medicine: Time To Stop
The world's most celebrated athlete standing on the podium in Rio in honor of receiving yet another gold medal has something important in common with your lazy uncle throwing back a cold one in his Barcalounger. Yes, swimming powerhouse Michael Phelps, purple-spotted from cupping therapy, and your slovenly relative with a beer gut both share a bond -- a weakness in succumbing to the allure of voodoo medicine. Modern-day snake oil salesmen hawking quick cures and TV doctors peddling the latest diet miracle with blatantly ridiculous claims are everywhere on the tube, social media, the supermarket and old-fashioned billboards...

Defining Metabolic Syndrome and Factors Associated with Metabolic Syndrome in a Poly-pharmaceutical Population.
CONCLUSION: The IDF definition for METs that makes allowance for treatment for each specific condition can lead to an overestimation in the prevalence of METs in population studies. Not including those medicated with normal results conversely underestimates the prevalence of METs. We have therefore proposed adjustments to BP and lipid measurements based on pooled mean effects from published systematic reviews to mitigate bias in future research on prevalence of METs.

Patient, Doctor, and the Data: Emergence of the Third Player
Amith Vikramr
The conventional model of medicine had only two players. The doctor alone had access to all medical information and his encounter with the patient was the only way to obtain health-related information. The dawn of the information age led to a change in the dynamics in this relationship. A consumerist model of healthcare has emerged where doctors partner with patients in managing the patient’s illness. The advances in systems biology, big data and consumer health care electronics will add patient data as a new element to the patient-physician interface. In the next decade, individual patients will generate ...

Longitudinal transition trajectory of gouty arthritis and its comorbidities: a population-based study
AbstractThe aim of the study was to investigate the longitudinal transition trajectory of gout and its comorbidities in male patients with gout in different age groups. A total of 3973 male patients who received a new diagnosis of gouty arthritis were identified from the Taiwan Longitudinal Health Insurance Database and divided into two age cohorts (<50 and ≥50 years). Each patient was individually followed from 2000 to 2009 to identify associated comorbidities, namely hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases, and chronic kidney disease. Two outcome measurements of stroke and all...
