...Mediterranean-style diet is a very important part in the treatment of diabetes. We knew that," says Dr. Loren Greene, a New York University Medical Center endocrinologist, who was not involved in the study. "But there just hasn't been a good study to confirm this before." Some past studies have suggested that eating fewer carbohydrates can help diabetes patients lower their blood sugar.

...University of Arizona, researchers led by endocrinologist Janet Funk injected a bacterial substance known to cause joint inflammation (which is what arthritis ultimately is) into the bellies of the rodents. If the researchers gave them turmeric first (also by injection into the abdomen), there was far less joint swelling produced. A specific active ingredient of the turmeric worked better still. A rigorous protocol and pictures of the rats' normal and swollen joints convinced me there was a real effect. Further experiments by the group even showed how turmeric turns down inflammation, by blocking production of the protein that turns...
...excellent goals,” he said. HMS Assistant Professor of Medicine Graham T. McMahon said that Medpedia could enhance doctor-patient interaction. “I just thought it would be a way to make a contribution to patient education,” said McMahon, an endocrinologist. But only time will tell how Medpedia will impact the practice of medicine, according to Ishir Bhan ’96, an instructor in medicine at HMS. “We haven’t really had this sort of thing in medicine,” Bhan said...
