>I Am, Therefore I Think?

>The 17th century philosopher René Descartes is known for coining
>the statement "I think, therefore I am."  But Descartes, who was
>born on this date in 1596, was also a scientist, mathematician
>and physiologist.  Rather than rely on the spiritualism of the
>time, Descartes attempted to use the certainty of mathematics to
>explain the uncertain areas of knowledge.  As a physiologist,
>Descartes believed that the blood included a fluid, which he
>called animal spirits, that came into contact with thinking
>substances in the brain and flowed out along the channels of the
>nerves to animate the parts of the body.

>Hopkins Q&A: Pesticides and Children
>
>BALTIMORE - The Environmental Working Group (EWG) recently
>reported that apples, as well as some other fruits and
>vegetables, are so contaminated by pesticides that parents should
>consider substituting foods known to be less tainted.  The EWG
>analysis followed a similar report by Consumer Reports magazine
>about pesticides in foods.  According to EWG, more than a quarter
>million American children ages one through five ingest a
>combination of 20 different pesticides every day and, overall, 20
>million American children five and under eat an average of eight
>pesticides every day.  InteliHealth spoke with Lynn Goldman, MD,
>MPH, about these reports and what parents should do.  Dr.
>Goldman, a pediatrician, is a visiting scholar in the Department
>of Health Policy and Management at the Johns Hopkins School of
>Public Health, as well as Principal Investigator for Children's
>Environmental Health at the Pew Commission on Environmental
>Health.

>Hopkins: The Multicenter Cohort Study
>
>_______________________________________________________
>March 31, 1999
>
>BALTIMORE (Johns Hopkins) - Fifteen years ago today a study began
>that's shed much light on what predicts the progression of HIV
>and AIDS. The multicenter AIDS cohort study (MACS for short)
>gathered more than 5,000 gay men as volunteers.
>
>Studied at four different sites around the country, the group
>yielded critical information about who is at highest risk for
>developing AIDS. Researchers were thus able to develop guidelines
>about who should be treated, and when.  From the men doctors
>learned more about how HIV levels in the blood predict how fast
>the disease will progress.  The MACS volunteers have been very
>loyal, coming to clinics year after year for checkups.  Johns
>Hopkins participated in the study.
>
>"I have a lot of respect for the dedication that the study
>participants have exhibited to fighting this scourge, which can
>affect anybody," explains Dr.  Joseph Margolick.  "It makes me
>mindful always of how unfair it is that gay people have
>encountered the kinds of discrimination they've had to contend
>with so often.
>
>The study's current focus is on why HIV progresses at different
>rates in different people.
