Each week, Dr. Peter Janiszewski selects several notable posts from Health and Medical Research. He blogs at Obesity Panacea and Science of Blogging.
Here are this week’s most interesting discussions of peer-reviewed research in health and medicine:
- Tissue regeneration is a fascinating topic, isn’t it? Pieter Droppert of Biotech Strategy Blog wonders whether we will be able to rebuild our bodies as we get older as he examines a recent paper which generated functional urethras.
- If you’re trying to lose weight, should you or should you not regularly weigh yourself? Penny Deck of Feedback Solutions for Obesity discusses.
- For those folks with alcohol abuse problems, joining Alcoholics Anonymous is thought to be a leap in the right direction. But how important to recovery from alcoholism is the presence of an AA sponsor? PeaPod From Binge Inking explains.
- And finally, a general suggestion to check out a fantastic new addition to Research Blogging, Medical Media Watch – a fantastic blog uncovering the connection between medicine and media.
Come back next week for more riveting discussions of health and medicine
