Teaching medical students about mind-body approaches could help boost their compassion and decrease their stress, according to a small study from the Boston University School of Medicine. Published in the journal Medical Education Online, the study showed that medical students who underwent a mind-body class -- where they not only learned about the neuroscience behind techniques like meditation and yoga, but also how to do them -- had improved self-compassion, as well as slight decreases in stress and increases in empathy.

Despite rumors that smartphones and tablets could be subjected to a new 2.3 percent medical device tax, Foreman said those devices would not be regulated as medical devices and therefore not subject to the new tax. During the week, others discussed the possibility of taxing mobile medical apps, with some saying that mobile health apps would be exempt from the tax if they were distributed through retail channels.

Despite the much heralded advance of digital health, individuals are slow to adopt.
why? The status quo is not yet painful enough for the individual. Employers largely pay the burden via the insurance companies. And since the mentality is "doesn't affect me," not likely to see adoption soon enough.
A few things need to happen for adoption:
Greater transparency over the true costs of care and who's paying them for the individual
Outrage over inequality and a proliferation of alternatives forms of care
Building the roads to the consumer to engage them in their day to day health

It's becoming increasingly apparent that providers, with their 20% margins and non-profit structure, can charge consumers whatever they feel like for care. This link illustrates the wide variety of charges within the DC metro area for the same service.
Whether true price transparency or consumer shopping needs to be applied remains to be seen as a solution to this growing problem.

Not surprisingly, people who visited venues with high concentrations of people were more likely to get the flu. And people living in polluted areas were more at risk than those living elsewhere.

Stress Leads to Worse PMS Symptoms
Researchers from Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development found that women who reported stress early in the menstrual cycle were more likely than relaxed women to report discomfort before and during menstruation. All of the women in the study were followed for more than one cycle. And among the women who reported stress one month, but not the next, the more stressful month was followed by worse PMS symptoms.
It isn't clear why stress affects a woman's physical comfort and mood even weeks later, before and during her period. But stress is a hormonal process, and so is the work of the reproductive system.
