My favourite kind of post is MedWatch as I find so many interesting and instructing materials in the blogosphere that I must show you here. But don’t worry, a great interview with a strong man fighting Pompe disease (and blogging about it) is going to be ready soon.
Far, far the best work on the subject, don’t miss it if you’re curious about the possible ways Wikipedia can develop in the future. And regarding the fact that Wikipedia broke into the top 10 sites, it became more important to describe some of the most problematic parts of the whole community. And Google is on our side…
And she, Amillia Taylor, is alive and will definitely have no disabilities, the prognosis is excellent. She started her life with an unbelievably strong fight. A real miraculous story…

Surgeons who played video games at least three hours a week in their past were 27% faster, with 37% fewer errors, in simulations of laparoscopic surgery than nonplayers. (I’d be an excellent surgeon according to this study…)
Great! At last, someone started it, my only concern that it’s not me. We’re on the right way to know more about monogenic genetic conditions, but we’re still far from understand the multifactorial ones. Now, the goal of the Kaiser Permanente Research Program on Genes, Environment and Health (RPGEH) is to discover which genes and environmental factors-the air we breathe, the water we drink, as well as lifestyles and habits-are linked to specific diseases. I’m eagerly waiting for the first findings.
Do you want a genetically engineered pet? No? Don’t say that as the features and advantages are incredible: 7 personality types, color coding, heart monitor, fresh gauge, hibernation, allergen free, child safe and low maintanance. Every children’s dream… Here is the HOWTO!

Whoa! Be very careful about saying this baby “will definitely not have any disabilities.” It’s impossible to say that this early in this baby’s life–we often don’t see neurodevelopmental outcomes in prematurely born babies until school age.
Generally speaking, I’d be really careful about putting your interpretations in the quotes boxes (text in there is usually assumed to be a direct quote from a different source, and it now appears that you’re attributing your statements to whichever source you’re linking to.
First, most of those sentences in the quote boxes are real quotations. Second, you’re absolutely right, I’ll pay much more attention to it. Thank you for the suggestion!

I’m interested with that video games-better surgery performance relationship. Please provide an abstract of any study that can prove that. That is really interesting.
