Fast-forwarding to the years preceding the 1964 surgeon general's report scientists were gathering more rigorous evidence that smoking causes various illnesses including lung cancer.
Then he met Pedro del Nido a cardiac surgeon at Boston Children's Hospital. Del Nido specializes in sealing up children's heart defects literally holes in the heart that shouldn't be there.

Dr Simon Gosling from the School of Geography at The University of Nottingham co-authored four papers in this unique global collaboration.
For the project--'Intersectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project (ISI-MIP)'-Dr Gosling contributed simulations of global river flows to help understand how climate change might impact on global droughts water scarcity and river flooding.
Dr Gosling said: This research and the feature in PNAS highlights what could happen across several sectors
Another paper co-authored by Dr Gosling shows that without reductions in global greenhouse-gas emissions 40 per cent more people are likely to be at risk of absolute water scarcity than would be the case without climate change.
Dr Gosling said: The global-level results are concerning but they hide important regional variations.
Dr Gosling said: More water under climate change is not necessarily always a good thing.
Dr Gosling's 23-volume report Climate: observations projections and impacts commissioned by the Department of energy and Climate Change (DECC) which he jointly led with the UK Met Office addressed an urgent international need for scientific evidence on the impact of climate change to be presented in a consistent format

Dr Mani Shrestha from Monash University and his colleague Prakash Bhattrai from the Tribhuvan University Kathmandu collected spectral data from more than 100 flowering plants in Nepal over a range of altitudes from 900
Dr Shrestha said flowers from both subtropical (900-2000m) and alpine (3000-4100m) regions showed evidence of having evolved color spectral signatures to enhance discrimination by bee pollinators.
and these insects have been such effective pollinators that they have led to the evolution of distinctive bee-friendly colors Dr Shrestha said.

and the Champalimaud Neuroscience Programme explains: When we presented solitary locusts with an unfamiliar odour together with toxic food they assigned it an aversive('bad')value.
'As Dr. Ott explains: Desert locusts aggregate into swarms when they run out of food--the crowding is driven by hunger and competition for the last few plants in the desert.
Dr Niven adds: Because newly crowded locusts don't form memories about toxins they ingest all they remember is the pleasant side of

which can make it difficult to diagnosis. Dr. Carroccio and his colleagues reviewed data on 276 patients diagnosed with NCWS using a double-blind placebo-controlled wheat challenge.
and the basophil activation assay in food allergy as well as the histology findings in the food allergy diagnosis said Dr. Carroccio.
This is now considered a crucial element in IBS pathogenesis. Future studies in NCWS patients should consider the role of diet in the microbiota and in turn on the intestinal immune system Dr. Carroccio added.
Based on his review Dr. Carroccio concluded Non-celiac wheat sensitivity can now be considered the cause of gastrointestinal symptoms which overlap those commonly attributed to functional disorders.

Yet when it comes to reducing their own stress levels physicians don't heed always their own advice.
Studies estimate that 20 to 60 percent of physicians experience burnout at some time during their careers.
This level of distress and strain can have a significant influence on the quality of care that doctors provide.
to help familiarize future doctors with techniques recommended in many medical treatment plans for patients;
The rate of burnout among doctors is sobering and every medical school needs to include stress-management training in their curriculums.
