- Insurance status linked to cancer outcomes
A new report from the American Cancer Society finds substantial evidence that lack of adequate health insurance coverage is linked to less access to care and poorer outcomes for cancer patients. The report finds the uninsured are less likely to receive recommended cancer screening tests, are more likely to be diagnosed with later stage disease, and have lower survival rates than those with private insurance for several cancers. The new findings on stage at diagnosis and survival by insurance status use data from the National Cancer Database (NCDB), a hospital-based registry sponsored by the .........

Mark Gerstein and colleagues published a very nice review of the gene in Genome Research this summer, and I missed it. I think I was on vacation in Wyoming. Anyway, I just found it now. If you missed it too, definitely check it out. The review covers how genes were conceptualized since their "discovery" by Mendel, and touches upon all the major milestones in the history of genetics. The authors then discuss issues with the current conception of the gene, and propose a new model. Here is their summary:
A proposed updated definition

Ah, sunny Florida. As autumn closes in on the PNW (rain, fog, cool days) with winter not far behind (rain, fog, cool days), sunshine fanatics like me look to southern getaways. Originally an easterner, I'm accustomed to Florida as a destination, especially as one can drive there from Toronto, Buffalo, etc., in 36 hours or less. California's now a lot closer but if I still lived in Ontario Russo & Steele's new Florida venue would be a tempting winter diversion. The innovative auctioneer, well known for muscle car sales during Scottsdale's January auction week, is launching .........
