2008-08-19 02:00:00 Information risk management, and lessons-learned in the financial industry Last week's Economist had a good article entitled "Confessions of a Risk Manager", in which a risk manager from a global bank uses 20-20 hindsight to look at "what went wrong" in the lead-up to the credit crunch and the ensuing fallout. I won't pretend to understand all the ins and outs of financial derivatives, but there were some points raised that anyone in the IT security space can identify with...

Norway: Radical Imam Deemed Security Risk Says His Rights Have Been Violate
2008-08-05 21:03:00 I have wrote about this Imam named Mullah Krekar before. He has been facing deportation for some time as you can see here. He also had this to say "It is allowed for me to kill Australian soldiers in Iraq. It is allowed for me in Islam to kill his translator, to kill the people which give him food and water, give him medicine. All of them is in the line of the war." Now hes saying his rights have been violated. How absurd. It is ridiculous this man walks freely in Norway.OSLO (Reuters) - The founder of a radical Islamist group, deemed a security risk to Norway, has complained to a European human rights court that Norwegian authorities are violating his rights, Norwegian media reported on Tuesday. Mullah Krekar, born Najmuddin Faraj Ahmad, is an Iraqi Kurd and founder of the radical Islamist group Ansar al-Islam. Norway's Supreme Court upheld a ruling to expel him last November, saying he posed a security risk to the country.But he cannot in practice be deported because Norway does...

Skunk 'psychosis risk' warning
2008-07-04 21:42:00 BBC NEWS Health Skunk 'psychosis risk' warningPeople who smoke the strongest form of cannabis - known as skunk - may be more at risk of psychosis than those who use milder forms, UK researchers claim. (but they dont ask, how does prohibition help, nor explore how unregulated and criminal markets induce madness? /Blair)In a study of 300 people, those who had suffered an episode of psychosis were 18 times more likely to have smoked skunk than other cannabis users. A Royal College of Psychiatrists meeting heard they were also more likely to use cannabis every day.But experts urged caution over the interpretation of the findings. The evidence on the link between cannabis and psychotic illness such as schizophrenia has been inconsistent. We should take a cannabis history in a more detailed way like we do when we take a history of cigarettes smoking to establish risk of lung cancer - Dr Maria Di Forti Earlier this year the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs concluded there was a pr...

Chronic Pain Treatment (Is it Worth the Risk?)
2008-06-14 22:21:00 It troubles the HEADoc to make today's entry. . . but he must as a matter of principle. A reporter from the local paper was courteous enough to contact The HEADoc before printing information about a Consent Order from the NC Medical Board to run this weekend. Gossip usually doesn't bother The HEADoc for he knows that the truth always wins with enough time. There are always two sides to every story with the truth usually caught up somewhere in the middle. A consent order from a board is equivalent to an indictment in the traditional criminal court but should not be equated with a criminal act. It simply states that there it has been determined that there is sufficient evidence for a case to be heard in the appropriate legal forum for the purpose of settling the complaint. The accused could be dealt with any number of ways. It could be determined that nothing further is required to remedy the situation or problem. Sometimes a doctor's license is restricted or sus...

Alcohol Lowers Risk of Rheumatoid Arthritis

More Education Decreases the Risk of Death [Highlight HEALTH]
2008-06-03 06:14:00 Everyone knows that a good education is important for getting a good job. Now researchers are finding that being well-educated can lengthen your life. The study, published earlier this month in the journal PLoS ONE, finds that socioeconomic inequalities in the U.S. death rate between people with less than a high school education and college graduates increased from 1993 to 2001 [1]. The widening gap is due to (i) significant decreases in mortality from all causes, heart disease, cancer, stroke and other conditions, in the most educated and (ii) unchanged or increasing death rates in the least educated. Epidemiologists at the American Cancer Society (ACS) worked with scientists from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) to analyze over 3.5 million deaths from 1993 to 2001. They used data from the National Vital Statistics System (NVSS) and death certificate information to calculate annual age-standardized death rates for 2...

Last week The HEADoc was trying to forge an alliance with the most delicate of cases; a teenager facing the difficult reality of the first psychotic break of Paranoid Schizophrenia. Failing to make a trusting bond with such a patient could adversely affect his future treatment outcome in many ways. This is the type of case that can truly test the psychiatrist's clinical abilities. As the patient made an effort to let down his psychological walls of defense for the first time, a ruckus was undeniably overheard coming from the front. The situation seemed to be escalating. It was a drug seeker unable to obtain his drug of choice from the local ER after claiming to have unlikely side effects from what he had been prescribed by The HEADoc the previous week.
