Porto, Portugal. New research findings provide a solid basis to explain the dynamics of producing different RNAs within an organism.

Fairfax, VA, USA. Sometimes I am sure that the whole thing is a plot by Catholic-raised Italian American women to take over the world. Madonna, Gaga, me. Something about our upbringing: too much garlic perhaps.

Too much Catholicism to work through growing up. Long lists of do’s and don’ts. Sins that will send you directly to hell. Hormones and body parts that question the church’s philosophies.

Machester, UK. If you are woman you will laugh and understand the title; if you are a man — probably not! It also neatly summarizes the problem women born transsexual face.

Human beings are categorized male or female at birth and UK Law only recognizes one or the other. Now whilst I personally feel sex should not be recorded, as it is no longer needed to estimate the number of men a King could raise for an army, that might be a rather long term objective!

Washington, DC, USA. After two decades of experimenting with managed care in Medicaid, a growing number of states are expanding its use.

Why do so many states want to put more Medicaid patients into managed care programs? What has been the states' experience with managed care so far? Here's a primer on how Medicaid managed care works and why so many states are turning to it now even as critics say they should be cautious.

Tuesday, 31 May 2011
Fairfax, VA, USA. Contrary to previous reports, higher spending levels on medical services means better overall health for Medicare participants, a conclusion drawn from analyzing data from more than 17,000 Medicare beneficiaries.

Policymakers consider limiting Medicare payments in high-cost areas to curb perceived cost overruns because previous reports suggested that Medicare spending varies greatly by geographic area, but with little to show for it.
