Grand Rounds #50: The Best of This Week’s MedBlogging

by Hsien Hsien Lei, PhD on September 6th, 2005


Dr. Joseph j7uy5 at The Corpus Callosum is hosting this week’s Grand Rounds #50: It’s GRL Time!. He links to over 30 posts related to medicine and health in addition to providing background and discussion on each and every one.

At #5 on the list is my post about the genetics of post-traumatic stress disorder, which will be of particular concern in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Dr. Joseph has also pointed out my post on infectious disease genetics as it applies to the change in ecological niches wrought by Katrina and the resulting effects on the way humans interact with animal hosts of disease.

Other posts that may be of interest to Genetics and Public Health Blog readers are:

#3 Mixed Blessings… by Henry Stern at Insureblog about genetics and genetic testing referencing results that hypothesized the existence of genes correlated with higher intelligence (and disease) in Ashkenazic Jews.

#17 GRN163L: Drug Candidate Against Lung Adenocarcinoma by Ruth Schaffer of The Biotech Weblog (who also writes for the About Weblogs Network at Asia Travel Blog).

Be sure to go by The Corpus Callosum first for Dr. Joseph’s insightful commentary on these and other posts.
