The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences is recruiting faculty to its newly formed Division of Biomedical Informatics at the Assistant or Associate rank in the tenure track.
A free-standing division within the College of Medicine, the Division of Biomedical Informatics is building research and training programs in biomedical informatics. Additionally, it is engaged in strategic initiatives across campus including building informatics support for clinical and translational... Read Full Story
There are some great models out there for making relationships work, and the most recent ideas that I have seen are from Robert Epstein,Ph.D., who has studied arranged marriages in India, which have a 5% divorce rate, when our model based on Prince Charming, Cinderella, and the intervention of the Fairy Godmother has a 50% divorce rate in first, second, and third iterations. What do those couples do that we can do, is the question Epstein asked. It turns out that those couples in India, who... Read Full Story
Heart rate variability initially all recording devices were averaging hunch evaluate data stream trying to intend rid of any rapid hunch evaluate variability. Heart rate variability it all started in 1966 when a variation in the beat-to-beat intervals between heartbeats was noticed. Since then a steady stream of new information and value continues to become discover of heart rate variability research. In 1996, a special task obligate was formed between the US and European Physiological... Read Full Story
Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a rare neurological disorder that impairs your body's involuntary (autonomic) functions, including blood pressure, heart rate, bladder function and digestion. Formerly called Shy-Drager syndrome, the condition shares many Parkinson's disease-like symptoms, such as slowness of movement, muscle rigidity and poor balance. Multiple system atrophy is a degenerative disease that develops in adulthood, usually in the 50s, and affects more men than women. The... Read Full Story
A 2003 BBC world news report announced European researchers were developing a wheelchair that can be steered by brainpower. U.S. researchers announced in 2005 that they had discovered a way to grow new bone. These miracles of science and others in the world of medicine are made possible by the study of biomedical engineering .

The ability of the human organism to withstand physical strain is one of the most important characteristics of health. We can easily distinguish a person who is able to run 10 miles from an individual that can’t even walk 100 yards without a break. The difference between them is in their physical fitness. But what is “physical fitness”? According to physiology it is first of all the ability of the cardio vascular system to provide the function of the organism in the state of heightened...

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the most widespread pulmonary health conditions following after asthma. COPD is a common disease for populations living in industrial regions caused by the following factors: first- and second-hand smoking, air pollution and stress. The direct and indirect costs of COPD to the society are staggering. For example, in 2002 in the USA alone total losses caused by COPD were over $30 billion dollars. There is no cure for COPD and it leads to... Read Full Story
