Not all dietary fiber is created equal: cereal fiber but not fruit or vegetable fibers are linked with lower inflammation: Cereal fiber is associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease
Researchers at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health and colleagues evaluated whether dietary fiber intake was associated with a decrease in inflammation in older adults and if fiber was inversely related to cardiovascular disease. The results showed that total fiber, and more specifically cereal fiber but not fruit or vegetable fiber, was consistently associated […]

Opinion | Nursing Homes Have More Than Just a COVID Problem
For more than a year, my colleagues and I have been publishing a monthly COVID-19 Nursing Home Dashboard tracking the impact of COVID-19 on nursing home residents and staff. That’s 14 months assembling data on how many nursing homes are understaffed or don’t have enough personal protective equipment (PPE), 14 months documenting the rates of […]
Physicists discover novel quantum effect in bilayer graphene
Theorists at The University of Texas at Dallas, along with colleagues in Germany, have for the first time observed a rare phenomenon called the quantum anomalous Hall effect in a very simple material. Previous experiments have detected it only in complex or delicate materials. Dr. Fan Zhang, associate professor of physics in the School of […]
What to Do When It’s Time to Let Go … of the Specialist
So, how do we get our colleagues to let go, to stop taking care of our patients? Seems like a funny thing to ask. Don’t get me wrong, we need our specialist colleagues; we value the care they provide and their expertise and assistance. We in primary care would probably be pretty much lost without […]
