    Helping doctors find the right diagnosis

    Getting to the right diagnosis is not an easy process. There are thousands of diseases to choose from – too much for any human being to hold in his or her head. Support is being sought from computers, but computers are only as smart as the people whose knowledge is captured in the programming. Jim Hitchin from SpectraScience shares with Joyce the benefits that his WavSTATR Optical Biopsy System and LUMAR Cervical Imaging Systems are bringing to the doctor’s arsenal of tools to determine whether tissues are normal, pre-cancerous, or cancerous.

    Comparative Effectiveness in Medicine

    There is a great deal of talk in the press about Comparative Effectiveness Research -- both pro and con. On one end of the spectrum people fear that the government will mandate the cheapest possible treatment. On the other, physicians are worried that they and their patients are being swayed by the marketing hype generated by pharmaceutical companies while there is little evidence to prove that a new expensive treatment is significantly better than a tried-and-true modestly priced treatment. Tony Coelho, chairman of the Partnership to Improve Patient Care, visits with Joyce to talk about the issues surrounding this new initiative. Note: Daddyteller session moved to Friday 1/15

    Does this Stress Make me Look Fat?

    Worried about the holiday weight-gain? While holiday party buffets don't help, it's actually the big S -- stress -- that's to blame for most of our weight woes. Feeling overwhelmed causes many unhealthy habits. Under stress, we tend to sleep less and reach for more sugar, caffeine and comfort foods. Debi Silbert talks with Joyce about how to get out of this negative spiral, stress less and smile more. A nutrition expert, personal trainer, and whole health coach, Debi will explain what to do if your schedule (and pants) are bursting at the seams!

    Spices to stall breast cancer?

    A new study from the University of Michigan looked at compounds derived from the spices turmeric and black pepper. Researchers found that they can stop the growth of stem cells that give rise to breast cancer. At the same time, the compounds had little effect on the normal breast cells. The researchers suggest this could be a potentially less-toxic option for preventing breast cancer in women at high risk. Joyce speaks with Dr. Madhuri Kakarala, M.D., Ph.D., R.D., clinical lecturer in internal medicine at the U-M Medical School and a research investigator at the VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System.
