Are there any epidemiology students or professors on Yahoo Answers? Article that  has gotten no press.?

Actually, I'm an epidemiologist, and i have read papers concerned the links between paternal age and rates of autism. then again, correlation doesn't equal causation, and golly, it seems everything's being blamed for autism these days.\n\nanyway, if a BMJ article can surface in the US and get read by me, then I'm sure it's not lacking for attention. Andy es, i have seen Yahho!News postings about advanced paternal age and its association with various health outcomes.\n\ndid you want me to post a blurb from it? i have access to BMJ from this terminal.

I recently did a very interesting research project on ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION for Biology 30.\nIt is quite a relevant topic and sure to be an interesting one to talk about. It can't help but grab people's attention. Hey it grabbed yours didn't it?

I thought this was an amazing article. It was just published a few days ago:\n\nWASHINGTON - Twenty-five years after the first AIDS cases emerged, scientists have confirmed that the HIV virus plaguing humans really did originate in wild chimpanzees, in a corner of Cameroon.\n\nSolving the mystery of HIV’s ancestry was dirty work. Scientists employed trackers to plunge through dense jungle and collect the fresh feces of wild apes — more than 1,300 samples in all.\n\nBefore that, it took seven years of research just to develop the testing methods to genetically trace the primate version of the virus in living wild chimps without hurting the endangered species.\n\nUntil now, “no one was able to look. No one had the tools,” said Dr. Beatrice Hahn of the University of Alabama at Birmingham. She led the team of international researchers that reported the success in Friday’s edition of the journal Science.\n\n“We’re 25 years into this pandemic,” Hahn said. “We don’t have a cure. We don’t have a vaccine. But we know where it came from. At least we can make a check mark on one of those.”\n\nScientists long have known that nonhuman primates carry their own version of the AIDS virus, called SIV or simian immunodeficiency virus. But with one exception, it had been found only in captive chimpanzees, particularly a subspecies that in the wild populates mostly West Africa.\n\nIt was not known how prevalent the virus was in chimps in the wild, or how genetically or geographically diverse it was, complicating efforts to pin down the jump from animal to man.\n\nHahn’s team tested chimp feces for SIV antibodies, finding them in a subspecies called Pan troglodytes troglodytes in southern Cameroon.\n\nChimps tend to form geographically distinct communities. By genetically analyzing the feces, researchers could trace individual infected chimps. The team found some chimp communities with infection rates as high as 35 percent, while others had no infection at all.\n\nEvery single infected chimp had a common base genetic pattern that indicated a common ancestor, Hahn said.\n\nThere are three types of HIV-1, the strain of the human virus responsible for most of the worldwide epidemic. Genetic analysis let Hahn identify chimp communities near Cameroon’s Sanaga River whose viral strains are most closely related to the most common of those HIV-1 subtypes.\n\n“The genetic similarity was striking,” Hahn said.\n\nThe first human known to be infected with HIV was a man from Kinshasa in the nearby country of Congo who had his blood stored in 1959 as part of a medical study, decades before scientists knew the AIDS virus existed.\n\nPresumably, someone in rural Cameroon was bitten by a chimp or was cut while butchering one and became infected with the ape virus. That person passed it to someone else.\n\nThe Sanaga River long has been a commercial waterway, for transporting hardwood, ivory and other items to more urban areas. Eventually, someone infected made it to Kinshasa.\n\n“How many different transmission events occurred between that initial hunter and this virus making it to Kinshasa, I don’t know. It could have been one, it could have been 10, it could have been 100,” Hahn said. “Eventually, it ended up in an urban area, and that’s where it really got going.”\n\nSomewhere in all that spread, the virus became more deadly to people than it is to chimps, who seldom are bothered much by SIV.\n\nThe research seems to settle any question of HIV’s origin, said Dr. Anthony Fauci, the National Institutes of Health’s AIDS chief.\n\nWhen tracing a virus’ evolution, “it’s important to get as close to the source as you can,” he said. “It’s of historic interest.”

As a university student, I can tell you that at least professors in general will look down on using that as a source of academic info, although some secondary educators may differ on this point. The problem with it is that anyone can submit an article and be published. It is not peer-reviewed either, so the info may not be completely accurate or up-to-date. For a good source of info regarding encyclopedias, consult one that features articles written by experts in their respective fields, those who have solid credentials like PhDs, MDs, etc. Remember that, individually, opinions will vary from teacher to teacher about this topic, though.

Try looking on sirs.com ....\n\n http://sks.sirs.com/cgi-bin/hst-portal-res?id=SMO0381-0-3087\n\nsirs has tons of newspaper arcticles and stuff on it and it really helped me with my research paper when i had to do mine in the spring.

There was a great article in the most recent issue of Time Magazine. There are doctors who specialize in it interviewed in the magazine that you can contact.

I'm a little concerned that anyone who types like that has made it to an Advanced Communication Skills course...\n\nIn addition, I'm sure you realize that most professors want you to use actual studies where the information has been confirmed in your papers.  You can't confirm that information gathered from an online post-board holds any real validity.  Try using JSTOR for journal articles about prostitution.

actually, the one out of every 500,000 is just short hand for we don't have enough cases to figure out what the real statistics is for this disease. This fact was actually brought up in an class on evolution I had the other week, but yeah, don't rely on the one out 500,000 or 1 out 200,000 statistics, it's just some guestimate that sounds better then we don't know.

they have a website...or are you looking to buy one? try trying in the name of the bacterium into a search engine. most college's have at least one.

I looked it up on Yahoo and found nothing.  In addition, I'm a well-read med student and I've never heard of it.  Are you sure you have the name straight?

Have you tried www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003275.htm?

Hello...you didn't include information about where you are located so I can't include any information about specific places to go but I can give you some very good generic info.  Go to your nearest university medical library.  Almost all of them have one and inside you will find a journal section, usually online, that can point you towards excellent articles and papers on the subject.

Can't find the actual article, but you can email Bruck himself and ask if he can send to you ... bruckd@wlu.edu

They are really quality answers. Very well written, to the point and informative. However, just some things you might want to keep in mind... answers like the hypothesis one or red pony were i think answered in a way best suited to Yahoo Answers. But for example you included one of your papers along with the professor's name, course number, etc. etc.... i would not want to include an entire paper of mine in which i had put in so much time and effort, on a site like this. other's might plagiarize even without meaning to do so, and it is best to give them pointers or general comments rather than sharing your entire work. But that's just my opinion, you may feel comfortable sharing it. If I were you, i would keep some of my really good ideas to myself rather than divulging everything... because in the world of academics, original ideas count.

What article?  Did you forget to post a link?
