MARCO Grand Rounds for January 27, 2008

This Sunday on the Bob Currier Marco Grand Rounds we will discuss "THE SCIENCE OF ROMANCE." Your textbook and homework assignment is to read the Jan. 28, 2008 edition of TIME magazine.

For example, "women who live communally tend to synchronize their menstrual cycles. In nature this is a good idea; it is not in the community's interest for one ovulating female to monopolize the reproductive attention of too many males. Better to have all the females become fertile at once and allow the fittest potential mates to compete with one another for them." Males can sense by smell when a female is ovulating! (if he doesn't have a cold!).

Tune in, should be fun--BUT DO YOUR HOMEWORK!

"Aether" will be in the mail tomorrow (Jan 23) with the CME certificates if you qualify. Unfortunately four of our usual gang haven't paid their dues and your mailing labels did not arrive in Tampa Bay. If your dues are behind (and mine are also!) get on the ball, not behind it..as soon as the membership is updated you will receive CME certificate. Only fair.

Do your homework--good topic, good resource and enticing, enticing. Warren kd4gua.

MARCO Grand Rounds for January 13, 2008

From Warren, KD4GUA:

This Sunday we will have a double feature.

Feature #1. Is it safe to send patients home after radiation therapy? (Will they irradiate their loved ones?)

Feature #2. A new study in patients over 80 with hi bp who had their bp lowered to the conventional target range had lower survival rates than those with blood pressures at higher levels. What is your input? Should be fun....tune in 14.307 10 a.m. Eastern time.

CW net at 9:30 Eastern time.
