4 The Secular Circular Newsletter of the Humanist Society of Santa Barbara www.SBHumanists.org FEBRUARY 2016 February Program: William Meller, M.D.: Medical Myths Medicine, like every other human endeavor, is rife with mythmaking. We seem to be prone to creating myths; stories about ourselves, our pasts and our world that attempt to explain how we got here and how we should behave. We hear them so often that we come to believe they are true. Sometimes they are helpful and enable us to act more like our heroes, but many times they are not. Often our myths directly contradict our immediate knowledge and experience. Yet we just as often take actions based on those myths despite all evidence to the contrary. Doctors are not only the creators of myths but also the unwitting believers in unchallenged myths that guide our everyday practice of medicine. In the past few years a movement called Evidence-Based Medicine has arisen to try to combat these myths or what is known as standard practice. But believe it or not, not all physicians believe that evidence is the best basis for medicine! This talk will address many of the most common myths in medical practice today. Beliefs regarding aging, diet, weight loss, exercise, disease prevention, healing, depression and other mental states, pregnancy and even the common cold will be examined as to their origin, why we hold onto them so closely, and what the evidence is that either supports or more commonly refutes them. Be prepared, be skeptical and be healthy! William Meller, M.D., is a practicing Internist in Santa Barbara. He has taught a course in Evolutionary Medicine at UCSB for the past 20 years and has written Evolution Rx: A Practical Guide to Harnessing Our Innate Capacity for Health and Healing.

  • Overexpression of Glut4 Protein in Muscle Increases Basal and Insulin-Stimulated Whole Body Glucose Disposal in Conscious Mice
    Overexpression of Glut4 protein in muscle increases basal and insulin-stimulated whole body glucose disposal in conscious mice. J M Ren, … , J M Amatruda, G I Shulman J Clin Invest. 1995;95(1):429-432. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI117673. Research Article The effect of increased Glut4 protein expression in muscle and fat on the whole body glucose metabolism has been evaluated by the euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp technique in conscious mice. Fed and fasting plasma glucose concentrations were 172 +/- 7 and 78 +/- 7 mg/dl, respectively, in transgenic mice, and were significantly lower than that of nontransgenic littermates (208 +/- 5 mg/dl in fed; 102 +/- 5 mg/dl in fasting state). Plasma lactate concentrations were higher in transgenic mice, (6.5 +/- 0.7 mM in the fed and 5.8 +/- 1.0 mM in fasting state) compared with that of non- transgenic littermates (4.7 +/- 0.3 mM in the fed and 4.2 +/- 0.5 mM in fasting state). In the fed state, the rate of whole body glucose disposal was 70% higher in transgenic mice in the basal state, 81 and 54% higher during submaximal and maximal insulin stimulation. In the fasting state, insulin-stimulated whole body glucose disposal was also higher in the transgenic mice. Hepatic glucose production after an overnight fast was 24.8 +/- 0.7 mg/kg per min in transgenic mice, and 25.4 +/- 2.7 mg/kg per min in nontransgenic mice. Our data demonstrate that overexpression of Glut4 protein in muscle increases basal as well as insulin-stimulated whole body glucose disposal.

  • Amazon and IMDB Sued for Not Respecting Elders | Page 1
    Amazon And IMDB Sued FOr Not Respecting Elders | Page 1 Amazon And IMDB Sued FOr Not Respecting Elders By: Jack Greiner on October 19, 2011 on graydon.law Well, sort of. An actress who identifies herself as Jane Doe has sued the Internet Movie Database Web site, and its parent company, Amazon, for revealing her actual age. I’m not making that up. Here’s the actual complaint, which was filed in a federal court in Seattle. In case you haven’t used it, IMDB is a Web site that has detailed information on any movie ever made. I personally love it. I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve watched a movie on TV and wondered who the actor was in some small role, and where I’d seen him before. IMDB has all that information. But I digress. According to the complaint, Jane Doe is of Asian descent, and her given name is difficult for Americans to spell and pronounce. She has for that reason used a stage name throughout her career. She is also very careful not to provide personal information, including her true age. According to the complaint, “[i]n the entertainment industry, youth is king. If one is perceived to be “over-the-hill” i.e., approaching 40, it is nearly impossible for an up-and-coming actress, such as plaintiff, to get work.” IMDB also offers a service called IMDbPro, which offers “industry insider” information to paying customers. Ms. Doe signed up for the service and in so doing, provided her name, birth date and other personal information.

  • And Troop Beverly Hills
    ‘CHRISTMAS IN MONTANA’ Cast Bios KELLIE MARTIN (Sara) – While Kellie Martin has garnered many acting credits, she is probably still most fondly remembered for her work as Becca Thatcher in the popular ABC series “Life Goes On,” for which she received an Emmy® nomination for Best Supporting Actress. From there, Martin played the title role in the CBS drama “Christy,” as well as medical student Lucy Knight on NBC’s “ER” from 1998-2000. Martin broke ground as Army Captain Nicole Galassini on “Army Wives,” and appeared in the quirky TBS comedy “The Guest Book.” Most recently, she starred in Lifetime’s “Death of a Cheerleader.” She has starred as fan-favorite sleuth Hailey Dean in the “Hailey Dean Mysteries” franchise, which is in its ninth installment. Martin also serves as executive producer on the popular Hallmark Movies & Mysteries “Emma Fielding Mysteries” franchise. Other recent television projects include starring roles in the Hallmark Channel Original Movies “So You Said Yes,” “The Christmas Ornament,” “I Married Who?” and “Smooch;” starring roles in the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Originals “Hello, It’s Me” and “Hailey Dean Mysteries: Killer Sentence;” and guest-starring roles on ABC’s “Private Practice” and “Grey’s Anatomy,” Lifetime’s “Drop Dead Diva” and AMC’s “Mad Men.” Martin’s feature film credits include Open House, Malibu’s Most Wanted, A Goofy Movie, Matinee and Troop Beverly Hills. In 1999, Martin took on a new role as national spokesperson for the American Autoimmune Related Diseases Association (AARDA). Drawing on her family’s experience (her sister Heather passed away at age 19 from complications following a misdiagnosed case of lupus), Martin works to raise awareness of autoimmune disease as a major women’s health issue.
