[edit] A novel approach to the protein folding problem.

May 11, 2008 not sure what this means? 11-May-2008

A novel approach to the protein folding problem. Description: A novel approach to the protein folding problem. Full story:

Davis Baker and the Baker lab [3] (link is dead for some reason) have collaborated (not the right word, it came about because of the Baker lab) in the making of a computer "game" that uses the strengths of humans,with their over-all picture abilities, with the brute force of computers to try to solve the protein prediction problem.

"The rosetta game Fold It went live yesterday, and apparently 9000 people had signed up by early afternoon today. it has been very exciting to watch! the competition is getting fierce, and my son is complaining (correctly) that all my suggestions are making his score worse rather than better! we are keeping our fingers crossed about our servers ever since fold it made it onto slash dot yesterday afternoon; so far we have been able to keep running most of the time although there have been some slowdowns."

[edit] Disease Self-Management Program

May 14, 2008

This article is under development.
You are welcome to edit it. If it is ready to be published,
change the {{develop}} tag to {{ready}} for review by other editors.

Description: Disease Self-Management Program

Full story: A San Francisco based company has made available a free web-based personal health record, disease self-management tool, risk profiler, drug database and disease reference. Some of the features can be accessed using mobile phones.

The service seeks to help people who are living with chronic conditions like diabetes, obesity, hypertension or heart disease better manage their health through a self-monitoring and education.

There is also an “Ask an Expert” program where users can post their medical questions and receive answers and general advice from experts from around the globe.

However, privacy advocates have raised concerns over the privacy and security of online systems that store people's health records.
