  • Study links mother's age to child's risk of autism

    9 Feb 2010 | 12:00 am
    Moms over 40 are nearly twice as likely to have a child with autism, according to the analysis of California births. The study finds that in most cases, the father's age plays little role. Women who give birth after age 40 are nearly twice as likely to have a child with autism as those under 25, but it is unlikely that delayed parenthood plays a big role in the current autism epidemic, California researchers reported Monday.

  • Swine flu still spreading, though at a reduced rate

    6 Feb 2010 | 12:00 am
    U.S. health officials say the number of H1N1 cases has not swelled dramatically, but the virus hasn't gone away, either, as would be expected in a normal influenza outbreak. The odds of a third wave of pandemic H1N1 influenza hitting this spring seem to be declining, but authorities are concerned that the virus is still spreading, though at a reduced rate from its peak, and is not disappearing as would be expected in a normal influenza outbreak, federal officials said Friday.

     The Center for Disease Control (CDC) (which by then controlled the Tuskegee syphilis study) reaffirmed the need to continue the study until completion (until all subjects had died and been autopsied). Considerations were limited from the start, and rapidly deteriorated. For example, to ensure that the men would show up for the possibly dangerous, painful, diagnostic and non-therapeutic spinal tap , the doctors sent the 400 patients a misleading letter titled, “Last Chance for Special Free Treatment”. The study also required all participants to undergo anautospy after…

Some would call this ego risk, but at most institutions decision making occurs primarily at only the highest levels. It has been a year since I wrote a financial essay titled Does Your Company Need a Chief Skeptical Officer? I don’t think it has gotten any better. This is not due to poor goal setting.
