The challenge of doctor-patient relations in the internet age
“Let me do some research and I’ll get back to you,” my
patient said. My patient, a 19-year-old student, had already
taken time off from school because of her anxiety. I was her
psychiatrist, with over two decades of experience treating
university students, and had just explained my diagnostic
impressions based on a lengthy evaluation. I’d recommended
that she try a medicine I expected would help. I’d also laid out
the risks and benefits of other treatment options.
“Do you have additional questions I can answer?” I asked.
I wanted to let her know that’s why I was there, to cull the
research, to help make sense of it. “No, I like to go online and
look for myself,” she said.
More and more, I see students turning away from the
expertise that a live person can offer and instead turning to
the vast and somehow more objective-seeming “expertise” of
the digital world.
In an age when journalism we don’t like can be dismissed
as “fake news,” suggesting that the information we do like
is most credible, regardless of its source, it’s not hard to
understand why young people do this. The medical profession
itself, under managed care, has played a role as well, providing
less time for doctor-patient interactions and undermining the
chances that a personal relationship and trust can develop.
Under the guise of efficiency, medical test results are now
often released directly to patients, sometimes before or even
without the benefit of any interpretation.
But there’s danger in trusting data over people, as there
is in thinking the expertise of all people is equivalent. When
it comes to health, digital natives may not be learning how to
navigate effectively. And the consequences could be harmful.
The availability of health data on the internet has its
benefits. Online, for example, we can find explanations and
solutions for symptoms we might be too embarrassed, or
afraid, to discuss with another person, in person. Or, for lifethreatening diseases, we can locate clinical trials our doctors
may not be aware of.
However, there’s also a lot of misleading information, and
information that’s simply untrue. The internet is full of people
selling things – supplements, treatment regimens that have
not been rigorously tested, even prescription medications –
and making false promises that have not been scrutinized
by regulatory agencies. Sometimes, as in the case of some
websites that promote “an anorexic diet” for “aggressive”
weight loss, the information can encourage life-threatening
behavior.
Years ago, when we discussed paternalism versus patient
autonomy in my medical school ethics class, I came down
strongly in favor of autonomy. Who but the patient could best
decide what was right for him or her? But years of clinical –
and personal – experience have taught me that information
in and of itself is insufficient. Judgment is also indispensable,
especially in complex situations, and the capacity for good
judgment rests within people, not data sets.

Is it time you went on a social media detox?
In today's world, social media is central to our lives. It helps
us to stay in touch with our friends, promote our work, and
follow the latest news. How do these networks impact our
mental and physical health?
A number of studies have linked social media use with
increased levels of depression, anxiety, and isolation.
Social media lovers have twice the risk of depression,
compared with their less enthusiastic peers.
Research has revealed that younger and older users alike
are in danger of breaking under the pressure of
unachievable standards of beauty and success.
Among young adult users, social media notably increases
the incidence of anxiety and depression, according to the
results of a sizeable study conducted in 2016.
In fact, the researchers saw that users who frequently
checked their accounts had a more than twice as high a risk
of depression than their less social media-oriented peers.
This may partly be due to the fact that social networks
create an artificial need to be available 24/7, to respond to
messages and emoji reactions instantly. But this attitude
creates an unnecessary amount of low-key stress that takes
its toll on our emotional well-being.
And, despite the fact that such platforms are supposed to
enhance our sense of connectedness with other people,
research has found that they actually have the opposite
effect: they render dedicated users lonelier and more
isolated.
However, this shouldn't really surprise us. The
hyperconnectedness takes place at a superficial level,
eliminating all of the extra elements that make
communication more valuable and psychologically
constructive.
Such elements include eye contact, body language, the
possibility of listening for changes in our interlocutor's tone
of voice, or the possibility of physical touch.
An over-active social media presence can leave its mark not
just on our mental health, but also on our physical health —
particularly by altering our sleep patterns.
Lastly, researchers have proven that our commitment to
social media platforms can negatively affect our
commitment to our own creative and professional lives in
complex ways.

Can Cellular Agriculture Feed the World?
Within 20 years, there will be 2 billion more people than today — over 9 billion people in total. The impact to the environment could be severe. Just feeding that population using current methods is problematic.
On average, cattle ranchers need 100 times more land than corn growers to produce a gram of food. So, if that hungry world continues to eat meat like we do, the demand for land — and fresh water — will be alarming, not to mention the environmental impact of raising so many animals. Meat production aside, the large-scale monoculture of crops like corn usually results in damaging terrestrial pollution from pesticides and soil depletion. The impact to the oceans is equally perilous.
Instead of farming animals, fish and plants, cellular agriculture grows the proteins and nutrients we consume from a culture, cell by cell. With this alternative approach, the consumable meat and plant tissues produced don’t need to be harvested from animals or plants. It’s food production on an industrial scale.
The technology to do this is not new. Growing meat from a scaffold embedded in growth culture is no different in theory than making bread from yeast. The vast majority of insulin for diabetics is already manufactured by genetically engineered bacteria, as is the rennet used to culture cheese. In the past 10 years, this approach has been pioneered with a variety of foodstuffs: milk, eggs, beef, chicken, fish — even coffee.
To succeed, cellular agriculture must overcome 6,000 years of established dependence on traditional agriculture, and it has to do so via one of the most finicky human senses: taste. No one will eat manufactured meat or fish if it doesn’t have the same sensual satisfaction generated by the grown version. So, in addition to all the technical challenges in creating edible tissues from cultures, the startups pioneering this approach are working diligently to make their products tasty.
The possibilities for cellular agriculture are seemingly limitless; it may be possible to grow human organs for transplant using the method. But it is still early days.

date of the damage farming does to the planet.
The new research, published in the journal Science, shows
that without meat and dairy consumption, global farmland use
could be reduced by more than 75% – an area equivalent to
the US, China, European Union and Australia combined – and
still feed the world. Loss of wild areas to cattle farming is the
leading cause of the current mass extinction of wildlife.
The new analysis shows that while meat and dairy
products provide just 18% of calories and 37% of protein, they
use the vast majority – 83% – of farmland and produce 60%
of farming greenhouse gas emissions. Other recent research
shows 86% of all land mammals are now livestock or humans.
The scientists also found that even the lowest impact by meat
and dairy products may cause much more environmental
harm than the least sustainable vegetable and cereal growing.

Natural selection gave a freediving people in Southeast Asia bigger spleens
The Bajau people of Southeast Asia, known as Sea Nomads, spend their whole lives at sea, working eight-hour diving shifts with traditional equipment and short breaks to catch fish and shellfish for their families. In a study published April 19 in the journal Cell, researchers report that the extraordinary diving abilities of the Bajau may be thanks in part to their unusually large spleens. The adaptation, the researchers say, is a rare example of natural selection in modern humans -- and one that could provide medically relevant insight into how humans manage acute hypoxia.
Vocabulary: Spleens – baços
Hypoxia – hipóxia (baixa concentração de oxigênio nos tecidos)
