NEJM Statement: [case studies published by NEJM are anecdotal but are "well-documented" while] anecdotes about alternative remedies (usually published in books and magazines for the public) have no such documentation and are considered sufficient in themselves as support for therapeutic claims.
NEJM Statement: Alternative medicine also distinguishes itself by an ideology that largely ignores biologic mechanisms, often disparages modern science, and relies on what are purported to be ancient practices and natural remedies.
NEJM Statement: They may contain the substances listed on the label in the amounts claimed, but they need not, and there is no one to prevent their sale if they don't.

 The Scientist :: NEJM seeking stem cell papers, Jul. 23, 2003   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
In an editorial published July 17, New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) Editor Jeffrey M. Drazen pledged to give stem cell research a prominent place in the journal's pages.
Both JAMA and NEJM have recently initiated "bench to bedside" columns aimed at the translational process, she observed.
Drazen predicts that many of the articles that may be submitted to NEJM as a result of his stem cell summons will come from foreign institutions, and he hopes that prominent reporting of other countries' taking the lead in such an important field of research will generate more pressure for lifting of stem cell restrictions.

 [No title]
As it happens, in the three years prior to that (1975- 1977), Vancouver averaged 23 homicides per year, one-eighth involving handguns, (Ref. 2) and in the seven years of the NEJM article there were 29 homicides per year, one-eigth involving handguns.
There is no measure of: the differences in the number of law enforcement officers; their aggressiveness in making arrests for gun law violations in the two jurisdictions; arrest rates for other offenses; conviction rates; actual sentences imposed for gun-related crimes, violent crimes without guns, or gun law violations; or incarceration rates.
The Centers for Disease Control, which funded the "study," editorially praised the paper, (Ref. 9) saying it "applied scientific methods to examine a focus of contention between advocates of stricter regulation of firearms, particularly handguns." There is nothing in the paper which could possibly be mistaken for "scientific methods" by a sociologists or criminologists.

 Medical Experts Dispute Findings in NEJM Study   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 2, 1996 -- Independent mental health experts question the validity of a study in the October 3 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine that examines the safety of the antidepressant Prozac(R) (fluoxetine hydrochloride) in pregnant women.
The preponderance of data from all other independent published studies that examined the use of Prozac during pregnancy contradict the NEJM conclusions that Prozac can cause minor malformations or premature births.
Among the factors acknowledged in NEJM as study limitations were other medications, tobacco and alcohol usage and age of participants and improper comparison groups.

 NEJM Editorials Rebuke Dietary Supplement Industry
BOSTON--A veritable bashing of the dietary supplement industry was delivered in the Dec. 19 issue of The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) (www.nejm.org).
The gist of the three articles was that the dietary supplement industry is not well-regulated under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA), herbal remedies may pose health risks, and good manufacturing practices (GMPs) are not in place to guarantee quality assurance.
These articles clearly show that NEJM has abdicated any sense of responsibility to conduct peer analysis on issues related to regulation.

 PNHP NEJM For Profit Hospitals
The editorial also notes that substantial prior research confirms that for-profit hospitals are 3 to11 percent more expensive and spend more on overhead and administration while hiring fewer nurses, providing less charity care, and providing patients with fewer hospital days than not-for-profit facilities.
For example, two recent studies have found death rates 6 to 7 percent lower at private non-profit hospitals and 25 percent lower at teaching hospitals than at for-profit facilities.
Copies of the editorial ("When Money is the Mission - The High Costs of Investor Owned Care," NEJM, August 5, 1999) and study ("The Association Between For-Profit Hospital Ownership and Increased Medicare Spending," NEJM, August 5, 1999) are available from PNHP at (312) 554-0382 or pnhp@aol.com.

 NEJM Studies Support Atkins Diet Claims
PHILADELPHIATwo studies out of Philadelphia, among the first to examine the health effects of a low-carb/high-protein diet for longer than 90 days, found patients on the diet lost more weight and kept it off compared to individuals on a more traditional low-fat weight-loss plan.
Published in the May 22 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) (http://content.nejm.org), the studies provide a measure of credibility for the diet popularized by the late Robert C. Atkins, M.D., and dismissed as unhealthy by many mainstream nutrition organizations.
In the first study (348:2074-81), researchers led by Frederick F. Samaha, M.D., from the Philadelphia Veterans Affairs Medical Center, assigned 132 severely obese subjects to a carbohydrate-restricted diet or a calorie- and fat-restricted diet.
