	Le Magazine, January 2001 - As We See It: Inflammation And Heart Disease
		The New England Journal of Medicine recently published three articles showing that the presence of blood indicators of inflammation are strong predictive factors for determining who will develop coronary artery disease and suffer cardiac-related death.
		The New England Journal of Medicine studies showed that those with high levels of fibrinogen were more than twice as likely to die of a heart attack.
		In The New England Journal of Medicine study, those with troponin T levels in the intermediate range were seven times more likely to die over a 37-month period, while cardiac patients with troponin T levels above the intermediate range were almost 13 times as likely to die over a 37-month period.

	Michael Janson, M.D.: Articles; Response to the New England Journal of Medicine
		The New England Journal of Medicine articles and editorial on complementary and alternative medicine (September 17, 1998), reveal a bias and a misunderstanding of both conventional and complementary medicine, especially the use of dietary supplements and the role of the FDA in regulating their safety.
		Some reliable estimates suggest that as much as 85 percent of medicine as it is actually practiced is not based on adequate science.
		David Eisenberg's alternative medicine article in the New England Journal of Medicine a few years ago pointed out that it is the highly educated who seek out alternative treatments.

	Wesley J. Smith on Cloning & New England Journal of Medicine on NRO
		With this editorial pronouncement, the New England Journal of Medicine effectively ceased to be an objective scientific/medical journal — at least on the issue of human cloning and embryonic stem-cell research.
		It is hard to believe that the editor-in-chief of one of the world's most prestigious medical journals would write that an "embryonic stem cell" could be used to create a "genetically identical person," a reference to the birth of a cloned baby.
		In doing so, they have undermined their own reputation for probity, credibility, and scientific objectivity — the very qualities the editors have tried to appeal to as they strive to defeat what they claim is an ignorant drive to outlaw SCNT human cloning.

	Dermatitis From Rubber Gloves - New England Journal of Medicine January 26, 1933
		New England Journal of Medicine, January 26, 1933.
		By John G. Downing, M..D. In these days of aseptic surgery, the use of rubber gloves is so essential that the utmost care in their manufacture is necessary, for any disturbance in the skin of a surgeon prevents him from scrubbing and, therefore, lessens his chances of having thorough asepsis.
		Two weeks ago he was again given a pair of chocolate-colored gloves, and several days later his hands began to itch and burn and he had a recurrence of the condition from which he had suffered in August.

	Medical Journal Eases Conflict Rules: New England Journal of Medicine Relaxes Conflict-of-Interest Rules
		The distinguished New England Journal of Medicine is relaxing its strict conflict-of-interest rules for authors of certain articles because it cannot find enough experts without financial ties to drug companies.
		Since 1990, the journal's rule was that nobody who wrote a review article or editorial could have any financial interest in a company that made a product discussed in the article, or in any competitor of such a product.
		In 2000, the New England Journal of Medicine acknowledged that it had violated its conflict-of-interest policy 19 times over the previous three years when choosing doctors to review new drug treatments.

		That alternative medicine is of increasing relevance to orthodox medicine is illustrated by the finding that almost two-thirds of United States medical schools have courses on alternative or complementary medicine.
		Compared to the substantial regulation and surveillance of orthodox medicine, the relative lack of regulation for alternative medicine may suggest that it is without adverse effects.
		That this is not the case was most recently illustrated by reports in the New England Journal of Medicine on the direct, indirect and potential harm from alternative medicines, summarised in an accompanying editorial.

		An editorial and study in today's New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) concludes that for-profit hospitals are more expensive than not-for-profit facilities.
		The editorial also notes that substantial prior research confirms that for-profit hospitals are 3 to 11 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.

		February 28, 2002, Basel: A study published today in The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) demonstrates that the Novartis drug zoledronic acid, a new intravenous bisphosphonate, significantly increases bone density in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis.
		This is the first time that a bisphosphonate, given at intervals of up to one year between doses, produces sustained suppression of bone turnover and an increase in bone mineral density in the spine and hip as great as that seen with oral daily dosing of other bisphosphonates.
