Thanks to Larry Olsen and the School Health Education & Services Section
of the APHA, we will have two back to back sessions at the upcoming APHA
Conference in Washington. I hope you and your colleagues will attend, if
possible, to lend support. The sessions will be held at the Capitol
Hilton Hotel, Congressional Room, Nov. 18th, 2:15-3:45, and 4:15-5:45.
The abstract follows this message.
Also APHA will consider a "late breaker" policy proposal entitled,
"eliminating people-caused deaths." There will be a meeting on on Mon.,
Nov. 16th, 2:15-5 p.m. to consider it and other proposals. It makes
concrete recommendations concerning action as will our sessions. Again,
hope you can attend. Let me know ASAP if you wish a copy.
The abstract:
TOWARD THE ELIMINATION OF PEOPLE-CAUSED DEATHS: SECTIONS TALKING TO
EACH
OTHER: PARTS 1 & 2
People-caused deaths that are avoidable and preventable such as war,
homicide, terrorism, genocide, racism, environmental assaults, hunger,
and poverty, are seen as a high priority health problem within APHA. For
example, thermonuclear and/or chemical and biological warfare are the
greatest threats to global health unmatched throughout history. One
wonders whether more can be done within APHA to prevent such deaths
beyond sponsoring descriptive sessions, and issuing resolutions and
position papers. A systematic plan is needed that addresses motivation,
root causes and symptoms of these forms of death. One step in this
direction might be to have sections, caucuses, and interest groups
within APHA collaborate on a common agenda that would increase action to
eliminate such forms of death. The purpose of this first session is to
initiate a systematic dialogue between representatives and members of a
small number of sections and caucuses, and other participants. To start
the session, a short description of a process toward preventive action
will focus the group. It will be followed by remarks from
representatives of the Peace Caucus, Public Health Promotion & Health
Education Section, School Health & Services Section, and the Public
Health & Faith Community Caucus. The second session will be interactive
during which time panelists and the audience will respond to such
questions as, "knowing your child, other loved ones and yourself (that
is, all of us) can die any moment due to people-caused deaths, what can
your section or caucus, and its members do, independently and in
collaboration with other sections and caucuses, to reduce that
possibility?" "What recommendations can we make to the leadership of
APHA?" "What sessions, following this one, are recommended for the 1999
conference?" Interaction from the audience is vital to the success of
the session.

Dear Colleague:
We are pleased to announce that VincentWeb is now live and on-line!
VincentWeb (short for, Violence and INjury Control through Education,
Networking and Training on the world wide Web) is a free distance learning
course that offers an introduction to injury control and violence
prevention. Continuing education units are available from the UNC School of
Public Health and the Society for Public Health Education for a modest fee.
The course features materials presented during the June 1997
videoconference, "Getting Started in Injury Control and Violence
Prevention," in a web-based format that expands upon and supplements the
televised program. Contributors include Sue Mallonee, Mark Rosenberg, Carol
Runyan, Steve Teret, Janice Yuwiler, Jackie Moore, and Bob Parker.
This course is intended to help local-level practitioners begin the process
of developing an injury prevention efforts. Though it is geared primarily

Subject: ARDELL WELLNESS REPORT # 51]
** Stressed?: http://www.concord.wvnet.edu/~olpin/relax.html
** See What SPM Can Do For You: http://spm.org
This Friday, November 7, is the scheduled release date for ARDELL WELLNESS REPORT
# 51. The intro and lead article about the term wellness is provided below,
along with the table of contents. If you would like a sample copy, send a
self-addressed envelope with $.55 postage affixed to AWR, 345 Bayshore, Suite
414, Tampa, FL 33606.
The 51st Edition of the
ARDELL WELLNESS REPORT--Winter, 1998
Welcome to the 51st edition. This 51 issue landmark coincides to the day with
nothing in particular, but it's always a treat to finish one of these little
tracts and sit back, awaiting your response. So, please, do respond if so
inclined. Feedback, as Blanchard noted, not Wheaties, is the true breakfast of
champions.
And, while I'm at it, let me also offer a WELCOME TO WINTER. Have you noticed?
Sensed a change in the wind, savored the brighter colors and felt the subtle
chill in the air? Well, guess what?--it's about time for that special season we
call "autumn," which is a euphemism for "winter's almost here!" Vivaldi wrote
beautiful music about Winter (though his masterpiece celebrates the other
seasons, too), Rembrant and many of the masters painted dazzling works depicting
it and poets have artfully joined words to enthrall us with the season's delights
and possibilities. What about you--what do the quadrennial seasonal changes
prompt, suggest or encourage relative to your pursuit of increased well being and
ever more satisfaction with life? How about if we make a bit of a conscious
effort to decide that the advent of autumn and winter is another opportunity to
refocus on a commitment to excellence.
In keeping with the season, we might expect wellness-oriented composers, artists
and poets to offer us a "harvest of health ideas" for wellness seekers. And if
they don't, I will. Think of this edition in such a light.
****************
WHAT'S IN A NAME?
Is it time to give up on wellness? Not the concept, not the movement but the
name. It has always been a struggle to distinguish wellness from holistic health,
new age medicine and even traditional health education, and those of us who want
the term to mean something unique consistent with optimal functioning and
personal effectiveness seem to be losing the battle. Look at all the
hospital-based "wellness" centers--they are gyms of fitness clubs, basically. Or,
the countless medical practitioners with ads in newspapers or signs outside their
offices proclaiming "wellness therapy," or "wellness chiropractic" or other
wellness treatments. Finally, conduct your own research on any of the popular
search engines and notice all the "wellness" vitamin pill companies and other
wellness product vendors and ask yourself--shall we find another word and leave
this one to the vultures?
I dunno. What do you think? I've been mulling some alternatives. How would you
feel if the next edition of this newsletter was called THE ARDELL EPIC LIFE
REPORT? What about "lifestyle fitness?"

Subject: You can help get out the vote
This Tuesday, November 3rd, is Election Day. Congress is viewing this
election as a referendum on impeachment. We need to get as many voters to
the polls as possible. If we don't, extremists will decide the election,
and the impeachment process will likely continue for years. Fortunately,
there is something very simple that *you* can do, something that won't take
more than 5 minutes of your time.
Most companies have generous policies to help give their employees the time
to vote -- offering them extra time at lunch, the chance to leave early,
etc. However, very few employees know these policies exist. If you are an
executive or supervisor, LET YOUR EMPLOYEES KNOW ABOUT YOUR COMPANY'S
ELECTION DAY POLICIES. Use company e-mail to get the word out on MONDAY, so
your employees can plan their schedules on Tuesday. And remind them again on
Tuesday. (We've included a sample message at the bottom of this e-mail for
you to adapt as appropriate).
If you're not a manager, ask your boss or human resources manager to clarify
election day policy for you and to the rest of your company. Ask them to
post a notice on your bulletin board and to send a company-wide email, so
people can be aware. This is a non-partisan, public spirited request. It
will reflect well on you as an involved citizen. Voting is our democratic
heritage.
RUN A "PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT"
If you control a popular web site, consider placing a "Vote Today" web
banner on Tuesday. Here's an example banner you can use if you wish:
http://www.moveon.org/votetoday.htm. If you place this non-partisan "public
service announcement" in your unsold ad space for just part of the day on
Tuesday, you can really make a difference.
OTHER NEWS -- MEETINGS WITH MEMBERS OF CONGRESS
Last Thursday, thousands of volunteers across the nation responded to our
invitation to deliver the MOVE ON message to their Congressional
Representatives - in person. Volunteers delivered petitions in the majority
of congressional districts, spanning 44 states. Representatives and their
staffs were very impressed by the diversity, civility, and commitment of the
meeting attendees. It was a class act. Thank you.
Congressional Representatives and their aides were also shocked that these
groups -- so unified in purpose -- had never met each other before. For
many, it was their first glimpse of the power of the Internet as a medium
for grassroots political discourse and expression.
For a press release summarizing the day, see
http://www.moveon.org/release1029after.htm
For some highlights from the day, see http://www.moveon.org/highlights.htm
THE WORK CONTINUES
Unfortunately, this issue won't disappear after the election. Just the
opposite -- hearings will resume and the country will again be consumed by
impeachment nonsense. We are continuing to collect petition signups at
http://www.moveon.org. Tell your friends.
Sincerely,
Wes Boyd

Greetings Collegues...
I'm doing the standard search for information regarding communicable disease
in the aquatic environment. i.e. The safety at pool facilities during the
summer where the chlorine level fluxuates around the safety zone for
controling communicable disease.
I'm already looking up the information at the CDC and other standard web
site addresses. I'm looking for info that would be of interest to pool
managers, parents, etc. Data related to H.I.V., Flabitus, Hep-B, T.B., I
know of one water borne bacteria which survives upto a week in a pool with a
safe level of chlorine.
But if you should have any other pertinent information that may aid my
search, please e-mail me at mpb136@psu.edu.

** Advertising a Job? http://www.kittle.siu.edu/jobs.htm
** See What SPM Can Do For You: http://spm.org
I've always felt that one of the functions of the HEDIR is to share events,
organizations or happenings that may be of interest for health educators.
Thus, I'm sending this memo out. =20
Last week I went to the Society of Prospective Medicine's annual meeting
(in Newport, Rhode Island). It was quite a conference. Besides being able
to meet and hear Karen Denard Goldman's outstanding presentation, I was
also to listen to James Prochaska, Vic Strecher, and a host of other
individuals. The Society of Prospective Medicine is a group of
professionals dedicated to advancing research, development, implement and
evaluation of prospective medicine tools and technologies. The term
prospective means to "anticipate likely future health status". It doesn't
just mean to focus on past events/illness, but rather to look at ways to
prevent health problems and to enhance one's overall wellness. Now,
obviously, this is not new for health educators...but it was really
uplifting to see so many physicians who were trying to do the same thing.
One of the major tools that they use is the Health Risk Assessment. SPM
has a large contingency of physicians who actually use HRA with their
patients...they also realize that just using an HRA is not enough, but
education needs to take place=96they realize that they may not be the best
individual to provide such education, so they often work with health
education professionals in delivery such instruction. (I have often been
offended that the "health education positions" in health care settings are
often given to those individuals who have had no formal training in health
education). Thus, it was the first professional meeting that I've
attended that included both physicians and health educators working hand-in
hand in efforts to improve the health status of the patient, and the
community at large. This is a group who see the value in the health
educator providing health education within the confines of the medical
establishment. It was really refreshing to see the physicians in the
audience taking notes on what Karen was talking about. =20
This is my first time attending this conference, and I had the opportunity
to meet with a variety of individuals who are working on ways to not only
assess one's health but ways to improve it. If you as a health educator
would be interested in working with professionals in the health care
setting, I would encourage you to look into participating with SPM...their
web page is http://spm.org and next year's conference (end of September) is
in Colorado Springs.

Molly,
I'm glad you asked this question because we all need to better
understand this issue in order to move in the desired direction. The
concern is NOT that minority candidates avoid reading professional
journals. It is that they may not read the *Job Listing Section*!
Because of the effects of racism on individuals and society, minority
candidates often do not feel that these job-postings are really
addressed to them, and they often have concerns that their perspectives
will not be accepted or respected if they DO apply. If a position
requires relocation (often the case with nationally advertised
positions), the stakes become even higher for the applicant. By ALSO
advertising in places that address minority professional issues, a
potential employer can communicate an interest in and respect for
diverse perspectives and candidates, and open the search to some
interesting new possibilities. Hope this insight is helpful!

I almost afraid (almost, but not quite) to ask for assistance concerning
this topic after the recent discussions as to when it is appropriate
to ask for help on the HEDIR. However, I am faced with a time crunch
and thought I'd take a chance!
A new course is being developed for the new health and physical education
major (up until now it was a physical education major with a health
endorsement) in our department that deals with technology as a teaching
tool in health and physical education. In a meeting yesterday, I noticed
that the colleague who is developing this course has a suggestion for an
text that deals with the physical education portion but not one for the
health education portion. I think you can see why I think it's important
to make sure that health ed technology be also included as a text.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to such a text? Also, I have a 1991
edition of the Gold book: Microcomputer Applications in Health Education
(WCB Publishers) - has that been updated to anyone's knowledge?
If you have information to share on such a text, particularly if you use
one already and find it to be a good one, please reply to me directly.
I thank you for your help in advance. Chrys

The ASHA Health Educator Section needs the assistance of its members.
The Section is engaged in two important tasks. 1) Comment on the
Healthy People 2010 draft; & 2) Assistance in
identifying individuals willing to work on strategic planning process.
1) The Health Educator Section of ASHA asks members to submit comments
regarding the Healthy People 2010 goals. The draft document can be found
at http://web.health.gov/healthypeople/ Please forward comments to
Odessa Elder (odessa@heart.net) or Mark A. Temple (matempl@ilstu.edu or
309-438-2324) Final comments are due no later than December 15, 1998.
2) Each ASHA section/council is encouraged to review the strategic
planning benchmarks the board assigned to the committee/council... as
well as others the group feels they can contribute to and then assign
responsibilities to members of the section/council. In order to
coordinate the plans that emerge from the components of ASHA, it is
important to communicate the section's/council's intentions to the
Executive Director. In addition to their own activities,
sections/councils may choose to collaborate with other sections and/or
councils to implement the strategic plan. Deadline is November 20,

Just to second what Mark said - the synergism in the conference room at the
Society for Prospective medicine meeting was palpable as health educators
and physicians and representatives from many other disciplines listened and
talked together about the value of theory-based health promotion and
education interventions. I found them due to one of their posting on
HEDIR, and have really enjoyed interacting with them, going to their
meeting, and now, reading the Proceedings from this meeting - so relevant
to health educators.
You should also know that Mark's talk on using new technologies to obtain
and share information was wonderful. He really practiced what he was
preaching. His technical presentation, his creativity, his down to earth
delivery style, and his obvious expertise and comfort with the medium were
entertaining, educational and inspiring.
I, too, urge people to check out the Society for Prospective Medicine

Tamara (and others),
We are currently conducting two job searches and have run up against
problems with our AA office because of the lack of minority applicants.
You seem better informed than I am on this topic. Perhaps you can help
my committee along? You sound as though you have things at your

Wow! This definately flies in the face of popular belief about the lack
of difference between the races. I had no idea that this fact
existed. I would've assumed that all young scholars were the same in
terms of completing their degrees and then searching for jobs. What
does the between-group data show? (ie. are there differences on this
factor between Asians and Latinas/Latinos and Native Americans?)

This is exciting news to me! In seven years on our cultural pluralism
task force I've have never come across good controlled research that
provides evidence of this. Please send me a reference for this
research. The others have got to read up on this. If this has been
proven scientifically and is not just based on suppositions then we
certainly should changes our approach to soliciting minority
applicants.

This seems like it could be a problem for all colors of applicants but
you're implying it is especially so for minorities. What are the
differences? How should I go about proving these differences to my
administrators? Some good solid documentation would help make the case.

Sounds intriguing. Have minority hires been surveyed and given this
response?--- that they felt that the university had more respect for
them because of where and not what they advertised? I'd like to review
that survey.
>Hope this insight is helpful!
It was. If I could trouble you for those references it would be even
more so!
Thanks in advance.

REPLY: I accept that the explanation you have put forth is one held by
many academics at numerous insitutions. However, the approach feels
demeaning and patronizing to me. I'd be interested to see if there are any
data supporting the notion that "minority candidates ... may not read the
*Job Listing Section*!" of the Chronicle of professional journals or that
they read this section less often than non-minorities? or less often than
they read ads in minority journals? I suspect that the belief that
doctoral level minorities who are qualified for academic positions yet
"often do not feel that these job-postings are really addressed to them,"
is a myth.
The situation, as I see it, is that there is NOT a large pool of
qualified minority PhDs out there not reading the Chronicle ads. One
problem is that there were more minority PhDs 25 years ago than there are
today. Efforts at this kind of recruitment tend to have the effect of
moving the chairs around rather than than putting any new ones on the deck.
I further suspect that minorities are very aware that they are in
demand for academic positions. I am open to being proven wrong on this.
But frankly, if I were a minority in 1998 with a PhD from a reputable
institution, I'd be insulted by the suggestion that I might not believe
that my diverse perspective would be valued by an institution that did not
go out of its way to advertise in a minority journal. Maybe I'm overly
sensitive. But I'm wondering (and I suspect I'm not the only one) if such
ads are placed not so much to attract shy minorities, but so that
institutions can pat themselves on the back with the great job they've done
recruiting (effectiveness be damned). Over the years I have served on
numerous search committees where such advertising was mandated by the
university. Not once did any "interesting new possibilities" show up as a
result.
The bottom line is this, 1) SHOW ME THE DATA!!!! and 2) is this
recruitment effort driven by minorities who understand what it really takes
or by whites who have "guessed" at what it takes to effectively recruit
minorities?

I guess I'll jump in here and provide anecdotal data as a recent minority
graduate. While searching for jobs I searched the Chronicle on the web as
well as other web sites. As a graduate student I did not have the income to
receive minority publications or any other publications and time limited my
ability to seek these out at libraries. Admittedly the HEDIR, the Chronicle,
the NYU websites as well as sites for those universities I was interested in,
are where I seek information. They're fast and easy. Now that I am at a
University I have access to some minority publications that our department
purchases. Advertising specifically in a minority-focused publications
indicates to those in power that you have made an effort to recruit
minorities. There is nothing wrong with advertising there if you are sincere.
There is nothing more demeaning than getting an interview only to find out you
are the "token" interview to meet some requirement. And, by the way, it
doesn't take much to figure that out. If you want to recruit minority
professionals, may I suggest that you have minorities on staff involved, that
you actively use your contacts to recommend qualified persons, the APHA has
many minority subgroups, there are minority focus professional associations
for example the Society for Chicano and Native American Scientists. The Indian
Health Service, CDC and NIH all have minority recruitment initiatives.
Accessing your contacts there may lead you to qualified candidates as well.
If you are truly interested in seeking out minorities than the extra effort to
make a few phone calls rather than just placing ads, would be to your benefit.
As Molly says, there just aren't that many of us out here.

Tamara and other,
After reading some of the comments on this issue, I have no choice but to
express my opinion about it.
First, as a Hispanic Health Professional, I am offended by your perception that
we, as you called us "minorities", don't read the Professional Journals and job
listing. Few years ago when I was looking for a job, I read the job listing on
the journals (i.e., JPHA, JHE, etc), attended the career mart at APHA and
AAHPERD, and gather extra information through the HEDIR.
Secondly, your institution wants to recruit "minorities," yet; you treat us
like we are somewhat different from the rest of the professionals. Your notion
that we only read "minority" journals and that we have problem with relocation
is absurd. Let me remind you that it is this kind of attitude that has kept
racism, discrimination, prejudice, etc. alive in our society.
Yes, there are not many African Americans, Hispanics, Asians, etc. with
doctorate degree, but we are here and the number of underrepresented
professionals keeps increasing. We read the journals, publish in professional
journals, attend and present at national conferences and contribute to the
profession as much as any other professionals out there. In fact, when it come
to the profession of health education, I consider myself an equal with equal
rights and obligations to the profession as anyone else.
Thus, you have to go the extra mile to recruit GOOD candidates who happen to be
"minorities." But I suggest you find ways to do it without offending the
people you are trying to reach. THINK ABOUT IT.

Lack of minority applicants?
We know how hard is for us to get a job offer. The standard application
process used by most organizations may not be appropriate and/or
attractive for people from a racial/ethnic minority group. I know how
uncomfortable I'm with some of the questions usually asked during a job
interview.

I missed the beginning of this conversation, but it sounds like folks are
becoming defensive. Let's just deal with the idea put forth. Minorities
read a variety of professional journals. Many of the journals read contain
articles that may not be published in the APHA , Health Education, or other
Health related professional journals.
Why not put forth the best recruitment effort possible and advertise in some
of the social science and medical journals read by people of color.
I have also served on a number of search committees and I have been very
successful recruiting people of color. I also have some expertise in
Affirmave Action. I'm dumbfounded by the statement
"a lack of qualified minority candidates". That's a dangerous statement
commonly made by individuals who do not make an effort to look beyond
comfort zones to recruit people of color.
There is much more to this and the listserve is really not the place to
discuss this. I'll be glad to talk to Dr. Laflin via phone or my direct
e-mail address. I'm just concerned we are going to get into a conversation
that might reveal some attitudes and perspectives that could be damaging.
Let us all have a peaceful day.

Enclosed (below, if you wish to reread it) was a scathing attack, written
by Phyllis Schlafly on the Eagle Forum, on mandatory student fees used by
"left wing, liberal" student groups. Now, I am at least as liberal as the
majority of this listserve apears to be, but what's good for the goose
needs to be good for the gander, as well. Put the shoe on the other foot
on this issue. Obviously, not all groups that use mandatory student fees
promote liberal causes, but imagine that you are a liberal student at a
conservative university that forces you to pay $165 per semester for fees
that are used by student groups to bring in highly paid speakers from the
NRA, Christian Coalition, Focus on the Family, Eagle Forum, book banning
groups, censorship groups, and any other right wing conservative causes we
can think of. You'd want to stand up and scream, wouldn't you? Maybe
Thomas Jefferson's quote (below) that was used by the court in their
decision in Southworth vs. Grebe actually merits our attention.

Subject: Comment on College Health Objectives for 2010

CROSS POSTED TO SHS, HLTHPROM, STUDHEAL, HEDIR, GENDERNET
If any of you have a few moments to give your thoughts to the "why" and "how" question below.
Please reply by 5 pm Eastern time on Tuesday, Nov 10. This is almost your last chance to help
the ACHA Task Force on College Health Objectives for 2010 comment
on the Healthy People 2010 draft of national goals and objectives.
For a 3-minute period next Friday in Washington, DC the Task Force has the opportunity to
testify at the National Healthy People 2010 Consortium Meeting.
Why and how should college health and college students be included in the Healthy People 2010
National Health Objectives? Other comments can address the HP 2010 draft framework, goals,
objectives, focus areas, data issues and development of leading healt
h indicators.
Below you will find:
1. the web address for the HP 2010 draft,
2. text of one of the two college objectives, plus
3. three sets of thoughts Task Force members have suggested.
http://web.health.gov/healthypeople/2010Draft/index.htm
from Chapter 4 Educational and Community-Based Programs
Obj. 3. (Former 8.5) Increase to at least 12 percent the proportion of undergraduate students
attending postsecondary institutions who receive information from their college or university on
all six priority health risk behavior areas (behaviors that cau
se unintentional and intentional injuries, tobacco use, alcohol and other drug use, sexual
behaviors, dietary patterns that cause disease, and inadequate physical activity). (Baseline data: In
1995 the National College Health Risk Behavior Survey reported
that 6 percent of undergraduate students received information from their college or university on
all six topics)
The other draft objective is on binge drinking in Chapter 26, Obj. 7b.
TF Suggestions for the 3-minute presentation.
1.
I think one of the most important things we (ACHA) could do is to
have . . . a demographic qualifier for reporting where
college students are in relation to the objectives. What I mean is
that when people report on the objectives they would be able
to separate out current college students out from the other
18-24 year old types (and older if we like) when reporting their data.
2.
I think it is important to emphasize the need to specifically address the high
risk areas for college students in the objectives. The seven risk areas that
you sent us could directly influence the health education programs on our
campuses. Many times new practitioners need this type of structure to build
their programs. Additionally, the campuses would have measures of
success/failure to meet these needs with a national data base to help conduct
evaluations.
These objectives could also be the common areas of curricular/co-curricular
development on our campuses.
3.
I think that for our purposes (and the fact that we want more related
objectives) we need to establish that we are dealing with a population whose
behaviors and needs are somewhat different than those of the popultion at large.
We want to relay the message and have recognized college students as a
subculture within the larger culture, one with its own norms, values,
expectations and behaviors, therfore, its own views of health and
wellness and the way these issues are prioritized (or not).
The developmental stage that most college students are in shapes their views
and outlook on life, and promotes the here-and-now mentality that many of
them have. They are establishing autonomy and independence but often aren't
displaying behaviors that indicate the sence of responsibilty that is expected
from a mature person.
At the same time they are very creative, independent, impressionable
(as open to new things and suggestions) and resourceful,
all indicative of the exitence of a certain amount of know-how,
and potential for development of so much more.

Please reply to me directly. Three of us who can be at the consortium meeting will summarize
your comments. Thanks, Jim

Dear HEDIRS,
We are in the process of conducting a survey of our students at CSU related
to alcohol attitudes and behaviors. Our students are predominantly
non-residential, over the age of 25, and live in an urban or suburban
setting. We wish to add specific questions and demographics to the existing
survey that are specifc to this population and might help explore the
differences created by the parameters. Any suggestions would be welcome.
Thank you in advance for your help,

Hello again, (sorry about cross posting)
In this morning's national newspaper, there is a brief description about
something that I thought I might need to report to you about. I hope you
have this piece of news already, but if you do not, here it goes.
Please make a note that the study was reportedly published in the European
MOlecular Biology Organization Journal this past Monday. The study is
being directed by dos. Marja Jaattela (dots above a's) who works at the
Apoptosis lab of Cancer Research in Copenhagen, Denmark. (apoptosis refer
to cell death)
Stress protein keeps a cancer cell alive, the article begins. This Danish
research group reported that they think as to why some cancer cells stay
alive during strong chemotherapy and radiation treatment. A selected
stress protein is capable of preventing a directed cell death, they say.
Stress protein, (I have translated this from Finnish writing, so the term
may be different) heat shock
