Blogging--It's Good for You [Scientific American Magazine]
Jeudi 22 Mai 2008 - 06:25 - 6 mois, 1 semaine depuis - 19 lectures - Cancer - Scientific American
Self-medication may be the reason the blogosphere has taken off. Scientists (and writers) have long known about the therapeutic benefits of writing about personal experiences, thoughts and feelings. But besides serving as a stress-coping mechanism, expressive writing produces many physiological benefits. Research shows that it improves memory and sleep, boosts immune cell activity and reduces viral load in AIDS patients, and even speeds healing after surgery. A study in the February issue of the Oncologist reports that cancer patients who engaged in expressive writing just before treatment felt markedly better, mentally and physically, as compared with patients who did not.Scientists now hope to explore the neurological underpinnings at play, especially considering the explosion of blogs. According to Alice Flaherty, a neuroscientist at Harvard University and Massachusetts General Hospital, the placebo theory of suffering is one window through which to view blogging. As social creatures, humans have a range of pain-related behaviors, such as complaining, which acts as a “placebo for getting satisfied,” Flaherty says. Blogging about stressful experiences might work similarly. [More]

In Focus: Turning Yellow

A personal ad seeking the perfect vaccine might read: "Must confer strong immunity, quickly, with a single dose and minimal side effects. Should offer lasting protection, preferably for a lifetime." Unfortunately, few vaccines would measure up. Many of them require multiple doses to get the immune system's attention or periodic booster shots to refresh its memory. Others may elicit a partial immune response but fail to activate T cells, the powerful search-and-destroy soldiers of the immune system.
