    15 May 2012 | 11:09 pm
    Estimation of the covariance matrix and its inverse, the precision matrix, in high-dimensional situations is of great interest in many applications. In this paper, we focus on the estimation of a class of sparse precision matrices which are assumed to be approximately inversely closed for the case that the dimensionality $p$ can be much larger than the sample size $n$, which is fundamentally different from the classical case that $p < n$. Different in nature from state-of-the-art methods that are based on penalized likelihood maximization or constrained error minimization, based on the…

  • Ganglioside GD2 identifies breast cancer stem cells and promotes tumorigenesis

    15 May 2012 | 7:20 pm
    Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are a small subpopulation of cancer cells that have increased resistance to conventional therapies and are capable of establishing metastasis. However, only a few biomarkers of CSCs have been identified. Here, we report that ganglioside GD2 (a glycosphingolipid) identifies a small fraction of cells in human breast cancer cell lines and patient samples that are capable of forming mammospheres and initiating tumors with as few as 10 GD2+ cells. In addition, the majority of GD2+ cells are also CD44hiCD24lo, the previously established CSC-associated cell surface…

     One of the on-line groups I belong to is buzzing with indignation about an article, “Living Life In My Own Way—And Dying That Way As Well," by Amy Berman in HealthAffairs.  In the article, Berman describes her decision to skip chemotherapy, radiation and/or surgery as treatments for her Stage IV inflammatory breast cancer (IBC). No one in my group quibbles with Berman’s right to forego aggressive...

  • MRI's as Part of Your Cancer Follow-up

    Phyllis Johnson

    Maybe part of your diagnostic process was a breast MRI, but why would your doctor be ordering another MRI now after your diagnosis or even years after your treatment?    Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a tool your doctor can use to see if your cancer has spread to other parts of your body.  It uses radio waves and a strong magnetic field rather than x-rays to show internal organs and tissues.  MRI allows evaluation of...

    It may not be “Pinktober” yet, but this is the season when some big efforts against breast cancer get underway. In major cities all over the nation, people are preparing to walk the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure and the American Cancer Society is registering people for their relays. What are being overlooked are the smaller, more local efforts that support the effort to raise awareness and fund a cure. One that especially piqued my interest was the Wayne State Warriors softball team’s Strike Out Cancer. The Wayne State girls’ softball team is truly a team of warriors. I took the…

  • Healing Our Lives After Breast Cancer

    How do we become whole again after battling breast cancer? It really isn’t enough just to have the scars fade and our hair grow back. Healing physically and psychologically after breast cancer takes time. Being whole is a feeling of comfort and security and it involves more than healing. It involves all dimensions of ourselves — physical, psychological and even socio-cultural. The third facet of necessary healing is to our social selves and our cultural values and roles. Even if we don’t see ourselves that way, others might. We are no longer the caregiver; now we require care. We are no…

    So much for small victories. Health care reform through the Affordable Care Act didn’t come easy. I don’t even think it was the best that our lawmakers could do to provide health insurance coverage to millions of uninsured Americans. It is what we ended up with, however, when Congress finally voted on much needed provisions for Americans being denied access to health care because of cost. Now in an ironic twist, American health care access is being decided on by the Supreme Court — a small panel of judges that not one American had the privilege of voting for. Health care has…

  • Wash Your Hands to Stay Healthy During Chemotherapy

    admin
    15 Mar 2012 | 12:27 pm
    I was talking to someone recently who is undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer. She was alarmed at her increased risk for infection and illness because of the effect of the chemo drugs on her blood cells. One of the more serious complications of chemotherapy treatment is a reduction in the number of white blood cells, which leaves you more vulnerable to infection. More specifically, chemo can lower the number of neutrophils, a type of white blood cell that fights infection. The resulting condition is known as neutropenia; you can ask your oncologist about this. Your blood cell levels…

    I was 45 years old;  divorced with two children, when I re-married a man who wasn’t Jewish.  My father refused to come to the wedding— and shut me out of his life. Though we were not raised to be strictly observant Jews, he had been raised Orthodox; I knew that Orthodox Jews don’t accept inter–marriage; they even mourn for someone like me who marries out of the religion.  Still I never thought it could happen to me. I never signed up for this….that’s for sure. He was my only parent since my mother died at 41.   I admired and adored him; this experience ripped a…

    His birthday is this week; and we were planning an event to celebrate him. Our daughter Alli said she imagined it as a surprise party —and wanted to make sure that he would love everything about it. A couple months have gone by; memories of his pain and suffering have  faded.   Still it can be a challenge to celebrate a life that’s ended—-especially when he asked only that any memorial to him be  ”smiles and laughs”.  So we called it  ”Leave ‘em laughing”  and we wanted it to be fun.

We spent the whole time laughing—a sign of what was to come.  It was a whirlwind romance,  the kind you see in movies, the kind you read about—ours was in Liz Smith’s syndicated column when thanks to Mel, we got married 3 months after we met.

Somehow this was going to turn into Anthropologie’s celebration of Earth Day, a window display of ocean life.

It was a joyful experience. Pam was their first model and the face of ArtBra 2011. This year’s event on May 4 was dedicated to Pam, who died on April 9.

(When I was a mental health worker in the 1980s, DSM-III was being used.) DSM-5 has been in the news recently because of the way it plans to reclassify grief.  Previous versions of the manual have excluded grief as a depressive condition. Meaning if you went to your…

    Families devastated by breast cancer strike to the mother; even worst if the mother is single mother. The question we have in mind: Isn't there any way to avoid breast cancer? Is there good food for cancer? Is there bad food for cancer? The answer is "yes, there is good food for cancer and there is bad food for cancer". Medical experts usually encourage women to early-detect the illness, as quick finding is going to increase the opportunity of making it through breast cancer. This is the good side of breast cancer facts we can learn up to now.
