More on Dr. Strom - his hand written background and his speciality tends to lean towards drugs - where the stock market thrives, above all - for America will lead the world in legal drugs for viagra, abortion pills (at least providing same), oral contraceptives, and the usual garbage. Loved this bit on gastrointestinal bleeding - guess Elvis Presley had had some problems there too as if this wasn't a good example of a little self medication with drugs? If one reads between the lines we see where the interests are here.....why cows are being slaughtered in favor of a can of soy milk? When they come up with a good soy ice cream let me know. No offense Steve - but this stuff of Willow where it will be used in a new stick deodorant as in Ezekial - the day will come with baldness "instead of well set hair" and even Hollywood is so stupid they cannot see over medicating, hair sprays, and aspirin may - well may just be a leading cause of thinning of the hair in particular, when willow barks used? I do not like this Brian Strom for he is one of the experimentors on babies - we see now what Nazi Germany is all about - suffer little children, in particular those of the 55 million while the "doctors" did their jobs? Saba Here is Dr. Strom - wonder how he feels about the Chinese manufacturing the new abortion pills (used by France who now feels the multicultural life values by how many murders as of late beginning to edge into the more affluent quarters>).......so sit back, and take an aspirin, and a viagra and then find your nearest Chinese abortion pill should you be naughty like Gary Condit - for you see that pill is so deadly it is made in China where you cannot sue the hell out of them? But, at least the likes of the hero Eric Rudolph prevents them from profitteering over here.....so much for "planned parenthood:.....and the baby murderers. May they all go bald. Brian L. Strom, M.D., M.P.H. Director, Center for Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics (CCEB) Chair, Department of Biostatistics and Epidemiology Professor, Biostatistics and Epidemiology Professor, Medicine Professor, Pharmacology B.S. Yale University (Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry) M.D. The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine M.P.H. University of California, Berkeley (Epidemiology) Background Brian L. Strom, M.D., M.P.H. was appointed Founding Director of the new interdisciplinary and interdepartmental Center for Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics (CCEB) in February 1993. Previously named the Clinical Epidemiology Unit (CEU), Dr. Strom served as CEU Co-director and then Director, in the School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania for 13 years. To date, since the CEU/CCEB inception, and under Dr. Strom's leadership, the Center has grown from two faculty and five staff to 101 faculty and more than 300 staff and students. Research Dr. Strom's clinical and research training is in general internal medicine, clinical pharmacology, and epidemiology. He is board certified in Internal Medicine and Epidemiology. Internationally known for multiple areas of clinical epidemiology, Dr. Strom's major career interest is pharmacoepidemiology, and he has written the major textbook in this field, now in its Third Edition. Additionally, he has authored over 275 publications. Lecturing in all parts of the world, Dr. Strom has shared his research at more than 300 lectures, including annual meetings, world conferences, varied symposiums, committees, and universities. For more information regarding his specific research, see his most recent Biosketch. Selected Grant information [Saba Note: Grants from whom, the Feds or the Drug Peddlars and Canned Milk Companies say like Ross Labs?] As principal investigator for over 150 grants since 1981, Dr. Strom has initiated research and studies, both nationally and internationally, supported by the National Institutes of Health, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research (now the Agency for Heathcare Research and Quality), foundations, major pharmaceutical companies, and private industry. ****So is he a drug pusher for the druggies and druggors? Saba Note**** Furthermore, Dr. Strom has served as consultant to the FDA, the Centers for Disease Control, foreign governments, the majority of pharmaceutical companies, and law firms. A small sample of research grants include: Biochemical Epidemiology of Biliary Tract Cancer; Etiologic Study of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus; Risk Factors for Infective Endocarditis; Breast Cancer and the Birth Control Pill: Case-Control Study of Perimenopausal and Past Oral Contraceptive Use; TRH and the Prevention of Chronic Lung Disease; Effectiveness of Retrospective Drug Utilization Review; Postmarketing Surveillance Study of Parenteral Ketorolac; Postmarketing Surveillance Study of Oral Ketorolac; Postmarketing Surveillance Study of Naproxen Sodium; Follow-up Study of Subjects Fed Soy-Based Formula During Infancy; and Molecular Susceptibility to Hormone-Induced Cancer. He is also Principal Investigator for several Training Grants. [Note his interest in birth control pill - ever see a woman on the "pill" in the 60 period - some ended up in hospitals, some turned into a hulk that looked like they were 9 months pregnant from effects of "the pill"....] Selected Membership/Affiliations Dr. Strom's numerous and varied affiliations include elected membership into the American Society for Clinical Investigation, the Association of American Physicians, and American Epidemiologic Society. As of January, 1998, Brian Strom assumed the role of Regional Editor for the Americas for Pharmacoepidemiology and Drug Safety (PDS), the official journal of the International Society for Pharmacoepidemiology and the European Society of Pharmacovigilance.
