PULSE IS BORN! Have you noticed how empty our faculty is? Well, the students might be there but what are they doing? Is the school of medicine all about courses, exams and “le3eb wara2” in the cafeteria?? A group of students gathered to change this situation and bring life to the faculty that teaches all about life. A lot of potential, a need for expression, and a brainstorm of ideas is all it took to establish MEDCLUB. What is MEDCLUB? It is an academic club that joins students of all years. Aimed at publishing articles, organizing extracurricular activities, establishing contact with other faculties of medicine, and hopefully organizing lectures and providing guidance for pursuing education in specialty medicine. It is true that we have a very busy schedule, and a congested lifestyle. But still it is not impossible to find the time to reduce the stress whether in sports, leisure or academic activities.

MEDCLUB needed a heart to pump our ideas, it needed lungs to breath our hopes and ambitions. Initially we were reluctant to take our project a step further. It needed time and resources we might not have. But all of that faded in the face of a relentless drive and a lot of motivation. Hence PULSE was born, a magazine that offers the ability of expression to students to communicate thoughts and opinions. This is the start, humble and slow in front of expectations and ambitions. Still it is destined to make a difference. So lets make the difference, lets enrich our journey in the faculty of medicine.

Every one counts.

medical researchers anticipate being able to use technologies derived from stem cell research to treat a wider variety of diseases including cancer, Parkinson's disease, spinal cord injuries, and muscle damage. The ethical debate: Human embryonic stem cell research is controversial because, with the present state of technology, starting a stem cell line requires the destruction of a human embryo. So it is not the entire field of stem cell research, but the specific field of human embryonic stem cell research that is at the center of an ethical debate. In the political field: the debate took place mostly in the United states where in 1993 president Bill Clinton gave complete authority to fund human

Stem Cells: A debate between Science, Ethics & Politics A Stem cell possesses two properties: Self-renewal - the ability to go through numerous cycles of cell division while maintaining the undifferentiated state and Potency - the capacity to differentiate into specialized cell types. The two broad types of mammalian stem cells are: embryonic stem cells that are found in blastocysts, and adult stem cells that are found in adult tissues. In the medical field: Medical researchers believe that stem cell therapy has the potential to dramatically change the treatment of human disease. A number of adult stem cell therapies already exist, particularly bone marrow transplants that are used to treat leukemia. In the future,

embryo stem cell research for the first time. Several years later, president George W.Bush signs an executive order which restricts federally -funded stem cell research on embryonic stem cells but he supported federal funding for research on adult and animal stem cells. Despite this fact, Human embryonic stem cell research continues but with non governmental financial sources.

La Recherche Médicale : Le Vrai et le Faux ! L’expression « Recherche Médicale » est une expression pleine d’ambiguïté dans la mesure où elle combine de nombreuses activités, depuis la recherche biologique et génétique la plus fine jusqu’aux approches épidémiologiques en passant par la recherche pharmacologique et thérapeutique, sans parler de la recherche en psychologie, .... Ce vaste champ d’étude repose sur un certain nombre de dogmes progressivement mis en doute par le progrès général des connaissances. De plus ce secteur de la recherche est soumis aux « appétits » divers de ceux qui se partagent les retombées économiques considérables des systèmes de santé. Pour être honnête, on doit souligner la faible incidence de toutes ces avancées sur les conditions de la vie humaine. Ainsi, l’espérance de vie n’a réellement progressé que dans les premières années de la vie, et surtout grâce à des mesures d’hygiène et de protection de la mère et de l’enfant. À l’inverse, ces progrès ont bien peu d’effet sur les fins de vie avec leur cortège de maladies chroniques dégénératives et invalidantes à évolution irréversible et le plus souvent mortelles (cancers, Alzheimer, accidents vasculaires divers ...). Il est sans doute nécessaire de définir une approche innovante des orientations de la recherche médicale de demain. II est évident que les travaux des scientifiques aient contribué à la transformation radicale de la vie de l'homme. Mais un grand nombre de résultats de leurs recherches sont tombés entre les mains de détenteurs du pouvoir politique moralement aveugles. Certains scientifiques s'avilissent au point de contribuer, en toute obéissance, à perfectionner les moyens qui

permettront la destruction de l'humanité. Le temps serait-il passé où la liberté intérieure du savant, l'indépendance de sa pensée et de son oeuvre faisait de lui le guide des hommes ? En aspirant trop exclusivement à la gloire, n'a-t-il pas oublié sa dignité et sa responsabilité ! Ma philosophie en recherche Faire des expériences, bâtir des théories … Par quelle nécessité des hommes mettent-ils tant de passion à vouloir éternellement explorer le monde ? A cette question, ceux qui aiment la science répondent : par curiosité, par désir de s'approprier la nature, d'améliorer le sort de l'homme. Ceux qui n'aiment pas la science disent : par ambition, par volonté de puissance, amour de la gloire ou même cupidité. Mais ce n'est pas tout. Il y a des facteurs plus profonds. Il y a la tentative de comprendre un monde qui se dérobe. La révolte contre une réalité qui vous échappe, qui vous ignore et sans laquelle il n'y a pas de vie. Une exigence métaphysique de cohérence et d'unité, dans un univers qu'on cherche à posséder mais qu'on ne parvient pas même à saisir. Là se manifeste dans toute son ampleur l'acharnement de l'aventure humaine.

idées préétablis pour arriver à innover. C’est souvent par hasard que l’on trouve, mais par le raisonnement on le justifie. Pour trouver il faut savoir relier des phénomènes qui à prime abord ne semblent pas liés. Un résultat attendu n’est pas stimulant, par contre lorsqu’on arrive à ce qui n’était pas prévu c’est le début de la découverte. Contrairement à ce que l’on croit souvent, l’important dans la science, c’est autant l’esprit qui sous-tend la démarche que le produit obtenu au terme. C’est autant l’ouverture à l’inédit, la rigueur de la critique, la soumission à l’imprévu que le résultat lui-même. Les scientifiques ont renoncé depuis longtemps à l’idée d’une vérité qui serait l’image exacte d’une réalité qui attendrait simplement d’être dévoilée. Ils savent qu’il leur faut se contenter de résultats partiels ou provisoires. Ils savent que souvent on n’a pas cherché ce que l’on trouve et qu’on ne trouve pas ce que l’on cherche. Ils savent qu’à chaque instant une voie nouvelle apparaît, qu’il faut savoir explorer d’où la nécessité d’une grande culture générale Enfin, la science n’est pas et ne sera pas un livre achevé, tout progrès n’est qu’une ouverture à de nouvelles questions. "Le savant n'est pas l'homme qui fournit les vraies réponses, c'est celui qui pose les vraies questions." Ainsi, "Notre étonnement restera le même, seul grandit en nous le courage de comprendre l’étonnant. "

La recherche n’est pas un métier, mais plutôt un art. Trouver une solution à un problème non encore résolu est un art. Ceci exige de l’excellence, de la créativité et de l’endurance pour aller au bout du chemin malgré les R. Chahine difficultés et les embûches Professeur de physiologie rencontrées. Il nous faut afficher notre ignorance face aux buts ultimes de la recherche afin de pouvoir accepter un résultat même s’il s’avère contradictoire aux dogmes connus. Le chercheur devrait être un libre penseur oeuvrant en marge des sentiers connus. Mais, avoir l'esprit ouvert n'est pas l'avoir béant à toutes les sottises. Il devrait être en quelque sorte « anarchiste » par rapport aux

Moments , instants that pass quickly. A brief second ago a moment passed, crushed, moved, and was left and forgotten.

These moments are not forgotten. They take more time than years may bear than lives may support

But a moment, an instant, can change everything, create waves, move mountains, and shake existences.

And the instants And the seconds go . But moments stay, Live, Give, Carve into stones And let the dreams do the rest. E.Mikhael

MICHAEL E. DEBAKEY, M.D. Michael Ellis DeBakey born Michel Dabaghi on September 7, 1908 is a p i o n e e r i n g cardiovascular surgeon and researcher. Dr. DeBakey's parents were Lebanese immigrants. He received his bachelor's and M.D. degrees from Tulane Pioneer, innovator, miracle University in New maker & Lebanese Orleans. He volunteered for military service during World War II, becoming the Director of the Surgical Consultants' Division in the United States Army Surgeon General's Office. This prolific humanitarian has performed more than 60,000 cardiovascular procedures and has trained thousands of surgeons who practice through the world. He has operated on heads of state, princes and celebrities, as well as paupers, with the same exacting surgical technique and compassion to all. He is credited with inventing and perfecting scores of medical devices, techniques and procedures which have led to

healthy hearts and productive lives for millions throughout the world. Dacron arteries, arterial bypass operations, artificial hearts, heart pumps and heart transplants are common procedures in today's medicine, thanks to Dr. DeBakey. To the amazement of his colleagues and patients, Dr. DeBakey continued to practice medicine into an age well after most others have retired. On December 31, 2005, at age 97, Dr. DeBakey suffered an aortic dissection, the very condition that his pioneering procedure was designed to treat. He became the oldest patient ever to undergo the surgery for which he was responsible. After an operation lasted seven hours, Dr. DeBakey was released in September 2006 and has returned to good health. Dr. DeBakey has received numerous honorary degrees from prestigious colleges and universities as well as innumerable awards from educational institutions, professional and civic organizations, and governments worldwide. With his keen intellect, professional ingenuity, personal integrity and selfless devotion to humanity, Dr. Michel Dabaghi is a living legend and a genuine healer of the human heart.

Does Smoking Help Stress? Nicotine is a stimulant and acts as a 'pick-me-up'. It releases chemicals in your b r a i n , c a l l e d neurotransmitters, and it's thought that these improve your mood and make you feel better. Many people think that smoking cigarettes helps to calm them down. However, these feelings usually only last for a short period of time because withdrawal from nicotine gradually makes you feel worse and your good mood is only restored when the strong desire is satisfied with another cigarette. Smoking increases stress levels due to the constant need to top up nicotine levels. The problems with using smoking to cope with stress include:

-Relief is only temporary: Stress will return and you'll soon need to smoke another cigarette. -Smoking does not solve your problems: it only hides them. The cause of the problem remains. -Smoking actually causes more stress than it relieves: scientific studies show that after giving up, stress levels decrease. Your anxiety may be increased if you're worrying about trying to give up smoking. You may feel irritable and stressed when you quit smoking, but it's important to remember that this is a sign that your body is repairing itself from the effects of nicotine. If smoking was your main way of coping with stress, after quitting you'll need to

find new, better ways of stress relief. Exercise, reading and relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing exercises, are good alternatives and will help you to take your mind off a stressful situation and improve your mood.

SO SMOKERS START THINKING E.Fares

Psychological distinctions between men and women - Men are builders and creators. They take risks and experiment, while women select the most valuable knowledge and pass it over to the next generation. - Men are more independent in their thoughts and actions, while women are more willing to follow the ideas suggested by others. - Women’s selfappraisal is lower than that of men. Women tend to criticize themselves, while men are more satisfied with their own performance. - Men and women Special points of have different interest: sources of satisfaction. For men • it’s career and prosperity, while women value family and kids. - Men have a pronounced need to fulfill their goals, and women rank relationships with others first. - Men get sick twice as often as women, although women tend to be more concerned about their health. - Women tolerate pain and monotonous work better than men.

Plastic Surgery, The FAC TS... As cosmetic surgery becomes more accessible to all, people no longer have to accept nature's imperfections. In fact, According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons website, the number of breast augmentations increased 657% from 1992-2003. It also said that five times as many liposuctions were performed from 1992-2003. The site also stated, "Over 12 years, from 19922003, the number of cosmetic plastic surgery procedures has increased 424 percent." The numbers are still continually increasing not only in the U.S.A but also worldwide including Lebanon. What is plastic surgery? Plastic surgery goes back to the 8th century BC! It has tremendously evolved throughout years. Nowadays, It is divided to reconstructive and cosmetic plastic surgery. 1-Reconstructive Plastic Surgery is performed to correct functional impairments caused by burns, traumatic injuries (facial bone fractures), congenital abnormalities, developmental abnormalities, infection or disease and removal of cancers or tumors (mastectomy). 2- The term "cosmetic surgery" however, refers to surgery that is designed to improve appearance: abdominoplasty, Asian blepharoplasty, mammoplasty, buttock augmen tation, rhinop lasty, otop la sty,

liposuction, chin augmentation, designer vagina's, G spot enhancement (Isn’t it being taken too far?!) Cosmetic plastic surgery is so common that it has become an obsession clearly shown by the amount of bank loans and debts people are putting theirselves through. The most weighing cause is Media that is promoting western beauty as the only key to happiness, wealth, fame and love. Striking fact: 55% of Japanese young women go to plastic surgery, changing their characteristic features to match Hollywood standards. One of the biggest worries is about the surgeons, who are willing to continue operating on these women, where are their medical ethics?? Actually, the root of the problem lies in the insecurity, lack of confidence and discontent. Therefore, society should be trying to help people to get over their fear rather than fostering the belief that by changing their exterior they can solve all their worries. In fact, if you 'fix' one thing there'll soon be something else you don't like about yourself. Be happy with what you have, instead of stressing over what you do not have.

"Doctors at a hospital in Brooklyn, New York have gone on strike. Hospital officials say they will find out what the Doctors' demands are as soon as they can get a pharmacist over there to read the picket signs!"

A short history of medicine: I have an earache. 2000 B.C. - Here, eat this root 1000 A.D. - That root is bad, say this prayer. 1850 A.D. - That prayer is superstition, drink this potion. 1940 A.D. - That potion is snake oil, swallow this pill. 1985 A.D. - That pill is ineffective, take this antibiotic. 2000 A.D. - That antibiotic is artificial. Here, eat this root.
