The reports focus on low paid Cuban medical personnel allegedly treating patients who pay under the table to receive better care than that available from the public health system, which is the island’s only legal option.
Elective surgeries, including a range of cosmetic plastic surgery, are also said to be commonplace – at a price.
According to Miami physician Julio Alfonso, Cubans living in South Florida often pay in dollars to improve the care of relatives on the island or undergo medical procedures themselves during visits to the country to avoid the high costs of health care in the United States.
Doctors in Cuba, where the government controls the entire health system, have long provided better treatment to patients who could give them “a little gift,” said the father of a gynaecologist outside Havana. “But it has been a matter of a pig or a chicken.”
But after the Soviet Union ended its subsidies to the island in the early 1990s, the public health system began to deteriorate and medical personnel started to offer more complex procedures for cash, usually US dollars.
Word of the Calixto Garcia Hospital investigation has been circulating in Havana for weeks. The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) and the blogs Havana Times and Diario de Cuba have all posted reports on the case.
Havana human rights activist Elizardo Sánchez said he had confirmed reports that five to 12 medical personnel had been detained for interrogation and sent home to await the prosecutors’ decisions. They were alleged to have performed relatively simple procedures, such as plastic surgeries and abortions, on paying patients in public hospitals.
Reports out of Cuba indicate that a number of doctors, nurses and other medical professionals have been interrogated by police for allegedly treating private, paying patients in public hospitals and running post-operative recovery rooms in private homes.
Personnel from the Calixto García Hospital and the Workers’ Maternity Hospital are said to be among those under investigation.

Addiction to morphine and heroin can be blocked, according to research released on Wednesday which could prove a major breakthrough in treating addicts and in pain relief treatments. Researchers at the University of Adelaide in Australia worked with colleagues at the University of Colorado in the United States to pinpoint a key mechanism in the body's immune system that amplifies addiction to opioid drugs.
"Our studies have shown conclusively that we can block addiction via the immune system of the brain, without targeting the brain's wiring," said Mark Hutchinson from Adelaide's School of Medical Sciences.
"Both the central nervous system and the immune system play important roles in creating addiction, but our studies have shown we only need to block the immune response in the brain to prevent cravings for opioid drugs."
The results, to be published Thursday in the Journal of Neuroscience, reveal that laboratory studies showed that the drug known as plus-naloxone, which is not yet in clinical use, will selectively block the immune-addiction response.
The researchers said that opioid drugs such as morphine and heroin bind to immune receptors in the brain known as TLR4 which then act as amplifiers for addiction, ramping up the "reward" effect of drugs of abuse to a high degree.
The new drug automatically shuts this effect down, Hutchinson said.
"It really reduces the reward level down to the equivalent of food, sex, and hugs," he told AFP.
Professor Linda Watkins, from the Center for Neuroscience at the University of Colorado, said the work fundamentally changed understanding about opioids, reward and addiction. --- Keep reading this story

Introducing....the 8 SEASONS of
Epiphany-
What is your talent/brand?
When did you identify your dream?
MF~Ha-ha, which one? I am an entertainer. I’m a rapper & model that grew up dancing
after dabbling in acting. I started pursuing
musiq in 2010. My heart was quickly falling out of love with the fashion industry.
In conjunction with major life changes happening all at once, musiq was there
to pick up the pieces.
Insanity-
Are you ready to stop your past habits and let go of people that are not supporting andhow?
MF~For the past two years I have made a conscious effort to make changes in my life and of course this was the first step. It was easier to let go or change business relationships than personal relationships, of course. But making these changes has definitely allowed me to lead a less stressful life. Changing yourself is the hardest struggle. I first had to admit to my bad habits and accept the fact that they had to be stopped/ changed.
Exhale-
How will you handle your transition? Can you breathe in your success and blow off the doubters?
MF~The transition has been very positive as far as supporters. After cutting out the bad apples in my life there were nothing but supporters left standing beside me. They are what keep me going. I tend to enter new ventures extremely cautiously. Their support is what keeps me pushing forward. I have yet to breathe in success. Every time I accomplish something I move on to the next project.
I’ll stop and smell the roses when I retire!
Synced-
Can you Say yes not can't everyday? Even if it hurts?
MF~This one used to be a struggle for me. But one day I said “I CAN! I WILL!” and I never looked back. ….Especially when something is hard to do.
Recognize-
Are you ready to dedicate your time? Are you prepared to start working through the setbacks and distractions?
MF~Oddly enough, I find the setbacks and distractions give me more drive. I like to think that I struggle because
I’m on the right path. Nothing worth having is easy to attain, right? I don’t dedicate the type of time I would like to my craft. I have to do what I have to do to handle
life’s responsibilities. However, I do use every available moment that I can to make sure I’m never at a standstill and I’m always progressing.
Believe-
What steps do you take to tell yourself that you are successful and that you deserve it?
MF~I try toremind myself that being an honest, hardworking person will pay off. "The greater the struggle, the greater the reward".
I pray I’m right!!
Life-
When will you get it started and get prepared to live life to the fullest?
MF~I’ve already started and I love how it feels to know I am moving in the right direction and doing it the right way. I’m preparing for my blessings.
Infinity-
How will YOUR dream effect you and change your life forever?
MF~I want to be successful so that I can help others. During my lifes obstacles I’ve often wondered why there was nothing out there to help people with needs like my own. Or, how can we improve on existing organizations. When I am able to
give abundantly I will have become a success!

"I have all the characteristics of a human being: blood, flesh, skin, hair; but not a single, clear, identifiable emotion, except for greed and disgust. Something horrible is happening inside of me and I don't know why. My nightly bloodlust has overflown into my days. I feel lethal, on the verge of frenzy. I think my mask of sanity is about to slip."

Your morning cup of coffee may start to taste even better after a major government study found that frequent coffee drinkers have a lower risk of dying from a variety of diseases, compared with people who drink little or no coffee.
The report, published online in The New England Journal of Medicine on Wednesday, analyzed the coffee-drinking habits of more than 400,000 men and women ages 50 to 71, making it the largest-ever study of the relationship between coffee consumption and health.
Previous studies have offered conflicting results on the relative benefits or harms associated with regular coffee consumption. While coffee contains caffeine, a stimulant that may temporarily increase heart rate and blood pressure in some people, coffee also contains hundreds of unique compounds and antioxidants that may confer health benefits. Further confusing much of the research into coffee is the fact that many coffee drinkers are also smokers, and it has been difficult to untangle the relative health effects of coffee and cigarettes.
To learn more, researchers from the National Institutes of Health analyzed diet and health information collected from questionnaires filled out by 229,119 men and 173,141 women who were members of the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) between 1995 and 1996. The respondents were followed until 2008, by which point 52,000 had died.
As expected, the researchers found that the regular coffee drinkers in the group were also more likely to be smokers. They ate more red meat and fewer fruits and vegetables, exercised less and drank more alcohol – all behaviors associated with poor health. ------ Keep reading this article

Lost for 1,600 years, the royal quarters of Cleopatra were discovered off the shores of Alexandria. A team of marine archaeologists, led by Frenchman, Franck Goddio, began excavating the ancient city in 1998. Historians believe the site was submerged by earthquakes and tidal waves, yet, astonishingly, several artifacts remained largely intact. Amongst the discoveries were the foundations of the palace, shipwrecks, red granite columns, and statues of the goddess Isis and a sphinx. The Egyptian Government plans to create an underwater museum and hold tours of the site.

If you’ve seen The Dark Knight, you likely know we’re talking about the scenes that show the Joker issuing threats and warnings through recordings done with a camcorder.
The most recognizable line to come from these scenes is when the Joker says "Tonight, people are going to die." Chris Nolan trusted Heath Ledger with these so much that he wasn’t even present during some of the last shootings of the scenes.
Ledger shot and directed them almost completely by himself. The first video had a bit more help. The lighting guy and the sound guys came in to set everything up, but ultimately Nolan was so impressed that after the first shoot he handed the camera to Ledger and said “do whatever you want.”
Apparently, Ledger got so into it that every single take he did was different from the last. In making The Dark Knight, Nolan didn’t want to make a bland sequel and strived to only do what works.
So devoted was Nolan to this film that there isn’t a single deleted scene. He only shot scenes that had at least three reasons to be in the film to ensure that everything would be equally important and nothing would waste time.
