How To Tell If You Have Low Testosterone
Men usually suspect that they may have low testosterone when they start experiencing certain symptoms, such as lack of energy, a decrease in sex drive, or any of the symptoms listed here.
Some men will look up these symptoms online, while others may talk to their doctor about the symptoms.
Ultimately, whichever route you take, you will land up at the same point – you need a blood test.
This blood test will check the key indicators of low testosterone in your body, such as total testosterone.
Your doctor, endocrinologist, or medical facilitator will then make a decision, based on these indicators and your lab results.
Some doctors may resist giving you a blood test – if this occurs, read Dealing With Doctors That Resist Testosterone Replacement Therapy.
If you need help understanding the information provided in blood test results for low testosterone, see Understanding Your Blood Test Results For Low Testosterone.

Unfavourable gender effect of high body mass index on brain metabolism and connectivity.
Abstract:
The influence of Body Mass Index (BMI) on neurodegeneration in dementia has yet to be elucidated. We aimed at exploring the effects of BMI levels on cerebral resting-state metabolism and brain connectivity, as crucial measures of synaptic function and activity, in a large group of patients with Alzheimer's Dementia (AD) (n = 206), considering gender. We tested the correlation between BMI levels and brain metabolism, as assessed by 18F-FDG-PET, and the modulation of the resting-state functional networks by BMI. At comparable dementia severity, females with high BMI can withstand a lower degree of brain metabolism dysfunction, as shown by a significant BMI-brain metabolism correlation in the temporal-parietal regions, which are typically vulnerable to AD pathology (R = 0.269, p = 0.009). Of note, high BMI was also associated with reduced connectivity in frontal and limbic brain networks, again only in AD females (p

How Aromatherapy Works
Aromatherapy works by stimulating receptors in the nose responsible for smell, sending messages by olfactory cells to the part of the brain that controls the drive for survival, emotions, and instinct called the limbic system. The olfactory cells recognize scents as specific aromatic molecules that fit into receptors on these cells. Although not fully understood, scientists believe that these nerve signals’ action causes powerful mood changes in response to particular smells.
Massage Therapy in Harmony with Aromatherapy
Massage therapy, combined with essential oils, candles and incense, stimulates positive emotions and relaxation, equipping clients with coping mechanisms for many other health issues. An aromatherapy massage is a popular multi-purpose way of using supplemental care for health issues. The skin absorbs essential oils maintaining suppleness, it offers pain relief, and the aroma’s mental stimulation provides clients with the ultimate massage session.
VIP Mobile Massage offers specialist care for each client, operating 7-days a week from 9:00 AM to 11:00 PM. Call us on 305-586-1267 to book an appointment or inquire about our services.

Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF)
What is Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF)?
PRF is a concentration of growth factors and cells collected from your own blood. It is a natural regenerative strategy that uses a standard blood draw, then is spun at high speeds in a Bio-PRF machine to create concentrated and natural growth factors.
Since no additives are used, it forms a ‘super’ blood clot with significantly elevated concentrations of regenerative cells and growth factors capable of stimulating wound healing.
The PRF method accumulates up to 6-8 times more platelets and leukocytes when compared to whole blood. These cells then release more growth factors and fight potential incoming infections, thereby reducing post-operative pain. The new Bio-PRF technology has been scientifically shown to be a highly effective medical procedure to induce tissue regeneration, instead of using artificial components such as animal, human, or laboratory-derived products.
Where PRF Is Used at Victoria Village Dentistry
• At extraction sites to promote general wound healing
• Bone graft procedures
• Surgical sites
• Facial aesthetics

Question: How do you catch HIV?
Contact between broken skin, wounds, or mucous membranes and HIV-infected blood or blood-contaminated body fluids. Deep, open-mouth kissing if both partners have sores or bleeding gums and blood from the HIV-positive partner gets into the bloodstream of the HIV-negative partner. HIV is not spread through saliva.
Is it easy to catch HIV?
HIV is not passed on easily from one person to another. The virus does not spread through the air like cold and flu viruses. HIV lives in the blood and in some body fluids. To get HIV, 1 of these fluids from someone with HIV has to get into your blood.
What are the chances of catching HIV?

How is HIV caused?
HIV infection is caused by the human immunodeficiency virus. You can get HIV from contact with infected blood, semen, or vaginal fluids. Most people get the virus by having unprotected sex with someone who has HIV. Another common way of getting it is by sharing drug needles with someone who is infected with HIV.

Immediate Moderate Intensity Treadmill Exercise After Restraint Stress Induced ERK-mediated Anxiety and Depression
PURPOSE Chronic stress cause physical and mental function disorders such as anxiety and depression. One of the effective ways to relieve this stress is regular moderate intensity exercise. However effect of exact role of moderate intensity exercise on physical and mental function is not clear. This study aim to investigate the effect of immediate moderate intensity exercise after stress on anxiety, depression-like behavior and motor ability. METHODS Six-week-old male wister rat were divided into three group which were control(CT) group, restraint stress (RS) group and treadmill exercise after restraint stress (EX) group. RS and EX group were subjected to re-straint stress (1h/day) for 5 days, while CT group were stay in normal condition. Immediate after restraint stress, EX group were subjected to treadmill-running (30min/day) for 5 days immediate after restraint stress. Free mov-ing tests and open field tests were used to analyze behavior and athletic competence such as anxiety and de-pression, and phosphorylation levels of ERK were assessed using western blotting of the brain hippocampus. RESULTS In free moving test, freezing time of EX group were increased compared to RS group(p<.05) and CT group(p<.05). On the other hand, Velocity of EX group were decreased compared to RS group(p<.05) and CT group(p<.05). In open field test, velocity, distance and frequency in center of RS group were lower than CT group(p<.05) and EX group were lower than ST group(p<.01). Phosphorylation of ERK were increased on EX group. CONCLUSIONS Immediate moderate intensity treadmill exercise after restraint stress increased anxiety and depression-like behavior and decreased motor ability. Furthermore, the activity of ERK protein associated with stress and depression was increased by immediate exercise after stress. The results suggest that immediate exer-cise after stress can lead to mental and physical depression.

Abstract
The development of reliable tissue engineering methods using decellularized cadaveric or donor lungs could potentially provide a new source of lung tissue. The vast majority of current lung decellularization protocols are detergent based and incompletely removed residual detergents may have a deleterious impact on subsequent scaffold recellularization. Detergent removal and quality control measures that rigorously and reliably confirm removal, ideally utilizing nondestructive methods, are thus critical for generating optimal acellular scaffolds suitable for potential clinical translation. Using a modified and optimized version of a methylene blue-based detergent assay, we developed a straightforward, noninvasive method for easily and reliably detecting two of the most commonly utilized anionic detergents, sodium deoxycholate (SDC) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), in lung decellularization effluents. In parallel studies, we sought to determine the threshold of detergent concentration that was cytotoxic using four different representative human cell types utilized in the study of lung recellularization: human bronchial epithelial cells, human pulmonary vascular endothelial cells (CBF12), human lung fibroblasts, and human mesenchymal stem cells. Notably, different cells have varying thresholds for either SDC or SDS-based detergent-induced cytotoxicity. These studies demonstrate the importance of reliably removing residual detergents and argue that multiple cell lines should be tested in cytocompatibility-based assessments of acellular scaffolds. The detergent detection assay presented here is a useful nondestructive tool for assessing detergent removal in potential decellularization schemes or for use as a potential endpoint in future clinical schemes, generating acellular lungs using anionic detergent-based decellularization protocols.

Wait a minute, you auscultated a broken bone?
How to use the lost art of auscultatory percussion to evaluate suspected long bone fractures
"Didn't notice any crepitus or deformities, Doc, but it sure sounded broken when I auscultated it."
The Emergency Department was a little busy that day, so I suppose it was no surprise that I was almost out the door before the ED physician who took my handoff report caught up to me, grabbed my arm and blurted, "Wait a minute, you auscultated what?"
Thus arose my first opportunity to pass along something I learned from an orthopedic surgeon in a long-ago PHTLS course: using the lost art of auscultatory percussion to evaluate suspected long bone fractures.
Percuss a bony prominence at one end of a long bone while auscultating over the other end.

The use of the technique to diagnose long bone fractures traces its origins to the infancy of diagnostic imaging, when X-ray machines were crude and CT scans were unheard of. However, since we have neither at our disposal, we may still find the technique useful, if for no other reason than to show an ED physician that our assessment is strong, and that we can do a more elegant assessment than the crude and painful "three-point long bone check" taught in so many EMT courses. These are the people we're calling for treatment orders, after all.
When the patient is screaming in pain and one leg is several inches shorter than the other, or an arm has an extra joint, diagnosing a long bone fracture is easy. However, how do we make the call when the signs are more ambiguous, or absent?
I can remember a number of femur fractures I've treated that were not significantly deformed, particularly in patients with neuromuscular weakness.
To perform auscultatory percussion, simply percuss a bony prominence at one end of a long bone while auscultating over the other end. Intact bone conducts sound very well, and will produce a distinct, low-frequency "thump" with percussion. Compare to the uninjured side and note the relative decrease or absence of sound conduction in the fractured limb.
To evaluate the femur and hip, percuss the patella while auscultating over the symphysis pubis. To evaluate the humerus and shoulder, auscultate the manubrium and percuss the elbow.
Give it a try sometime. The results may surprise you.

Nuclear medicine techniques
Radionuclide ventriculography (sometimes known as MUGA) is a test that uses very small amounts of radioactive materials, called tracers, to make your heart and blood vessels visible. This test evaluates heart function. Perfusion scans will show the blood flow through the heart muscle and may detect areas of poor blood flow ischaemia . For both tests, tracers are injected into your vein and are tracked through the heart using special cameras or scanners.
You will usually be tested when you are resting and possibly again with exercise, or after taking certain medicines. You may be asked not to have any food or drink containing caffeine or alcohol for several hours before the tests. You should take your daily medicine, unless otherwise instructed.
Nuclear medicine techniques only carry a very low risk of complications, as the amount of radiation is so small.

The effects of chronic ethanol self-administration on hippocampal serotonin transporter density in monkeys
E. J. Burnett, A. T. Davenport, K. A. Grant, D. P. Friedman
Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review
14 Scopus citations
Abstract
Evidence for an interaction between alcohol consumption and the serotonin system has been observed repeatedly in both humans and animal models yet the specific relationship between the two remains unclear. Research has focused primarily on the serotonin transporter (SERT) due in part to its role in regulating extracellular levels of serotonin. The hippocampal formation is heavily innervated by ascending serotonin fibers and is a major component of the neurocircuitry involved in mediating the reinforcing effects of alcohol. The current study investigated the effects of chronic ethanol self-administration on hippocampal SERT in a layer and field specific manner using a monkey model of human alcohol consumption. [3H]Citalopram was used to measure hippocampal SERT density in male cynomolgus macaques that voluntarily self-administered ethanol for 18 months. Hippocampal [3H]citalopram binding was less dense in ethanol drinkers than in controls, with the greatest effect observed in the molecular layer of the dentate gyrus. SERT density was not correlated with measures of ethanol consumption or blood ethanol concentrations, suggesting the possibility that a threshold level of consumption had been met. The lower hippocampal SERT density observed suggests that chronic ethanol consumption is associated with altered serotonergic modulation of hippocampal neurotransmission.

When it comes to maximizing your gains in strength and muscle mass, understanding the role of hormones in strength training and muscle growth is crucial. Hormones act as messengers in your body, orchestrating the complex processes that lead to muscle hypertrophy and strength enhancements. In this comprehensive guide, we'll delve into the specifics of how hormones influence your fitness journey.
The Key Hormones Involved in Muscle Growth
Several hormones play pivotal roles in muscle growth. Among the most influential are testosterone, growth hormone (GH), and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1). Each of these hormones facilitates muscle hypertrophy in distinct ways:
• Testosterone: Known as the primary male sex hormone, testosterone is critical for protein synthesis and muscle repair. It directly influences the anabolic environment in the body, promoting the growth of muscle fibers.
• Growth Hormone: Released by the pituitary gland, GH stimulates overall growth and cell reproduction. It promotes the release of IGF-1, which further enhances muscle growth.
• Insulin-like Growth Factor 1: IGF-1 works alongside GH to stimulate muscle growth and repair, thereby boosting muscle hypertrophy.
Testosterone: The Anabolic Powerhouse
Testosterone is often dubbed the king of anabolic hormones. A study published in the Journal of Applied Physiology showed that men with higher testosterone levels experienced greater muscle mass and strength gains from resistance training compared to those with lower levels (source). Here's how it works:
1. Increased Protein Synthesis: Testosterone enhances the rate at which muscle proteins are synthesized, aiding in quicker recovery and growth.
2. Reduced Muscle Breakdown: It decreases the activity of catabolic hormones that break down muscle tissue, preserving the muscle mass you work hard to build.
3. Enhanced Neural Adaptations: Higher testosterone levels can improve neuromuscular communication, leading to more effective strength training sessions.
Understanding the impact of testosterone can help you adjust your training and lifestyle to optimize its levels. Factors such as sleep, nutrition, and resistance training intensity all play roles in maintaining healthy testosterone levels.
Growth Hormone and IGF-1: The Dynamic Duo
The relationship between growth hormone and IGF-1 is akin to a duo of superheroes working together to combat muscle atrophy. Growth hormone stimulates the liver to produce IGF-1, which then circulates to the muscles and promotes growth. This relationship was highlighted in a review by the European Journal of Endocrinology (source).
Growth hormone peaks during sleep, making quality rest essential for maximizing muscle growth. Incorporating proper sleep hygiene and a balanced diet rich in protein can significantly enhance GH and IGF-1 levels, contributing to better muscle gains.
Practical Tips for Maximizing Hormonal Benefits
Here are some actionable steps to make the most of your hormonal responses for muscle growth:
• Optimize Your Sleep: Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep per night to support GH production.
• Focus on Compound Movements: Exercises like squats, deadlifts, and bench presses stimulate testosterone and GH release more than isolation exercises.
• Eat a Balanced Diet: Ensure you get enough protein, healthy fats, and carbs to fuel muscle growth and hormonal balance.
• Manage Stress: High stress levels can increase cortisol, a catabolic hormone. Practice stress-reducing activities like meditation or yoga.
Conclusion: Boost Your Gains by Understanding Hormones
Understanding the role of hormones in strength training and muscle growth can give you the edge you need to optimize your workouts and nutrition. By focusing on hormones like testosterone, growth hormone, and IGF-1, you can create an optimal internal environment for muscle hypertrophy. Implement the practical tips we've discussed, and you'll be on your way to maximizing your strength and muscle gains.

- Insulin‑like Growth Factor 1 (IGF‑1)
### Testosterone
Testosterone is often dubbed the king of anabolic hormones; it is critical for protein synthesis and muscle repair. It directly influences the anabolic environment in the body, promoting the growth of muscle fibers.
#### How Testosterone Works
1. **Increased Protein Synthesis:** Testosterone enhances the rate at which muscle proteins are synthesized, aiding in quicker recovery and growth.
2. **Reduced Muscle Breakdown:** Testosterone decreases the activity of catabolic hormones that break down muscle tissue, preserving the muscle mass you work hard to build.
3. **Enhanced Neural Adaptations:** Higher testosterone levels can improve neuromuscular communication, leading to more effective strength training sessions.
Testosterone levels are influenced by factors such as sleep, nutrition, and resistance training intensity.
### Growth Hormone (GH) and Insulin‑like Growth Factor 1 (IGF‑1)
Growth hormone, released by the pituitary gland, stimulates overall growth and cell reproduction. It promotes the release of IGF‑1, which further enhances muscle growth. The relationship between growth hormone and IGF‑1 was highlighted in a review by the European Journal of Endocrinology.
Growth hormone peaks during sleep, making quality rest essential for maximizing muscle growth. Incorporating proper sleep hygiene and a balanced diet rich in protein can significantly enhance GH and IGF‑1 levels.
## Practical Tips for Maximizing Hormonal Benefits
- **Optimize Your Sleep:** Aim for 7–9 hours of quality sleep per night to support GH production.
- **Focus on Compound Movements:** Exercises such as squats, deadlifts, and bench presses stimulate testosterone and GH release more than isolation exercises.
- **Eat a Balanced Diet:** Ensure you receive adequate protein, healthy fats, and carbs to fuel muscle growth and hormone balance.
- **Manage Stress:** High stress levels can increase cortisol, a catabolic hormone. Practice stress‑reducing activities such as meditation or yoga.
## Conclusion
Understanding the role of testosterone, growth hormone, and IGF‑1 can give you an edge in optimizing strength training, muscle hypertrophy, and overall performance. By focusing on these hormones and implementing the practical tips above, you can create an optimal internal environment for muscle growth and maximize your strength gains.

The book examines energy expediture, exercise, and diet from an evolutionary perspective, putting the modern converns of health and metabolic disease in a different light than we typically encounter on the covers of wellness magazines or lifestyle books. Every molecule in your body, every pound of bone and muscle, every ounce of brain and kidney, every fingernail and eyelash, all six quarts of blood squirting around your vessels, all of it is made of reassembled bits of food you’ve eaten. The energy that keeps you moving and keeps you alive comes from your diet as well. You are what you eat isn’t just a well-worn cliché, it’s how life actually works. Bottom line is that your daily activity level has already no bearing on the number of calories you burn each day. Our metabolic engines shift and change to make room for increased activity costs, ultimately keeping daily energy expenditure within a narrow window. As a result, physically active people—whether it’s hunter-gatherers living today or
in our collective past, or people in the industrialized world who exercise regularly—burn the same amount of energy as people who are much more sedentary. In other words, if you start a new exercise program tomorrow and stick to it religiously, you will most likely weigh nearly the same in two years as you do right now. You should still do it! You’ll be happier, healthier, and live longer. Just don’t expect any meaningful weight change in the long term from exercise alone. Exercise is a tool for achieving weight loss… it seems to help people maintain weight loss.

Recipe for a Successful Diet
Mark Sagor
/
Categories:
EAP
How do you like the idea of a diet that lets you eat as much as you want to and still realize a healthy weight loss? A diet which doesn’t require you to keep track of calories or points?
If you like this idea read on, because not only is there such a diet, but a prestigious medical journal has just published research which demonstrates the strategy’s effectiveness.
Before telling you about it I want to say that there is absolutely nothing wrong with counting points or calories as a dieting approach. It is an effective approach for a lot of people and, over the years I have been very impressed with the success of the Weight Watcher program which is firmly based in counting points.
Having said that, counting calories is not an approach which works for everyone (no approach does). So it’s always a good idea to have different weight loss strategies available so you can find the option that will work best for you.
Let’s return to the results of a new study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. This was a large and well-designed study ($8 million in funding from the National Institute of Health) that carefully followed more than 600 people.
The researchers found that “people who cut back on added sugar, refined grains and highly processed foods while concentrating on eating plenty of vegetables and whole foods- without worrying about counting calories or limiting portion sizes lost significant amounts of weight over the course of a year.”
This result was equally true whether people followed diets that were mostly low in fat or mostly low in carbohydrates.
In other words, the research strongly supports the idea that it is diet quality, not diet quantity, which helps people lose and manage their weight most effectively in the long run.
What is unique about this weight-loss study was the fact that the researchers did not set specific or restrictive carbohydrate, fat or calorie limits on people. They told participants to eat as much as they wanted to of whole foods in order to avoid feeling hungry. As you might imagine the people in the study were relieved, as well as surprised, when they learned they did not need to focus on restricting or counting calories.
This is not to say that calories don’t matter. By the end of the study the participants ultimately ended up consuming fewer calories. The key point is that they accomplished this, not by counting calories, but by eating enough whole and nutritious foods to satisfy their hunger.
Recipe for a Successful Diet
-Unlimited fresh and whole foods
-Very small amount of added sugar
-Small pinch of processed foods
-Less refined grains
Combine these ingredients to lose weight, feel healthier and not feel hungry in the process.
If you would like additional information or support for implementing this approach to weight management (or any other approach for that matter) remember that many companies have Employee Assistance Programs (EAPS) that feature health coaching as part of their services to provide professional and personalized guidance on nutrition and diet.

2. Hormonal issues

# Whey Protein Side Effects
## What Are the Side Effects of Whey Protein?
Whey protein is one of the most popular and old dietary supplements in the health and fitness industry. It eases the difficult task of meeting daily intake and is the most researched, consumed supplement. Each serving provides approximately 25–27 g of fast‑digesting protein.
---
### 1. Digestive issues
It is made from milk, which contains lactose, a sugar found in dairy. People who are lactose intolerant may experience digestive issues related to lactose digestion such as bloating, acidity, gas, vomiting, or diarrhea. Lactose intolerance can cause significant problems if the body cannot digest lactose effectively. Avoiding whey protein may help alleviate these symptoms.
### 2. Hormonal issues
Milk contains natural hormones, and dairy farmers sometimes inject artificial hormones to cows to increase milk yield. These free‑flowing hormones include estrogen, which enters the human body when whey protein is consumed. Hormone‑sensitive individuals may experience problems such as acne, hair loss, oily skin, gut issues, or PCOS (in women) after consuming whey protein. If you are more sensitive to hormonal changes, avoiding whey protein may be advisable.
### 3. Kidney problems
Protein is essential for muscle mass, bone health, hormones, and skin/hair health. Consuming more protein than the body requires can strain the kidneys, which filter blood to remove excess protein. Excess protein intake may slow kidney filtration and potentially damage kidney function over time, especially with frequent supplementation.
### 4. Fake or adulterated supplements
Supplement markets see an increase in fake or adulterated products. Cheese, high prices, and large profit margins can give rise to sub‑standard or contaminated supplements. Poor‑quality ingredients may harm digestive, liver, and kidney health. New users should be cautious of sub‑standard or counterfeit whey protein products.
### 5. Acne
Research suggests a correlation between milk and acne. Milk and milk products contain IGF‑1, a growth‑promoting hormone associated with increased estrogen factors linked to acne. Dairy‑sensitive individuals may experience breakouts in the form of acne after consuming whey protein. Acne can be a concern for sensitive users.
---
## Summary
While whey protein offers substantial benefits, it can cause side effects such as digestive issues, hormonal changes, kidney strain, exposure to low‑quality supplements, and acne. Those with lactose intolerance, hormone sensitivity, kidney concerns, or acne should exercise caution.
Whey protein should be consumed in line with personal health status and under guidance from a medical or nutrition professional.

Abstract
Early experience of 48-hour normothermic machine perfusion in human kidneys applying urine recirculation

Introduction: Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) of the kidney has been studied extensively during the past decade. Short-term kidney NMPhas demonstrated promising results, however currently transplant logistics cannot be improved and for organ treatment longer preservationperiods might be necessary. As a proof of principle, we aimed to achieve 48-hour NMP by applying urine recirculation (UR) with a commerciallyavailable perfusion device.
Methods: Discarded human kidneys were normothermically perfused on the XVIVO Kidney Assist perfusion device. The perfusate comprisedpacked red cells and 5% albumin. For volume management UR was applied. Air (21% O2) and CO2 were used for oxygenation of the circuit andmonitored with an in-line blood gas analyzer. Perfusate and urine samples as well as hemodynamics were regularly assessed.
Results: Five discarded human kidneys underwent kidney NMP following hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) and static cold storage. All butone kidneys were DBD organs. Median donor age (range) was 62 (41-68) years. Median (IQR) CIT and HMP were 19.9 (12.1) h and 5 (7.2) h. AnNMP duration of 48 h could be achieved in all kidneys. All kidneys were urinating throughout with a median (IQR) output of 22.5 (30.5) ml/h.Overall median (IQR) arterial flow was 695 (383) ml/min. Median (IQR) pH was 7.2 (0.2). Overall median (IQR) perfusate sodium, chloride andpotassium were 161 (14.7) mmol/L, 124.5 (11.5) mmol/L, and 6.5 (2.7) mmol/L. Median (IQR) perfusate lactate over time was 109 (55.2) mg/dL.Median perfusate sodium and chloride were significantly higher than corresponding urine values (sodium: 130 (27) mmol/L, chloride: 120.5(11.8) mmol/L) over time (P = 0.02 and 0.04). Median arterial flow over time was significantly higher in NMP kidneys with lower perfusate sodiumlevels (p<0.001, correlations coefficient Spearman’s rho -0.461).
Conclusions: This early experience underlines the feasibility of extended ex-situ kidney NMP by applying UR. Hemodynamic stability and urineexcretion were achieved for 48 hours.

Kansas City MO Chiropractors May Help Scoliosis
Kansas City MO Chiropractors May Help Scoliosis
Kansas City Chiropractors May Help Scoliosis
Among common back conditions, scoliosis is one that has the potential to cause a great deal of discomfort and immobility. Between 5 million and 7 million people in the United States are affected by scoliosis. Kansas City MO chiropractors have the ability to provide relief to many scoliosis patients, making their day-to-day lives more manageable.
What is Scoliosis in Kansas City MO?
Scoliosis is a condition of the spine where a lateral or sideways curvature of greater than 10 degrees develops. Most of the time, the cause of this unique curvature is unknown, but in around 20 percent of the cases, things like neurological disease, trauma, or tumors are responsible. Scoliosis with no known cause is called idiopathic.
If someone has functional scoliosis, it means that a postural issue, muscle spasm or legs that are different lengths is the cause. This type of scoliosis can usually be remedied. If scoliosis is considered structural, various postural strategies are usually ineffective. Scoliosis is more common among girls and it typically develops between the ages of 10 and 15. It can also be passed down, so if a parent or sibling has it there is a higher likelihood of a younger child getting it.
Common Symptoms of Scoliosis
Some of the common symptoms of scoliosis include intense pain, reduced range of motion, reduced lung function, and reduced heart function. Psychological problems including decreased self-esteem are also a common issue among people that have scoliosis. Around 80 percent of people with scoliosis have a curvature of fewer than 20 degrees, but since it occurs most often during adolescence, it is possible to see large increases in curvature within a short period. Scoliosis is usually diagnosed through physical evaluation and x-rays to determine the extent of the spinal curvature.
Chiropractic Treatment for Scoliosis
Some of the most effective treatments performed by Kansas City chiropractors for scoliosis include spinal manipulation, electric muscle stimulation, and therapeutic exercise. This is an area that hasn’t received a lot of attention or research, but many patients with scoliosis that have had chiropractic treatment report an improvement in their condition.
Even if the spinal curvature is not completely corrected, any associated pain or issues that have been added to the scoliosis discomfort will be addressed. Sometimes the change in posture and gait created by scoliosis causes other areas to overcompensate, causing pain and leading to new issues. Your chiropractor at Leath Chiropractic will search for the underlying cause of all your structural aches and pains and find the solution that works best for your specific situation.

Benefits of Carbs and Fat
Carbs and Fat
Its very common to see and read that carbs and fat is good. Leaving only the third macronutrient (protein) as the good one: which is a huge lie. Today we will talk about why its not true, the actual benefits from carbs and fat and why shouldn’t you be hating those.
Benefits of Carbs and Fat
Lets start saying that any of the macronutrientes that we NEED (protein, carbs and protein) are all very good for us and can make wonders (for those who want to lose weight, gain body mass etc.). BUT, when eatten out of control. When you are not thinking what you eat, they can be very bad. There are good and bad carbs, good and bad fat and ALSO good and bad protein. This is the mindset you gotta have.
Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Be Hating Carbs
There are good carbs (complex carbs) and bad carbs (refined carbs, simple). But in resume, for the sake of the post: as the name tells you, simple carbs represents carbs that have their molecular composition simple, monosaccharides, with only one molecule. Being one, when I tell you that it will digest fast you will not be surprise, right? That’s what happens! And fast digestion leads to insulin spike in the blood, due to high glucose levels that came from simple carbs. Insulin spikes helps glucose to stored as fat = BAD BAD BAD!!!
In the other side, complex carbs goes for polysaccharides, multiple molecules of monosaccharides on its composition. So, it slows down the digestion, not causing insulin spikes, making your body do what it gotta do.
Knowing that, you can understand why good carbs in your daily intake of food is the right thing to do when I say that it also helps:
• Weight loss promotion
• Muscle up – it helps a lot to muscle building (pre and post training meals)
• Minimize risk of lots of deseases
• Its your body prefered energy source – so you basically get weak without it
Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Be Hating Fat
There are different kinds of fat as well. Here I am going to talk about saturated fat, the one that has the worst fame out there and is actually pretty good, lets see why:
• Improves health on both brain and nervous system – In order for the nervous system to work (and the whole brain), we have myelin so the brain can work properly. Myelin is made of saturated fat. If something happens to it, a lot of mental disorders can show up.
• It works as a antioxidant
• It is good for skin
• It is tasty (in general, food that contain saturated fat are very tasty)
• It helps immunity system to work better and harder – make it stronger
Other kinds of that are: unsaturated fatty acids (monounsaturated – healthy, polyunsaturated). Although we only talked about saturated fat above, it is very important, and sometimes even healthier to go for unsaturated fat (mostly, monounsaturated).

# Benefits of Carbs and Fat
Carbs and Fat
Its very common to see and read that carbs and fat is good. Leaving only the third macronutrient (protein) as the good one: which is a huge lie. Today we will talk about why its not true, the actual benefits from carbs and fat and why shouldn’t you be hating those.
---
## Benefits of Carbs and Fat
Lets start saying that any of the macronutrientes that we NEED (protein, carbs and protein) are all very good for us and can make wonders (for those who want to lose weight, gain body mass etc.). BUT, when eatten out of control. When you are not thinking what you eat, they can be very bad. There are good and bad carbs, good and bad fat and ALSO good and bad protein. This is the mindset you gotta have.
---
## Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Be Hating Carbs
There are good carbs (complex carbs) and bad carbs (refined carbs, simple). But in resume, for the sake of the post: as the name tells you, simple carbs represents carbs that have their molecular composition simple, monosaccharides, with only one molecule. Being one, when I tell you that it will digest fast you will not be surprise, right? That’s what happens! And fast digestion leads to insulin spike in the blood, due to high glucose levels that came from simple carbs. Insulin spikes helps glucose to stored as fat = BAD BAD BAD!!!
In the other side, complex carbs goes for polysaccharides, multiple molecules of monosaccharides on its composition. So, it slows down the digestion, not causing insulin spikes, making your body do what it gotta do.
Knowing that, you can understand why good carbs in your daily intake of food is the right thing to do when I say that it also helps:
• Weight loss promotion
• Muscle up – it helps a lot to muscle building (pre and post training meals)
• Minimize risk of lots of diseases
• Its your body preferred energy source – so you basically get weak without it
---
## Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Be Hating Fat
There are different kinds of fat as well. Here I am going to talk about saturated fat, the one that has the worst fame out there and is actually pretty good, lets see why:
• Improves health on both brain and nervous system – In order for the nervous system to work (and the whole brain), we have myelin so the brain can work properly. Myelin is made of saturated fat. If something happens to it, a lot of mental disorders can show up.
• It works as a antioxidant
• It is good for skin
• It is tasty (in general, food that contain saturated fat are very tasty)
• It helps immunity system to work better and harder – make it stronger
Other kinds of that are: unsaturated fatty acids (monounsaturated – healthy, polyunsaturated). Although we only talked about saturated fat above, it is very important, and sometimes even healthier to go for unsaturated fat (mostly, monounsaturated).

Abstract
The prognostic factors for extrahepatic biliary atresia (EHBA) after Kasai portoenterostomy include the patient's age at portoenterostomy (age), size of bile duct in theporta hepatis (size), clearance of jaundice after operation (clearance) and the surgeon's experience. The aim of this study is to examine the most significant prognostic factor of EHBA after Kasai portoenterostomy. This retrospective study was done in 51 cases of EHBA that received Kasai portoenterostomy by one pediatric surgeon. For the statistical analysis, Kaplan-Meier method, Logrank test and Cox regression test were used. A p value of less than 0.05 was considered to be significant. Fifteen patients were regarded as dead in this study, including nine cases of liver transplantation. There was no significant difference of survival to age. The age is also not a significant risk factor for survival in this study (Cox Regression test; p = 0.63). There was no significant difference in survival in relation to the size of bile duct. However, bile duct size was a significant risk factor for survival (Cox Regression test; p = 0.002). There was a significant difference in relation to survival and clearance (Kaplan-Meier method; p = 0.02). The clearing was also a significant risk factor for survival (Cox Regression test; p = 0.001). The clearance of jaundice is the most significant prognostic factor of EHBA after Kasai portoenterostomy.

Hydrogen-Deuterium Exchange Mass Spectrometry Reveals a Novel Binding Region of a Neutralizing Fully Human Monoclonal Antibody to Anthrax Protective Antigen
Fang, M;Wang, Z;Norris, K;James, JA;Wu, S;Smith, K;
Anthrax vaccine adsorbed (AVA) containing protective antigen (PA) is the only FDA-approved anthrax vaccine in the United States. Characterization of the binding of AVA-induced anti-PA human antibodies against the PA antigen after vaccination is crucial to understanding mechanisms of the AVA-elicited humoral immune response. Hydrogen deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) is often coupled with a short liquid chromatography gradient (e.g., 5-10 min) for the characterization of protein interactions. We recently developed a long-gradient (e.g., 90 min), sub-zero temperature, ultra-high performance liquid chromatography HDX-MS (UPLC-HDX-MS) platform that has significantly increased separation power and limited back-exchange for the analysis of protein samples with high complexity. In this study, we demonstrated the utility of this platform for mapping antibody-antigen epitopes by examining four fully human monoclonal antibodies to anthrax PA. Antibody p1C03, with limited neutralizing activity in vivo, bound to a region on domain 1A of PA. p6C04 and p1A06, with no neutralizing activities, bound to the same helix on domain 3 to prevent oligomerization of PA. We found p6C01 strongly bound to domain 3 on a different helix region. We also identified a secondary epitope for p6C01, which likely leads to the blocking of furin cleavage of PA after p6C01 binding. This novel binding of p6C01 results in highly neutralizing activity. This is the first report of this distinct binding mechanism for a highly neutralizing fully human antibody to anthrax protective antigen. Studying such epitopes can facilitate the development of novel therapeutics against anthrax.

Everything You Need to Know About Bone Pain
Pain is one of the most common medical conditions that you will find worldwide. People everywhere struggle with managing temporary, acute, and chronic pain levels. Sometimes, it originates in the muscle or the joint. In cases like fibromyalgia, it’s believed to originate in the central nervous system and come down through the nerves in the body. In other cases, pain sometimes feels like it’s coming right through the bone. That’s what we’re talking about today – bone pain.
Where does bone pain come from?
If you were to describe bone pain, you might say it’s like a tenderness, extreme aching, or discomfort.

Beyond that, you may experience weakness, pain that spreads across the body, fatigue, and in some cases, sounds of snapping or grinding. People who suffer from bone pain may find themselves hard to sit or stand for a long period of time. They have to change positions from time to time trying to feel better.
How is bone pain diagnosed?
Bone pain is diagnosed by performing a physical exam. This will determine where the pain is located when it started if it’s been getting worse, and what’s next. Blood tests may be ordered should the doctor suspect there are vitamin or calcium deficiencies or to check for cancer markers. There are also x-rays, bone MRIs, and CT scans that can be performed to determine injury, lesions, or tumors within the bone.
Can bone pain be treated?
In most cases, yes, bone pain can be treated. Assuming the cause of bone pain isn’t anything serious, the focus of treatment is all about remedying the symptom of pain while whatever’s happening heals. In fact, you can find several bone pain treatments at home at Lierre.ca that can help a tremendous amount – all non-pharmaceuticals. Here are some other treatment options:

In cases of more severe pain – although rare – morphine and stronger medications may be recommended.
• If you are diagnosed with osteoarthritis, treatment turns to nutritional supplements to increase the amount of calcium and vitamin D levels in the body. You will find a wide range of choices for health products containing vitamin D at pharmacies.
• Antibiotics are provided if the doctor finds that there is some sort of infection affecting the bone.
How can I prevent bone pain?
The best way to prevent pain is to keep your bones strong and healthy. This means exercising, eating right, getting the recommended amounts of calcium and vitamin D, and avoiding smoking. This gives you your best chance of avoiding bone pain. Aside from this, another preparation method can be to ensure you have your anti-pain and bone pain treatments at home. Moreover, be careful during and after working out. Running with the inappropriate position is quite likely to cause bone pain, but fortunately, there are ways to heal the issue.

The Health Benefits of Coffee
2 min read
Drinking coffee can help prevent and treat several health conditions, including cancer. Its antioxidants may reduce inflammation, which in turn may reduce the risk of certain chronic diseases. Recent studies have shown that coffee may lower the risk of several cancers, including colorectal, liver and prostate cancer. However, coffee consumption is not recommended for those who are pregnant or at risk of bone fractures.
Studies show that drinking coffee reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease. People who drink three to five cups a day are 15% less likely to develop heart disease. This result was confirmed in a meta-analysis of studies involving more than 21,000 people. Coffee can also lower blood pressure. According to one study, drinking seven cups a day significantly reduced the risk of hypertension.
Coffee is a natural stimulant that increases alertness and concentration. Its high caffeine content makes it a great choice for drivers, as drinking coffee can reduce the distractions that often accompany driving. Moreover, studies have shown that drinking coffee has many health benefits, including a decreased risk of type 2 diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, heart disease, and stroke. Moreover, regular consumption of two to three cups a day may help improve health outcomes.
Studies on diabetes and drinking coffee have shown that people who consume it on a daily basis are at a 6% lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes than those who don’t. This may be due to coffee’s ability to protect the beta cells of the pancreas, which produce insulin. Furthermore, coffee’s high antioxidant content may improve insulin sensitivity and metabolism.
Drinking coffee is associated with several health benefits, including reduced risk of type 2 diabetes, a reduced risk of liver disease, and increased insulin sensitivity. However, the mechanisms behind these positive effects are not well understood. Currently, coffee is recommended only for moderate amounts as more studies are needed to determine the best dosage.
Drinking coffee may also help protect against neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease. Research has shown that people who drink coffee regularly have a significantly lower risk of developing these diseases, but the results aren’t conclusive. In addition, coffee can prevent or slow down the progression of depression and cognitive conditions in certain types of people. There are also studies that suggest that drinking more coffee may reduce the risk of developing certain types of liver cancer.

Is stomach pain after eating a sign of diabetes?
People with diabetes may experience stomach pain sign after eating due to a condition called gastroparesis, which is more common in people with diabetes. Gastroparesis is a condition that affects how the stomach empties, and it can be caused by nerve damage from high blood sugar, leading to slowed or non-functioning stomach muscles. This can result in symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, bloating, and postprandial fullness. Gastroparesis can also lead to complications in blood sugar control and may cause other digestive issues such as heartburn, reflux, and trouble controlling blood sugar[1].
Many people are quite in the know of the common symptoms of diabetes such as
• urinating often
• feeling very thirsty
• feeling very hungry, even though you are eating
• extreme fatigue
• blurry vision
• cuts/bruises that are slow to heal
• tingling, pain, or numbness in the hands/feet
• weight loss (type 1)
• dry, itchy skin
• Increased hunger
• unexplained weight loss
• genital itching or thrush
• blurred eyesight
• slow-healing cuts and wounds
• presence of ketones in the urine
• feeling tired and weak and
• feeling irritable or having other mood changes.
But not so many people know that abdominal discomfort after eating is a lesser-known sign of diabetes. When this happens, it could indicate gastroparesis, a complication where food gets stuck in the stomach due to nerve damage caused by fluctuating blood sugar. Here are symptoms of gastroparesis:
• Feeling full quickly after eating
• Abdominal pain, bloating, or nausea
• Undigested food in vomit
• Weight loss due to poor food absorption
Tips to manage gastroparesis:
• Eat smaller, more frequent meals: 4-5 smaller meals are easier to digest than 2-3 large ones.
• Avoid irritants: Limit fatty, fried, and cheesy foods.
• Add fiber: Fruits, vegetables, and whole grains aid digestion.
• Skip fizzy drinks: They bloat and cause discomfort.
• Quit smoking and limit alcohol: Both worsen stomach issues.
• Control blood sugar levels: Crucial for managing gastroparesis.
Note: Be aware of key diabetes symptoms: excessive thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, weight loss, genital itching, blurred vision.
What are the other causes of stomach pain after eating?
Stomach pain after eating can be caused by various factors, including:
• Food Allergy or Intolerance: Food allergies and intolerances can lead to symptoms such as gas, bloating, cramping, and diarrhea, resulting in stomach pain after eating.
• Gastritis: Inflammation of the stomach lining can cause stomach pain, sickness, vomiting, and indigestion.
• Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD): IBD causes the gut to become inflamed and can lead to stomach pain and other symptoms.
• Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): Acid reflux or GERD can cause pain after eating, along with symptoms such as heartburn, nausea, and a burning sensation in the throat.
• Overeating or Difficult-to-Digest Foods: Consuming large meals or foods that are difficult to digest can result in stomach pain.
• Infectious Pathogens: Viruses, bacteria, and toxic substances can cause stomach pain after eating.
• Digestive Problems: Indigestion, constipation, and diarrhea can also lead to abdominal pain after eating.

Magnesium is frequently utilized as a sleep supplement, but does it actually increase the duration or quality of your sleep? We examine how it impacts sleep and recovery data tracked by WHOOP, plus break down the basics of what magnesium is, how it works, how much to take, and possible side effects.
What is Magnesium?
Magnesium is a very common mineral that is essential for human health. It is something that all your cells and organs need, contributing to muscle, nerve, heart, and brain function, as well as building strong bones and regulating blood pressure and immune system activity. Many foods contain magnesium, and it is also readily available as a supplement. A popular use of magnesium supplements is to improve your sleep.
How Can Taking Magnesium at Night Help You Sleep?
Magnesium deficiencies have often been connected to sleep disorders and poor sleep, so if you’re not getting enough of it in your diet a magnesium supplement may aid your sleep. Additionally, magnesium can help your body relax. It works to inhibit the sympathetic (fight or flight) branch of your autonomic nervous system and promote parasympathetic (rest and digest) activity instead. Magnesium is also used as a treatment for restless leg syndrome, a condition that disrupts sleep for many people.
Benefits of Magnesium for WHOOP Members’ Sleep & Recovery
In an effort to quantify any potential sleep benefits of magnesium, we examined the data from WHOOP members when they report taking it. We learned that many of them see clear improvements in their sleep and recovery following magnesium supplements prior to bedtime. WHOOP members average 15 more minutes of sleep per night when they use magnesium, as well as 2% more REM sleep. They also wake up the next morning with an average recovery 8% higher.

WHOOP MEMBERS Average more sleep and higher recovery after taking magnesium.
We took possible confounding factors into account during this analysis to control for other sleep-promoting behaviors (like meditation before bed or a sound machine when sleeping) that you might also engage in while taking magnesium. In general, we found a greater increase in average sleep time for men (+16 minutes) as opposed to women (+ 9 minutes), and also diminishing benefits around age 40. WHOOP members between 40 and 60 years old saw no improvement in average time asleep.
Magnesium Dosage, Risks & Potential Side Effects
Recommendations for the proper dosage of magnesium to take before bed vary, and they are often slightly higher for men than women. For the most part, something in the range of 200-350 milligrams is the suggested amount. Taking too much magnesium can cause the following:
• Cramping
• Nausea
• Diarrhea (with magnesium oxide in particular)
• Irregular heartbeat (from very high intakes)
Magnesium supplements may also interfere with certain medications. Additionally, putting more magnesium into your body than it needs can lead to magnesium toxicity, with possible symptoms including low blood pressure, muscle weakness, and vomiting.
Magnesium for Sleep vs Melatonin
Magnesium and melatonin are often part of the same conversation when it comes to sleep aids, but they are two very different things. While magnesium is a mineral that assists numerous processes in your body, melatonin is a hormone which contributes to regulating your sleep and circadian rhythm. Generally speaking, magnesium helps your body relax and melatonin supports falling asleep faster. Many experts advise trying melatonin first before experimenting with magnesium. Some people may choose to use both simultaneously, especially to combat insomnia. READ MORE: How Much Does Melatonin Help You Sleep?
Track How Magnesium Affects Your Sleep with WHOOP
WHOOP has a journal feature that lets you log when you take magnesium prior to sleep, as well as the dosage (and also many other choices and behaviors that can benefit or hurt your sleep). Alongside state-of-the-art sleep tracking, WHOOP uses this data to offer you actionable insights as to which behaviors improve or detract from your sleep and next-day recovery.

Matawan NJ Bunion Care
Bunion Care in Matawan
Do you have pain and stiffness in your big toe? That may not have seemed like a terrible problem at first, but as it persists, toe pain can be a real concern. If you’ve been diagnosed with a bunion from a Matawan NJ podiatrist, you likely also have a bony protrusion on the side of your foot, at the base of your big toe. The big toe is then pushing against the inner toe.
It looks like this because there is a misalignment of one of the bones in your feet. Specifically, a bunion is caused when the first metatarsal bone bends so it points outward. This causes the big toe to point inward. Now, the joint for the metatarsal bone is pointing outward, bent awkwardly, and causing pain.
Treatment Options in Matawan NJ for Bunions
In extreme cases, surgery may be needed. It isn’t indicated for aesthetic reasons, but only to correct the issue of pain if you are having a difficult time walking and participating in daily activities. This is a solution people turn to only when at-home treatments have failed to ease the symptoms enough for them to live their daily lives.
Let’s look at what you can do with the help of a podiatrist for treatments on your own.
Avoid standing on your feet for prolonged periods, if at all possible. If you’re on your feet for a while, attempt to schedule healthy breaks when you put your feet up to relieve the pressure.
You can find a gel-filled pad to wear inside your shoes. They sell these at most pharmacies or shoe stores but are also easy to find online. This will better cushion the foot, which will ease any hard movements against the joints.
Get shoe inserts that will keep your foot in a healthy position. There are over-the-counter inserts you can buy, or meet with your podiatrist to get a custom-made orthotic. This will always give you the best results since it will be shaped to your individual needs.
You can wear a splint at night to hold the toes straight. This can lead to some relief during the day, as the foot has used the night to better recover. You’ll need to talk to your podiatrist before doing this.
You can take over-the-counter pain relief medication, like ibuprofen.
Pain relief habits like a foot massage, ice packs, and soaking your feet in warm water for ten minutes in the evenings can all help you take care of your foot pain.
If your weight has gotten high, maintaining a healthier weight can relieve some of the pressure on your feet.
The most important thing you can do for bunion care is to wear roomy footwear. While we know that bunions tend to run in families, women indeed suffer from bunions at a much higher rate than men. They tend to have a history of wearing shoes that are too tight, putting pressure on the bones in the feet. Wearing a shoe with a lot of room in the toe box will relieve pressure, which will cause you less pain and prevent the misalignment from becoming worse.
Your best guide to taking care of your bunions, preventing them from getting worse, and supporting you whenever you have pain problems, is a podiatrist. They are specialists in everything that happens inside your foot and ankle. With Central Jersey Ankle & Foot Care Specialists on your side, you will always have someone you can consult when you have a new issue and you will have someone who can track the progress of your bunions over time. Check-in with your Matawan NJ podiatrist if you have questions about your foot health.
