Tai Chi For Seniors: Exercises, Benefits, and Tips For The Elderly
Tai chi, a form of Chinese martial arts that focuses on slow, controlled movements. It’s low impact and gives people with limited mobility a chance to improve their balance, range of motion and coordination.

The Price of Progress
By ANISH KOKA, MD
No one knows who Bennie Solis is anymore.
He had the misfortune of being born in the early 1960s marked for death. He had a rare peculiar condition called biliary atresia – a disease defined by the absence of a conduit for bile to travel from his liver to his intestinal tract. Bile acid produced in the liver normally travels to the intestines much like water from a spring travels via ever larger channels to eventually empty into the ocean. Bile produced in the liver with no where to go dams up in the liver and starts to destroy it.
That the liver is a hardy organ was a fact known to the ancient Gree...

What Are the Consequences of Big Tech Entering the Healthcare Market?

Healthcare constitutes a very large portion of the U.S. economy so it won't be ignored by tech giants such as Apple, Google, Microsoft, and even Facebook. A recent article addressed this specific question (see:How Big Tech Is Going After Your Health Care). It's long so read the whole article if interested. Below is an excerpt from it:Apple, Google, Microsoft and other tech giants have transformed the way billions of us communicate, shop, socialize and work. No...

The 1000th Thread!
This is the 1000th presentation to my bioethics blog since starting on Google Blogspot.com in 2004.There has been many topics covered.

View Original Article Here: How Long Does Shingles Last In The Elderly?
Shingles is a viral infection that follows a varicella-zoster infection, although it can take decades for symptoms of the secondary disease to emerge. The condition presents as a painful and blistering rash, but it is not life-threatening.
According to the Center for Disease Control, there are nearly one million cases in the United States each year, and almost half of those cases are in older adults over age 60.
