“PictureWhat” ??? Super-Human Poison Ivy. What’s Going On?
By MIKE MAGEE
Connecticut loves its’ trees. And no town in Connecticut loves its’ trees more than West Hartford, CT. The town borders include an elaborate interconnected reservoir system that does double duty as a focal point for a wide range of nature paths for walkers, runners and cyclists.
While walking one path yesterday, I came a tree with the healthiest upward advancing vine I had ever seen. My “PictureThis” app took no time to identify the plant. To my surprise, it was Toxicodendron radicans, known commonly as Poison Ivy.
The description didn’t pull punches. It read, “In pop culture, poison ivy ...

The illness of William Soutar (1898 –1943)
AbstractWilliam Soutar (1898 –1943) was a Scottish poet, but many are unaware of his scholarly work which includes his famous “brain-rhymes”. He was born in Perth Scotland in 1898. He was educated at Perth Primary School and Perth Academy and proved to be adept at sport and academics. In 1916, he joined the Royal Navy.

Academy of Plant-based Physical Therapy: overdue to address a nutrition crisis with a transformative population approach
J Phys Ther Sci. 2023 Sep;35(9):645-658. doi: 10.1589/jpts.35.645. Epub 2023 Sep 2.ABSTRACTThis timely evidence synthesis supports the need for an Academy of Plant-based Physical Therapy. Given epidemiological and empirical evidence and the profession's values and practice scope, the time has come for a specialty of plant-based physical therapy based on population health principles. This review connects these factors. Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are largely nutrition-related resulting from unnatural elements of our diet (i.e., heart disease, several cancers, hypertension, stroke, diabetes, obesity, gastrointestinal di...

As cannabis laws relax, neuroscientist warns of its dangers for developing brain
One morning in June, barely 5 months after the first dispensary for recreational cannabis opened in New York state, neuroscientist Yasmin Hurd spoke via Zoom to an audience of educators and specialists who work with or run programs for children. The session’s organizers, alarmed by how many children in their South Bronx community were now getting their hands on cannabis, had sought Hurd’s expertise on the drug’s effects.
Hurd put up a slide of the human brain, its bumps and grooves tinged blue, green, yellow, and red to indicate the distribution of the receptors to which tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoact...

Too Little Sleep Destroys DNA?
I talk to my patients about the danger of not sleeping all the time. Unfortunately, it’s a common problem that affects 75 million Americans.
People who don’t sleep, or sleep poorly, have up to 400% more accidents that those who get a good night’s rest. Not getting enough sleep also increases your risk of developing chronic diseases.
Studies, including a large meta-analysis of 470,000 adults, found that those who slept less than six hours developed a:1,2,3,4,5
48% increase in the incidence of coronary heart disease
30% increased risk of dementia
15% increase in the incidence of stroke
50% cancer risk
17% higher risk ...

J Am Acad Orthop Surg. 2023 Aug 21. doi: 10.5435/JAAOS-D-23-00342.

Procedures include ligament repair and reconstruction, especially anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, meniscal débridement, repair and transplant, periarticular osteotomy, and cartilage restoration. Multimodal analgesia regimens have been implemented successfully, but notable variation characterizes current protocols. Increased public and phys...
