LONG NOTES:
Science 1 Sept pg 944 – Unanswered questions about obesity! Almost nothing is known about the causes of obesity, or what one can do about it. Chronic stress seems to be an important contributor. Maternal obesity and diet may epigenetically alter children to become obese, the epigenome may play a role.
J Nutr: Sept Dietary calcium and magnesium are important for bone, perhaps not independently. The Ca:Mg intake ratio appeared most protective within a range of 2.2–3.2, suggesting that a balance of these nutrients may be considered in recommendations for osteoporosis. [Note calcium supplements would wreck this dietary ratio]
Reader question: Can stem cell treatment replace knee surgery? This is for informational purposes only. This information does not constitute medical advice or diagnosis. Stem cell therapy is a non-invasive alternative to knee replacement surgery for many patients with arthritis.
It uses stem cells that are naturally found in adult bone marrow and fat.
The therapy is considered safe and effective.
It is also less risky than joint replacement surgery because it uses autologous cells, which eliminates the risk of allergic reactions or the body rejecting the regenerated tissue.
Stem cell therapy costs about one-third of the cost of knee replacement surgery. Patients who have had stem cell therapy have reported an average of 67% overall improvement. They have also experienced an 84.31% decrease in resting pain, a 61.95% decrease in active pain, and a 55.68% increase in functionality score.
“Why We Sleep” by Matthew Walker is a book that summarizes scientific research on sleep. The book explains how sleep can improve learning, mood, and energy levels, and how it can help prevent cancer, Alzheimer’s, and diabetes. Walker also provides strategies to overcome the risks associated with a sleep-deprived society.
Brain stimulation eases ADHD symptoms. In a small clinical study, Israeli and UK researchers found non-invasive brain stimulation improved the condition of 55% of unmedicated ADHD children aged 6-12. Only 17% of the placebo control group improved. 64% of the treated children retained the improvement weeks later.
Marijuana is now 4 times stronger than it was 8 years ago because of breeding more potent weed.
