*13 Reasons Why* and *Grey's Anatomy* Collide in This Bonkers … – Glamour

Posted: Published on April 14th, 2017

13 REASONS WHY PHOTO: Beth Dubber/Netflix 13 Reasons Why has been on Netflix for only two weeks, but Reddit's already flooded with fan theories. (It's truthfully astounding fans can even write theories after experiencing the show's gut-wrenching finale. I could barely think after watching the thirteenth episode.) Today's favorite hypothesis connects the Netflix sensation with a show that's been on the air since the Stone Age: Grey's Anatomy. Fans already know the obvious connection between these shows: Kate Walsh (who plays Hannah's mom on 13 Reasons Why) had tenures on both Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice as Dr. Addison Montgomery. But they may not remember the other 13 Reasons Why actor who appeared on Grey's: Dylan Minnette, who plays Clay Jensen. He's the subject of our theory. In a season four episode of Grey's Anatomy, Minnette plays a young kid named Ryan with hearing disabilities. Dr. Mark Sloan (Eric Dane) takes Ryan's case on and builds him a pair of ears that substantially improves his hearing. Now, 10 years later, Minnette stars as Clay Jensen on 13 Reasons Why, a character whose entire storyline is contingent on him listening intently to Hannah's 13 cassette tapes. The connection is obvious to … Continue reading →

US claims of Syria nerve gas attack: The anatomy of a lie – World Socialist Web Site

Posted: Published on April 14th, 2017

By Patrick Martin 13 April 2017 The claims by the US government that the Syrian government carried out a chemical weapons attack on the town of Khan Sheikhun, in southern Idlib province on April 4, have been backed by a week of nonstop media propaganda, as well as uncritical support, across the official political spectrum, for the missile strike ordered by President Trump against a Syrian base. The charges against the Syrian government are absurd and unbelievable. The campaign mounted by the Trump administration, the intelligence agencies, the Pentagon and the Democratic Party demonstrates complete contempt for the intelligence of the people, and a belief that they can lie with impunity, because nothing they say will be challenged by the servile American media. No lie is too great. If the US intelligence agencies declared tomorrow that Putin was responsible for an outbreak of tornadoes or a hurricane striking the US Gulf Coast, by means of a secret Russian program to alter the weather, their claims would be presented as the gospel truth by NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN and Fox, while the New York Times would publish a four-page investigative report, complete with maps and charts provided by the CIA. When … Continue reading →

Whiteout, Part 2: The anatomy of a ski death | PostIndependent.com – Glenwood Springs Post Independent

Posted: Published on April 14th, 2017

Part 2 of a three-part series. Kristine Gustafson wakes up each morning with the same thought: What really happened on Jan. 12, 2017? Late in the afternoon on a chilly but clear powder day, the Centennial resident, her close friend Sean Haberthier and three other skiers were standing at the top of Breckenridge Ski Resort's Peak 8 Contest Bowl. They stopped to take a break and appreciate the near-perfect conditions they had marked with fresh tracks the whole day. They all agreed to meet at the bottom of the E Chair before a final run to the base. Always the first one down, Haberthier was a conspicuous no-show, an instant red flag to the group. Calls to his cellphone went unanswered, and his friends began to worry. I feel we do a good job investigating accidental deaths and doing a comprehensive investigation, taking it all in and asking all the questions. Were not here to do autopsies for medical curiosity.Regan WoodSummit County coroner The 47-year-old lived to ski, for years making the 5 a.m. drive up to Summit or Vail from Denver most days during the winter to pursue his passion. It was not out of the ordinary for Haberthier … Continue reading →

Brain cell therapy offers hope for Parkinson’s patients – CBS News

Posted: Published on April 14th, 2017

Scientists from Sweden say they have made significant progress in the search for a new treatment for Parkinsons disease. Though the research, published in Nature Biotechnology, is still preliminary and the therapy not yet ready to be tested in humans, experts say it could one day help the millions of people living with the neurodegenerative disease. Researchers from the Karolinska Institute tested whether certain brain cells could be manipulated to take on the role of those destroyed by Parkinsons. Play Video The longest fight of Muhammad Ali's life was with Parkinson's disease. Even when the heavyweight champion was at his peak, signs of the disorder ... They first showed in laboratory experiments that it was possible to convert non-neural human brain cells called astrocytes into dopamine neurons, which degenerate and die in the brains of people suffering from Parkinsons disease. These are two specialized cells that do not spontaneously convert into one another, study author Ernest Arenas, a professor at Karolinska Institutes Department of medical biochemistry and biophysics, told CBS News. However, when we used diverse chemicals and genes important for the development of immature brain cells into functional dopamine neurons, we found that it was possible to convert astrocytes … Continue reading →

Parkinson’s Disease at 200 – Scientific American Blog Network – Scientific American (blog)

Posted: Published on April 14th, 2017

2017 marks 200 years since James Parkinson, an English apothecary, surgeon, geologist and sometime political activist, published a paper that defined his legacy. An Essay on the Shaking Palsy described a syndrome that caused wide-ranging problems that affected how people move, feel, speak, think and even look. This constellation of symptoms was probably as old as the human race, but Parkinson was the first to scientifically characterize it. Today we know it as his disease. Its estimated that five million people worldwide are currently living with Parkinson's disease, or PD, which we now know kills the neurons that produce dopamine (a critical chemical in brain function) among other changes in the brain. Most people get it around age 60, though it is also seen in people as young as their 20s. The disease is progressive, meaning that it gets inexorably worse over time, and many live with it for decades. Estimated prevalence numbers are likely on the low side because PD is frequently misdiagnosed and can lead to isolation and social withdrawal. Its interesting to imagine what Dr. Parkinson would think about what two centuries of scientific exploration have done to bring us closer to a cure for PD. On … Continue reading →

Medical malpractice lawsuit against St. Mary’s ends in mistrial – MyPalmBeachPost

Posted: Published on April 14th, 2017

WEST PALM BEACH The qualms of one juror blocked what could have been an eight-figure verdict for a former Wellington woman who has been in a permanent vegetative state since being treated at St. Marys Medical Center four years ago, an attorney for her family said Thursday. After a mistrial was declared last week in the multi-million medical malpractice case against the West Palm Beach hospital, four of the six jurors agreed to meet with the lawyers, said attorney Philip Gold, who represents 65-year-old Kwai Ling Chan-Leungs ex-husband, who is also her guardian. One juror admitted he refused to join the five others who agreed to a multi-million-dollar verdict against the hospital, Gold said. The lone holdout said he didnt think either side had proven exactly what caused Chan-Leungs catastrophic injuries, the lawyer said. During the roughly three-week trial, Gold argued that the hospital didnt have the proper equipment on hand when Chan-Leung was rushed into surgery in March 2013. She was brought to St. Marys in critical condition from Jupiter Medical Center after officials there agreed they were ill-equipped to deal with her brain hemorrhage. Attorney Michael Mittlemark, who represents the hospital, argued that Chan-Leungs condition was grave when … Continue reading →

Medicortex Finland is raising money through crowdfunding to revolutionize brain injury diagnostics in soldiers and army personnel This press release was orginally distributed by SBWire Turku, Finland -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/14/2017 -- There is a void of point-of-care test that help diagnose acute traumatic brain injuries on the battlefields. But a crowdfund effort aims to change that. The public can now participate in the crowdfunding campaign and help in the development of the diagnostic kit currently being developed by a Finish-based firm called Medicortex using Invesdor's crowdfunding portal: http://www.invesdor.com/medicortex. Medicortex is issuing shares with a goal of raising capital to match funding from the Finnish Funding Agency for Innovation (Tekes). TBI is an extremely serious and, unfortunately, increasingly common condition which, for combat veterans, is in most cases the direct result of the proximity to the concussive force of improvised explosive devices (IEDs), mortars, rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs) and other explosive weaponry. The symptoms of TBI which occur because of the head trauma include sleep disturbance, problems with concentration, ringing in the ears, nausea, and seizures. When left untreated, these symptoms can develop into more severe neurodegenerative conditions, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Due to the concussive blasts of IEDs in Afghanistan … Continue reading →
