TBI- traumatic brain injury- NFL, US Armed Forces, Vehicular Accidents…
Diffuse Axonal Injury is among the most common types of brain injury. The axon (part of the neuron or nerve cell) , which expands during rapid acceleration/deceleration, develops kinks. The neuron may undergo repair- or totally disappear – at the location of the kink. Continue reading
Telemedicine is no longer the future for CHF patients
Telemedicine is no longer something for the future. For CHF (congestive heart failure), it seems we can reduce some 40% of hospital readmissions by incorporating this into our protocol. We can look for similar results with other maladies. Continue reading
New tests to discern Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
Traumatic Brain Injury affects 1.7 million people a year- mostly kids and troops. There is hope that a new test can diagnose these quickly- and accurately- to preclude tremendous damage. Continue reading

I_REALLY_WANT_2_TELL_U_SOMETHING
We complain that technology is running (ruining?) our lives. We have lost our ability to routinely “reach out and touch someone”- a tweet or an eMail won’t do. Drop a personal note, call the person, or just meet to say hi. Make your presence known- and let the other person know they count to you, too. Continue reading
A Followup to yesterday’s blog- about misleading headlines and articles
It’s amazing how different headlines are than the actual data or, even, the actual article. An example of a timely (but very misleading) article is culled from the media and analyzed. Continue reading
22.143% of Americans hop on one foot, twice a day…
