ESRD Needs Different Blood Pressure Management (from normal patients)
It turns out that the relationship between blood pressure management and mortality is very different for ESRD patients than for the population as a whole. First, systolic blood pressure has a more significant correlation (than diastole) with mortality. And, the relationship is U-shaped (higher mortality at low systolic pressures for older patients and higher mortality for high systole for younger patients; 140/90 seems acceptable for all age cohorts).

Still not walking? Your brain wants you to cover 6 miles every week!
Not only does walking, as an exercise, provide resistance against Parkinson’s disease, autoimmune disorders, and cancers, this new study shows it can preclude the loss of gray matter- and, more importantly, the loss of cognitive impairment. Continue reading
Hypobaric Treatments Proposed for Cardiac Patients (patent pending)
Dr. Simon Maybaum is leading a trial to determine if hypobaric conditions (simulated high altitude) can improve the lives of cardiac patients. It is hoped that this will mimic the same results obtained by athletes who train using these conditions- improved red cell mass, better oxygenation, and larger tidal volumes. Continue reading
Augmented Peripheral Vision in the Deaf Uses the Auditory Complex
It has long been thought that the loss of one sense leads to augmentation by another. Using deaf cats, it was shown that the auditory complex is used to provide extended peripheral vision for the deaf. Continue reading
Handwriting Counts- Our Brain Knows It!!!
I learned how to write from my Great-Grandfather (of blessed memory)- and have, on occasion, forgotten what that skill provides. New research demonstrates its ability to help us learn- and keep our brains fresh- at any age. Continue reading

Aging and Depression
As we age, we tend to manifest depression differently. This becomes even more important, because if we were fun-loving and outgoing when younger, our families and friends tend to miss the onset of depression. Continue reading
Let’s Get Moving- Exercise is critical for health AND disease therapy
We know that exercise provides both physical and emotional improvement. We can reduce our girth and aggression; but it can help treat and improve the lives of breast cancer survivors, Parkinson’s Disease sufferers, dialysis patients, and those with autoimmune diseases. Continue reading
