Pelvic Floor Party: Kegels are NOT invited. You now have permission to pee in the shower.

Pelvic Floor Party: Kegels are NOT invited.

Recently I met a woman who told me she used to be a runner. Naturally, I asked: Why don't you still run? The answer: "Because 60 hours of labor with my first child and a forceps delivery ruined my desire to run anymore. " To sum up for those who still may not infer the problem: She pees her pants when she picks up the pace. My friends and I joke about sneeze pee, jumping jack pee, trampoline pee, and other bladder challenges. Health Implications of Electromagnetic Fields, Mechanisms of Action, and Research Needs. Electromagnetic fields (EMF) have been implicated to influence a range of bodily functions.

Health Implications of Electromagnetic Fields, Mechanisms of Action, and Research Needs

Given their ubiquitous nature, widespread applications, and capability to produce deleterious effects, conclusive investigations of the health risks are critical. Accordingly, this paper has been constructed to weigh the bioeffects, possible biointeraction mechanisms, and research areas in bioelectromagnetics seeking immediate attention. The several gaps in the existing knowledge do not permit one to reach a concrete conclusion but possibility for harmful effects cannot be underestimated in absence of consistent findings and causal mechanisms. Several studies with appropriate methodologies reflect the capacity of electromagnetic radiations to cause adverse health effects and there are several credible mechanisms that can account for the observed effects. Lactate - Is it Everywhere in Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS)? Lactate (L-lactate) is an organic compound produced during anaerobic energy metabolism.

Lactate - Is it Everywhere in Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS)?

It’s constantly being formed – even when we are at rest – but is formed in higher quantities when ATP levels are low and anaerobic energy metabolism is high. Several forms of lactate are also produced by anaerobic bacteria in the gut. Lactate in small amounts is not bad – it actually reduces muscle fatigue – but the presence of high levels of lactate (lactic acid) signal that the anaerobic energy production process – which produces toxic metabolites that cause pain and fatigue – is in full bore. Lactic acidosis is a state of low pH accompanied by high lactate levels. It most commonly occurs in its temporary form after excessive exercise but is found in a more permanent form in people with illnesses which produce low oxygen levels (hypoxia/hypoperfusion) including heart or lung disease, sepsis, severe physical trauma, shock, Vit B deficiency, or interestingly enough, decreased blood volume. Oligodynamic effect. Mechanism[edit] The metals react with thiol (-SH) or amine (-NH(1,2,3)) groups of proteins, a mode of action to which microorganisms may develop resistance.

Such resistance may be transmitted by plasmids.[2] Use[edit] iPad generation's fingers not ready to write, teachers say. Posted 14 Nov 2017, 1:14amTue 14 Nov 2017, 1:14am Kindergarten and early primary teachers have aired their concerns that the rise of touchscreen devices means more children are starting school not ready to learn handwriting.

iPad generation's fingers not ready to write, teachers say

A Saturday morning discussion about the benefits of technology for children prompted Carolyn to send an SMS to ABC Radio Melbourne. A primary school teacher, Carolyn said she and her colleagues had noticed "a big decline in fine motor skills" among children arriving at prep and kindergarten. Surgery students 'losing dexterity to stitch patients' Image copyright Getty Images A professor of surgery says students have spent so much time in front of screens and so little time using their hands that they have lost the dexterity for stitching or sewing up patients.

Roger Kneebone, professor of surgical education at Imperial College, London, says young people have so little experience of craft skills that they struggle with anything practical.

The Likely Cause of Addiction Has Been Discovered, and It Is Not What You Think. It is now one hundred years since drugs were first banned — and all through this long century of waging war on drugs, we have been told a story about addiction by our teachers and by our governments.

The Likely Cause of Addiction Has Been Discovered, and It Is Not What You Think

This story is so deeply ingrained in our minds that we take it for granted. It seems obvious. It seems manifestly true. Until I set off three and a half years ago on a 30,000-mile journey for my new book, Chasing The Scream: The First And Last Days of the War on Drugs, to figure out what is really driving the drug war, I believed it too.

Your Alarm Clock May Be Hazardous to Your Health. One overlooked culprit in the world’s obesity epidemic may be the alarm clock, according to Till Roenneberg, a professor at the University of Munich’s Institute of Medical Psychology. He studies “social jet lag,” a term he coined, perhaps not surprisingly, on an airplane. But unlike the jet lag you get from shifting time zones, social jet lag is the chronic clash between what our bodies need (more sleep) and what our lives demand (being on time). And his research suggests that it’s playing havoc with our biological clocks.
