    Electrical stimulation of the brain might hold potential as a weapon against obesity, a small study suggests. The U.S. National Institutes of Health study found that stimulating the brain's prefrontal cortex caused people to eat less, consume fewer calories from soda and fat, and lose more weight.

    Shrinkrapradio is a podcasting site. You can find it on iTunes, but they don't have all 500+ shows in their archives like Dr. Dave does here. The interviews are fascinating and there are a huge range of topics to choose from. Most of the podcasts center around Jungian psychology. Clinicians can even earn CEU's for listening to certain podcasts.

How do beta blocker drugs affect exercise? - 1 views

  • Beta blockers are a type of cardiac medication prescribed after a heart attack or to treat abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias) and other conditions. They slow down your heartbeat, and that raises a common question about them: Do they affect your ability to exercise? 
  • Beta Blocker BasicsBeta blockers relieve stress on your heart by slowing the heartbeat. This decreases the force with which the heart muscle contracts and reduces blood vessel contraction in the heart, brain and throughout the body. They are prescribed under several common brand names, including Propranolol (Inderal), Metoprolol (Lopressor), Atenolol (Tenormin) Acebutolol (Sectral), Bisoprolol (Zebeta) and Nadolol (Corgard).
  • Beta blockers may be used to treat abnormal heart rhythms and to prevent abnormally fast heart rates called tachycardia, or irregular rhythms like atrial fibrillation. Since they reduce the demand of the heart muscle for oxygen, they may be useful in treating angina, or chest pain, which occurs when the oxygen demand of the heart exceeds the supply. Beta blockers improve survival after a heart attack and also are used to treat high blood pressure and other heart conditions.

  • “Your blood pressure and heart rate are similarly changed by exercise and beta blockers,” said Gerald Fletcher, M.D., Professor of Medicine at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida.  “When you become exercise-trained your heart slows and your blood pressure lowers.”
  • “Exercise hard – to the point of being tired – but not excessively hard,” Dr. Fletcher said. “If you reach a point where it is hard to talk, that is probably too much.”

    This is an incredible piece of technology that allows a paralyzed man to generate movements in his otherwise disabled arm/hand using only his thoughts! The electrodes attached to him actually pick up the signals created from his brain and reroute them around the damaged part of his spine to be received through the muscles in his arm. It's absolutely incredible!

    Just a few days earlier, a CDC researcher announced in the New England Journal of Medicine that another man's lung cancer was caused by the cancer of his tapeworm. That's right. The worst headache of Luis Ortiz's life was due to a "wiggling" tapeworm surgeons found inside a cyst inside his brain.
