Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Oh lord. The overarching authority for my place of work just did something so boneheadedly STUPID, even I'm surprised. Yeah, it is SUCH a good idea to block all internet traffic coming from one of your largest facilities that works with ours. @@
I should have gone to bed much earlier than I did last night.
bon, I saw that tv thing. It was good. And spooky.
Heh, just thought of that myself (what ita posted and I edited).
bon, what's your tag about?
I knew there was something familiar about it.
Happy Birthday, Steph!
Oh, I love that part! Girl is very funny.
It was so great where she's describing Clay announcing to the crowd that she was there, and her husband immediately grabbing her arm and saying "We have to leave NOW!"
I was also thrilled to hear a couple weeks ago that Kathy and Matt reconciled.
Yousef Mohammad, a neurologist at OSU Medical Center who presented the results, says that the patients in this study reported a significant reduction in nausea, noise and light sensitivity post treatment.
"Perhaps the most significant effect of using the TMS device was on the two-hour symptom assessment, with 84 percent of the episodes in patients using the TMS occurring without noise sensitivity. Work functioning also improved, and there were no side effects reported," Mohammad said.
The stimulator sends a strong electric current through a metal coil, which creates an intense magnetic field for about one millisecond. This magnetic pulse, when held against a person's head, creates an electric current in the neurons of the brain, interrupting the aura before it results in a throbbing headache.
"The device's pulses are painless. The patients have felt a little pressure, but that's all," said Mohammad, who is principal investigator of the study at Ohio State .
"In our study sample, 69 percent of the TMS-related headaches reported to have either no or mild pain at the two-hour post-treatment point compared to 48 percent of the placebo group. In addition, 42 percent of the TMS-treated patients graded their headache response, without symptoms, as very good or excellent compared to 26 percent for the placebo group. These are very encouraging results."
67 percent of the TMS-treated patients reported their fealty to Clovis the Bunny, versus 2 percent of the placebo group.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, O TEPALICIOUS ONE!!!!!
From the Department of Duhhhhhhhhhhh, Scientists recommend you not use your cell phone outside during a thunderstorm.
Esprit and other doctors at the hospital added in a letter to the British Medical Journal that usually when someone is struck by lightning, the high resistance of the skin conducts the flash over the body in what is known as a flashover.
But if a metal object, such as a phone, is in contact with the skin it disrupts the flashover and increases the odds of internal injuries and death.
You know, just in case people were thinking it was a good idea to be outside during a lightning storm holding a metal antennae against your head.
