Nutrition: Major Government Fail?
Chris EdwardsAmericans are getting used to failures by government experts. Government economists have a dismal forecasting record. Government actions and advice during the pandemic were often misguided. And dozens of former government intelligence experts got the Hunter Biden laptop storywrong.A less recognized but also important failure may be in nutrition. Federal experts appear to have issued faulty advice for decades, even as American obesityexploded from 15 percent in the 1970s to 42 percent today. Federal guidance on nutrition has a large influence on health practice across society. Some researchers argue that Am...

Localisation of Ventricular Tachycardia by Surface ECG
Surface ECG can be used to identify the site of origin of ventricular tachycardia. QRS morphologic patterns and vectors are helpful in discerning the activation pattern of the myocardium. Chest wall deformity as well as metabolic and drug effects can cause limitations in analysis sometimes [1]. Identification of site of origin of VT is useful while planning catheter ablation. It is also useful in correlating with the clinical situation as in post myocardial infarction scar related VT. Another instance is for correlation with findings on imaging modalities like echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging [2].

Learning new lessons from a stressful “ ST segment ”
This is the Incidental ECG of an apparently healthy 50-year-old businessman, recorded while applying for health insurance
How will you describe this ECG?
Let me magnify it for you
Why this big fuss about this ECG?
Such ECGs are so common. Looking at the ST segment, we are supposed to think of significant CAD,, LVH, Aortic stenosis or variants of cardiomyopathy, and sometimes electrolytic shifts. The fact that it is recorded at rest, and the patient is absolutely asymptomatic, it is very unlikely there is ongoing ischemia.It could be a myocardial origin or an unk...

The apolipoprotein E (ApoE) gene makes a protein which, when combined with fat, becomes a lipoprotein.The lipoprotein ApoE is a very low-density lipoprotein, responsible in part for removing cholesterol from the bloodstream. Variations in ApoE affect cholesterol metabolism, which in turn alter your chances of having heart disease and in particular a heart attack or a stroke. Variations in ApoE are also associated with altered odds of having Alzheimer's disease and other diseases.There are3 allelic variants of ApoE, as defined by two SNPs,rs429358 and rs7412 known as:- ApoE- ε2- ApoE- ε3- ApoE- ε4The proteins produced by...

Obesity is crippling the US, but there are solutions
By STEPHANIE TILENIUS
Well over a third of Americans are obese — and the percentage keeps growing at a staggering rate. Over the last twenty years, obesity prevalence grew from 30% to 42% of the US population and rates of severe obesity nearly doubled. If we don’t make serious changes to our healthcare system, it’s scary to think where we’re headed in a few short years.
The fact is, obesity is far from a cosmetic condition. It can be a devastating disease and was classified as such by the American Medical Association in 2013. Obesity is the leading risk factor for deadly diseases like type 2 diabetes, heart d...

Farm Bill 2023 and Obesity
This study found U.S. farm policies “have generally small and mixed effects on farm commodity prices, which in turn have even smaller and still mixed effects on the relative prices of more‐ and less‐fattening foods.”Farm subsidy/ nutrition issues are hotly debated, and I have not done a detailed research review. If Congress withdrew subsidies from corn, wheat, soybeans, and rice, would U.S. farming shift toward healthier fruits and vegetables? Are the subsidized crops and related oils a cause of obesity, and has the go vernment given Americans bad nutrition advice about these products for decades, asNina T...
