6 Steps To Help You Genuinely Forgive
The boss makes a condescending comment. A jerk in a big SUV cuts you off. A best friend steals your girlfriend. A waitress ignores you. A coworker takes credit for your work. Your pulse picks up. Your mind races with progressively more unkind thoughts. You have been mistreated. You relive the situation over and over and cannot think of much else. You begin to think up ways to "get even." Accepting Imperfection We humans are, all in all, a pretty good lot. We can however, whether intentionally or not, get under each other's skin ... to offend and injure and even kill. We make mistakes ... both small ones and whoppers, for ...

Medical Research: The Best Investment We Can Make in Our Future
While the cure for cancer has been elusive, President Obama's National Cancer Moonshot initiative offers renewed hope that we could see breakthroughs in prevention, detection, and treatment for a disease that affects millions of Americans and their families. The cancer moonshot is the latest demonstration that Washington understands the potential for medical research to change lives and improve the health of all Americans. It builds on the bipartisan support we saw last fall when House and Senate negotiators agreed on a $2 billion budget increase for medical research through the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Today,...

Men From The South Are More Likely To Die From Smoking-Related Cancers
Smoking causes nearly 29 percent of all cancer deaths among Americans over the age of 35, according to a new analysis published in JAMA Internal Medicine. But that doesn’t tell the full story.
Men from the top five southern states skew this data, dying at a rate that’s 40 percent higher than the national average.
The higher proportion of cancer deaths attributable to smoking in the South isn’t simply because people in that region smoke more ― that distinction goes to the Midwest. Instead, experts say, the lack of funding for tobacco control programs means that there are less resources for people wh...

What Comes Next for the Dakota Access Pipeline
Supporters of the protests against the Dakota Access Pipeline celebrated the Obama administration’s decision Sunday not to approve a key permit allowing the pipeline’s builder to complete the project. The decision undoubtedly represents a significant victory for those gathered in North Dakota by the Standing Rock Indian Reservation, but the long struggle to block the pipeline remains far from over. The federal government did not definitively reject the path crossing the Missouri and instead chose to spend time—perhaps months or years—on further review, which will ultimately leave the final decision ...

Donald Trump's EPA Pick Is A Leading Foe Of Clean Water Laws
Given his nomination of Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt to lead the Environmental Protection Agency, it seems President-elect Donald Trump intends to deliver on a campaign promise to destroy a major environmental regulation ― one that’s meant to protect waterways that serve as a drinking water source for 1 in 3 Americans.
The likely result of that action, environmentalists fear, would be a U.S. water supply that’s dirtier and more prone to public health disasters.
The regulation, the “waters of the U.S.” Clean Water Rule, was introduced by the EPA and Army Corps of Engineers in 2015 wi...

Congress Votes To Kill Protections For Wolves, Bears On Alaska Refuges
WASHINGTON — With the stroke of his pen, President Donald Trump could allow for bears, wolves and other predators to once again be hunted in Alaska’s national wildlife refuges.
Following in the footsteps of their House colleagues, Senate lawmakers on Tuesday approved a measure to repeal an Obama-era rule that largely banned hunting of Alaska’s most iconic predators on more than 76 million federal acres.
The Republican-sponsored legislation would undo the Alaska National Wildlife Refuges Rule, ultimately opening the door for the state to resume aggressive predator control tactics, including shooting bea...

Environmentalists Vow To Fight Donald Trump's 'Dangerous,' 'Embarrassing' Climate Rollback
Environmentalists and former White House officials on Monday slammed President Donald Trump’s impending executive order that would undue much of the work his predecessor has done to combat climate change.
Trump was due to sign the Energy Independence Executive Order on Tuesday, which will target former President Barack Obama’s signature Clean Power Plan and open up federal land to coal development. But environmentalists are not giving up without a fight and plan to protest the wide-ranging order that has been met with fierce criticism.
Gina McCarthy, a former administrator of the Environmental Protection A...

Metabolism and Memory: Obesity, Diabetes, and Dementia
When Michelle Obama launched her Let ’s Move! campaign against childhood obesity in 2010, it came on the heels of data showing that 36% of U.S. adults and 17% of U.S children and adolescents were obese (1). The associated health risks outlined by Ms. Obama’s team reflected the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s consensu s, which emphasized a myriad of adverse outcomes ranging from cancer to arthritis to coronary artery disease. Among these public health messages, the neuropsychiatric consequences of obesity have narrowly focused on cerebrovascular disease, such as stroke, and the psychological consequences of stigm a.

The Grass Is Green for Medtech on the Emerald Isle
You don’t have to be a medtech veteran to have heard of Ireland’s ties to the industry. Still, even those who have spent years working in medical devices and diagnostics may be surprised to learn that 14 of the top 15 global medtech companies—including Boston Scientific, DePuy Synthes, Medtronic, Teleflex, and many more—have facilities in Ireland.
Why Ireland?
Just what is drawing medtech to Ireland? The country has gained recognition as a frequent target for corporate inversion deals that enable companies to fall under more favorable corporate tax rates, but a 12.5% tax rate is just part of what brings medtech com...

ReWalk ’s Momentum Continues with New Nod from FDA
ReWalk Robotics has secured a clearance from FDA for the ReStore soft exo-suit system. The Marlborough, MA and Yokneam Ilit, Israel-based company said exo-suit is intended for use in the treatment of stroke survivors with mobility challenges.
The ReStore system is comprised of a soft, garment-like design which connects to a lightweight waist pack and mechanical cables that help lift the patient's affected leg in synchronized timing with their natural walking pattern.
The patient wears the device in a waist pack, which holds two motors, each with a cable that goes down to the foot and ankle. The cables then extend to a foot...

How to Keep Alzheimer ’s From Bringing About the Zombie Apocalypse
I tried to kill my father for years. To be fair, I was following his wishes. He’d made it clear that when he no longer recognized me, when he could no longer talk, when the nurses started treating him like a toddler, he didn’t want to live any longer.
My father was 58 years old when he was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. He took the diagnosis with the self-deprecating humor he’d spent a lifetime cultivating, constantly cracking jokes about how he would one day turn into a zombie, a walking corpse. We had a good 10 years with him after the diagnosis. Eventually, his jokes came true.
Seven years ...
