Data Democracy! ‘Dr. Google’ (2023) Vs. ‘Every Man His Own Physician’ (1767)
BY MICHAEL MILLENSON
In the 18th-century, a pre-Google guide offered democratization of medical information
In 1767, as American colonists’ protestations against “taxation without representation” intensified, a Boston publisher reprinted a book by a British doctor seemingly tailor-made for the growing spirit of independence.
Talk about “democratization of health care information,” “participatory medicine” and “health citizens”! Every Man His Own Physician, by Dr. John Theobald, bore an impressive subtitle: Being a complete collection of efficacious and approved remedies for every disease...

Credit: Zofeen Ebrahim/IPS By Zofeen EbrahimKARACHI, Jul 6 2023 (IPS) The first thing you notice about eight-month-old Manahil Zeeshan is how tiny she looks on the adult-size hospital bed at the government-run Sindh Institute of Child Health and Neonatology (SICHN) in Korangi, a neighbourhood in Karachi.

Can eccentric cycling be used to treat patellar tendinopathy?
Introduction Eccentric exercise (EE) is a primary evidence-based intervention for treating patellar tendinopathy (PT).1 Specifically, EEs (ie, decline squats, drop squats) are typically prescribed for patients with PT to alleviate pain and dysfunction associated with mechanical loading of the patellar tendon.1 2 While successful, current EE protocols are considered time-consuming and require highly motivated patients.3 Here, we propose that eccentric cycling (EC) may be a novel approach to treating PT and could address certain limitations associated with current EE protocols. Current practice using eccentric exercise proto...
