The resident, who is cognitively intact, is upset. She is adamant that she is happy to take the risk of getting hurt to spend time with the dogs. (Source: Caring for the Ages)

Where do elbows and knees come from? Biologists track them back to our boneless, sharklike ancestors
Ask an older person where painful arthritis strikes and most will point to their joints—knees, hips, and fingers. That’s because as people age, those joints lose the cartilage and viscous fluid, known as synovial fluid, that keeps them supple. Sharks and skates have no bones—and no arthritis—but they apparently have the same kind of joints we do. Once thought to exist only in bony vertebrates, these so-called
synovial joints actually evolved in the much older ancestor of cartilaginous and bony fish
, researchers reported earlier this month in a preprint on bioRxiv.
“They very convincingly show tha...

A Test Told Me I ’m Basically Made of Plastic. You Probably Are Too
I might like to think of my body as a thing of bone and blood and tissue and water, but as I recently learned, it’s also a thing of plastic—home to an alarming amount of plastic toxins known as bisphenols. Used to manufacture mostly hard, durable plastics—such as water bottles and takeout containers—bisphenols are often found in the company of phthalates, which are used to make more flexible plastics such as raincoat linings, vinyl boots, and packing tape. Both types of chemicals are known to be hormone disruptors, leading to numerous health problems, including early puberty, obesity, heart disease,...
