The system allows a clinician to visualize the needle traveling through tissue in real time. Tracking the needle path in this way is intended to improve the success rate and reduce the chance of complications in such procedures.
Lumbar punctures are used to diagnose several diseases,
including multiple sclerosis and meningitis. However, they aren’t always
straight-forward, with certain patients posing a unique challenge to clinicians
because of the...

Ironies (if that's the right word) . . .
I have some complicated thoughts about the problem that is convulsing the world.

Here is the first complication that many people do not want to confront. The idea of " flattening the curve, " ceteris paribus, still means that the number of people who will ...

Florida Avoids E ‑Verify Mandate — for Now
Alex NowrastehGovernor DeSantis has been pushing Florida ’s legislature to enact an E‑Verify mandate for all new hires as a way to “turn the spigot off the incentive that drives illegal immigration, ” as state Senator Joe Gruters said.So far, state legislators have resisted his efforts and watered down any potential bill that could pass —exempting some small businesses and agriculture. There was then a fierce debateover the exemptions and whether they should stand as the legislature has decided to pause briefly. The compromise bills are better than a mandate, but E ‑Verify should be rejecte...

How to Stop Being a People Pleaser: 7 Powerful Habits
“You wouldn’t worry so much about what others think of you if you realized how seldom they do.”
Eleanor Roosevelt
“When you say “yes” to others, make sure you aren’t saying “no” to yourself.”
Paulo Coehlo
When you get stuck in the habit of being a people pleaser then that can have a sneaky and negative effect.

Massachusetts DPH Destroys Its Own Justification for the Emergency E-Cigarette Ban
The Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH), via a vote by the Public Health Council, has rescinded its emergency ban on the sale of electronic cigarettes which was issued on September 25. When the ban was implemented in September, the Department ' s rationale was that since we don ' t know what is causing the outbreak, there may be e-cigarettes that could be involved. Therefore, to protect the public ' s health, we need to ban the sale of e-cigarettes.In rescinding the emergency order, DPH stated that the cause of the outbreak remains unknown. So by its own rationale which it invoked on September 25, there could s...

HUBZones: Republican Central Planning
Chris EdwardsOne of the more ill-advised federal activities is trying to micromanage local economies with tax and spending programs. Democrats tend to favor subsidies on things such as public housing and community development, while Republicans often support both spending programs and narrow tax breaks.The Republican Opportunity Zone program enacted in 2017 used capital gains tax rules to expand federal control over local economies. The program divided the nation between winner and loser investment zones, as I discusshere.Another GOP micromanagement scheme is HUBZones, which are the subject of anewWashington Post investiga...

Getting to universal health care (wonky)
Much sturm und drang has attached to Elizabeth Warren ' s reticence about the financing of a so-called Medicare for All program. So I ' ll tell you up front that the reason is the optical problem of raising taxes. She has said that total expenditures on health care for middle class people will be less, which is likely true or certainly can be. But some of what people are paying now they aren ' t even aware that they are paying. This takes the form of employer-provided health care, and that portion of state and federal tax revenues that goes to Medicaid and various subsidies for the health care system. The latter wouldn ' t...
