How To Deal With Depression After Divorce: 5 Actionable Tips
In my profession as a divorce coach, I work with people experiencing situational depression all the time. The biggest difference between situational depression and clinical depression is that situational depression is caused by a loss like death or divorce.
Most people going through divorce experience some degree of situational depression as part of the normal grieving process over all the losses the end of the marriage brings.
If not dealt with appropriately, situational depression can linger for much longer than it needs to. I don’t want that to happen to you.
Because I want you to recover from your divorce d...

Nyxoah Implant for Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Snoring
Nyxoah, a Belgian-Israeli firm, has developed an implantable device that may offer a brand new treatment option for managing obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and snoring that can muffle passing trains. Positive airway pressure (PAP) is probably the most common way of treating OSA, but it requires wearing a face mask connected by a hose to an air pump. All kinds of ingenuity has been invested into making these masks more comfortable and less intrusive, but the hose remains and it can feel unnatural to breathe through these devices.
Nyxoah’s solution is a tiny implant, surgically inserted in about 15 minutes at the back...

Yet another incompetent regulator. The General Pharmaceutical Council is criminally negligent
Conclusions
The main conclusion from all of this is that the General Pharmaceutical Council is almost criminally negligent. It continues to allow pharmacists, Anthony Pinkus among them, to endanger lives. It fails to apply its own declared principles. The members of its Council, and Duncan Rudkin (its chief executive and registrar), are not doing their job.
Individual pharmacists vary a lot, from the superb to those who believe in quackery. Some, perhaps many, are embarrassed by the fact that their employer compels them to sell rubbish. It’s too much to expect that they’ll endanger their mortgage payments by sp...

Capnostream 20p Bedside Monitor Unveiled by Covidien
Covidien has launched the Capnostream 20p bedside capnography monitor, a device that features Apnea-Sat Alert algorithm that, as the name implies, sounds an alarm if the patient stops breathing or oxygen saturation levels drop in the blood.
The device could be particularly useful in PACUs and post-operative care floors, as well as in critical care units. According to Scott Kelley, M.D., Chief Medical Officer, Respiratory and Monitoring Solutions at Covidien, “studies show that as many as 88% of hospitalized patients may be at risk for recurrent apneas, yet we’re only identifying and treating a very small number. The C...

A Quiet, Subdued Moment in Time…
Maggie's on the bed sound asleep snoring with abandon. She’s had her some chicken strips and is down for the count this evening with a very full belly. She looks like she is about to pop. I want to go poke her just to aggravate her like we as kids would do. Joni Mitchell's Turbulent Indigo is playing ever so softly over my computer’s gargantuan surround speakers at the moment. I love that song Sunny Sunday. ♫That one little victory is all she needs.♫ Charlie and my father have just left for the day. Horsefly and I both got the chicken finger meals from KFC tonight. I also wanted potato wedges in my to-go box...

Beddit Wakes Up Indiegogo with Novel Sleep Sensor (INTERVIEW)
There’s a new sleep tracker on the market, and this one prides itself that it is not a wearable. Beddit is a Finnish company that is applying the not-widely-known technology of ballistocardiography to track a person’s breathing rhythm and sleep quality, among other features. With a little over a day left in its Indiegogo campaign, Beddit has already raised an impressive $400,000, or 5 times its (in retrospect) modest goal of $80,000. We had the opportunity to speak with Beddit’s Co-founder and CEO, Lasse Leppäkorpi, about the technology, its use cases, and why he believes Beddit will succeed where other...

A physician declares a wheat-free success–from Cyprus!
A physician from the island of Cyprus posted these telling comments:
I am wheat and gluten free since the end of January, 2013. I suffer from type II diabetes, which was controlled with difficulty and I could not lose weight. I had acid reflux issues day & night, I was snoring every night, I could not sleep on my tummy, I had pain in several joints and I was suffering from diarrhea almost on a daily basis with tummy aches. (Gastroenterologists thought it was stress related.)
After the first long and hard weekend of removing wheat and gluten from my diet (headaches, agitation, arthritic pain), most of these issues res...

Midnight
Maggie’s sound asleep on the bed and snoring softly. The little cherub. It’s quiet in here except for her sleeping and the whisper like whir of the fans in my computer case. Occasionally, I will clear my throat softly. I made the mistake of taking a very long nap this afternoon thus my being up at midnight. I think I slept from two in the afternoon to five pm. I just couldn’t fight the sleepiness any longer and succumbed. Charlie and my father came by this afternoon. Charlie brought a box of Popeye’s shrimp and biscuits and dad brought a Helen-to-go plate. They were both cackling and bickering like a married couple...

The honeymoon period is long over; I've worked with this person in a boss-capacity for going on two years now.This boss, unlike the last boss, does not say things like "All vasoactive drugs are the same" and "I don't see why you're worried about your skills; you're a critical-care-trained nurse, right?" and "*I* had to work a whole twelve hours twice this week, so why can't *you* come in for a couple of extra shifts?"All of which are verbatim from Old Boss...

Maggie is not in a State of Flux
Like I said earlier in my last post, I am in a state of flux as far as my sleeping habits go sleeping willie nilly. Well, this morning about 4am I was sound asleep. I was probably sounding like an old horn-blower snoring. Maggie was having none of it. She got on the bed and started making all kinds of weird Maggie noises. She was determined to go on her morning walk come hell or high water. I would become semi-conscious and she would redouble her efforts. Needless to say, she got her walk this morning even if it was abbreviated. I have never met a more determined soul than she. We looked like that dude to the l...
