NATO ’s Rogue Member Meddles in Another Conflict
Ted Galen CarpenterThis week,armed clashes erupted between the forces of Armenia and Azerbaijan, exacerbating already serious tensions in the Caucasus.The underlying reason for the latest incident is the long ‐​standing struggle between the two countries for control of Ngorno‐​Karabakh.That ethnically Armenian region is legally part of Azerbaijan, but Armenia assumes responsibility forguaranteeing the minority enclave ’s self‐​declared political independence. The inherently unstable arrangement has led to several previous outbreaks of violence over the past three decades, but the latest incident seems especia...

Having a baby at home using the Malpani Baby Self Insemination Kit
 One of my patients directed me to theMosie Baby Kit on the Mosie Baby website, and I was very impressed. This is a kit which has been designed by an infertile couple, so they could do a self insemination for themselves , and it ’s far better than using a turkey baster, but I think it's extremely expensive. At about 89 US dollars for a single kit ( which allows for only two inseminations in one cycle, it’s not something which Indian couples will be able to afford.Our kit is much less expensive - and allows for 3 inseminations per cycle !Also, while they provide specially designed syringes for handling the sem...

An Old NATO Nightmare Returns: Possible War between Greece and Turkey
Ted Galen CarpenterU.S. and other Western leaders have longworried about what to do if an armed conflict ever erupted between two NATO members.Rapidlyrising tensions between Greece and Turkey, primarily involving a maritime dispute over oil, natural gas, and other resources under the eastern Mediterranean, have brought that nightmare to the surface once again.Germany ’s Foreign Minister, Heiko Maas,warned both governments in late August against further military escalation. “Fire is being played with and any small spark could lead to catastrophe,” he stressed.The heart of the North Atlantic Treaty is Article 5, w...

Wondering about goosebumps? Of course you are
They go by different names: goosebumps, goose pimples, goose flesh, and my personal favorite, goose bumples. The medical term is cutis anserine (cutis means skin and anser means goose). I guess the similarity in texture is just too close to goose skin to ignore. Other medical terms for goosebumps are horripilation, piloerection, or the pilomotor reflex. Each of these terms describes a temporary change in the skin from smooth to bumpy, most commonly developing after exposure to cold. Many people associate goosebumps with fear, or perhaps more accurately, with horror. Perhaps that’s why a popular series of children’s hor...

2020: Jumanji Or Dystopia
“There’s No Going Back to ‘Normal’”, crudely proclaims the headline of a June piece from The Atlantic. “The Terrible Consequences of Australia’s Uber-Bushfires” reads a recent Wired article. One of our own April articles was titled “Will Medical Workers Deal With PTSD After COVID-19?”. If it wasn’t clear, an article published earlier this year in The Conversation rightly asks: “Are we living in a dystopia?”.  Indeed, what was once relegated to the fertile minds of fiction novelists has become daily occurrences. Many are drawing similarities to “prophetic” works of fiction such as the c...

COVID-19 and Fame
Ask anybody on the planet, “What do Tom Hanks, Boris Johnson, and Prince Charles have in common?” and they will instantly shout – “Corona.” Ask these same people, “Who were the three Prime Ministers that died of Coronavirus last month?” Few will respond, “Well…there was Nur Hassan Husein from Somalia, Mahmoud Jabril from Libya and Joachim Yhombi-Opango from Congo – who died (respectively) in London, Cairo, and Paris.” As of May 4, no fewer than eleven movie stars had contracted COVID-19, nine with fatal results. Other victims include retired Commanders of the Turkish and Polish Armies, a well...
