Profiles in Chemoprotection, Part I
Posted April 4, 2019 by Teresa Johnson Thomas Wells Kensler, PhD In a makeshift greenhouse comprised of steel growing racks, plastic tarps, and a portable electric space heater, …colleagues Jed Fahey and Tom Kensler grew broccoli sprouts for a clinical trial to gauge sulforaphane bioavailability in humans. It was the winter of 2003 in rural China, and bitterly cold. The duo watered the sprouts every two hours, risking electrocution, freezing, and flooding.
Last Dance
(5 minute read) As Basel walked toward me, he swayed, listing slightly to his left. His face contorted into a crooked smile. Just a few weeks earlier, I’d heard that he “got his feet all tangled up” and fell, requiring eight staples in his head, but his injury had since healed. He shook my hand. That’s when I noticed a subtle pulsing in his grip – what doctors refer to as “milkmaid’s grip,” the alternate contraction and relaxation of the tiny muscles in his hand.
The Sadists Among Us
In the early morning darkness of the moss-draped forests of the Florida Panhandle, teenager Bob Baxter hobbled down a dusty, one-lane gravel road. Blood soaked the back of his jeans and trickled down into his coarse leather shoes. A few hours earlier, he’d been caught running away from the Florida Industrial School for Boys, a reform school in the small, Jackson County town of Marianna. His punishment: a beating with a wooden paddle. “I got twenty-five or twenty-six licks,” recalls Baxter.
10 Facts About Endometriosis
Eye-popping pain. Bloating. Heavy periods. Infertility. These are all symptoms of endometriosis, a chronic ailment that is believed to affect up to one in 10 women between the ages of 15 and 49. It can also take a serious toll on patients' mental health. Here's what you need to know about this condition. 1. THE NAME DOESN'T REVEAL MUCH ABOUT THE CONDITION. Endometriosis, or endo, for short, gets its name from endometrium—the thin layer of tissue that lines a woman's uterus.
13 Facts About Vertigo
It comes on suddenly. You feel like you're spinning—or maybe the world is spinning around you. Your stomach heaves, and you hold onto something so you don't fall. This is vertigo, a hallucination of motion—a mismatch between reality and the signals your eyes, inner ears, and sense of touch are sending your brain. Vertigo is a symptom, not a disease—an indication that something is wrong in the body—and it's surprisingly common. Here's what you need to know about the condition. 1.
What Is Gluten?
In casual conversation, people often use the word theory to mean "hunch" or "guess": If you see the same man riding the northbound bus every morning, you might theorize that he has a job in the north end of the city; if you forget to put the bread in the breadbox and discover chunks have been taken out of it the next morning, you might theorize that you have mice in your kitchen. In science, a theory is a stronger assertion.
Could Aliens Ever Spot Earth?
Gluten is one of the most talked about topics in nutrition today—a quick googling yields more than 280 million results—and nearly everyone has an opinion on it. In 2014, talk show host Jimmy Kimmel summed up L.A.'s consensus on the subject: "It's comparable to Satanism." But despite the mother lode of information (and misinformation) available, few people actually know what it is. Mental Floss spoke to a pair of experts about this misunderstood substance. Here's the lowdown.
The anti-vaccine movement started with whooping cough, not measles.
In 1984, Alice and Brian Lemar filed a lawsuit against the makers of the vaccine that Sarah received. Evidence came from many sources, including the timeline, the testimony of several physicians, and the results of genetic testing that ruled out a family history of seizure disorders. But the most incriminating evidence came from the state of Tennessee. In the early 1980s, Tennessee health departments kept meticulous records of vaccine lot numbers and manufacturers.
