The pain was excruciating. At age 13, Phipps began a daily dose of mor- phine that would make her sleep for 13 hours a night and force her to nod off in class. That was only the first in a long, ever-rotating line of medica- tions: baclofen to relax her muscles, Lyrica to dull nerve pain, metoprolol and gabapentin to counteract the vari- ous side effects and complications she developed. “If you [had gone] to my house, it [looked] like a dispensary,” she quips, with “20 bottles [of different medi- cines]. Bottles everywhere.” Phipps has a wry — some would say odd — sense of humor. She collects socks, though she has no feet. She loves inventing unlikely stories to explain her amputation: a bear attack, for instance, which “people always believe.” A short, slight girl with boyishly cut black hair and wire-frame glasses, Phipps could be an unassuming presence — if not for her jokes and her all-neon wardrobe. On the day we meet, at the office of her prosthetist in Northern Virginia, she’s wearing blindingly pink and yel- low sneakers and a matching backpack. That somewhat contrarian spirit served Phipps well in her quest to walk again.

World’s first implantable device to reduce high BP

ot been able to control blood pressure even Nafter gulping pills? Soon, an implantable device will reduce blood pressure by sending electrical signals to the brain. In a first, German researchers have successfully reduced the blood pressure in rats by 40 percent with this device without any major side effects. This could offer hope for a significant propor- tion of patients worldwide who do not respond to existing medical treatment for the condition. “As the device will require surgery, it will come into play when patients, for whatever reasons, are resistant to medication,” explained lead author Dennis Plachta from University of Freiburg, Germany. The implantable device uses an intelligent circuit to record the activity of the patient, Trendy workouts for instance when they are doing exercise, and adjust the blood pressure accordingly. The device consists of 24 individual electrodes rejuvenate old that are integrated into a micro-machined cuff. It is designed to wrap around the vagal nerve, which extends from the brainstem to the thorax and abdomen — supplying and stimulating various major fitness tools organs including the heart and major blood vessels. The device works by picking up signals from specific sensors, known as baroreceptors, which are activated when blood vessels stretch. These baroreceptors function to control short- term fluctuations in blood pressure. No major side effects, such as a significant decrease in heart rate or breathing rate, occurred in rats when the electrode sites closest to the baroreceptor By Dorene Internicola fibres were chosen for stimulation, said the study whose athletes also use medicine balls and even published in the Journal of Neural Engineering. water-filled kegs in their squats and presses.

And, just like in a crossword, some of the dark cells will contain numbers. Some cells will contain two numbers. However, in a crossword the numbers reference clues. In a kakuro, the numbers are all you get! They denote the total of the digits in the row or column referenced by the number. Within each collection of cells - called a run - any of the numbers 1 to 9 may be used but, like sudoku, each number may only be used once.
