Starting Exercise as Late as Middle Age May Lower the Risk of Heart Failure
In my continuing deep dive into how much exercise is enough to stave off heart disease as we age, is this interesting study. It may help answer the question of how many years of exercise in middle age it takes to lower the risk of heart failure as we get older. I recently covered a…read more
What’s Possible with Stem Cell Cartilage Regrowth?
As you may have read some time ago, I got to experience what a cartilage lesion can be like in a young person when my son was 14. On a separate note, yesterday, I looked at the before and after MRIs of a twentysomething we had treated and at the same time got a video of…read more My All Stem Cell Type Orthopedic Stem Cell Research Infographic for 2018
(Click here for a larger view) A few days ago, I published my 2018 version of the orthopedic bone marrow stem cell research infographic. Since last year, I’ve also published an annual all cell types version, which adds in the research being published on adipose (fat) and birth tissue stem cells. This year I also…read more Will Stem Cells Regrow You New Cartilage if You Have None? Nope…

However, the joint they wanted to treat was without any cartilage and didn’t hurt and caused her no functional…read more Radiology Instructions for X-ray Based CCI Imaging
Dear radiology tech, This patient may have craniocervical instability and needs a specific set of images. These are broken into two types: Flexion-extension radiographs at the maximum range of motion Open mouth lateral bending views with a maximal ear-to-shoulder range Instructing the patient to look down slightly and look up slightly or to slightly bend…read more My 2018 Bone Marrow Orthopedic Stem Cell Infographic
Every year for the last five or so, I have created an orthopedic stem cell research infographic. This is my 2018 edition, and I’m happy to report that there has been big progress since last year! There are also some interesting research trends to report. (Click here for a larger view) Why Do This? This…read more
