Today we started our lecture with our associate dean Dr. Rice. In addition to his class in Career development, Dr. Rice and his bowtie have shared how pigs are used in skin research.
Research example
He even highlights Dr. Perricone products for skin and the debate over a 4 dollar prescription copay and a 400 neuropeptide ointment for your "face lift."
Let's find the medium between the two. Try healthy eating:

Lee Labrada Morning Start
"When achievers fail, they see it only as a momentary event, not a lifelong epidemic. And, it's not personal. Because you encounter a failure, you, yourself are not a failure. Faced with adversity, rejection, and failings, winners continue to persevere despite setbacks, and this is how they become winners, by refusing to think of themselves as failures. There is no famous person, nor anyone that has achieved anything of significance in any field, that has not failed at one time or another. It's how they have dealt with failure that has made them a success"

Micromedex and Dr. Drew
So here's a good way of referencing Drug Information resources in the context of current events.
In a CNN blog post, Dr. Drew disputes Murray defense claim, that the defense's opening arguments are false. As the article states, "When he heard the defense make the argument that the combination of lorazepam and propofol created a lethal "perfect storm,” Drew quickly noted that this assertion was “simply false.”
Notice the drug interactions when submitting Lorazepam and propofol into Micromedex's database:

Reward System and Neuroplasticity- Yale Study
Is it irrational to think that one makes your own choices? With these studies, we reframe this question within the context of your physiological responses. These articles force you to question the relationship with body composition (BMI measurements), sugar, your brain's reward system. Alice Park's article in the Times Magazine emphasizes this relationship.
"What happens in lean people, when their blood sugar is not dropping, is that their executive function lights up — the area involved in making decisions," explains Robert Sherwin, professor medicine at Yale and senior author of the paper, published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation. "This executive function controls the reward system, which is much less activated. But in obese people, that executive control is not activated when their blood sugar isn't falling. So they have continued activation of their reward system and that system dominates even if they're not hungry."

Take a Higher Dose of Aspirin if you have Diabetes
Take a Higher Dose of Aspirin if you have Diabetes
This post relates to Dr. Nuffer and Dr. Trujillo's Nutritiion lecture. Together they have shared the impact of obesity and the complicating factors that result, such as diabetes. I also learned that you can be specifically focused on Diabetes Education. Take a look here
Other than that, this post relates to the lecture in Experiential Learning and our OTC lectures, Aspirin specifically, for Professional Skills.
Until next time,
