Fun Fact
BuzzFeed published a report claiming that Tumblr was utilized as a distribution channel for Russian agents to influence American voting habits during the 2016 presidential election in Feb 2018.
In a study in the journal Science Advances, the researchers validated the accuracy of the blood test that identifies key biomarkers of osteoarthritis.
They showed that it predicted development of the disease, as well as its progression, which was demonstrated in their earlier work.
The research advances the utility of a blood test that would be superior to current diagnostic tools that often don’t identify the disease until it has caused structural damage to the joint.
The x-rays of osteoarthritic human knees on the top row are entirely fake – a research team generated them using an artificially intelligent algorithm – while those on the bottom row are genuine. Or, wait, is it the other way around? The point is, it’s impossible to tell, even for medical experts. Why have scientists gone to the effort of creating fake X-rays, you might ask. Rest assured, there’s more to it than simply trying to fool orthopaedic doctors. Having access to large amounts of patient data can be extremely useful for developing diagnostic, classification, and educational tools, but sharing genuine medical data can be a highly bureaucratic process. The idea, then, is that if AI can generate fake data of such high quality as to be indistinguishable from real patient data, it could be used to help build valuable tools without the hassle of untangling all the red tape.

So, recently the arch of my right foot has collapsed causing my ankle to shift over. This has led to me repeatedly sublexing and rolling my ankle.
Now, I have to wear an ankle brace in special supportive shoes. I see my orthopedic surgeon on the 12th, he'll probably order some imaging to get done.
On another note, my neurologist is fighting my insurance company to get IVIG covered to finally start treating my AAG (which actually may have contributed to my foot collapsing).
If anyone else with EDS has dealt with collapsed arched and overpronation please DM me!
Hospitals in Aleppo do not have enough room for new patients in the wake of last week's devastating earthquake, a doctor in the Syrian city said. At the Al-Razi Hospital there are too many beds to fit into the wards. They reach end-to-end through corridors and into the chilly courtyard. "We weren't able to discharge patients from the hospitals even after treating them. The city is damaged and there are no places for them to go," said Dr Nizar Suleiman, the head of orthopaedics. "Huge numbers of patients came in a short period of time. We have a huge shortage in medicines, so it's really worrying. For example, we suffer from a lack of medical equipment to treat fractures. We already suffer from this shortage because of the crisis, and the siege [sanctions] make it worse." More than 4,400 deaths and 7,600 injuries have been reported in north-western Syria since a 7.8-magnitude earthquake struck neighbouring southern Turkey on 6 February, according to the UN.

5 Tips for a Successful Recovery from Orthopedic Surgery
The outcome of an orthopedic operation, like any other sort of surgery, depends on both the surgeon and the patient.
Even with the advancement of less invasive orthopedic surgeries that allow for speedier recovery, navigating the period still demands patience, diligence, self-discipline, and attention to doctor's directions.
If you are scheduled for orthopedic surgery, here are a few pointers to help you recover quickly, safely, and successfully.
1.) Make previous plans
Make plans for someone to drive you home and stay with you for the first few days following surgery to check your prescriptions, facilitate incision care, and assist you about the house until you are back on your feet.
Also, before your appointment, prepare your house to make your recuperation easier when you return. Equip your bathroom with safety equipment. Put nonslip strips on your floors and stairs, and eliminate anything that might cause you to trip.
2.) Strictly follow to your doctor's postoperative recommendations
Your orthopedic surgeon will give you precise advice on what you should and should not do throughout your recuperation. You must follow these directions as closely as possible to avoid problems or harm to the surgery site.
Your postoperative care package may also include information on when you may resume regular activities, indicators of problems (such as bleeding, extreme discomfort, fever, redness at the incision line, and so on), and when to contact your doctor.
3.) Coordinate carefully with your physical therapist
While it may feel like a hardship, physical therapy is critical to your rehabilitation. It can assist you reduce your chances of issues and ensure you're recovering properly.
Your physical therapist will collaborate with your orthopedic surgeon to design an appropriate rehabilitation program for you. Your physical therapist will most likely use patient education strategies, therapeutic modalities (e.g., heat and cold treatment, massage therapy, etc.), and exercises to achieve the following goals:
Enhancing circulation and facilitating healing
minimizing scar tissue development.
Helping you restore balance, movement, and independence.
Providing pain relief while lowering your dependence on pain drugs.
Increase your range of motion.
Reduce edema and stiffness.
Reducing your risk of future injuries
4 Follow a healthy diet.
A nutritious diet is beneficial for a variety of reasons, but it is especially crucial when your body is recovering after surgery. To repair optimally, your body need adequate vitamins and minerals. To aid healing, eat fruits and vegetables, as well as lean meats like chicken and fish.
5. Sleep when you're tired
Your body does some of its finest healing and repair when you sleep. Expect to feel more exhausted than usual following surgery, and listen to your body.
