"The basic premise of the event is that hunters hunt rattlesnakes from the surrounding environment all across West Texas, and bring them into the roundup for the weekend. And during the roundup, these snakes are kept in a pit and then, one by one, beheaded and skinned in front of in front of audiences." - Elizabeth MeLampy Elizabeth MeLampy is a lawyer dedicated to animal rights and protection, and her passion for this work shines through in her latest book, Forget the Camel, the Madcap World of Animal Festivals and What They Say About Being Human . To research the book, Elizabeth traveled across the country, immersing herself in a wide range of animal festivals — from the Iditarod dog sled race to the rattlesnake roundup in Sweetwater, Texas. Elizabeth examines these festivals as revealing microcosms of our broader relationship with animals. Whether it's rattlesnake hunts, frog-jumping contests, ostrich races, or groundhog celebrations, these events reflect the ways humans use animals to express cultural identity, community pride, and historical traditions. Yet beneath the pageantry and excitement lies a deeper question: Is our fascination with these spectacles worth the toll it takes on the animals involved? With compassion and insight, Elizabeth invites readers to consider whether there’s a more ethical and empathetic way to honor our stories — one that respects both animals and the traditions they inspire. Please listen, share and read, Forget the Camel. It will be released on April 8th, 2025. https://apollopublishers.com/index.php/forget-the-camel/…

Medical treatments are shifting from broad approaches to precise genetic targeting, especially for finicky diseases like Alzheimer's dementia. While many past efforts focused on amyloid β plaques, new research is exploring genetic regulators like APP, which influences amyloid levels, and KDM5, an enzyme linked to memory and cognition. Clinical trials are testing drugs that could balance these proteins and potentially slow cognitive decline at its root.

This St. Patrick's Day we explore the history, nutritional profile, and potential health benefits of potatoes. Potatoes are a major global food staple, providing significant calories worldwide. Though often criticized for their high glycemic index (GI), different cooking methods, particularly chilling after cooking, can increase resistant starches, which improve gut health and reduce blood sugar impact. Potatoes also have a high satiety index, making them more filling than many other foods. While long-term clinical studies are needed, current epidemiological data suggest that potatoes are not linked to negative health outcomes—unless consumed as french fries. Share with a friend.

In this week's episode, we discuss cluster headaches, one of the most severe pain conditions known. This rare condition affects about one in a thousand people with excruciating, clockwork-like attacks can last for weeks or months, with few effective treatment options. In this episode, we break down the causes, triggers, and latest research on cluster headaches, from abortive therapies like oxygen and triptans to emerging neuromodulation treatments.

Forgetting a name or misplacing your keys can be frustrating, but when does memory loss signal something more serious? In this episode, we explain the key differences between normal aging and Alzheimer’s disease. We break down how doctors diagnose Alzheimer’s, the role of biomarkers, and why early detection is crucial for those considering clinical trials. Share with a friend.

This week, we talk about one of the big contributors to heart failure: inflammation. Heart failure affects millions and comes in two main types: HFrEF (weakened pumping) and HFpEF (thickened, stiff walls). While conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes contribute, chronic inflammation—driven in part by Interleukin 6 (IL-6)—plays a major role. IL-6 causes muscle damage, fibrosis, and worsens other diseases. Researchers are developing monoclonal antibodies to regulate IL-6, offering a potential breakthrough technology in reducing inflammation and improving heart health. Share with a friend.

When the hot water went out, you might call a plumber, but if the water heater is out it might instead be an electrical problem - just like how heart problems can stem from faulty electrical signals rather than the heart muscle itself. Atrial fibrillation (AFib), the most common arrhythmia affecting six million Americans, disrupts the heart’s electrical system, causing rapid, chaotic beating that increases stroke risk fivefold. In this week's episode, we review AFib, the risk factors to develop it, symptoms , how it happens, and treatments. Water you waiting for, listen today! Share with a friend.

This week we talk about two recent studies which suggest a potential link between adult ADHD and an increased risk of developing dementia; though causation remains unproven. These studies, one in Israel and another in Sweden, found that adults with ADHD were significantly more likely to develop dementia or mild cognitive impairment. These findings were consistent across most demographics, though ADHD medication appeared to reduce the risk. The research highlights the need for further exploration into shared mechanisms between these conditions and raises questions about whether ADHD may predispose the brain to dementia or if certain factors, such as psychiatric comorbidities or medication, play protective roles.

This week we discuss peripheral artery disease (PAD), a condition affecting blood flow in the peripheral arteries, most commonly in the legs. We cover its symptoms, such as leg pain, skin changes, and slow-healing wounds, as well as the potential risks of untreated PAD, including amputation and cardiovascular complications. We then talk about treatment options, including medications, lifestyle changes, structured exercise programs, and advanced interventions like revascularization. Share with a friend.

This episode explores atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), the leading cause of heart attacks and strokes worldwide. Learn about the role of LDL cholesterol in the development of fatty plaques that harden and block blood vessels, as well as the risks associated with ASCVD, including heart disease and peripheral artery disease. The episode highlights preventive strategies such as healthy lifestyle changes and treatments like statins, PCSK9 inhibitors, and emerging clinical trial therapies. Discover how understanding and managing LDL cholesterol levels can help reduce the burden of this preventable yet most deadly condition. Share with a friend.

In this episode, we delve into the complexities of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), a subtype of Major Depressive Disorder that fluctuates with the seasons. Seasonal Affective Disorder, a condition affecting millions during the darker months. We explore its symptoms, causes, and demographic prevalence, highlighting its impact on mood, cognition, and physical health. The episode also examines leading theories behind SAD, such as disruptions in circadian rhythms and hormonal imbalances linked to reduced sunlight exposure, and the biological underpinnings. We then move to existing treatment options, including light therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. With limited clinical trials, the episode underscores the importance of advancing research into effective interventions. Share with a friend. Rate, Review, and Subscribe to MedEvidence!

This week, we dive into the fascinating world of exosomes, the body’s nano-sized delivery drivers and communication hubs. We’ll explore what exosomes are, their role in cell-to-cell communication and healing, and the potential medical applications they offer. These include drug delivery, regenerative medicine, and combating diseases like cancer and viral infections. We’ll also discuss the challenges scientists face in harnessing exosomes for safe and effective therapies and why clinical trials are essential in uncovering their true potential. Tune in to learn how these tiny biological packages could shape the future of medicine. Share with a friend.
