    Is Appendix Removal Necessary For Everyone? Insights On Appendicitis

    April 22, 2025 - By 

    Most people don’t think much about their appendix until something goes wrong with it. Appendicitis, or inflammation of the appendix, might make a doctor order emergency abdominal surgery. But that doesn’t mean everyone needs to have their appendix removed. There’s an ongoing debate in the medical community about whether surgery is always necessary. What Does The Appendix Do? The appendix is a narrow, finger-shaped pouch attached to the large intestine, located in the lower right portion of the abdomen.

    Jalen Brunson’s egregious flopping is NBA Playoffs’ most annoying subplot

    April 22, 2025 - By 

    Jalen Brunson isn’t one of the biggest, quickest, or most explosive guards in the NBA, but he’s become one of the best because no one is craftier. Brunson has faced skeptics as he’s climbed the basketball world, going from an underrated recruit to a college basketball legend at Villanova to a second round draft pick who the Dallas Mavericks didn’t want long-term. He’s morphed into a true NBA superstar on the New York Knicks even with the same limitations traditional scouts have always seen in him. Ausar Thompson is almost the polar opposite of Brunson. He’s an elite quick-twitch athlete…

    Nurse Claps Back at DEI-Assumptions

    April 22, 2025 - By 

    by Jameelah Mullen April 22, 2025 White women have been the primary beneficiaries of diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, which were designed to help several marginalized groups, including religious minorities and veterans. Ever since Donald Trump promised to slash diversity, equity and inclusion programs, anti-DEI slander has been on the rise, particularly in the workplace, where Black women are more likely to experience microaggressions. When a Black female nurse faced a passive-aggressive anti-DEI rant from a white coworker, she decided to respond with the facts. The woman, known as mykaela_elise on Instagram, shared her story on her platform.  “On yesterday’s…

    Why Every Aspiring Day Trader Should Start With a Simulator

    April 22, 2025 - By 

    Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. We day traders are an impatient lot. After all, most investors and fund managers would pump their fists in ecstasy if their stock gained 50% in a year. Day traders are accustomed to seeing stocks move 50% in minutes. The problem is that the impatience for action and results is fully present in most day traders before they have even left the starting blocks as beginners, long before they’ve built up any knowledge, skills or discipline. That imbalance between expectations and experience is a great way to go broke in a hurry.…

You just need a blender and a handful of ingredients you probably already have in your pantry.…

    Key To Blood Sugar Control

    April 22, 2025 - By 

    In recent years, there has been a growing wave of curiosity around glucagon, the lesser-known counterpart to insulin. While insulin often gets the spotlight in conversations about blood sugar, glucagon quietly does the work behind the scenes to ensure your body has enough glucose during fasting, exercise, or low sugar levels. This balance between insulin and glucagon is vital to keeping your metabolism running smoothly. Researchers have long studied glucagon as a hormone that increases blood sugar levels. But modern research has brought it back into the spotlight for more reasons. It is now recognized not just as a key…

    1 key lesson the NBA Playoffs should take from the WNBA

    April 22, 2025 - By 

    The NBA Playoffs officially started over the weekend, kicking off what will end up being about two and a half months of postseason basketball. In theory, that’s very fun, but some of the opening games got me thinking about a few things the NBA can take from the WNBA to make their playoffs more thrilling. Let’s be so honest here: Sunday’s 131-80 score between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Memphis Grizzlies was not exactly the “playoff basketball” we want. The thought of even having to endure three more games of this series when we know the outcome is yawn-inducing.…
