Here is Ian Gillan (age 67) from Deep Purple in a recent interview:

You have been screaming rock music for over 40 years. How do you do it?

I think it’s quite natural, I do a lot of it, and so I keep myself fairly fit. My mates who were singers they quit to enjoy their success or raise families and they didn’t continue. Then they tried to come back years later but it was very difficult because vocal cords, unlike guitar strings, are unforgiving, you can’t change them. So I think I’ve been singing all my life, and therefore I’m pretty much fit, so to speak. Most things are within my scope, I sing pretty naturally so it’s not a strain, never has been.

Here is Deep Purple with Maybe I'm a Leo, Mainz, Germany, July 2011:

This is the same band 40 years ago, in 1972:

I have been to two concerts of Deep Purple, the last one was in June 2011 and it was quite impressive. The audience age ranged from 5 to 75 and everyone rose to their feet to the sound of Smoke on the Water.

Here is Mick Jagger on staying fit: "You watch what you eat, you exercise, you have a bit of fun. You keep on going forward. Don’t stop. Do what makes you happy. Don’t look at the clouds of tomorrow through the sunshine of today. That’s it."

Bell’s palsy is the abrupt paralysis of the facial nerve (cranial nerve 7, CN7), resulting in an inability to control facial muscles on the affected side. A common condition, Bell’s palsy has an annual incidence of 11-40 cases per 100?,000 population. Many patients recover without intervention; however, up to 30% have poor recovery of facial muscle control and experience facial disfigurement, psychological trauma, and facial pain.

From the NHS Choices YouTube channel: Bell's palsy is the temporary weakness or paralysis of the muscles in one side of the face. In this video, a speech therapist explains who is most at risk and describes common causes and treatment options available. Helen explains how she dealt with the condition and recovered from it:

Remember:

U MN damage
U pper face is OK (the patient is able to wrinkle his forehead)

LMN damage = patient is unable to wrinkle his forehead (our patient)

The examination of CN 7 palsy can be remembered by the mnemonic COWS:

C lose your eyes
O pen (the examining physician tries to open the patient's eyes)
W rinkle your forehead
S mile

Two main types of pharmacological treatment have been used to improve outcomes from Bell’s palsy:

- steroids
- antivirals.

The rationale for these treatments is based on the presumed pathophysiology of Bell’s palsy, namely inflammation and viral infection.

In a 2009 study published in the BMJ antivirals did not provide an added benefit in achieving at least partial facial muscle recovery compared with steroids alone in patients with Bell’s palsy.

Prof. Raymond Tallis - "Aping Mankind? Neuromania, Darwinitis and the Misrepresentation of Humanity"
Increasingly, it is assumed that human beings are best understood in biological terms; that, notwithstanding the apparent differences between humans and their nearest animal kin, people are, at bottom, organisms; that individual persons are their brains, and that societies are best understood as collections of brains ("Neuromania"); and that we should look to evolutionary theory to understand what we are now ("Darwinitis"); that our biological #39;roots #39; explain our cultural #39;leaves #39;. I will argue that we are not just our brains; rather we belong to a community of minds that has grown up over the hundreds of thousands of years since we parted company from the other primates. The gap between our nearest animal kin and ourselves is too wide to read across from the one to the other. RAYMOND TALLIS is Professor of Geriatric Medicine at the University of Manchester and a consultant physician in Health Care of the Elderly in Salford 1988-2006. He has 200 research publications in the neurology of old age (epilepsy and stroke) and neurological rehabilitation and is a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences. He has also published fiction, three volumes of poetry, and 22 books on the philosophy of mind, philosophical anthropology, literary theory, the nature of art and cultural criticism. He was awarded a DLitt, University of Hull, 1997; and LittD, University of Manchester 2002. He is an Honorary Visiting Professor in the Department of English at the University of Liverpool.

TMS cafe sci talk Anna Kuppuswamy
Monday, 3rd December 2012 at 7pm in the bar of The Showroom #39;Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation: a powerful technique to understand brain function #39; Dr. Annapoorna Kuppuswamy Senior Research Fellow, Institute of Neurology, UCL, London Towards the end of 19th century British and German neurologists showed that by electrically stimulating targeted areas in the brain, one can elicit movements in the limbs of an animal. Since then, stimulation of the brain to study its function has been a popular technique although not widely used in humans. In 1985 Dr Barker and colleagues from the University of Sheffield demonstrated for the first time the ability to painlessly stimulate discrete areas of the human motor cortex using a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation. Today TMS is one of the most used techniques to study human brain function and it has moved on to become a technique that can also alter brain function. I will be tracing the history and summarising the advances in our understanding of brain function as a result of using TMS. A practical demonstration of the technique will be shown.From:Chamu KuppuswamyViews:10 1ratingsTime:35:37More inPeople Blogs

Golf performance balance
Dr. Joseph DuChene DC Your Wellness Minute duchenenaturalhealth.com Golf performance balance and golf performance This is a big topic in many communities. I am going to explain a little about the neurology involved. One area that every golfer can improve upon is balance. There are two types of balance problems. The first one is technique related. If you have this then go to your golf instructor and have them look at your swing. The type of balance I am talking about today involves your vestibular system: your eyes, ears, joints and brain. The basic balance test: Get into a door jam or someplace safe and stand on one leg with your eyes open. Do this on both sides. You should be able to do this for 10 seconds without excessive movement or losing your balance. If you cannot do this then stop here because you have a real balance problem. Next do the same one legged standing with your eyes closed. The PGA norms for this test is about 15 seconds. But, you can shoot for a higher number because it is pretty easy to fix this. If you find that you have excessive movement or you are out of balance with your eyes closed then you are developing a balance problem and it is affecting your game. You cannot have the golf game you want with bad balance. The best way to fix your balance is to test it and practice it. The best thing about this test is that it is also the fix. When you stand there with your eyes open you are training your brain. So, the more you do this test the better your ...From:Joseph DuCheneViews:0 0ratingsTime:01:56More inEducation
