Synopsis: The piece argues that a U.S. military move against Venezuela would be an unnecessary gamble, even if it might unfold more smoothly than the 2003 Iraq war.

Synopsis: Dr. Robert E. Kelly argues that Trump's seizure of Nicolás Maduro is not a clean, limited strike but the opening move of a potentially open-ended occupation

Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) can complicate recovery after mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) by mimicking post-concussive symptoms. This case details the recovery of a 17-year-old female with T1DM who sustained an mTBI and lumbar spine fractures following a motor vehicle collision. Post-traumatic amnesia, short-term memory deficits, and impaired glucose regulation complicated her recovery. Cognitive symptoms of mTBI, such as working memory and attention deficits, can be worsened by nocturnal hypoglycemia, increasing the risk of poor glycemic control due to challenges with dietary and insulin management. Additionally, mTBI symptoms, such as headache and irritability, can overlap with hypoglycemia. At her one-week Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) follow-up, she reported persistent daily headaches, fatigue, neck pain, and nightly glucose readings in the 40s. In addition to standard concussion follow-up, the primary team coordinated a same-day evaluation by pediatric endocrinology, allowing real-time insulin adjustment in the clinic. With interdisciplinary management, the patient returned to her pre-injury cognitive baseline, her headaches improved, and her glucose levels stabilized. Misattributing symptoms to either mTBI or hypoglycemia can delay targeted treatment for both conditions, leading to worse functional outcomes and a prolonged rehabilitation course. This case highlights the importance of glycemic monitoring and team-based management in adolescents with T1DM recovering from concussion. It also illustrates the absence of standardized management strategies for adolescents with concurrent mTBI and T1DM.

Iran held off the U.S. Navy in the Strait of Hormuz with cheap drones and missiles. The bigger lesson may be the one China just learned about a future Pacific fight.

The devastating reality laid bare by recent stories on opioids is not an isolated anomaly.

Last month I talked about the amazing archeological findings of Neanderthal teeth and how they discovered ancient dental work on them dating back to 59,000 years ago. I also posed the question of whether the Neanderthals or ancient human ancestors were better or worse off than we are when it came to dental problems like cavities.
