Very cool new concept. It's simple in theory, surprised it hasn't been developed before.

Knife blade in temporal lobe causes a headache

Check out the xrays in the article!

Abstract

Massive alcohol intake usually resolves in a banal headache. We report a case of a patient presenting with acute alcohol intoxication in which the ensuing “hangover” was due to a knife blade deeply retained in the brain parenchyma. This case underlines the unpredictability of retained foreign bodies without a high level of suspicion and a detailed description of the circumstances of admission.

Keywords: stab wound, brain, headache, alcohol intoxication

Retained knife blade: an unusual cause for headache following massive alcohol intake

I was disappointed to find out at the end it was an ad for Samsung, so I’m warning you up front, but it’s still pretty cool if it’s real, hard to tell if it’s real or not though.

DIY Emergency Cricothyrotomy Keychain

For all of those times when you find yourself having to save someone’s life because they can’t breath through their mouth, you can buy LifeStat, The Emergency Pocket Airway Tool. Yours in brass/aluminium for only $125, or as a gift for that special someone, 24k gold plate for $250.

Don’t know how to perform an emergency cricothyrotomy? It’s just 7 easy steps:

Dr. French, inventor of the Emergency Pocket Airway and an Ear, Nose, and Throat Physician, states the following:

1. In an emergency, unscrew the device from the end threaded onto the key ring.
2. Unscrew the other end. A trochar and cannula will slide out.
3. Perforate cricothyroid membrane or other accessible area of airway with trochar threaded within cannula.
4. Withdraw trochar after it and cannula are within lumen of trachea.
5. Thread small end of outer casing into hub of the cannula, thereby extending the length of what has become a breathing tube.
6. Spontaneous or assisted breathing now possible. Ambu or respirator adaptable.
7. Apparatus may remain in position during subsequent attempt at oral intubation.

Icelandic biotech company deCODE Genetics slides towards bankruptcy

“This might seem like a simple case of yet another biotech out-stripping its capital - but it's sadder than that. While it appears that deCODE made some poor strategic decisions in a business sense, it did use its unique assets (i.e. access to the DNA, health and genealogical records of a large proportion of the Icelandic population) to answer fundamental questions about human genetics. A remarkable number of the genome-wide association studies published over the last couple of years have come from deCODE (I've heard the company described as "a biotech that acts like an academic research institute").”

127 jalapenos in 5 mins

I'm not convinced these jalapenos are actually hot - only the big dude is sweating at the end, and he looks like he'd be sweating after standing up for 5 mins anyway. They are drinking milk after though, so there must be some heat there I guess.
