For many types of chronic pain, such as low back pain, neuropathic pain (pain related to the nervous system), or arthritis, there is no easy fix. Doctors once primarily treated chronic pain primarily with passive treatments like medications. It is now known that pain medications are rarely effective on their own and can lead to addiction and other serious side effects. Today, many pain management specialists emphasize the importance of active treatments in addition to passive treatments like medications and surgery....

The activist, Franco Lollia, was convicted of spraying “State Negrophobia” in red paint on a statue of Colbert.

Acute myeloid leukemia is a cancer of the blood cells. In the spongy tissue of the long bones (bone marrow), stem cells are constantly dividing and maturing into new blood cells. When cancer develops in the stem cells, it starts forming immature blood cells instead. These immature cells don’t work as well as mature blood cells. About 20,000 new cases of AML were predicted to be diagnosed in the United States in 2021....

In an interview on CNN’s State of the Union Sunday, Kinzinger, who served as an Air Force pilot in Afghanistan, said the U.S. is in a better place than it was one week ago, but not necessarily in a good spot following what he called the “disastrous” withdrawal. He said it is a “real concern” how the U.S. will maintain counterterrorism efforts. “How is that we leave Afghanistan? We’re going to be able to maintain a counter-terrorism posture, supposedly, with this over-the-horizon magic stuff we have, but there’s already an ISIS threat when we’re there,” Kinzinger said....

Critics of the U.S. war in Afghanistan, as well as ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, have readily used the term “endless war” or “forever war” to describe the situation. They have said the U.S. must end these conflicts by bringing U.S. troops home, as there are often no clearly set goals or timelines for such wars to end. “The Taliban promised they would secure the perimeter. They didn’t. We need to go get our fellow Americans and allies,” Kinzinger, an Illinois Republican, tweeted on Thursday after news of the Kabul attacks and casualties broke....

The Togo international increased his goal tally to seven in 11 top-flight games this campaign as the Başakşehir Fatih Terim Stadium outfit closed the gap on the Lions at the summit of the Turkish league.

ADHD is a common neurodevelopmental condition characterized by core symptoms, including inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, which make it hard to pay attention and maintain self-control. While ADHD is often first diagnosed in children, it’s not uncommon for adults to learn they’ve been living with ADHD when symptoms make it difficult to thrive or “keep up” with peers later in life. Regardless of your age, untreated ADHD can seriously affect your ability to function in multiple areas of life, including school, work, relationships, financial well-being, and overall health....

Deneuve remembered a fashion show she had attended two years earlier put on by a young French designer named Yves Saint Laurent. He had begun making headlines with radical designs like trapeze dresses and shifts based on Mondrian paintings, and Deneuve thought his clothes had a classic line with just the right touch of naughtiness. So she suggested Saint Laurent and, as she recalled recently, “luckily, Bunuel was open to the idea....

The Ghanaian’s opener was just the precursor of good things for the Claret and Blue who registered a 4-1 home win at Villa Park. The strike has taken him two goals above his 2013-14 campaign record of 12 while on the books of Middlesbrough. Against Wolves, Adomah opened the scoring early, bundling the ball into the net from close range after Wolves failed to fully clear a corner in the eighth minute....

Adrenal fatigue can almost seem like a welcome label for frustrating symptoms some have long sought to find a reason for, but accepting it as an answer without further investigation may result in missing a diagnosis that can have similar characteristics, such as sleep apnea, an autoimmune condition, or primary adrenal insufficiency (a recognized condition that can be life-threatening if not caught). The Theory The concept of adrenal fatigue was coined in 1998 by a chiropractor and naturopath....

CBS Sports’ Jason LaCanfora says the prosecutor in the case signaled his willingness to discuss an agreement. Peterson’s attorney, Rusty Hardin, has said the case “will be up to a judge and jury to decide, which is the way it should be.” Peterson is charged with felony injury to a child, punishable by up to two years in jail and a $1,000 fine. He told police he “whupped” his 4-year-old son with a switch earlier this year but did not intend to harm the boy....

Peterson hopes to have a Dec. 1 trial date, making it more possible that could return to the field this season, although he’d need to be fully exonerated. This type of discipline, he said, is how his parents punished him.
