Growing up as the child of a voice instructor, Emily Hardy developed a lifelong interest in singing. But the third-year student at Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine never dreamed her interest in vocals would lead to research related to the first larynx transplant at Mayo Clinic. “When I first learned that Mayo Clinic was advancing the larynx transplant, I thought the procedure is something that will be exciting for Mayo to be able to do for patients — something I couldn’t even fathom,” she says. “I knew I wanted to be fully involved in advancing the research in this…

Featured News July 16, 2024 ROCHESTER, Minn. — Researchers at Mayo Clinic have established new criteria for a memory-loss syndrome in older adults that specifically impacts the brain’s limbic system. It can often be mistaken for Alzheimer’s disease. The good news: Limbic-predominant Amnestic Neurodegenerative Syndrome, or LANS, progresses more slowly and has a better prognosis, and is now more clearly defined for doctors working to find answers for memory loss patients. Prior to the researchers developing clinical criteria published in the journal Brain Communications, the hallmarks of the syndrome could be confirmed only by examining brain tissue after a person’s death.…
Of all the culinary guilty pleasures that Americans enjoy, sliders are probably near the top of many lists. These mini burgers are served on an equally undersized bun, garnished with little more than pickles and grilled onions (and maybe mustard), and often consumed after sunset when gluttonous pursuits are better obscured under the cover of darkness. Indeed, sliders are commonly served in restaurants that aren’t necessarily where you were going, but instead where you ended up, and there’s nothing wrong with that. In fact, the titular inventors of the slider at White Castle have recently leaned into the chain’s reputation…

Before you crank up the belt, though, make sure you’re stable—remember, there are no handlebars to hold onto (so if you have balance issues, you might want to stick to a treadmill that has these). “If it hurts or makes you uncomfortable, stop,” Richey says. “There is no sense in getting hurt trying to get fitter and healthier.”1. Increase the speed.If you want to get your heart beating faster, the simplest option is to pick up the pace. A 2022 review in Frontiers in Public Health concluded that brisk walking can improve both cardio fitness and muscular strength (to an…
Whey is also generally easy to absorb and digest, provided you don’t have a dairy allergy or lactose intolerance, Asche says. (If you’re specifically concerned about lactose, look for powders made with “whey protein isolate” as opposed to “whey protein concentrate,” since, as SELF has previously reported, isolate forms contain next to no lactose.)CaseinCasein protein is similar to whey, since it also comes from curdled milk. But casein is made from the curd itself, rather than the liquid, and is dehydrated and processed into powder.Egg whiteEgg white protein powder comes from eggs. It’s dairy-free but not vegan, so is a…
Richard Simmons, (real name: Milton Teagle Simmons) has died at the age of 76, but while speculation about his sexuality and his retreat from public life provided a distraction from what he accomplished in society, we absolutely must learn from his ability to motivate the masses if we want to continue to improve the lives of those around us. With social media awash with posts of perfection, presenting shredded models that many people simply can’t relate to, Richard Simmons took the approach that exercise was something that could, and should, be accessed by all. He drew upon his own journey…
As we approach the doggiest days of summer and the humid atmosphere sometimes feels like walking at the bottom of a hot swimming pool, it’s time to look for some relief from the oppressive heat. For many people, that means a trip to your local frozen custard stand, where creamy, chilly treats await. Although ice cream and frozen custard are in the same family of dairy products, custard is much richer, thanks to higher butterfat content and the addition of egg yolks to a recipe that dictates slower churning than when making ice cream. If you’ve ever tried to make…
Surgeons at Mayo Clinic in Arizona perform a total larynx transplant Mayo Clinic’s unique culture of teamwork and collaboration, hallmarks since the days of Dr. Will and Dr. Charlie Mayo, laid the foundation for Mayo’s first larynx transplant that happened February 29 in Arizona. This groundbreaking surgery, only third larynx transplant in the U.S., continues the innovative work for which the Mayo brothers were known. A team of six surgeons and 20 support staff combined expertise from the Department of Otolaryngology with the mastery of the Department of Transplantation in an extraordinary 21-hour operation. They transplanted a donor larynx in a 59-year-old patient…
