Masks: The Latest Fashion Accessory

Who knew??? Now that masks have become de rigueur, you can find just about anything you want on a mask… cartoon characters, designer logos, floral designs, sports teams, etc. They can be made to match your outfit, or your mood… but the most important thing about masks, is how well they work.

A recent CNN Article, reports on a study performed at the Duke School of Medicine in which masks were tested for their efficacy.

The best performing masks were the N95 masks (14 above), as one might expect. Procedure masks (1 above) and home made masks (2-10 and 13 above) also performed well. Neck gaiters and bandannas (11 and 12 above) performed the worst with neck gaiters actually increasing the number of respiratory droplets.

Sleep Inertia and the Adolescent

Sleepy Adolescent

What is Sleep Inertia? It’s the feeling you get when you wake suddenly from REM sleep. It causes disorientation and a shaky feeling that can last up to an hour. If you’re sleep deprived (pretty much everyone!), that feeling can remain for two or more hours. That could describe the daily experience of nearly every adolescent you know. Up at dawn, no time for breakfast, off to school, after school sports, lessons, or a job, eat on the run, home late, stay up late doing homework, get a few hours of sleep, and repeat.

More News About Direct to Consumer Orthodontic Treatment

3m-clarity-aligners

More news about direct to consumer orthodontic treatment comes from the American Dental Association (ADA). The ADA has filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) Division of Consumer Protection regarding aspects of the marketing and sales of direct-to-consumer plastic teeth aligners. This follows their citizen’s petition sent in June to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) which stated that the public is being put at risk by companies that are knowingly evading the FDA’s “by prescription only” restriction that the agency placed on teeth-aligning materials.
