Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:23:53 GMT

In order to provide reliable solutions, the medical field tends to adhere to established practices, but it’s important to examine treatments developed over five decades ago to ensure they are in line with the present medical landscape. Patients ought to question conventional neuropathy wisdom by urging foot and ankle surgeons to prioritize nerve conservation for neuropathy, rather than eliminating a small yet significant portion of anatomy that could be preserved.Physicians are educated to believe that neuropathy is permanent and progressive, with no effective remedy for the impaired nerves.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:23:53 GMT

By Chris Isidore and Steve Contorno | CNNDisney CEO Bob Iger fought back against Florida Governor Ron DeSantis‘ actions against his company, telling Disney shareholders that recent actions by the state were “anti-business.”The state of Florida has taken action to strip Disney of some of the powers it had over the land that includes and surrounds Disney World. Florida’s move came after the company objected to legislation passed last year to limit discussions of LGBTQ issues in Florida schools, a bill that opponents referred to as the “Don’t Say Gay” law.Iger, asked about the fight at the company’s annual shareholders’ meeting, made his most public defense to date of the company’s actions, and the most direct criticism of Florida’s actions.“Our point on this is that any action that thwarts those efforts simply to retaliate for a position the company took sounds not just anti-business, but it sounds anti-Florida,&#...

Alec Baldwin once acknowledged that lampooning Donald Trump on “Saturday Night Live,” during the four years of his turbulent presidency, was probably the “biggest job” of his career.But that Emmy-winning gig ended when Trump lost his re-election bid in 2020, which the outspoken Democratic actor celebrated, as Vanity Fair reported. “I don’t believe I’ve ever been this overjoyed to lose a job before!” Baldwin said in a tweet.Former President Donald Trump dances during a campaign rally after speaking at Waco Regional Airport, March 25, 2023, in Waco, Texas.  (AP Photo/Evan Vucci, File) More than two years later, you would expect Baldwin to loudly celebrate the prospect of his public nemesis being booked and arraigned in a New York courtroom Tuesday – making history as the first former president to face criminal charges.Thus far, however, Baldwin has been silent on Trump’s indictment –  perhaps because his fortunes have taken a steep downturn since he stopped playing Trump on ̶...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:23:53 GMT

Andrew Wiggins is back.But that doesn’t guarantee a thing for the Golden State Warriors.Sources confirmed to this newsgroup that Wiggins — who has missed every game since the NBA All-Star break due to a family matter — will return to the Dubs this week.The return of the team’s second-best player during last year’s title run is unquestionably a boost.As, the great David Lee once proclaimed, the Warriors are “Full Squad.”But the Warriors’ problems – which have resulted in this squad fighting for the No. 6 seed in the Western Conference – have been larger than just the absence of Wiggins.Yes, it would be easy to blame Wiggins’ absence for every ill the Dubs have faced over the last few weeks.But the truth is these Warriors have a complex: They can’t help but make things interesting, sometimes for no good reason.Related ArticlesGolden State Warriors | Warriors go rogue and let game slip away in Denver Golden State Warriors | Donte DiVincenzo ‘...

Could this be why the Twitter logo was replaced with the doge emoji?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:23:53 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) -- Twitter users around the world Monday logged on to find the Twitter logo that usually appears at the upper left side of the site's home screen replaced by the doge emoji. Twitter owner Elon Musk also tweeted a meme of the doge emoji being pulled over by a police officer. The officer in the meme is holding a driver's license with a picture of the Twitter logo and the doge emoji, a picture of a female Shiba Inu dog named "Kabosu," has a speech bubble saying, "That's an old photo." Here's why Google is reportedly cutting back on staplers While Musk's tenure in charge of Twitter has been characterized by a fair amount of seemingly random chaos for its own sake, there may be a more pointed meaning to Monday's logo change. According to a report in Reuters, Musk made a Friday evening filing to a Manhattan federal court asking that a $258 billion racketeering suit accusing him of running a pump and dump scheme to profit from the cryptocurrency Dogecoin be thrown ou...

‘Last man standing’: Klopp sad to see so many managers fired

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:23:53 GMT

LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — English Premier League managers are losing their jobs at a quicker rate than ever and it’s making Jurgen Klopp feel uncomfortable.“The elephant in the room,” the Liverpool manager said Monday, “is why I’m still sitting here in this crazy world. I’m the last man standing.”Not quite, but this is a season like no other in terms of coaching changes.The departures of Brendan Rodgers from Leicester and Graham Potter from Chelsea on Sunday marked the 12th and 13th managerial exits this season — a record for the league.Twelve of the 13 have been fired — also a record — with Brighton only changing coaches because Potter left the club for Chelsea in September.The previous highest number of firings in a single season was 10 in each of the 2008-09, 2013-14, 2017-18 and 2021-22 campaigns, according to statistics provider Opta.“It’s actually an awful number,” said Klopp, who also noted that Bayern Munich recently changed coaches in his native Germany, “but it is ho...
