Synopsis

Sixties Slow Down explores the science of aging, particularly focusing on the benefits of adjusting one's lifestyle to the natural rhythms of later life. It examines the psychological impact of societal expectations, the biological realities of aging, and the advantages of consciously slowing down. The book argues that society often pressures older adults to maintain an unsustainable pace, detrimental to their health. By understanding the changes inherent in aging, individuals can enhance their well-being and cognitive function. For instance, studies in gerontology reveal that rest and reduced stress are vital for optimal health in later life. The book's approach is comprehensive, blending psychology, life sciences, and biology to illustrate how pacing affects well-being.

 
It unfolds in sections, first defining what "slowing down" means in the context of aging and exploring psychological barriers. It then delves into the biological underpinnings of aging, drawing on research about cellular aging and cognitive decline. Finally, it synthesizes these insights to offer practical strategies for adapting daily routines and cultivating mindful practices. By challenging the notion that constant productivity is the ultimate measure of value, Sixties Slow Down advocates for balance and self-care, making it valuable for those navigating later life.

    Medical imaging is a critical component of modern healthcare, providing a non-invasive means to visualize the internal structures of the body. From early radiographs (X-rays) to cutting-edge technologies like Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET), medical imaging has transformed the way doctors diagnose, treat, and monitor diseases. It allows clinicians to detect conditions that may otherwise remain hidden, aiding in early diagnosis and improving treatment outcomes.  
    The use of medical imaging dates back over a century, with Wilhelm Röntgen’s discovery of X-rays in 1895 being one of the most groundbreaking advancements in medical science. This discovery laid the foundation for a range of diagnostic techniques that have become indispensable in healthcare. Over the years, the field has evolved dramatically with the introduction of diverse imaging technologies, each offering unique advantages in specific clinical contexts. 
    Today, medical imaging includes a variety of techniques, such as X-ray, ultrasound, CT (Computed Tomography), MRI, PET, and more recently, advanced methods like 3D imaging and functional imaging. Each of these modalities provides detailed images of the body’s internal structures and functions, enabling physicians to identify and assess diseases ranging from fractures and infections to cancer and neurological disorders. For instance, X-ray is often used for skeletal imaging, while MRI is considered the gold standard for soft tissue imaging, especially in the brain and spinal cord.

    Can Medicine be Cured?

    A fierce, honest, elegant and often hilarious debunking of the great fallacies that drive modern medicine. 
    Seamus O'Mahony writes about the illusion of progress, the notion that more and more diseases can be 'conquered' ad infinitum. He punctures the idiocy of consumerism, the idea that healthcare can be endlessly adapted to the wishes of individuals. He excoriates the claims of Big Science, the spending of vast sums on research follies like the Human Genome Project. And he highlights one of the most dangerous errors of industrialized medicine: an over-reliance on metrics, and a neglect of things that can't easily be measured, like compassion. 
    'A deeply fascinating and rousing book' MAIL ON SUNDAY 
    'What makes this book a delightful, if unsettling read, is not just O'Mahony's scholarly and witty prose, but also his brutal honesty' THE TIMES

    The ear, nose, and throat (ENT) are interconnected structures that perform essential functions such as hearing, balance, respiration, and vocalization. Their anatomical complexity allows them to work together efficiently, contributing to overall health and communication. 
    The ear is divided into three main sections: the outer ear, middle ear, and inner ear. The outer ear consists of the auricle (pinna) and the external auditory canal, which collect and direct sound waves toward the tympanic membrane (eardrum). The middle ear houses the ossicles—the malleus, incus, and stapes—which amplify sound vibrations and transmit them to the inner ear. The inner ear contains the cochlea, a spiral-shaped structure that converts sound waves into electrical impulses sent to the brain via the auditory nerve. The inner ear also includes the vestibular system, which regulates balance through the semicircular canals and otolithic organs that detect head movements and spatial orientation. 
    The nose serves both respiratory and olfactory functions. It is structurally divided into the external nose and the internal nasal cavity. The external nose consists of bone and cartilage, while the nasal cavity is lined with mucosa and separated by the nasal septum. Inside the nasal cavity, the nasal conchae (turbinates) filter, warm, and humidify incoming air. The olfactory epithelium, located in the upper nasal cavity, contains specialized receptors that detect odors and transmit sensory information to the brain through the olfactory nerve. Additionally, the paranasal sinuses—frontal, maxillary, ethmoid, and sphenoid—contribute to voice resonance, mucus production, and the reduction of skull weight.
