705: Respect

I had a friend who used to buy writing and airbrush magazines. He said the airbrush mags start repeating after about 8 months, and the writing magazines after about 3. For Runner's World, I'm guessing you can buy one more, and then you might have to switch over to Jogger's Journal for awhile.

Dumb question but airbrush as in airbrushing photos? What the hell is in a magazine for that? Isn't that meant to be more under the table.

A teacher used to do a cross country/running club and a couple students were pretty hardcore, like eligible for scholarships and stuff so he'd help them out.

Before a race one guy asked him for advice because it's his first long race and he's never done one before and he was saying stuff like putting vaseline on your nipples because it'll turn raw and make sure you dont tie your shorts too tight so the skin isn't rubbed off.

Coming from a teacher asking a student to put vaseline on his nipples and keeping his shorts loose that could sound a little... you know.

I think Chemda mentioned this on a show a while back but it made me think of fond highschool memories.

I didn't research the studies you mentioned on the show, but you do realize medical studies go through more rigorous analysis than simply "some people got that". For a study to be considered conclusive, they have to show that their results are statistically signifficant. (ie, couldn't realistically have been results of dumb luck)

You do realize that maybe you should then, scientist?

Techniques for airbrushing photos one would assume, and no, it's not underground.

[McNally]

You can do airbrush paintings. Like, the shit you see on the hoods of awesome cars. That kinda stuff.

ok, I found the study you talked about and the second study that was probably the one mentioned:

Dr. Wilson's: http://archpsyc.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/short/65/4/439

The conclusion of that study is not at all related to what you read. There was a prior study that said there may be a link between depression and Alzheimer's and there were hypotheses that Alzheimer's caused depression. Wilson's study of 917 nuns and priests concluded that there was no link between depression and Alzheimers.

Quote: "Conclusion: We found no evidence of an increase in depressive symptoms during the prodromal phase of AD." The End. Whatever else the news story put as a result of this study is wrong.

So you were wrong in doubting scientists, and I was wrong with not specifying that scientific research and media's reports of scientific research to the public are not the same.


The second study I found that seems to support what your article was saying was conducted back in 06: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16461859

"Conclusion: In AD [Alzheimer's Disease], the presence of a lifetime history of depression corresponds to increases in AD-related neuropathological changes within the hippocampus. These changes go along with more rapid cognitive decline in patients with AD with a history of depression, and are more pronounced in patients with AD suffering from depression early on in the disease process, suggesting an interaction between major depression and AD neuropathology."

Basically, a lifetime history of depression (if you manage not to kill yourself) increases risk and severity of Alzheimer's

The abstract of the second article gives statistics for their certainty. I don't have access to the full article, or the interest, to actually do the math myself, but I'm sure Jeremy already got that for you and is working on verifying these studies.
