MARCO Grand Rounds for September 2, 2012

From Warren KD4GUA:

 

This Sunday we will discuss "Probiotics, Prebiotics, Synbiotics & Fecal bacteriotheapy."   Don't let this turn you off--replacing BAD bacteria in the gut with GOOD ones is moving forward.  We have all used Yogurt when we induce antibiotic runs so don't  act so startled.

 

By the way, now is the time to submit your favorite stock for the "MARCO HAM $STOCK DERBY."  (See page 9 last NL).  Each issue your favorite stock will be compared to his favorite stock and if yours moves ahead further than his you will be given points which will lead to a gift at the time of the Annual Banquet.

MARCO Grand Rounds for August 26, 2012

From Warren KD4GUA:

 

This Sunday we will discuss the disease of the week "WEST NILE VIRUS."  Time to tip over your swimming pools as they could be a  breeding site for these disease spreading mosquitoes.

     Symptoms: none in 110 to one case of encephalitis; mild fever in 30 cases to one case of encephalitis.  The mosquitoes carry the disease from birds and other humans to YOU.  No vaccine for humans yet so best to avoid endemic areas.

    Tune in with your fly-swatter--should be fun.

MARCO Grand Rounds for August 19, 2012

From Warren KD4GUA:

 

 This Sunday we will continue the discussion of sleep and its attributes and contrabutes (new word?)-morbidity increases with both not enough and too much sleep.  It is suggested that if your last name begins from A to M go to bed late and get up early and if  from N to Z, go to bed early and get up late (be awake by 11 am Eastern).  We will then test your cognition.  One of our members claims he stayed awake for 5 days straight--a record?  (He probably stopped counting by night "3"?). 

 

 On the agenda for the following weeks are West Nile Virus and the following week "Probiotics."  Tune in, should be fun.

MARCO Grand Rounds for August 12, 2012

From Warren KD4GUA:
 
This Sunday we will discuss "Sleep."  Recent evidence indicates humans should go to sleep when the sun sets, wake up four hours later for 1-2 hours and then go back to sleep.  During this 1-2 hr. period performance is at its best.  Suggest someone try this tonight and report in on Sunday the results.  Tune in should be fun.
