Thicker ankles are usually harmless. However, swollen ankles could potentially signal a deeper medical issue.
From hip dips to cankles, it seems like society can turn perfectly normal body parts into a prob. Cankles is a not-so-nice slang term for ankles that blend into the feet. Aesthetically speaking, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with them.
Thicker bones and more fat in the ankles may simply be due to genes and lifestyle factors. But sometimes, the ankles may swell and retain fluid due to an underlying medical prob like diabetes or hypothyroidism.

Dasatinib and quercetin used in combination clears a fraction of lingering senescent cells in aging mice, producing a sizable degree of rejuvenation, and reversal of aspects of many different age-related conditions. In humans, clinical trials are underway at a sedate pace. Dasatinib is a chemotherapeuticsmall molecule, while quercetin is a plant extract flavonol. Here, researchers discuss their search for plant extract alternatives that mimic the effects of dasatinib, in the hopes of produ…

Chronic, unresolved inflammation is a feature of aging. When the immune system is constantly active in this way, the consequent altered cell behavior throughout the body becomes disruptive to tissue and organ function, harmful to the individual. Chronic inflammation accelerates the onset and progression of all of the common fatal age-related conditions. This unwanted inflammatory signaling arises from many different roots, including the growing presence of senescent cells, but also the interaction of innate immune sensors with other forms of age-related dysfunction. For example, damage-associated molecular pa…

“The mystery of human existence lies not in just staying alive, but in finding something to live for.” ~Fyodor Dostoyevsky
When I was in my last semester of college in 2016, I got my first paid job working in libraries as a children’s library assistant. I can remember the passion and sense of purpose I initially felt when taking this job. The idea that, every day, I’d be helping foster a love of reading in kids felt like a worthwhile career.
Reading supports cognitive development in children. It enhances language skills and improves concentration. It encourages creativity and even fosters empathy, as it in…

The tech user experience for all ages is mostly depressing. A few delighters here and there break up a constant struggle to produce the right command, find the right part of the right website, and overcome the insanity of bug-fixing updates after updates. And that is if you are well-trained and proficient. Whether it is a phone, a tablet, or a much-needed website, we curse and complain – and then there’s another software update and a new set of complaints. We struggle with appliance and car interfaces, trying to understand the rationale for buttons and screens that are cluttered with too much information. Stay tuned for the May, 2024 report about these user exper…
